I am working on toolbar of word processor. Usually when we click on any button of toolbar it provides us information of what this option does.
How can I add this feature in my application?
Based on the limited info provided, it sounds like you are looking to add the Tooltip Class.
Adding this to you winforms project allows you to add a text that will appear over the button/object when hovered on.
In visual studio you can add it from the Toolbox:
In you application it would appear like this:

I am used to program having the file browser on the left of the code and the outline on the right. However, in Visual Studio Code it seems that I can only have both things on the same side. Is there any way to have them in different sides (like in the image, that comes from eclipse)?
Thanks,
DMR
Coming to Stable v1.64, see Release Notes: Side Panel so no need for the experimental settings.
Note that this second Side Bar is currently known as the Side Panel.
You can drag various views into the Side Panel like the Outline or SCM views. I would expect that more will be added later.
Demos:
This icon on the upper right was recently: it is a Layout Control icon.
Customize Layout Control
With all these new layout options, we have been exploring ways to
better expose layout configuration for discoverability and ease of
use. That's why you might notice a new experimental layout control in
your title bar. Note this only appears if your window.titleBarStyle
setting is custom and workbench.experimental.layoutControl.enabled
is set to true. The enablement is controlled by an experiment, but if
you want to enable it manually, you can do so in the Settings editor.
The contents of the menu are still being worked on, but currently you
should see the ability to toggle the Side Bar, Panel, and Side Panel.
Additionally, you will see an entry for a new command Customize
Layout. This new command triggers a new interactive quick pick
experience allowing you to control all aspects of layout configuration
in one place.
----------- With v1.65:
we are adding some options for everyone to try out with the setting
workbench.experimental.layoutControl.type. This setting has the
following options:
Menu: This is the previous behavior with a single button that opens a
menu.
Toggles: This is a new option which shows three buttons to toggle the
panel, side bar, and side panel.
Both: This is a new option which shows the toggles followed by the
menu button which still allows you to fairly quickly access the
customize layout quick pick.
I need to add the control like Microsoft excel having to change the Alignment. Attached the image the below to show what i need to know whether the Devexpress or Microsoft already having any control related to this ???
Please share your suggestion on this.
Thanks in Advance!!!
DevExpress have tons of controls and it seems you are talking about the MS Word text editing. If so, and you are a first-time user of DXRichEditControl, you can refer to the following tutorial that describes how to start with it and create all the UI buttons related to the DXRichEdit' actions:
Provide a Ribbon UI for a Rich Text Editor
Provide a Bar UI for a Rich Text Editor
I need to customize wpf calendar header- Month title, Day header etc.
The extra text can be added on calendar title, and its day title can also modified.
I have tried by referring this. The older version of WPF toolkit is used in it, and it is not available in newer one. It is integrated with WPF itself.
So, the day title header is not displayed over there.
I am using .Net 4.0, and Visual Studio 2010 for development. I am not using any other designer software like Blend.
Please let me know your ideas to achieve this.
Thanks in Advance,

It sounds as though you need to create a custom control template. How you do this depends on what tools you have available to you. If you have a version of Blend that handles WPF (see here for a link to one that you can download because it's a preview version) you can create a control template from the default template.
In Blend the process is as follows:
add a Calendar control using the designer,
right click and select Edit Template | Edit a Copy...',
choose where to create the new style (best to add a resource dictionary),
do the same again to create a tepmplate for the CalendarItem that contains the visuals for the Calendar,
make the desired changes to the template using the designer, and finally
click on the word [Calendar] in the breadcrumb below the title bar to return to the normal design mode.
If you don't want to install Blend, you can use the sample template for the WPF calendar from the MSDN site instead.
I need a toolbar button similiar to the "New Project" button in the standard Visual Studio toolbar. When clicked, it pops up a dialog. However, it also has a small little down-arrow next to the icon graphic that, when clicked, expands a context menu with more options.
Is there a standard control available with this functionality?
I don't think there's built in functionality for a SplitButton in WPF currently. Here's another thread that may help you out though:
WPF SplitButton?
You could combine a couple of controls together to make one fairly quickly. Might as well make a new UserContol out of it that can be re-used throughout your app as well.
Also, a quick search on WPF SplitButton will return a lot of examples on how to make one or you could get one off of CodeProject or CodePlex (though I'm not sure if they'll come with a image property automatically).
I'm trying to build a simple application to test the idea of having multiple forms in one application. For example, in Visual Studio, you have the IDE - design area, and on the right hand side, you have a form called Properties and Solution Explorer
When you click on something in the design area, i.e. Textbox, on the right hand side, the properties for that object selected automatically changes.
I do not want to add the PropertyGrid ontop of the same form where the objects are, it must be independant on its own.
My ultimate goal is to have a 3D viewer/WPF and on the right hand side, a form. When you click in the 3D viewer on a line, or point, the selected object's properties must be displayed in the PropertyGrid
Second to that, I want to be able to dock the forms, or reset to default layout.
Screesnhot:
(properties should be docked inside the main form - not like screenshot)
Example: http://dan.virgesystems.com/images/CPVimage.JPG (Dead Link)
If you decide to do it using WinForms, there's a good C# opensource library for VS-style docking: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dockpanelsuite/
Here's a screenshot of an application using it: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Image:Kosmos.2.0.png
Try encapsulating your viewer and form into user controls. You can use the splitter control or panels to layout the container form as you please. Communication between the user controls can be done through events or direct references.
