This roadmap communicates priorities for evolving and extending the scope of WinForms for .NET Core and .NET 5 projects.
This repository is a community effort and we welcome community feedback on our plans. The best way to give your feedback is to open an issue in this repo.
We also invite contributions. The up-for-grabs issues on GitHub are a good place to start.
Our main effort is focused on enabling full experience for WinForms designer for .NET Core projects. This involves adding the remaining controls and features and improving stability and performance for the designer.
Besides the designer work, here is the list of improvements we are planning to work on in the future.
Including support for standard WCAG2.1, such as enabling tooltips for controls on Tab (#2726), etc.
Enabling WinForms applications to run efficiently with ARM processors.
- Fix existing scaling bugs in Per Monitor DPI aware applications
- Enable all controls to support Per Monitor V2 mode
- Add a new "clean" way of calculating location/size information in PMA mode
Establish a base line and improve runtime and designer performance.
Add testing infrastructure and improve test coverage.
We also are gathering feedback regarding what other features you'd like to see in WinForms. Please let us know if any of those or something else would be useful for your applications. You an create a feature request in this repo or vote for an existing one.
such as Task Dialog, Ribbon Control, Balloons, SearchBox, improvements around ListView, etc.
Enable dark theme, etc.
