How can I use the Actipro Controls?

[KirkKuykendall1]

Hi -

Looking through ArcGIS.Desktop.Shared.Wpf.dll, I see a lot of ActiPro namespaces.  

The evaluation version of ActiPro WPF Studio I've downloaded includes some good documentation.

Is there any Esri doc showing any additional steps needed to use Actipro controls in the Esri dlls?

Thanks, Kirk

ActiPro is the provider for the thirdparty UI controls that are used by ArcGIS Pro's internal UI framework.  The ActiPro utilized by ArcGIS Pro cannot be used for UI development in Pro extensions (add-ins, configurations), however, you can use your own licensed version of ActiPro for your UI controls to deployed in add-ins.  The Pro SDK includes some UI controls for use in extension development.  There will be more controls added in the near future, but currently the list of supported controls can be found here:
