What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of manually implementing consistent, feature-rich input controls for WPF applications, eliminating guesswork around correct DevExpress APIs, import paths, and binding patterns when using AI coding assistants to generate DevExpress code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive editor coverage: Includes all DevExpress WPF Data Editors (text, numeric, date/time, lookup, combo, image, color, visualization controls) plus their in-place variants for GridControl and PropertyGrid.
  • Operational best practices: Provides ready-to-use patterns for two-way EditValue binding, masked input configuration, StyleSettings operation mode switching, custom button integration, and input validation.
  • Real-world use case: A developer building a customer registration form can use this Skill to quickly add a masked phone number TextEdit, a token ComboBoxEdit for multi-select country selection, and an in-place SpinEdit for a grid column, with correct XAML and ViewModel code that adheres to DevExpress best practices.

Quick Start

Request the AI to add a masked TextEdit for US phone number input to your WPF form, configured with a Simple mask pattern, two-way binding to a string ViewModel property, and the correct dxe: XAML namespace declaration.
