I admit - it was only because I just spent 6 (long, torturous, baldness producing, "why did they do THAT!") months converting Visual FoxPro apps to C#

What's so clever about it?
You got a dictionary, you do a lookup on a soundex and present the top 1 as "did you mean..". It's not like it is something new.

... because who pays attention to the praise/rant threads for a tool they're not using at the time? (Not me obviously.)
Anyway I need something that's touch friendly (our target's a tablet, but not Android or iOS or W10 apps due to concerns about hardware interfacing and not suitable for a general app store + sideloading being a pita). My immediate needs are for:
0) Configurable keyboard and numberpads - the customer doesn't want to use the generic windows onscreen keyboard because of extraneous keys around the edge needed for Windows but not their app.
1) A grid control with better sizing than the default MS one: Specifically being able to resize with larger fonts as stretched horizontally instead of wider lines without nuking the vertical scrollbar. I'll also need something like the expanded detail view in the MS one, or support for heterogeneous rows that I can use to add optional additional metadata below some items.
2) A textblock that would scale the text and insert line breaks to best fill the available space inside buttons would be nice as well although I'm pretty sure I could build this from scratch if I needed to.
3) A pricing model that's either FOSS, flat rate, or pay per developer. I've been told if the price is reasonable getting my new employer to pay shouldn't be a problem, the customer has stated they don't want something that's pay per install even if only a few dollars. If paid a trial/demo mode version of the library would probably be helpful if paid here as well so the customer could at least build and fiddle with code drops locally.
4) Good support from the developer and source access without breaking the bank are desirable on my end.
5) I also want a puppy, or a pony, or maybe a unicorn. Pretty please mommy. I know it's not too much to ask. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I've used Telerik WPF control before and they are decent.
Syncfusion has a community version that might suit you.

You could post the requirement on the Telerik support forum and get an answer from a techie rather than a sales person.
We use telerik but are not very adventurous with it so I can't really recommend if for the stuff you are asking for.

Yeah. I think that's what makes it so watchable.

Really, I was under the impression that the Holodeck was for Patrick Stewart to show off his acting skills by being practically every Shakespearean character. Also to give the writers a 'place' to have non-sensible story lines...

Not a Star Trek fan, or general sci-fi (the best predictor of up & coming tech)?

I kind of liked Star Trek as a child, but find it, and the many spin offs, uninspiring now. The three Star Wars films are still very watchable though.

Now Three star wars films you speak I can think of I was under impression there was only two.

There are star wars films?!

But, there is only one India Jones movie...

Just barely. I was really glad when it was over after we arrived at 'killer teddy bear' level.
