Six beautiful themes let the listboxes match the style of your application, whatever it may be. And the listboxes provides fully configurable drag-and-drop operations.ĭesigned from the ground up to take full advantage of Microsoft’s latest development platform, Xceed Ultimate ListBox for WPF and Xceed Ultimate ListBox for Silverlight use the same ground-breaking data retrieval engine as Xceed DataGrid for Silverlight, which provides automatic data virtualization with WCF Data Services / OData or WCF RIA Services. Xceed's listbox controls also support multiple views: a traditional vertical-scrolling list, as well as a horizontal version, and "path" views, which let you place items along any geometric path in the viewport, for example, creating a carousel view. And fluid smooth scrolling and insert/delete animations, which increase perceived performance by masking network lag when the listbox is waiting for slow data sources, help you create an incredible UI experience. A search box further assists end-users by giving them access to the filtering capabilities you define.

Powerful grouping with sticky header support helps make data easy to handle, and an innovative group navigation control that provides previous/next group commands and index entry buttons lets end-users go quickly to the item they're looking for. What's more, everything works automatically! Background (asynchronous) retrieval keeps the UI responsive, always. This greatly reduces the amount of data transferred, making remote data access feel fast like no other listbox can do. Xceed's listboxes deliver a background, remote data retrieval engine that only gets records currently visible in the viewport (data virtualization), or those immediately preceding or following the current ones (active/passive pre-fetching) so they are ready when the end-user scrolls.

But they give you so much more than that standard control! Xceed's listbox controls are the perfect drop-in replacements for the standard listbox that behave the way a listbox should! Thanks to their API, which is designed to allow it to fit in to any project using the stock Silverlight listbox, you'll be up and running in no time.
