Documentation

HexControl is scrollable composite Windows Forms control. Control logic is divided into presentation logic, model, and some simple code to reflect model changes to presentation control (M-V pattern), skipping controller logic totally, because controller part (events, subscriptions, updates) will be taken totally by the .NET Framework.

Rendering

Rendering of the data is controlled by the rendering options you provide for the control. You can change grouping of the bytes by setting HexControl properties in Appearance section:

- BytesPerColumn
- ColumnPerRow

Screenshots

Alternatives

Alternative control is very ugly, so ugly that I couldn't place it on a main page. Feel the difference.
