FlowchartX 4.7 beta

FlowChartX version 4.7 adds the following new features:

Glass and Aero effects
The control can apply Glass and Aero visual effects to nodes, via the AddGlassEffect and AddAeroEffect methods provided by Box, Table and Flowchart classes. Effects are available only in GDI+ mode.

AddGlassEffect can apply one of four glass reflection -like effects:

Code
Select All
HRESULT AddGlassEffect(
    [in] enum GlassEffectType effectType,
    [in] OLE_COLOR glowColor,
    [in] OLE_COLOR reflectionColor,
    [in] VARIANT_BOOL usePenAsGlow); 



Glass


AddAeroEffect applies semi-transparency to nodes and emphasizes their outline by adding a shade and an inner stroke:

Code
Select All
HRESULT AddAeroEffect(
    [in] float opacity,
    [in] OLE_COLOR shadeColor,
    [in] OLE_COLOR innerOutlineColor); 



Aero


If the methods are called on a Flowchart instance, they affect all nodes in that flowchart.

Miscellaneous
~ Specify padding distance between selected items and the selection frame via SelectionOptions.FramePadding;
~ SelectionOptions.ShowItemHandles specifies whether to show handles of individual items in multiple selection;
~ The Arrow.Segments property can now be set regardless of whether auto-routing is enabled or the arrow is a self-loop;
~ When an arrow becomes a self-loop with a Table as target node, its end stay connected to the table's rows and the arrow shape is set to an orthogonal sequence of segments connecting the rows;
~ SetSelfLoopShape event is now raised to let you set custom shape for self-loop arrows;

If anyone is interested in trying the beta version, please download this archive containing 32 and 64-bit builds of the control:

Hello Stoyo

Looks nice, but may I suggest you to change the dll version to 4.7.0.0 so I can try it Roll Eyes

Hi,

You can try it by calling regsvr32 /u for your current dll and then registering the new one.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
