The OpenEdge Ultra Controls for .NET (Ultra Controls) include additional controls that can be used for developing OpenEdge GUI for .NET applications. These Ultra Controls are a set of supported Infragistics NetAdvantage Windows Forms controls that provide built-in features different from those provided by the Microsoft controls. These built-in features allow developers to create forms with sophisticated user interfaces primarily by setting a rich set of properties.
OpenEdge supplies samples that provide examples of using the Ultra Controls. They are found on the self-extracting Documentation and Samples file available on the OpenEdge download page of the Progress Software Download Center under the following relative directory paths:
