Diagramming for WinForms V.6.0.2 Released

Tuesday February 12, 2013

For years MindFusion's Diagramming component for WinForms has been #1 choice of small companies and Fortune 500 enterprises worldwide. If you're new to using the control, it won't take you long to find out why developers love it - it is so easy to use it that you can start building fantastic flowcharts the moment you install it. It's fast, reliable and above all provides every single diagramming feature you might ever need. The new version adds various customer-requested features and fixes a few bugs. Here are the details:

Preserve order in tree layout

The Balance property of TreeLayout can be set to Preserve to keep the original geometric order of child nodes when arranging them under their parent. This can be used to arrange tree branches in a specific order by first placing them in increasing horizontal or vertical positions.

Item rendering Improvements

Effects such as GlassEffect and AeroEffect can be applied to CompositeNode objects.
The last row in a TableNode will now be rendered clipped if it fits only partially inside the node, whereas in previous versions the row would not be rendered at all.

Export improvements

The PaintControl event is now raised also when exporting ControlNode objects to PDF, SVG or WMF.
RenderOptions property added to PdfExporter, SvgExporter and WmfExporter allows controlling various aspects of exported diagrams.
Speed of PDF generation by PdfExporter greatly improved.

Selection improvements

DiagramView.Behavior can be set to SelectOnly to let users select existing items, but not modify them or draw new ones.
The SetsDirtyFlag property of the Selection class specified whether the Dirty flag should be set when selection changes.
