HandyControl is a UI control library for WPF (.NET) offering a set of simple, commonly used custom controls and styles written in C# and XAML. It is distributed via NuGet and includes controls like color pickers, property grids, flip clocks, and layout panels.

Use cases

• build modern-looking WPF desktop apps with styled controls
• add a color picker to a C# WPF application
• use a property grid control in a .NET desktop app
• apply consistent XAML themes and styles across a WPF project
• find WPF alternatives for common UI controls like relative panel or GIF display

When to choose

• you are building a Windows desktop app with WPF in C#
• you want ready-made, MIT-licensed WPF controls without building them from scratch
• you need a lightweight UI toolkit that integrates via NuGet into existing .NET projects

When to avoid

• you are targeting cross-platform GUIs outside WPF (e.g., Avalonia, MAUI, web)
• you need WinForms or UWP controls rather than WPF
• your project is not on the .NET platform
