The following video demonstrates how eXGraph adds graphical functionality to eXPivot:

The movie demonstrates how to display various types of charts based on the summarized data within the pivot control. The control can divide its area into four sections: one for applying aggregate functions to the pivot's cells, the pivot rows and columns that define the table structure, and the table section that can display either tabular data or graphical charts. The custom-view feature supports any type of custom controls. In this sample, the eXGraph is used to provide graphical features for eXPivot. The feature will be supported in the /COM, /NET, /WPF, and /JS versions as well.

The following video highlights an innovative feature designed to improve link visualization:

The following video demonstrates a new feature that enhances link visualization. It intelligently avoids obstacles such as elements, objects, and bars, ensuring a clear and unobstructed display. Additionally, overlapping links are distinguished by alternating colors and variable widths, improving clarity and making it easier to differentiate them visually. This feature will be available across all configurations (/JS, /COM, /NET, and /WPF) for the following components: eXSurface, eXSwimlane, eXG2antt, and eXG2Host.

The following movie illustrates how to insert, code and use any component using Delphi 12:

The video demonstrates how to insert, code, and utilize the exg2antt control within the RAD Studio 12 IDE. The process is similar for any other Exontrol components. If you are running the RAD Studio 12 IDE on a 64-bit Windows machine, please ensure you install the x64 version of the control. Otherwise, you will need to use the x86 (32-bit) version of the component.

The movie illustrates how the ExGantt/JS can manage and adjust resource usage:

For instance, when a task necessitates the allocation of particular resources, the target control can be configured to display detailed information about how these resources are being utilized. To ensure that the resource data remains consistent across different parts of the system, you can employ the PutRes method to synchronize the source control with the target control. This synchronization mechanism ensures that any modifications made in the source control--such as updates to resource data, allocation adjustments, or changes in status--are automatically reflected in the target control. Conversely, any alterations made in the target control will also be communicated back to the source control, maintaining an up-to-date and accurate representation of resource usage in both controls.

The following movie shows the first look of the newly eXGraph/COM component

The Exontrol's ExGraph component is a versatile tool designed to meet the diverse needs of data visualization. With support for numerous chart types, it empowers users to represent their data in various formats, from simple line charts to complex radar charts, all within the same view. In addition to its extensive charting capabilities, our graph control offers seamless printing and print preview functionality, ensuring that users can easily generate hard copies of their charts with precision and clarity. The exGraph library lets the user changes its visual appearance using skins, each one providing an additional visual experience that enhances viewing pleasure.

*Fixed: Prevent returning the event parameter by reference when accessing the EventParam(index) property. For example, PowerBuilder generates a 'Bad runtime function reference' error if an event parameter passed by reference is accessed through the EventParam(index) property
Jan27
ExList, 19.1.0.7
*Added: Prevents showing the thumb of the vertical scroll bar, if the ScrollBySingleLine property is True, and the control displays a single item (higher than the control's height)
*Fixed: Sometimes, the user can't scroll to the last item, if the last scrollable item is partially visible.
*Fixed: Can't move the column to be the last-visible column, while all columns are visible (ColumnAutoResize property on False)

Jan21
ExG2antt, 27.0.0.1
*NEW: Ability to specify the size to show the icons/images/check-boxes/radio-buttons within the control
*Added: ImageSize property specifies the size of control' icons/check-boxes/radio-buttons. By default, the ImageSize property is 16. The control's Images collection is cleared if the ImageSize property is changed, so it is recommended to set the ImageSize property before calling the Images method. The ImageSize property specifies the size to show the icons using the Column.HeaderImage, Items.CellImage or Items.CellImages property, the cell's check-box or radio-button using the Column.Def(exCellHasCheckBox), Column.Def(exCellHasRadioButton), Items.CellHasCheckBox, Items.CellHasRadioButton property, the default-size of <img>number[:width]</img> tags within ex-html captions, unless the width is not specified, the size of expand/collapse glyphs, sorting icon (ascending or descending), drop-down or close filter button. The ImageSize property defines the size (width/height) of the icons within the control's Images collection. For instance, if the ICO file to load includes different types the one closest with the size specified by ImageSize property is loaded by Images method. The ImageSize property does NOT change the height for the control's font(Font), sort-bar (SortBarHeight), header (HeaderHeight), item(DefaultItemHeight) or filter-bar(FilterBarHeight)
*Fixed: The Chart.LinkFromPoint(-1, -1) property returns the link under the cursor, even if the point does not directly hover over the lines composing the link, provided the link is either direct (exLinkShowRound property is 1) or straight (exLinkShowRound property is 2)

