Design changes in Windows 11
posted

Hi Infragistics Team,

i just installed the first preview of Windows 11 and had a look an the design changes. Microsoft introduced some new shiny stuff for standard controls like textboxes. They now have a thicker line on bottom which becomes blue if the control gots the focus.

Microsoft also has an update for .NET-Framework where they introduced this changes for the standard .NET WinForms Controls.

I know it is quiet an early stage, but du you already have plans to also upgrade Infragistics Toolsets to fullfill the new design standards for Windows 11. Because currently out app looks quiet ugly on Windows 11. It does not totally fit into the rest of the applications.

Regards

Andreas

    Hello Andreas, 

    I did a quick test comparison and our UltraTextEditor does not show a line/blue when hovered when using Windows 11 compared to MS. However its too early to tell if our controls will pick up other new OS changes automatically. This difference appears be related to how we draw a border. We haven't started thoroughly testing nor do we have a roadmap yet for Windows 11.

    Our controls should continue to appear as they do in other versions of Windows as demonstrated below. And we will most likely advertise this when Windows 11 launches. Keep in mind we will document new changes that are made to reflect/revert the OS as we see fit when they become available. However I don't expect this sort of development until next year.

    Here is a screenshot of our UltraTextEditor in Windows 11 compared to the MS textbox out of the box in .NET 4.8. It still functions similar to Windows 10.
