This quick start familiarizes you with adding and displaying data to the InputPanel control using list. You begin with creating a WPF application in Visual Studio, adding the InputPanel control to it, creating a list of items, and binding it to InputPanel.

To create a simple WPF application for adding and displaying data in the InputPanel control, complete the following steps:

1. Setting up the application
2. Adding and displaying data in InputPanel

The following image shows a record displayed in the C1InputPanel control.

Setting up the application

1. Create a WPF project in Visual Studio.
2. Add the InputPanel control to the XAML designer and set the name of the control to 'InPanel'.
   Notice that along with C1.WPF.InputPanel, the following references automatically get added to the application.
   • C1.WPF
   • C1.WPF.DateTimeEditors

Adding and displaying data in InputPanel

1. Switch to the code view and add a class, Customer, to define data.
2. Add the following code to create an enumeration and add properties to the class.
   • Visual Basic
   • C#

   • Visual Basic

   Public Class Customer
      
       Public Property ID() As String
           Get
               Return m_ID
           End Get
           Set(value As String)
               m_ID = value
           End Set
       End Property
       Private m_ID As String
       Public Property Country() As String
           Get
               Return m_Country
           End Get

           Get
               Return m_Occupation
           End Get
           Set(value As Occupation)
               m_Occupation = value
           End Set
       End Property
       Private m_Occupation As Occupation
      
   
       Public Sub New(id As String, country _

   {
       public string ID { get; set; }
       public string Country { get; set; }
       public string Name { get; set; }
       public string Phone { get; set; }
       public int Salary { get; set; }
