MindFusion Pack for WinForms 2014.R3 has been released. It adds the following new features:

MindFusion.Diagramming

Export Visio 2013 files
The Visio2013Exporter class can export the contents of Diagram and DiagramDocument objects to Visio 2013 VSDX files. In order to use it, add a reference to the MindFusion.Diagramming.Export.Visio.dll assembly. Similarly to the VDX format exporter, Visio2013Exporter relies on a template file, called Visio2013.vxt, containing some boilerplate Visio XML code. The template must be either located in same folder as the application assemblies, or its path must be specified via the TemplatePath property. At this time the exporter supports shapes from Visio basic and flowchart stencils.

Visio2013Importer improvements

• The importer now supports Visio group shapes. Child shapes in groups are no longer lost when importing, and their corresponding diagram nodes are attached to the corresponding group node.
• Visio NURBS curves are now imported as Bezier-style links.
• Fix for importing connectors with applied rotation transform.
• Shapes with a ‘hidden’ attribute in master definition are now imported as invisible items.

Headers and footers in PDF
PdfExporter can now add headers and footers to exported pages. To specify their contents and font, set the HeaderFormat, HeaderFont, FooterFormat and FooterFont properties. Adding a %P placeholder to HeaderFormat or FooterFormat will render the current page number at its position.

Miscellaneous

• SVG renderer now honors the SmoothingMode property value and anti-aliasing in SVG drawings can be disabled.

MindFusion.Scheduling

New Holiday providers
Four new holiday providers have been added to the MindFusion.HolidayProviders.dll assembly, namely FranceHolidayProvider, GermanyHolidayProvider, RussiaHolidayProvider, and UKHolidayProvider.

Miscellaneous
New Drawing event which enables custom drawing of calendar element before their default rendering.
Improved support for partial databinding.

MindFusion.Spreadsheet

Export to XLSX (Office Open XML) format
The new ExcelExporter class can be used to export MindFusion.Spreadsheet Workbook objects to Excel. To export a workbook to XLSX, create an instance of the ExcelExporter class and call its Export method, passing the Workbook object as parameter.

Export to ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) format
The new CalcExporter class can be used to export MindFusion.Spreadsheet Workbook objects to the OpenDocument format. To export a workbook, create an instance of the CalcExporter class and call its Export method, passing the Workbook object as parameter.

Export to XHTML and MHTML format
The new HtmlExporter and MhtmlExporter classes can be used to export MindFusion.Spreadsheet Workbook objects to (X)HTML and MHTML files. To export a workbook, create an instance of the respective exporter class and call its Export method, passing the Workbook object as parameter.

Moving cell ranges
Cells and cell ranges can be moved programmatically and interactively. To move a cell range programmatically, call one of the MoveTo overloads of a CellRange object representing the range and specify the destination. To move a range interactively, select the range, click near the the end of the selection rectangle and drag the rectangle to the desired location. The interactive movement can be disabled through the AllowMoveCells property of the WorkbookView class.

Moving rows and column
Columns and rows can be moved programmatically and interactively. To move a column/row programmatically, call one of the Move overloads of the ColumnCollection or RowCollection classes respectively, and specify the column/row to move and the desired location. To move columns or rows interactively, select the columns or rows entirely, click on any of the selected column or row headers and drag. The interactive movement can be disabled through the AllowMoveHeaders property of the WorkbookView class. Note that more than one column or row can be moved at a time.

Find and replace
The workbook provides a set of methods for searching and replacing of texts. To search texts, use the Find and FindAll methods. The former searches for the first cell containing a given text, the later returns all cells matching the criteria. To replace texts, use the Replace and ReplaceAll methods. The new FindReplaceForm class (contained in the MindFusion.Spreadsheet.WinForms.StandardForms.dll assembly) can be used to facilitate search and replace operations inside a workbook.

Improved in-place editing
In-place formula editing has been extended with automatic literal, string, cell and cell range coloring and context-sensitive tooltip information for functions. The information for custom functions can be provided through the new ExtendedInformationProvider property of the Workbook class. The image below illustrates the new in-place edit box.

Miscellaneous

• The parameters of the Export methods of some exporters have been reordered to improve consistency. Now the Worksheet/Workbook being exported is always the first argument.
• The HyperlinkForm constructors now require an addition argument of type Workbook.
• New PageOrientation property added to the PdfExporter class.

MindFusion.UI

DockControl
Layout serialization has been added to the DockControl.
