Currently the interface IMaterialControl provides support to hold depth information. However, this feature hasn't been implemented yet. Shadows should be drawn dynamically, which will be a challenge because they're relative to the depth of the component behind it.

Any ideas how we could accomplish this on the on a clean way?

also a maybe renaming them to another pattern:
for example:
GetMainTextColor() to ColorMainText or
GetDisabledOrHintBrush() to BrushDisabledOrHint

I need to extend validation i try to use this solution, works on the fly with no material form, but not attached to material control, how can i add this functionality to inputs control validation

Is there no way to have a different theme across different forms/windows?

When you have 2 (or more) MaterialSingleLineTextField with consecutive tab order, you need to press Tab twice to get the focus on the next one.... i'm looking to just need 1 press on tab to get the focus on next Textfiled

Is there a way to set the hint text color?

ContextMenuStripItems do not always resize properly and the black theme does not always update everything.

First of all, to be clear, this isn't exactly an issue.

This is for deciding which controls to make next. I wanted to give everyone insight on what there is left to be made and a space for discussion. Idealistically this would be all controls specified in Google's Material Design document. However I think we should start with the most important ones for desktop usage.

The ones I find would be most useful to have are (not in particular order):

• List
• Menu
• Slider
• Toast
• Switch
• Multi-line text field
• Tooltips

I am updating an application to use this form design, but when I try to update the form title I don't see the change. It seems to always stay the same as when the application was launched.

How about autoscroll? Standart autoscroll is awful inhibits.

how can i hide the control box ( minimize, maximize, close) button???
I set controlbox to false on properties but stilla appear, any suggetion??

are you planing to support datetimepicker control as well?

As I can overwrite or enable SelectAll() command to the TextBox , I tried everything without success

The MaterialTabControl look like a normal TabControl, but all others components work.
http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/227095Screenshot72.png

purely cosmetic, however, when you go to show another dialog, the animation of the triggering button is suspended due to the single threaded nature of the form, then complete after the previous form has been closed out of. Some sort of way to have click event triggered post animation completion would be nice.

When you have a standalone MaterialTabControl you can add tabs without issues in the form designer.

However when an instance of the MaterialTabSelector has the BaseTabControl configured it will throw exceptions in the OnPaint method inside the MaterialTabSelector.cs. This is because when the tab is added (or deleted) it does not recalculate the amount of rectangles to use causing exceptions here:

            g.DrawString(
                tabPage.Text.ToUpper(), 
                SkinManager.ROBOTO_MEDIUM_10, 
                textBrush, 
                tabRects[currentTabIndex], //This tabRects object has not been updated to reflect the new amount of tabs

I was attempting to add a Material Line Text Box to a Material Tab and Visual Studio produced the following Error:

Control does not support transparent background colors.

Thanks,

All components should have a proper default size set as described in the MD specifications. Currently this isn't the case, e.g. when adding a divider the height will be set to ~10px, while it should be just 1px.

With this it will be much easier and quicker to make up your form.

When adding buttons, text boxes etc to the design of an application, the actual program doesn't have any of the things in the design (this is probably my fault but some explanation would be useful!)

I'm having problems adding the material single line text field inside a tab control can you help

I noticed when there is a control that comes to the bounds of the main form and the user tries to resize the form at that place, it won't work. The cause of this is because the control will catch the mouse event, and not the form itself.

Hey, is there are way to make TabControl Alignment work with Left alignment?

Thank you.

the changes on the colorscheme or theme of the form doesn't show up in the designer :/ .

I'm unable to get the menu to work correctly. Even when I open the demo it doesn't work. The menu doesn't show up at all when I run either mine or the demo app. I can see it added to the project and I can click on it and it comes to the front but it looks as if it goes to the background. Thoughts?

So the issue with VS13 is that when I drag and drop the dll I get the "toolbox items added" but they do not show up after a refresh or a restart of VS. I installed Via NuGet and Haven't tried manually compiling it yet...

The problem is that MaterialSingleLineTextField is just a holder for a base textbox, but of the type of Control. It draws the onfocus animation. To catch the events from the TextBox itself you would have to subscribe to the events of the base TextBox in it.

Also setting the SelectedIndex/Tab in Form.Load event causes a crash at this line:

var rippleSize = (int)(animationProgress * TabRects[baseTabControl.SelectedIndex].Width * 1.75);

with this exception:

Additional information: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

because 'TabRects' is not initialized yet.

