MinoriEditorStudio

What is this

MinoriEditorShell is a IDE framework designed specifically for building multi document editor applications with MvvmCross. It builds on some excellent libraries:

• AvalonDock
• MvvmCross

MinoriEditorStudio ships with three themes: a Blue theme(Default), a Light theme, and a Dark theme.

Continuous builds

We use DevOps to build MinoriEditorShell after every pull request to the master branch.

What does it do?

MinoriEditorShell allows you to build your WPF application by composing separate modules. This provides a nice way of separating out the code for each part of your application.

Getting Started

Modules used

• MinoriEditorShell
• MinoriEditorShell.Ribbon
• MinoriEditorShell.VirtualCanvas

Acknowledgements

• Many of the original ideas, and much of the early code came from Tim Jones, creator of the Gemini framework. I have extended and modified his code to integrate better with MvvmCore, and AvalonDock 2.0, which natively supports MVVM-style binding.

MinoriEditorStudio is not the only WPF framework for building IDE-like applications. Here are some others:

• Gemini - Basis of this project
• SoapBox Core - source here, but I think this project might be dead.
• Wide - looks promising, and has a CodeProject article.
• Wider - Based on project wide with update Prism and Fluent.Ribbon
