KGy SOFT Windows Forms Libraries Help
KGy
The KGySoft.WinForms namespace contains some general, WinForms-specific types, extensions and helper classes that
can be used in a Windows Forms application. It is also the container of the KGySoft.WinForms.Components,
KGySoft.WinForms.Controls and KGySoft.WinForms.Forms namespaces.
Remarks
Classes
| AsyncTaskBase | Represents a cancellable and completable asynchronous task that can be used even in frameworks that do not support the and keywords. |
| ContentAlignmentExtensions | Extension methods for the ContentAlignment enumeration. |

| EventHandlerExtensions | Provides extension methods for the EventHandlerList type. |
| HyperlinkClickedEventArgs | Provides data for the TaskDialog.HyperlinkClicked and AdvancedLabel.HyperlinkClicked events. |
| LocalizationContext | Represents the context of a localization operation that provides information for the LocalizationRequested event, and can determine the source of the resources for dynamic automatic localization. |
| LocalizationHelper | Provides members to localize Windows Forms controls and other objects. The ApplyStringResources method is automatically called by BaseForm and BaseUserControl instances if their DynamicStringLocalization property is set to a non-default value. The LocalizationRequested event can be handled to redirect the localization requests to a custom resource manager, or to set the value for a given key programmatically. |

| Screenshot | Provides methods to capture screenshots. |
| TreeNodeExtensions | Provides extension methods for the TreeNode class. |
| VisualStyleHelper | Provides helper methods for working with visual styles. Unlike the public members of the VisualStyleRenderer class, it supports high-DPI or custom themed styles (e.g. Windows 10+ dark theme), newer theme classes (e.g. DatePicker), and some additional visual style values, such as font properties. |
| WinFormsModule |
Represents the KGySoft.WinForms module.
See the Remarks section of the Initialize method for details. |
Interfaces
