eXEditors (officially styled as eXEditors Library) is a commercial component package developed by Exontrol that provides a collection of 16 versatile data editing user interface (UI) controls. It is primarily used by software developers to build advanced, highly interactive data-entry forms and application interfaces.

The package is available in both COM/ActiveX and .NET Assembly formats, making it compatible with a wide range of development languages like C#, VB.NET, C++, Microsoft Access, PowerBuilder, and Delphi. Key Features Across All Editors

Customizable Buttons: Every editor in the library allows developers to add an unlimited number of custom buttons to either the left or right side of the input field. These buttons can hold icons, pictures, and independent tooltips.

Input Masking: Most of the editors are mask-based. This ensures precision and strict validation when users enter structured data (such as phone numbers, dates, or serial codes).

Checkboxes: Each control supports an optional three-state checkbox built right into the interface. The 16 UI Controls Included

The library groups the following specific data-entry controls into a single package:

Standard Input: Includes Edit (single-line text) and Memo (multi-line text).

Masked & Action Input: Includes Mask (structured data formats) and Button (a text area with an attached action trigger).

Selection Lists: Includes DropDown (editable drop-down list), DropDownList (rigid predefined list selection), and PickEdit.

Multi-Selection: Includes CheckList, a drop-down menu where every selectable option features its own checkbox.

Numerical & Progress: Includes Spin (up/down counter buttons) and ProgressBar (visual status or value loader).

Pickers: Includes Date (drop-down calendar), Color (color grid/palette tab selector), ColorList (predefined color rows), and Font (drop-down font list featuring live typography previews).

Web & Media: Includes LinkEdit (hyperlink format handler) and Picture (container for rendering images or OLE objects). Integration and Ecosystem

The package is frequently paired with other UI suites on the Exontrol Main Platform. For instance, it fully integrates with exRecord, a container component that organizes these exact editors into an editable data form bound directly to database tables (ADO/DAO).

Note: If you are looking for a standalone web-based text formatting tool instead, you might be thinking of Xeditor—a separate web-based XML authoring system used by technical writers.
