Hi: I have not downloaded VS 2015 yet. I am building a large, complex project using Visual Studio Community Edition 2013 and will install VS 2015 after some time to let all the buggs get rolled out of it if any. The usual types of interfaces most financial analysts use is an excel style layout which is controlled usually by tabbed views to display the diferent content. This project is not for phones or apps but a true desktop project for standard or large displays. How did you find out that the usual WinForms controls were no longer supported in VS 2015 in favor of the xaml controls? I hadent heard they were being deprecated from any of the programmers using VS 2015 but I never thought to ask them that specifically. As for making the Winforms controls more accessible I want: A Master Detail layout with a Listbox at the top: A couple or 3 controls under it that get dynamically loaded from a DataBase and from the data held in the DataTable bound to the listbox with many sortable columns. I am thinking that the groups of controls perhaps 3 textboxes or some type of grid and a couple of textboxes will be in each view and each view will have its own MenuBar with various selections including sorts that will sort the MasterListbox based on the columns related to that particular view. If I use a grid control inside the view as one of the controls it would have perhaps 7 columns and about 30 rows along with each column having a heading and each row having a heading and then the 2 textboxes holding notes and related metrix for each ticker as it is arrowed over in the master listbox. I tried WindowEyes with a TabbedDocument some time ago and opted for using a text box with lines of details in it as it read very well with WindowEyes but now that I am thinking that this puppy may some day get published I am considering a more modern layout as described above. I will likely go ahead with the design using a tabbed document initially and perhaps you can help me set it up to be accessible with WindowEyes so navigation works smoothly through the list, the view with its MenuBar and dropdown MenuItems and the Grid with its columns and rows and the tab list of available views. My problem before was that tabbing around or arrowing I had trouble getting into the tab list once in the view content with the textboxes and, in this case the Grid which get dynamically updated. Perhaps a hot key to jump to the tab list from inside the view content and some way to read that I am in the tab list would work but I am not sure how to setup a hot key to jump focus to the tab list - but I havent looked at it in a long time now. How have you handle navigation of TabbedDocuments in your projects? Rick USA
