BUILDING PALETTE

Anonymous
Not applicable
In our AutoCAD application written in C# we want to construct sophisticated palette with multiple collapsible sections, with the
native look and feel of AutoCAD palettes (e.g., the layer management palette, see the attachment).
 
We have created PaletteSets and added windows controls to them, but that doesn't result in a native AutoCAD look & feel.  We've looked at the .NET API, but don't see much explanation regarding how to use Palettes with PaletteSets, and what controls are available for the Palettes.  Are there Autodesk in-house or 3rd party libraries of controls?  If not, are the native AutoCAD controls available through the .NET API, and if so, can you provide any pointers on where & how to use them? Any tips, pointers, or (especially) tutorials for building AutoCAD palettes would be greatly appreciated.

have you looked at using a WPF User Control for a palette?

Thank you so much for the reply. Yes I am aware of WPF User control, just exploring through all the possibilities.