*Fixed: The Items.SelectItem property returns 1 instead of -1 / True value.
*Fixed: "The current version, supports ADO and DAO Recordsets. Make sure that the object is an ADO recordset, or a DAO recordset" error may occur if using ADO objects.
*Fixed: Prevents showing the column being dropped to the Columns floating-bar with a different background color ( ColumnsFloatBarVisible, Background(exCursorHoverColumn) )
ExGantt, 19.0.1.0
*Added: Serializes the visibility and position of the columns float bar using the Layout property. The "ColumnsFloatBar" and "ColumnsFloatBarRect" fields of Layout content save/load the visibility/position of the columns float bar. In other words, the Layout property serializes the columns float bar (visibility and position)
*Fixed: FormatAnchor(False) = vbNullString fails (vbNullString is a special VB constant that denotes a null string. The "" literal is an empty string)
*Fixed: The vertical-scroll bar is not shown/hidden once the column gets resized (Def(exCellSingleLine) property)
Jan15
ExComboBox, 18.0.0.5
*Fixed: Sometimes, the CellButtonClick event is not fired ( for instance, click outside the button's caption)
*Fixed: The Column.Def(exCellButtonAutoWidth) property has no effect for HTML buttons (Column.Def(exCellValueFormat) is exHTML)

ExCascadeTree, 17.0.0.4
*Fixed: Can't generate portrait orientation for PDF documents using the CopyTo method. For instance, the CopyTo("preview.pdf|210mm x 297mm") generates landscape instead portrait orentation.
*Fixed: The CopyTo() method for PDF documents, converts missing units for paper's size or margins to mm (previously points if no other unit is specified). For instance, CopyTo("preview.pdf|297 x 210mm") generates a PDF document of "8.27 x 4.13 in" instead of "11.69 x 8.27 in" (the mm is missing right after 297)
*Fixed: The control's list is not updated with new items once the Requery method of DataSource (ADO) is called
Jan13
ExRecord, 17.0.0.3
*Added: EditorOptionEnum.exSliderTickStyle option specifies the style to show the slider's ticks according with the EditorOptionEnum.exSliderTickFrequency option

