Basic Make-Up


Low-class appliations can easily get popular as soon as they have a neat UI. So I choose only the best (free) UI components for efiRay.

My choice so far:

Telerik RibbonBar (as mentioned earlier it's free for registered MSVC#Express-users)

SteepValley XPCommonControls (free XP-alike controls - for example a very nice ItemList)

ComponentFactory Krypton Toolkit (free skinned - i.e. e.g. Office2007-ish - controls for grouping and displaying basic controls)

The Ghengis Project (free Functionality for covering various smaller issues)

Skybound Components (free controls - for example an enhanced tooltip provider)

Empty Project Files



Just a small status update here:




I set up a SubVersion server and filled my new repository with an empty core framework of EfiRay.


As you can see on the first picture, everything is working smoothly - even with all the third-party UI-controls ;-)


Oh, and my Vector3D-class got a struct. For efficiency reasons, I think. Basically beacause FxCop adviced me to do so.
