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.
The following movie shows the first look of the newly eXGraph/JS component
ExGraph/JS is a component that offers excellent graphical data visualization. It has many different types and styles of charts. Easy to use, zoom, resize, scroll, overview, legend, cursor view, owner-draw, numerous chart types to different axes in the same view, multiple views, and much more are features of the ExGraph/JS package. The ExGraph/JS is a HTML standalone-component, written in JavaScript, that uses no third-party libraries. The version of eXGraph for /COM, /NET and /WPF will be available in the near future.
The following movie shows the Predecessor/Successor feature
Tasks may have multiple predecessors or multiple successors. Before you begin establishing dependencies, it's important to understand that there are four types: Finish to Start (FS), the predecessor ends before the successor can begin, Start to Start (SS), the predecessor begins before the successor can begin, Finish to Finish (FF), the predecessor ends before the successor can end, Start to Finish (SF), the predecessor begins before the successor can end. The Predecessor/Successor columns show the bar's predecessor/successor based on its incoming/outgoing links. The control allows you to highlight the selected link, to add or remove the links based on the dependencies you type.
The following movie shows the expandable HTML caption feature
The expandable-captions allow you to expand(show)/collapse(hide) different information using "<a ;exp=>" or "<a ;e64=>" anchor ex-HTML tag. The exp/e64 field of the anchor stores the information to show once the user collapses/expands the caption. Any ex-HTML caption can be transformed to an expandable-caption, by inserting the anchor ex-HTML tag. For instance, "<solidline><b>Header</b></solidline><br>Line1<r><a ;exp=show lines>+</a><br>Line2<br>Line3" shows the Header in underlined and bold on the first line and Line1, Line2, Line3 on the rest. The "show lines" is shown instead of Line1, Line2, Line3 once the user clicks the + sign.
The feature will be available for almost all components that provide the
AnchorClick event, such as eXSwimlane, eXSurface,
eXHTML, eXG2antt, and so on
(/COM, /NET, /WPF and Javascript as well)
The following movie shows the undo/redo feature
You can undo and redo your last design actions on the surface. To undo an action, press Ctrl + Z. To redo an undone action, press Ctrl + Y. The Undo and Redo features let you remove or repeat single or multiple UI actions, but all actions must be undone or redone in the order you did or undid them you can t skip actions.
For example, if you change the shape of three elements and then decide you want to undo the first change you made, you must undo all three changes.
The feature will be available for eXSurface, eXSwimlane and eXSchedule /COM, /NET, /WPF and Javascript.

ExGrid, 18.0.1.2
*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: The HeaderSingleLine property is ignored if the control's header displays multiple levels of columns
(Column.LevelKey property)
*Added: The state of the newly inserted child-item is automatically set on 1, if the column-partial check feature is enabled and the parent-item's state is 1
(Items.CellState, Column.PartialCheck)
|
|
ExPivot, 17.1.0.5
*Added: GridLinesStyleEnum.exGridlinesGeometric flag. The control's gridlines are drawn using a geometric pen. A geometric pen can have any width and can have any of the attributes of a brush, such as dithers and patterns (a cosmetic pen can only be a single pixel wide and must be a solid color, but cosmetic pen are generally faster than geometric pens.
*Added: Serializes the ScrollBySingleLine, Items.ItemHeight,
Items.ItemMinHeight, Items.ItemMaxHeight, to XML format the LoadXML/SaveXML method
*Added: Serializes the Items.ItemDivider, Items.ItemDividerLine, Items.ItemDividerLineAlignment and Items.ItemHeight properties to XML file using the LoadXML / SaveXML method

ExG2antt, 25.1.0.1
*NEW: Z-Events support (Standard .NET event patterns)
*Added: Every event of the control (/NET assembly) provides a Z-Event alternative, of "void
OnEventRaised(object sender, EventArgs args)" type. The .NET convention is for an event (Z-event) signature to have a void return and 2 parameters. The first parameter is of type System.Object and is the sender of the event. The second parameter must be of type System.EventArgs or derived from System.EventArgs and contains data passed between sender and receiver. For instance, the
"DblClick(object sender, short Shift, int X, int Y)" event is equivalent to
"ZDblClick(object sender, ZDblClickArgs e)", where "ZDblClickArgs" type is derived from System.EventArgs and includes definitions for Shift, X and Y properties
*Fixed: "Warning: The <event-name> event is a .NET event that does not follow the .NET convention for event signatures
(OpenEdge, ABL code)". To prevent this warning, under OpenEdge environment you must use the Z-event alternatives

ExRollist 16.0.0.2
*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: 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.

