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.

The following movie shows the ImageSize feature

The ImageSize property allows you to change the default icon size from 16 to any other value. In other words, ability to specify the size for icons, check-box, radio-buttons, expand-collapse glyphs and so on. The Images method allows app to load icons from files, streams or BASE-64 encoded strings. The ImageSize property should be defined before the Images method, so the correct resolution for ICO is chosen. This feature will be available for all UI controls that support Images method.

03-28-2012 ExG2antt, 5.4.0.2
*NEW: The 'in' function in computing formulas increases significantly the time to evaluate it. For instance, if you have the formula such us 'value = 1 or value = 2 or value = 22 or value = 45 or value = 12', ... you can have the 'value in (1, 2, 22, 45, 12)'. In other words, if the set contains about 1000 elements for instance, the evaluator takes max 8 checking to determine if the specified value fits the set, else requires 1000 checking is required to verify each or condition in the sequence.
*NEW: The 'switch' function similar with 'in' function retrieves the value being found in the collection, or a default value if the element is not found. The first element in the collection is the result being returned by 'switch' function when the value is not found in the collection, else the 'switch' returns the value itself. All elements in the collection MUST be constant values. For instance, the "value switch ('not found', 11, 23, 45, 129, 123,99)" means that if the value is 33, the 'not found' string is returned, while if the value is 45, the switch returns 45.
*NEW: The 'case()' function includes any number of case instances. A 'case' instance may contains a statement that is executed once the value is found in the 'case' collection. The 'case' unary operator gets the value being specified by respective statement or the value itself. For instance, the 'int(value) case (1 : value + 1 ; 2 : value * 2)' specifies that if the value is 1 the statement returns 2, while if the value is 2, the statement returns 4, and for any other value it returns the value itself. Also the 'case()' can be used with 'switch' as for instance "%0 switch ('not found',11,22,33,44,55) case (11 : %0 + %1 ; 22 : %1 * 1.19; 33 : len(str(%0)))" indicates that if the value in the column 0 is 11, the result will be the sum between first column and second column, else if the value is 22 the result is the second column value multiplied by 1.19, else if the value is 33 the return is the length of the value in the first cell, if the value is 44 or 55, the result is 44 or 55, while for any other value the result will be 'not found'. The 'in', 'switch' and 'case()' increases significantly the speed to evaluate constant values instead using 'and', 'or' operators to build complicated formulas that could be time consuming.
*Added: The 'case()' function available for computing properties such us: Bar.ShowHistogramValues, Chart.CondInsideZoom, Column.ComputedField, Column.FormatColumn, ConditionalFormat.Expression, Level.FormatLabel, Items.ItemNonworkingUnits
*Added: The Items.ItemBar(exBarKeepWorkingCount) property specifies whether the bar in the histogram uses the Items.ItemBar(exBarWorkingCount) value instead the duration of the bar ItemBar(exBarDuration). The Bar.HistogramType should be exHistOverAllocation
*Added: The 'in' and 'switch' function available for computed properties. For instance, a in (b,c,d,e) returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the a is b or c or d or e, and so on. The elements of the collection should be constants. The 'in' function is available for properties such us: Bar.ShowHistogramValues, Chart.CondInsideZoom, Column.ComputedField, Column.FormatColumn, ConditionalFormat.Expression, Level.FormatLabel, Items.ItemNonworkingUnits
*Fixed: The Items.RemoveAllItems method releases the occupied memory too.
*Fixed: The ItemBar(exBarWorkingCount) property never returns if the ItemNonWorkingUnit property indicates a non-repetitive formula. For instance, shortdate(value) = #7/14/2009#
03-28-2012 ExSkinBox, 6.0.0.1
*Added: "Property let procedure not defined and property get procedure did not return an object" runtime-error '451' occurs in VB if calling to assign a picture using its reference when using the Set .HTMLPicture statement.
*Added: If the X and Y parameters of the Out method are of a string type and indicates a valid window handle, the message box is displayed centered relative to specified window. For instance, the MsgBox1.Out "Aka", , , , Str(Me.hWnd), Str(Me.hWnd) displays the message box centered relative to the form.
*Added: If the X and Y parameters of the Input method are of a string type and indicates a valid window handle, the input box is displayed centered relative to specified window. For instance, the MsgBox1.Input "Aka", , , , Str(Me.hWnd), Str(Me.hWnd) displays the input box centered relative to the form.

03-05-2012 ExGantt, 6.1.0.5
*NEW: Ability to specify padding for cells in the column
*NEW: The 'in' function in computing formulas increases significantly the time to evaluate it. For instance, if you have the formula such us 'value = 1 or value = 2 or value = 22 or value = 45 or value = 12', ... you can have the 'value in (1, 2, 22, 45, 12)'. In other words, if the set contains about 1000 elements for instance, the evaluator takes max 8 checking to determine if the specified value fits the set, else requires 1000 checking is required to verify each or condition in the sequence.
*NEW: The 'case()' function includes any number of case instances. A 'case' instance may contains a statement that is executed once the value is found in the 'case' collection. The 'case' unary operator gets the value being specified by respective statement or the value itself. For instance, the 'int(value) case (1 : value + 1 ; 2 : value * 2)' specifies that if the value is 1 the statement returns 2, while if the value is 2, the statement returns 4, and for any other value it returns the value itself. Also the 'case()' can be used with 'switch' as for instance "%0 switch ('not found',11,22,33,44,55) case (11 : %0 + %1 ; 22 : %1 * 1.19; 33 : len(str(%0)))" indicates that if the value in the column 0 is 11, the result will be the sum between first column and second column, else if the value is 22 the result is the second column value multiplied by 1.19, else if the value is 33 the return is the length of the value in the first cell, if the value is 44 or 55, the result is 44 or 55, while for any other value the result will be 'not found'. The 'in', 'switch' and 'case()' increases significantly the speed to evaluate constant values instead using 'and', 'or' operators to build complicated formulas that could be time consuming.
*NEW: The 'switch' function similar with 'in' function retrieves the value being found in the collection, or a default value if the element is not found. The first element in the collection is the result being returned by 'switch' function when the value is not found in the collection, else the 'switch' returns the value itself. All elements in the collection MUST be constant values. For instance, the "value switch ('not found', 11, 23, 45, 129, 123,99)" means that if the value is 33, the 'not found' string is returned, while if the value is 45, the switch returns 45.
*Added: Column.Def(exCellPaddingLeft) specifies the left padding (space) of the cells within the column. The similar options are: exCellPaddingRight, exCellPaddingTop and exCellPaddingBottom to control the right, top and bottom padding.
*Added: Column.Def(exHeaderPaddingLeft) specifies the left padding (space) of the column's header. The similar options are: exHeaderPaddingRight, exHeaderPaddingTop and exHeaderPaddingBottom to control the right, top and bottom padding.
*Added: The 'in', 'switch' and 'case()' functions available for properties such us: Column.ComputedField, Column.FormatColumn, ConditionalFormat.Expression

02-23-2012

The following picture shows the Padding support, which will be included:

Padding support - defines the space between the element border and the element content. The padding clears an area around the content (inside the border) of an element, and does not affect the element's background color. The Column.Def(exCellPaddingLeft), exCellPaddingRight, exCellPaddingTop and exCellPaddingBottom defines in pixels the left, right, top and bottom padding (space) of the cells within the column. The Column.Def(exHeaderPaddingLeft), exHeaderPaddingRight, exHeaderPaddingTop and exHeaderPaddingBottom defines the padding ( spaces ) of the column's caption in the control's header.
