PosLib

PosLib is a software library to save form / window positions for .NET applications (WinForms and WPF).

The positioning data is saved to a position.vnml file to directory %LOCALAPPDATA%\[application product name].

Features

  • Current version 1.0.1.1 (04.02.2018)

  • Customizable control property values can be saved, such as column width, e.g.
  • Full XML documentation including private or internal methods, properties, etc..
  • Sample application for both Windows forms and WPF are included.
  • Support for multiple “name” referencing in the order of Uid (WPF only), Name and Tag=Name=”controlName”
  • Reacts to screen setting change while the application is running, e.g. a monitor was disconnected
  • Reacts to form / window resize during run-time to prevent a placement to an invalid location
  • A form / window state (Minimized, Maximized, Normal) is saved

Requirements

  • A Microsoft® Windows® supporting .NET Framework v.4.5 (possibly downgreadable by modifying the source project settings)
  • LGPL v3 compatible application

Changes

  • v.1.0.1.0 (07.11.2017)
  • Fixed an error that caused a program using the library to crash if a secondary Windows Form was opened second time in the software
  • v.1.0.1.1 (04.02.2018)
  • Just a recompile, because an underlying library was updated
