What problem does it solve?

Building custom, reusable MewUI controls is error-prone without clear patterns for measuring, arranging, rendering, and input handling. This skill provides a guided approach to implement robust controls that integrate with the MewUI layout system and input model.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Base patterns for Control, ContentControl, and Panel to model interactive UI.
• Comprehensive input handling for mouse and keyboard with proper focus and hit-testing.
• Binding and fluent extension utilities to compose complex controls and reuse behavior.
• Use Case: Create a draggable custom button that responds to mouse, keyboard, and binding sources across a complex UI.

Quick Start

Create a new MyCustomControl derived from Control and implement MeasureContent, OnRender, and input handlers to render and interact inside a host window.
