We have released MindFusion Java Pack 2024.R1. It contains the following new features and improvements:

MindFusion.Diagramming

Support for custom in-place edit controls
Handle the createEditControl event to display a custom Java Swing component for users to edit item's content. This event is raised when entering in-place editing mode, either interactively by users or by calling the beginEdit method. You could handle the event to return a composite control for editing many of the item's properties, and not only text. When leaving in-place editing mode, the Diagram raises destroyEditControl to let you copy to the item any values entered by the user and close the custom editor.

Drag-and-drop improvements
The control now displays a ghost image of nodes dragged from NodeListView. Set the DragIndicatorOpacity property to set the image opacity.
Set HorizontalDropAlignment and VerticalDropAlignment to specify placement of dropped node relative to mouse pointer.

Miscellaneous

• The Opacity property lets you create translucent DiagramItem by applying it to the alpha channel of all colors in the item.
• Improved in-place editing of ItemLabels.
• nodeHovered and linkHovered events raised when the mouse pointer rests over items for HoverDelay milliseconds.
• TableNode copy constructor fixes.
• Set the AutoDeleteLinks property to false to prevent deleting links along with a node they connect, and disconnect the links instead.

MindFusion.Spreadsheet

• The PasteToMerged property lets you specify how the control handles pasting data into merged cells.
• Formula bar preserves original text when evaluation is disabled.
• Set the ShowLeadingApostrophes property to stop hiding escaping leading apostrophe (used to treat remaining cell content as text).
• The CellIndex class can be used to convert between integer column / row and string representation of a cell address.
• A new get overload of CellCollection accepts CellIndex as parameter.
• OldValue, CurrentColumn and CurrentRow properties of IExpressionEvaluatorContext provide more contextual information for custom function evaluation.
• The cancelDrag method lets you stop current user interaction.
• Fixed incorrect cached state of modifier keys when the control loses keyboard focus.

MindFusion.Scheduling

• loadFromXml overload of LocalizationInfo allow loading from java.io.InputStream.

MindFusion Virtual Keyboard

• drawBackground and drawFrame methods added to KeyTemplate class.
• fix for Content values not loading from layout XML files.