ExSuite/JS, 3.2
*NEW: Ability to display task resource usage in a target exgantt/js control
*NEW: Ability to load data from objects of the {columns, items} type (exontrol.tree, exontrol.pivot, exontrol.gantt)
*Added: The Resources/GetResources()/SetResources(value) {string}, specifies the resources to be used by the current bar, separated by commas. The <%=%49%> sequence within the item-bar's caption displays the item's bar resource usage, including the percentage if applicable. (exontrol.gantt)
*Added: The ResourceFormat/GetResourceFormat()/SetResourceFormat(value) {string}, specifies the format for displaying a bar's resource. To get the HTML value of the formatted string using the bar's resources, use resourcesFormat(266) (note: not 'resourceFormat', which lacks the 's'). The <%=%266%> sequence within the item-bar's caption displays the item's bar resource usage according to 'resourceFormat' field. (exontrol.gantt)
*Added: Data/GetData()/SetData(value) {any} and Import(source, importOpts) now support objects of the {columns, items} type, where 'columns' is an array of [(string|ColumnOpts)] type and 'items' is an array of [(string|ItemsOpts)] type; the ItemsOpts object supports a recursive 'items' property to specify child items. For instance, {columns: "Def", items: {value: "Root", expanded: false, items:["Child 1", "Child 2", "Child 3"]}} defines a single-column control with a collapsed root item labeled 'Root' and three child items named 'Child 1', 'Child 2', and 'Child 3', or {columns: [{caption: "C1", displayFilterButton: true}, "C2"], items: [{value: ["R1.1", "R1.2"], items: [["C1.1", "C1.2"], ["C2.1", "C2.2"], ["C3.1", "C3.2"]]}, ["R2.1", "R2.2"]]} defines a dataset with two columns labeled as C1 (with a filter button for user value filtering) and C2. It includes two root items and three child items under the first root, each specifying values for their respective cells in the table (exontrol.tree, exontrol.pivot,
exontrol.gantt)

ExG2antt, 25.0.0.3
*NEW: Ability to re-position the tooltip of objects from the chart (level, bar, link, overview or note)
*Added: The Tooltip(0, -1, Visible, X, Y, CX, CY) event occurs once the level's tooltip is about to be shown (-1 if the mouse pointer hovers the levels of the chart). The
Tooltip(0, -2, Visible, X, Y, CX, CY) event occurs once the bar's tooltip (exBarToolTip) is about to be shown (-2 if the mouse pointer hovers the bars of the chart). The
Tooltip(0, -3, Visible, X, Y, CX, CY) event occurs once the link's tooltip (exLinkToolTip) is about to be shown (-3 if the mouse pointer hovers the links of the chart). The
Tooltip(0, -4, Visible, X, Y, CX, CY) event occurs once the note's tooltip (Note.PartToolTip) is about to be shown (-4 if the mouse pointer hovers the notes of the chart). The
Tooltip(0, -5, Visible, X, Y, CX, CY) event occurs once the overview's tooltip
(Chart.OverviewToolTip) is about to be shown (-5 if the mouse pointer hovers the overview section of the chart). In other words the ColIndex parameter of the Tooltip event could one of the above negative values. For instance, you can change the X or Y parameters to re-position the tooltip relative to its default position or fixed to the screen. X = X + 8, makes the tooltip to be shown 8 pixels to the right, while X = 100 specifies that always the tolltip will be shown at fixed horizontal position.
*Added: GridLinesStyleEnum.exGridlinesGeometric flag. The control's gridlines are drawn using a geometric pen. A geometric pen can have any width and can have any of the attributes of a brush, such as dithers and patterns (a cosmetic pen can only be a single pixel wide and must be a solid color, but cosmetic pen are generally faster than geometric pens.
