Hello,
I'm new to WPF, and I'm searching for simple Infragistics WPF controls like Label, Button, TextBox, Checkbox, and so on.
I have found XamTextEditor and XamCheckEditor in the Infragistics.Windows.Editors namespace, but they are not listed on the internet under "ALL WPF CONTROLS" (http://es.infragistics.com/products/wpf/all-wpf-controls).
Why? Are they bad or obsolete?
Has Infragistics such simple controls, or shoud I use the MS controls from System.Windows.Controls?
Hello jabor,
Thank you for your post!
The Infragistics WPF control suite does not currently have an equivalent to a Button or Label, but you can find similar functionality to the TextBox or Checkbox in the XamTextEditor and the XamCheckEditor, respectively. The reason that they were not listed on the "All WPF Controls" site, is that they are primarily used as editors for the XamDataPresenter group of controls. They are in no way obsolete, though, and they can be used standalone if you wish to do so.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.

Hello Andrew,
Thank you for the quick reply.Are there other useful WPF controls, not showed on the site “All WPF Controls”?
It is really hard and time-consuming to get a first overview.It would be nice if all the controls would be listed on the site.It would be nice if there would be a direct link to the online reference of the control’s class.It would be nice if there would be a feature comparison to the standard controls
Thank you for your feedback!
While it is true that the links on that page do not list each and every WPF control in the Infragistics suite and the links are not direct links to the online reference of the control's class, there is a place that you can find these pieces of information. I would recommend that you take a look at the following link, which directs to the "Controls, Components, and Frameworks" page of our 2015.1 WPF Online Documentation: http://help.infragistics.com/doc/WPF/2015.1/CLR4.0/?page=Controls_Components_and_Frameworks.html. In there, you can see the full listing of the Infragistics WPF "Shared" and "WPF Specific" controls, along with the API documents and feature lists of each of the controls.

Thank you Andrew, this is the site I was looking for.
