No other WPF control toolkit is updated as often and as widely used.

The control toolkit that beautifully fills in the gaps in WPF. Provides 103 controls, panels, and themes that are needed by every WPF developer in the course of building an application’s UI. There are 9 themes, ensuring the toolkit’s controls are styled to fit right in with the rest of your application’s controls.

Equip yourself and your team with Toolkit Plus—and with the help of our technical support team—to improve the programming experience of WPF and to be able to produce software that is otherwise much more difficult and time-consuming to create.

Widely used, updated often

Based on our wildly popular CodePlex project, known as Extended WPF Toolkit Plus, it has benefitted from widespread use with over 1 million downloads on CodePlex and Nuget. The large user base has resulted in abundant comments, requests, and bug reports which the Xceed team has resolutely used to improve the toolkit. Xceed has made and released about 100 improvements and bug fixes a year. Welcome to the most solid and supported WPF toolkit.

  • Provides 60 controls, most that are not present in WPF and Microsoft’s own WPF Toolkit. The controls that are duplicated provide important capabilities and features missing from their standard WPF equivalent.
  • Provides 9 themes for all the toolkit’s controls, including Windows 10, Material Design (Light/Dark) & Fluent Design (Light/Dark). All the toolkit’s controls are designed to be themable.
  • Provides an additional 21 controls for building apps with the Material Design look, to give your WPF apps a look and feel that blends in with the latest modern Web applications.
  • Provides 14 layout panels for the SwitchPanel control.
