- Window Navigation/ Arrangement - Gives an option for the user to set their own setting for the window inside the WebDesktopManager such as giving an option to ShowInTaskBar for the specific window, or to set the WindowArrangement to Cascaded, TiledHorizontally or TiledVertically.
- ClickAndEdit - ClickAndEdit greatly enhances developer's productivity by simplifying the editing mechanism which takes advantage of Visual Studio 2005. With this feature, developers can simply click on an inactive Window object directly in the IDE. The clicked Window will then become an Active Window and you can start typing inside the editing region of the Active Window.
- Natively supporting ASP.NET 2.0 - DesktopManager as well as the entire WebDesktop.NET components are compiled on .NET Framework 2.0 and therefore it has utilized numerous new features available in ASP.NET 2.0 and C# 2.0 to deliver even higher performance, secure, scalable and reusable components.
- Highly customizable elements - Designs any popular styles for your WebDesktop, from Windows XP to MacOS Tiger appearance. Elements that are customizable including Frame, Window, Caption, CaptionButton, TaskBar, TaskBarButton, Shortcut, and more. The DynamicStyle for some of the styles helps developers to easily define the interactive style for Normal, Over and Active in object model design -- not CSS coding!
- Shortcut System - The built-in shortcut system can be used to represent a module or application that runs on the top of DesktopManager. This is a powerful feature that developers would not miss! You can specify what action should be taken when the shortcut is opened.
- Shortcut Settings - DesktopManager offers numerous advanced settings for the Shorcut system. There are configurable AutoArrangement features which automatically arrange the icons from top to bottom, and move to 2nd column and so on when there are more icons.
- Desktop Management - Desktop is one of the elements that can not be separated from the DesktopManager entirely. It provides complete desktop management functions, such as the ability to save latest structure from client side or at server side, the ability to focus on the desktop and right click on it to display available actions, and much more.
- Window Management - Window is the atomic element of the Desktop, where a Desktop can contain multiple Windows. DesktopManager carefully implemented the Window to be easily manageable through built-in User Interface (through TaskBar Buttons) or via object-based codes.
- Window Features - DesktopManager offers complete windowing features similar to those we can find in today's popular Desktop. A Window can use its Default configuration or custom configuration to allow Minimizing, Maximizing/Restoring and Closing as well as Resizing for individual setting.
- TaskBar and TaskBarButton - DesktopManager is equipped with built-in TaskBar element which you can easily enable by setting TaskBarVisible property. The TaskBar is used as the placeholder where open Windows are shown. You can customize the left and right side of the TaskBar through LeftTemplate and RightTemplate.
- TaskBar Settings - With existing powerful features offered by the DesktopManager, the TaskBar can also be configured to use more advanced settings. Some significant setting is "Position", which is used to arrange where the TaskBar should be positioned in the Desktop; ShowWindows, WindowButtonSpacing and more.
- High performance and architecture - DesktopManager comes with a high performance architecture for Animation, Moving and Resizing functions. The architecture ensures users to have a complete peace of mind when interacting with the Desktop, Windows, Shortcuts and other DesktopManager elements. Animation can be easily configured by specifying the EnableAnimation property.
- Strong keyboard support - Strong keyboard support is one of Intersoft's renowned features which has been implemented extensively across all product lines. It is the key to successful web applications especially when connected to desktop such as Rich Internet Applications. The keyboard support in DesktopManager has been extensively implemented to work under Internet Explorer and Gecko-based browsers.
- Clientside constructable objects - The new breakthrough introduced in DesktopManager is not only about server side technologies and masterpiece in browsers API. The new WebUI collection including DesktopManager gives more extensive features and turns the Clientside Object architecture of WebUI.NET Framework into perfection.
- Extensive clientside events - Client side events offer great level of extensibility where developers can integrate their own algorithm or logic when specific events occur. DesktopManager offers up to 17 client events, from context menu, control initialize, shortcut select and create to complete window events such as creation, moved, destroyed, resized and more.
- ComplexImages BorderType - For higher level of customization, DesktopManager offers ComplexImages BorderType. The term "ComplexImages" is used in almost all WebDesktop.NET components to indicate that the rendering will use many images to draw up an element.
- IFrame Transparency and built-in Loader - These are two advanced features when Window is configured to use IFrame ContentMode. IFrameTransparency which is set to True by default enables the ContainerStyle of the Window to stay visible and ignores the background color of the loaded WebPage.
- Cinematic visual experiences - WebDesktopManager now comes with 8 visual effects that can be easily applied to your project. The visual effect allows the desktop manager to look more appealing and smoother especially when it is combined with Preloader feature. The visual effect can be applied in DesktopManager level or in each window level
- Built-in preloader for scripts and images - WebDesktop introduces its new feature which allows user to easily add "preloading" effect into the WebDesktopManager instance. The purpose is to make your application more interactive and informative while loading process is in progress. Hence, the user is aware with the current loading progress and the estimated finish time of the loading.
- Blocking user interactions in busy mode - WebDesktopManager now comes with built-in capability to set a WebDesktopWindow to busy mode programmatically. When it is on busy mode, the specified Window will be non responsive to the users, which means non clickable and cursor will be changed to HourGlass. It is very useful when performing lengthy operation and blocking user interactions while the actions are in progress.
- ContentMode - and the rest componetns in WebDesktop.NET introduced two kinds of Content Mode. The default is UseInlineContent which used the content defined in the template within the page itself and UseIFrame which will use IFrame as the content source. When configured to use IFrame, developers can easily pick which WebForm to be assigned into each Window by using ClickAndSelect feature supported in Visual Studio 2005.
