MindFusion is pleased to announce today a new release of its WinForms pack. The Pack includes five great programming components that provide each WinForms application with a complete set of features for creating stunning
- diagrams,
- charts,
- schedules,
- reports
- and gauges.
Each of the controls offers various useful properties, methods and events that provide functionality, which goes far beyond the capabilities of a standard programming component of the type. Below we list the most important add-ons in the new version:
|
MindFusion.Diagramming
The new features make building a diagram even more enjoyable, faster and easier. Link auto-snapping feature connects your arrows to the nearest node even before the mouse has reached it. Set the AutoSnapLinks property to 'true' to enable the feature and use AutoSnapDistance to specify the distance at which links will snap to the nearest node.
CompositeNodes are now automatically serialized when saving in binary or XML format. You can even serialize custom components by overriding SaveTo, LoadFrom, SaveToXml, LoadFromXml methods of ComponentBase. Among the other notable new features is the GetNearestNode method that returns the node that is closest to the specified point. The NodeClicked and LinkClicked events are raised for items shown in DiagramView3D.
The WmfExporter now renders the LaneGrid in the exported WMF drawing.

all exporters are now unified and its easier than ever to use them.
The built-in charts - pie, line, bar and radar - have also many new properties.
