Why Choose Rules Manager for WPF?
Improved Data Visualization and User Experience
Conditional formatting lets users highlight key data points and trends instantly. Our WPF Rules Manager provides a familiar Excel-like experience.
Developer Efficiency and Application Flexibility
A runtime management system minimizes hard-coded logic by enabling users to manage rules. Developers benefit from a clean API and reduced maintenance workloads.
Scalable and Consistent Data Presentation
Apply uniform formatting across DataGrids, Pivot Grids, and other controls. The approach ensures consistency and scales smoothly for large, complex applications.
Conditional Formatting Rules Manager Key Features
Gradient Color Scale Formatting
Apply two or three-color gradient scales to highlight patterns and trends in DataGrid cells or ListView rows. This feature enables heatmap-style visualizations that enhance data analysis and readability for end users.
Percentage-Based Data Bars
Display data bars based on value percentiles instead of fixed numeric thresholds. This allows for more adaptive visual indicators in DataGrids and FlexGrids, especially when working with variable or large-scale datasets.
Icon Sets for Trend Indicators and Alerts
Enhance conditional formatting by displaying icons alongside text and cell styles. Choose from over 30 built-in icons including arrows, flags, and symbols, to visually convey direction, status, or alerts within your data views.
Built-In Rule Management Panel
Provide users with an intuitive, dockable UI panel for managing formatting rules. Users can easily create, edit, reorder, rename, or delete rules at runtime without writing a single line of code.
Comprehensive Runtime Style Editor
Allow end users to fully customize the look and feel of each formatting rule through a built-in style editor. Modify colors, borders, icons, gradients, and more to match your app’s theme or data context.
Additional Rules Management Features
Seamless Integration with WPF and ComponentOne Controls
The WPF Rules Manager works out of the box with standard WPF ListView and DataGrid controls. It also integrates seamlessly with ComponentOne FlexGrid, FlexPivot, and ListView for advanced scenarios.
Multi-Column and Range-Based Formatting
Easily apply conditional formatting rules across multiple columns or specific cell ranges in your DataGrids. This provides fine-grained control for targeting exactly where rules should apply.
Custom Expression Support
Use the built-in expression parser and formula editor to define complex, rule-based conditions. Formulas can evaluate dynamic logic to determine when and how cells are formatted.
