WinForms Ribbon Control The new Office universal style

The new version contains a new "office Universal" style, which was first introduced into the Microsoft Office Universal application by the Ribbon UI. This style features a minimalist user interface, and no page groups are available. The application Menu button that is used to invoke the Backstage view is now displayed as a normal page.

WinForms Layout Control The new table layout

In the new version, we introduced a new layout style that allows projects to span a single table. You can specify the location of rows and columns, the span values, and specific settings in other tables.

supports data annotation properties

The DevExpress WinForms data layout control now supports the data annotation property applied to the binding object. When you build a layout, the data layout control uses these properties to provide a display name for the layout project, to define the project order, to include the scheduled items in the general and label groups, to specify the read-only state for the control, to assign a mask to the data editor, and so on.

You can now display the buttons within the group header and allow the end user to customize the action.
