We are pleased to announce new versions for two of MindFusion’s WPF components – Reporting and Scheduling. Below we list the new features and improvements in each of the controls.
New in Scheduling for WPF, V3.4
Interactive Recurrence Rescheduling
Recurrences can be rescheduled interactively by holding down the RescheduleRecurrenceKey while dragging a recurrent item. The control tries to preserve the current pattern of the recurrence when possible. Otherwise, you can modify the recurrence to accommodate to the new start and end times of the modified item. Interactive rescheduling is not registered in the undo history.
New Theme
A new built-in theme is available in the Scheduler control – the Light theme. It is available through the ThemeType enumeration.
