Actipro Universal Windows Controls 22.1.0365 (Smart UI Control Suite For UWP Developers) Latest 2026

Summary

Actipro Universal Windows Controls v22.1.0365 is a commercial UI control suite for building native Windows apps. It includes perpetual licenses and features for UWP (Universal Windows Platform) application development. The bundle contains specialized editors, parsing tools, charting utilities, docking windows, and syntax highlighting code editors. Version 22.1.0365 is a maintenance release. It fixes specific bugs in SyntaxEditor and .NET Languages Add-on while maintaining the robust feature set of the suite. Developers use Actipro controls to build professional Windows applications faster. Instead of building complex UI components from scratch, you use ready-made, tested, and polished controls.

Every UWP developer faces the same challenge. You need to build a professional application. Users expect a polished interface. They expect familiar interactions. They expect performance. Building these components from scratch is time-consuming. A syntax-highlighting code editor takes months to develop properly. A docking window system requires complex layout logic. Charting controls demand sophisticated rendering. Actipro Universal Windows Controls solves this challenge. You get a complete library of tested, reliable controls. You focus on your application logic. The controls handle the UI. The result is a professional application delivered faster.

Professional Code Editing For Your Applications

SyntaxEditor is a syntax-highlighting code editor control and parsing suite. It is one of the flagship components in the Actipro suite. Developers use it to build applications that require code editing. Examples include IDEs, query builders, script editors, and configuration tools. SyntaxEditor supports multiple languages including C#, VB, Python, and others. It includes IntelliPrompt for auto-completion and parameter info.

It supports syntax highlighting, code folding, line numbering, and search. The control is highly customizable. You can define your own syntax highlighting rules. You can create custom IntelliPrompt providers. The parsing suite handles grammar definition and AST generation. For applications that need code editing, SyntaxEditor is a complete solution.

IDE-Style Window Management

Docking and MDI (Multiple Document Interface) is another core component of the Actipro suite. It provides tool windows and a document interface similar to popular IDEs like Visual Studio. Users can drag, dock, float, and hide tool windows. The layout persists across sessions. This component is essential for complex applications. IDEs, design tools, and data analysis applications benefit from this functionality. The docking system is highly customizable. You can define tool windows with specific content. You can control docking positions and behaviors. The MDI system manages document windows with tabs, pinning, and grouping. The result is a professional, familiar interface that users appreciate.

Editors, Charts, And Grids 

The Actipro suite includes a wide range of specialized controls beyond SyntaxEditor and Docking. The Editors component provides masked and part-based edit controls. Masked edit controls restrict user input to specific formats. You can create date pickers with part-based selection for year, month, and day. You can create time span pickers, color pickers, and GUID editors. The Charts component provides quantitative data visualizers. You can render line charts, stacked area charts, and bar charts.

Charts support animation and interactivity. The Grids component includes a PropertyGrid for editing object properties and a TreeListBox/TreeListView for hierarchical data. Micro Charts are small charts, also called sparklines, designed for compact data visualization. Views include unique controls and panels that support fluid animated item layout. Bar Codes provide vector-based 2D and linear bar code generation.

The 22.1.0365 Maintenance Release 

Version 22.1.0365 is a maintenance release. It fixes specific issues in SyntaxEditor and the .NET Languages Add-on. In SyntaxEditor, there was an issue where moving the caret to a new view line while IntelliPrompt parameter info was displayed would not reposition the popup. This is fixed. In the .NET Languages Add-on, the VB grammar now supports a first optional argument in an argument list. An issue with the assembly repository cache mechanism not working properly is fixed. An issue that could occur when loading .NET 8 assemblies with reflection is fixed. In the Python Language Add-on, an issue where the package repository cache mechanism was not working properly is fixed. These fixes improve stability and reliability.

Real Applications Built With Actipro Controls

Developers use Actipro Universal Windows Controls in a wide range of applications. Enterprise software companies build line-of-business applications with custom editors and docking interfaces. Independent software vendors build code editors and query tools with SyntaxEditor. Data analytics companies build dashboards with the Charts and Micro Charts components. Industrial automation companies build HMI applications with the Gauges and Editors components. The controls are used in industries like finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation. The consistent theming ensures applications look native and professional. The controls integrate seamlessly with native UWP themes.

Licensing, Pricing, And Evaluation Options

Actipro Universal Windows Controls offers flexible licensing options. The products are available under perpetual licenses. This means you pay once and own the license forever. Licenses are per developer. When your app’s development team is licensed, you can distribute your application using royalty-free UI controls to anyone.

For pricing, you can visit the Actipro Pricing page. The page helps calculate the licensing to meet your needs. For technical questions during evaluation, support is available.

How Actipro Controls Compare To Other UWP Solutions

Several options exist for UWP UI controls. The built-in UWP controls are free but limited. You spend time building complex components. Third-party suites offer more functionality. Actipro stands out for several reasons. The depth of SyntaxEditor is unmatched. Few suites offer a complete parsing suite. The docking and MDI solution is mature and stable. The consistent theme across all controls is professional. The availability of source code under the Blueprint license is valuable for developers who need full control. The maintenance release history shows active development and support. The price is competitive with other commercial UI suites. When you need professional, reliable, and complete UI controls for UWP, Actipro is a strong choice.