Jan08
ExHTML, 22.0.0.3
*Added: The CTRL + R removes the current or selection formatting. The keys combination works if the AllowShortcutFormat property is True (similar with CTRL + B for bold, CTRL + I for italic, CTRL + U for underline and CTRL + S for strikeout)
*Fixed: The tolbar's dropdown-menu is not closed when the user presses ESC key while available shortcut-keys are visible. For instance, CTRL + J displays the line's alignment and pressing ESC does not close the drop down. 
*Fixed: The Enter key on a field of Edit type (such as ID or Options of the anchor item) resets field's content instead setting it as it is, on the control's default context-menu
ExPropertiesList, 23.0.1.0
*Added: The <solidline> and <dotline> HTML tags support color in RGB format using the <solidline RRGGBB> or <dotline RRGGBB> syntax, which indicates the color to show the solid or dotted line
*Fixed: The ColumnsAllowSizing property does not work if the HeaderAppearance property is 0
*Fixed: Can't resize the column's width to 0
Jan06
ExSuite/JS, 4.0
*NEW: Ability to display and arrange the links in a way that prevents overlapping with connected objects (including different colors) (exontrol.surface, exontrol.swimlane, exontrol.gantt)
*Added: exontrol.ShowLinksEnum.exPreventOverlap (0x100) flag adjusts the links to prevent them from overlapping the connected objects. The exPreventOverlap flag has effect only for rectangular links. The exPreventOverlap option calculates the path between A and B using the A* (A-star) pathfinding algorithm, which can be a time-consuming operation. (exontrol.surface, exontrol.swimlane, exontrol.gantt)
*Added: exontrol.ShowLinksEnum.exPreventOverlapMixt (0x80), When used with the exPreventOverlap flag, it ensures that links avoid overlapping with elements or obstacles, enabling their paths to include both rectangular and diagonal lines. When combined with the exChangeColorOnOverlap flag, overlapping links alternately adjust their width in addition to changing colors. The exPreventOverlapMixt flag must always be used alongside either the exPreventOverlap or exChangeColorOnOverlap flag. (exontrol.surface, exontrol.swimlane, exontrol.gantt)
*Added: exontrol.ShowLinksEnum.exChangeColorOnOverlap (0x200) flag changes the color of the links when two or more links overlap (exontrol.surface, exontrol.swimlane, exontrol.gantt)
...
ExG2antt, 26.0.0.4
*Added: The default value for Column.GroupByFormatCell property is "'<b><caption></b> (' + value + ')'" instead of "'<caption>'"
*Fixed: The critical path may include non critical-bars, if the chart includes SS/FF links (Items.DefSchedulePDM(exPDMCriticalPathBarColor), Items.Link(exLinkStartPos), Items.Link(exLinkEndPos))
*Fixed: The critical path may exclude critical-bars, if the chart includes links with non-zero lags (Items.DefSchedulePDM(exPDMCriticalPathBarColor), Items.Link(exLinkPDMDelay))
ExCalcEdit, 18.0.0.5
*NEW: The ex-HTML tags, including fgcolor, bgcolor, gra, out, sha, solidline, and dotline, now support 150 named colors, such as <fgcolor red>, as well as RGB format specifications like <fgcolor rgb(255,0,0)>. This enhancement offers more flexibility in defining colors within ex-HTML tags
*Added: Delphi 12 sample
*Added: The `format` operator of expression properties supports formatting the time values, using h, hh, H, HH (hours with no/leading zero for single-digit hours; 12/24-hour clock), m, mm (minutes with no/leading zero for single-digit minutes), s, ss (seconds with no leading zero for single-digit seconds), t, tt (one character time marker string, such as A or P, or multi-character time marker string, such as AM or PM). For instance, the "date(value) format `hh:mm:ss tt`" returns the time in a 12-hour clock representation with hours, minutes, seconds, and an AM/PM indicator.
Dec23
ExPlorerTree, 22.0.0.8
*Added: The Background(exScrollHoverAll/500) property specifies whether the hover-all feature is by default (0), always on (-1) or disabled(1). By default (Background(exScrollHoverAll) = 0), the left/top, right/bottom and thumb parts of the control' scrollbars are displayed in hover state while the cursor hovers any part of the scroll bar (hover-all feature). The hover-all feature is available on Windows 11 or greater, if only left/top, right/bottom, thumb, lower and upper-background parts of the scrollbar are visible, no custom visual-appearance is applied to any visible part. The hover-all feature is always on If Background(exScrollHoverAll) = -1. The Background(exScrollHoverAll) = 1 disables the hover-all feature.
*Added: Show the Left/Top or Right/Bottom buttons of the control's scrollbar on Windows 11 or greater, while the cursor hovers the scrollbar's background.
*Fixed: The scroll button's appearance is restored to normal instead of hover state when the mouse button is released
Expression, 20.0.0.7
*Added: The `format` operator of expression properties supports formatting the date values, using d, dd, ddd, ddd (day of the month as digits, with or without leading zeros, abbreviated day of the week, day of the week as specified by the current locale ), m, mm, mmm, mmmm (month as digits, with or without leading zeros, abbreviated month, month as specified by the current locale), y, yy, yyy, yyyy (year represented only by the last digits, by a full four or five digits, depending on the calendar used) literals. For instance, the "date(value) format `mmm d, yyyy`" gets the value in MMM d, YYYY format using the current locale, such as "Jan 12, 2023"
*Added: The <solidline> and <dotline> HTML tags support color in RGB format using the <solidline RRGGBB> or <dotline RRGGBB> syntax, which indicates the color to show the solid or dotted line
*Added: The ExecuteTemplate() method can return the value of a variable. For instance, the eXSurface's PointToPosition method uses variables by reference which is not supported in PowerBuilder. For that you can use a code like ExecuteTemplate("dim x,y;x=-1;y=-1;PointToPosition(x,y);x") that returns the x-position (surface's coordinates) of the current mouse pointer. In the same manner you can use ExecuteTemplate("dim x,y;x=-1;y=-1;PointToPosition(x,y);y") to return the y-position.
