Volume 4 helps you capitalize on your investment in WinForms by adding the new Data Pager control, the tabbed document interface feature for Docking Manager, and change tracking in Word-to-PDF conversions.
High-DPI support has been provided for the following Windows Forms controls to preserve the app quality on high-DPI devices:
The new Data Pager control is being introduced to manipulate data. Users can navigate to a part of the data from an underlying data source with on-demand data loading support.
We’ve improved summary calculation for group summaries and caption summaries by calculating summaries for columns on demand. DataGrid will load and scroll much faster when a summary is added for more than 300 columns.
Autofit the grouped items in the group drop area based on their text. This allows end users to view all the grouped items’ text.
DataGrid supports a Does Not Contain option for both UI and programmatic filtering. Now, users can filter records that do not contain a given value.
Display a custom suggestion list in the drop-down on typing text in the editor portion. Thus, end users can show a custom suggestion list such as one with Fuzzy logic to tolerate typo errors.
Customize the outermost border color of ListView control.
Rotate the chart axis title to the desired angle to improve readability.
Copy and save a chart as an image with or without a toolbar.
Include or exclude series data points and series styles when saving the chart as a template.
