Great news... Actipro UIStudio 2.0 is now available! UIStudio 2.0 adds a complete set of bar controls for Windows Forms, including dockable toolbars, menus, standalone toolbars, and statusbars.
Visit the bar control's web pages for some screenshots
and a complete feature list:

What separates our bar controls from the competition?
UIStudio uses a command / command link design model. This makes it easy to make centralized updates to a command that filters through to every instance of a related command link in the user interface. This also enables UIStudio to support complete run-time customization by the end-user, similar to the features found in Office or Visual Studio. We even provide the complete source for a full run-time Customize dialog!
The bar controls have an extremely robust keyboard shortcut model, which rivals Visual Studio. It supports single keys, chord keys, shortcuts that are valid in specific application modes, global mode shortcuts, and more.
The bar layout can be set up in the designer using a designer Customize dialog. It's as easy as defining commands and dragging them out to the bar controls, just like at run-time.
We include renderers for all the Office themes, VS 2005, VS 2002, and Windows.
These are just some of the bar controls' many features.
If you are an existing owner of UIStudio and would like to upgrade to 2.0, please log into Customer Relations. If you originally purchased an annual subscription and if it is still active, you can request a free upgrade to 2.0 on the Organization Purchases page in Customer Relations. Simply click the link on that page to request a free upgrade (not available if you are not eligible). We will validate upgrade requests at the end of each day.
If you do not own an annual subscription, you can purchase an upgrade or an upgrade and annual subscription for the amount of developer licenses you own from our secure purchase pages. This will allow you to be licensed for the 2.0 version. We do recommend purchase of an annual subscription since there are more versions planned for the next year.
Upgrades and annual subscriptions can be purchased here:

Once you purchase and download the full 2.0 version, follow the directions in the Licensing FAQ in our Customer Relations site.
If you have any other questions regarding purchasing upgrades, please contact our sales staff.
We've recently added a new licensing option for large organizations, the Enterprise license. Since the Site license only covers developers at a specific physical location, organizations with developers at more than one site will find the new Enterprise license option valuable because it covers all developers in the organization, regardless of their physical location.
Were you aware that we now offer a Blueprint license for our Site and Enterprise license customers? The Blueprint license contains the source code for the product and is currently available for UIStudio and Wizard. Contact our sales staff for more information.
Development on SyntaxEditor 4.0 is continuing and we've already added a lot of new functionality that we didn't have in earlier versions. We're currently adding virtual space and block selection features. Jump over to our SyntaxEditor Support Forums every once and a while, where you can provide some feedback on version 4.0 ideas we throw out.
If you are a SyntaxEditor 3.1 customer, make sure you download the latest free maintenance release because we added full support for a user margin.
In an effort to keep our customers better informed of new product releases, we've created an RSS newsfeed with all product release announcement news.
Entries are made for each new major product release as well as maintenance releases. Other important news may be included as well.
More information about the newsfeed is available on this page:

Thank you for your support!