Also can I suggest that when setting the SelectedIndex/Tab programmatically that the ripple effect should expand from the middle, if at all.

Great work btw, I love Android's Material Design 👍

This definitely needs more customization, for one there should be a way to disable the title rendering.

Flat button has a bug, it is always Auto Size, hence you cannot change its size.

Thats for now.

Is it possible to set the color scheme of for a specific button? I would like some of my buttons to have a different style so they stand out more.

I tried to catch the maximize event but failed.
Also I can't disable control box and buttons.

This library supports datagridview too? Like 70% of my project is datagridview, so I neede it to be materialized too.

Adding controls inside containers like TABCONTROL will make the control(s) black and show up unreadably to the user designing the interface, Although the controls show up inside the application whilst running/debugging.

MaterialSkin embeds the Roboto font. However, the font sizes can't be translated literally from Google's design specification because it's different on desktop. While building up this skin I've neglected it a bit. This needs to be looked at again to make sure it's consistent everywhere.

If the user clicks anywhere inside the TextBox a second time, the Hint will disappear. And when using Dark Theme, it will cause a white box to appear inside.

It fixes itself when the mouse leaves the TextBox, or a key is pressed.

Here's a gif (The Hint is still barely visible in the gif, but that's a issue with the gif itself. The Hint does completely disappear when viewing outside the gif)

I tried the MaterialSkinExample project on my machine and noticed the MaterialListView's column headers seem to be drawn like regular winforms ListView headers.

Example:

I've inspected the issue and it seems the overridden method OnDrawColumnHeader is not called.
(I Used a breakpoint at the beginning of the method and it was never reached.)
Usually this means either the View property isn't set to View.Details or the DrawOwner is false but those are taken care of in the constructor.

Furthermore, I tried adding an overriden OnDrawSubItem to MaterialListView.cs and this one WAS called.
( This method have the same "requirements" as the OnDrawColumnHeader - Details View, DrawOwner=true)

I've tried:

• Running in both debug and release
• Changing my visual theme: Aero/Windows 7 Basic/Windows Classic
• Subscribing manually to the DrawColumnHeader event - from within the control and from the owner form.

None of these worked.

see title
(and sorry if this is the wrong place)

When I click the "maximize" button, the task bar disappeared.

when a windows using material skins is left open and the screen locks so you have to enter you password to get back in, when you come back, the window shows a large red square and 'X' in the background.

I set up everything in my TabControl, linked it to a TabSelectror, and everything ran beautifully. Unfortunately, since you can't remove a tabpage while the program is running, because it will crash the tabSelector, i tried adding it while the program was running. I deleted the tab, and that's where all hell broke loose.
The exception i get originaters from MaterialSkin.Controls.MaterialTabSelector.OnPaint(), and says
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

Please someone tell me what to do, because creating a new tabControl with all the controls working properly would take ages. Thanks!

New components, like progress bar and dropdown, please!!!

Hi, Can I block a tab ? How do I do this ?
Sample:

TAB1 | TAB2 | TAB3

My tab 2, then will unblock after that I click in a button in TAB 1.

Im sorry for my english!! And thank you!!

My materialCheckBox1.Checked always defaults to false, even when it is checked. I'm using as a "have you accepted Terms and Conditions" with a simple IF. I cannot get the if to run the main code that should happen when you accept terms and conditions, it only runs the "please accept terms and conditions" code.

        if(materialCheckBox1.Checked == true)
        {

        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("You cannot install " + Resources.ResourceManager.GetString("modname") + " without accepting the Terms and Conditions.");
        }

Tried to run on .net4 but it keeps saying missing library/reference. I reinstalled the reference from nuget but doesnt solve the problem.

Thanks

can u add the function to toggle the control box on the top right corner?
thanks

When I first made the SingleLineTextBox I quicky thrown in an implementation of the Hint as described in Google's Material Design Specs. However, this implementation is working far from correct, yet.

It should always show the hint text when the textbox is empty & in the correct color.

Currently I'm setting the hint as text of the baseTextControl when it has no text, but this solution has disadvantages. When the user types afterwards, the hint text is still there and is to be removed by the user itself. Instead it should just remove and the user should be able to type in directly.

MaterialForm currently doesn't respect a few of the properties that a Form has:

• Be able to block forms from being resized
• Be able to block forms from maximizing/minimizing
• Show or hide the ControlBox

I tried to add a picture to the raised button but it doesn't work is there a solution for that ?
