Diagram control not running on Linux. Throws up error, cannot convert custom cursor tostring().

[Aanandh]

Hi ,

We have been trying to run plain vanilla windows forms app on Linux using Mono. however we find the issue that the Syncfusion Diagram control cannot initialize because of Custom Cursor during construction. 

Also, running a toolstripex on linux similarly threw error saying blank.bmp not found. 

Please help on how to proceed, and also let us know if we can run SyncFusion in WindowsForms mode in Linux. 

Thanks,

 Hi Aanandh,  

  

We have analyzed with MoMA (Mono Migration Analyzer) for Syncfusion WindowsForms controls. Currently, we don’t have support for the Syncfusion WindowsForms controls, since all of our controls are using the native methods for rendering the control and also native methods are available only in the Windows OS. So, Syncfusion controls are not supported by Linux/Mac Mono.  

  

For more information on porting winForms application, kindly follow the link below.   

http://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/winforms/porting-winforms-applications/  

  

In the above link, they only provided the details about the simple console programming and also, they did not provide the details about application with the windows forms components of Microsoft. Hence, the components cannot be used in the Linux/Mac mono.  

  

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Thanks for the quick response. Is there a way we can use Wine to use it in Linux. Can you please confirm. While we will continue to test.

Hi Aanandh, 

 

As we informed previously, all our Syncfusion controls are using the native methods for rendering the control and also the native methods are available only in the Windows OS. So, Syncfusion controls are not supported also in Linux with Wine. Please refer to the below online used guide for wine.

Hi Aanandh, 

 

In addition to previous update, the wine in Linux not always possible to run an application on builtin DLLs, so sometimes native versions will be recommended as a workaround for a specific problem. So, you can check at your project by adding/installing the native DLLs manually.  Please refer to the below online used guide for wine.
