I beleive you mean methDW and popDW should be in #6 I will add a comment to #6 about this. Anyway absent properties and methods will be added on the same stage of development.

[neoxeo]

Yes, methDW and popDW should be in #6, thanks to understand me :-)

We started a process of making UI more compatible with WinForms. New classes, enums, methods which are present in WinForms are being added to the UI. Also some enums will be renamed to be more compatible with WinForms. I will post an updates here.

[generalloki]

• Key -> Keys
• MessageBox made more compatible with WinForms. All MessageBox related enums are updated to have all elements existing in WinForms. All static Show methods are made in the same way.
• MessageBoxResult renamed to DialogResult.
• Added ContextMenuStrip: ContextMenu.
• Added IWin32Window: Window.
• Added ToolStripMenuItem: MenuItem.
• Added Form : Window.
• Added Graphics : DrawingContext.
• Added absent key declarations to Keys.
• Added Control.CreateGraphics.
• PenDashStyle -> DashStyle
• Create Border3dSide
• Create GraphicsUnit

@neoxeo , Thanks!

Finally, I started to use your tables and find them very convenient to use. Our current goal is to port fully functional Alternet.Editor to Alternet.UI, so all changes will be in this area. I will post here an updates of our progress.

[generalloki]

• WinForms related: Font more compatible with WinForms #6.
• WinForms related: SolidBrush.Color set method.

I want to add "Events" in my extract. I test to find Events for Button with this code :

private void getEvts()
{
    // load ANUI dll
    var assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(@"C:\Users\Testeur1\source\repos\AlternetUI\Source\Alternet.UI\bin\Debug\net8.0\Alternet.UI.dll");

    // get types
    foreach (var type in assembly.GetTypes())
    {
        if (type.FullName == "Alternet.UI.Button")
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(type.FullName);
            //EventInfo[] events = type.GetEvents(BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public);
            EventInfo[] events = type.GetEvents();
            foreach (var item in events)
            {
                Debug.WriteLine(item);
            }
        }
    }
}

Result : System.EventHandler TextChanged System.EventHandler GotFocus System.EventHandler LostFocus System.EventHandler CurrentStateChanged System.EventHandler ToolTipChanged System.EventHandler IsMouseOverChanged System.EventHandler Click System.EventHandler ParentChanged System.EventHandler1[Alternet.UI.PaintEventArgs] Paint System.EventHandler MarginChanged System.EventHandler PaddingChanged System.EventHandler VisibleChanged System.EventHandler AfterShow System.EventHandler AfterHide System.EventHandler MouseCaptureLost System.EventHandler MouseEnter System.EventHandler MouseLeave System.EventHandler EnabledChanged System.EventHandler BackgroundChanged System.EventHandler ForegroundChanged System.EventHandler FontChanged System.EventHandler VerticalAlignmentChanged System.EventHandler HorizontalAlignmentChanged System.EventHandler SizeChanged System.EventHandler LocationChanged System.EventHandler1[Alternet.UI.DragStartEventArgs] DragStart System.EventHandler1[Alternet.UI.DragEventArgs] DragDrop System.EventHandler1[Alternet.UI.DragEventArgs] DragOver System.EventHandler`1[Alternet.UI.DragEventArgs] DragEnter System.EventHandler DragLeave System.EventHandler Idle Alternet.UI.DependencyPropertyChangedEventHandler DataContextChanged Alternet.UI.KeyEventHandler PreviewKeyDown Alternet.UI.MouseEventHandler MouseMove Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler PreviewMouseDown Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler MouseDown System.EventHandler LayoutUpdated Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler MouseLeftButtonDown Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler MouseRightButtonDown Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler PreviewMouseRightButtonUp Alternet.UI.MouseEventHandler PreviewMouseMove Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler MouseUp Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler MouseRightButtonUp Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown Alternet.UI.KeyEventHandler KeyDown Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler PreviewMouseDoubleClick Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler MouseDoubleClick Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler PreviewMouseUp Alternet.UI.TextInputEventHandler PreviewTextInput Alternet.UI.TextInputEventHandler TextInput Alternet.UI.KeyEventHandler PreviewKeyUp Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler PreviewMouseRightButtonDown Alternet.UI.MouseWheelEventHandler PreviewMouseWheel Alternet.UI.MouseWheelEventHandler MouseWheel Alternet.UI.MouseButtonEventHandler MouseLeftButtonUp Alternet.UI.KeyEventHandler KeyUp System.EventHandler Disposed

But there are some events that are present in this list but not present when I want to use button like this :

I have tried to play with Bindings Flags like "BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public" ... but without success.

Any idea ? Thanks

Basically to get list of events I use the following code:

            var events = AssemblyUtils.EnumEvents(typeof(Button), true);

            foreach (var item in events)
                Application.Log(item.Name);

What exactly event handler you want to assing?

Thanks. I will test this tomorrow.

I don't want to assign event, just get all of events for each component to identify which event present into Winforms and not présent into AlternetUI, like properties and methods.

[neoxeo]

Thank a lot for your help.

With your code I have find that I don't analyze the last AlternetUI DLL. So result I waited for wasn(t the good.

My code works fine, so now I can get Properties, Methods and Events like that :

I will post tomorrow, new Excel file to compare Events between Window.Forms and AlternetUI

Many thanks! Our current goal is to add enough props and methods so Alternet.Editor worked fine in Alterent.UI. After that we will move forward to other props and methods.

[neoxeo]

Perfect ! Alternet.Editor will be a fantastic bonus to help user to create/migrate applications. And with all methods, properties and event you add and you will add, migration will be easier. I'm so happy 😊

Thanks a lot
