Wijmo Core adds Web Workers, new OLAP features, a Ribbon sample, accessibility improvements and more.

Features

Updates in Wijmo Core 2018 v3

• Faster PDF Export with Web Workers
  • PDF export can often slow down web apps: since the export is happening in the browser’s UI thread, it can cause the rest of the application to be unusable. This is where Web Workers comes to the rescue. We used Web Workers to process the exporting of PDF files on a separate thread from the application UI. This allows the applications to stay usable and the PDF export to churn along in the “background”.
• Group Headers in ComboBox/ListBox
  • We've added a showGroups property that you can use to add group headers to ListBox and ComboBox controls. Group header items are added if the showGroups property is set to true and the itemsSource collection has grouping enabled.
• Ribbon Sample using TabPanel
  • We’ve added a ribbon sample that shows how you can create ribbons easily using the TabPanel control and the controls in Wijmo's input module.
  • The ribbon element is a TabPanel. The tab pages contain groups of controls arranged in rows and columns. Controls in the groups use Material Icons, and have tooltips created automatically based on the aria-label attribute assigned to each control.
• Slicer for OLAP
  • We have added a Slicer control to our OLAP module. The Slicer control provides a quick way to edit filters applied to PivotField objects.
  • It provides buttons the user can click to filter data based on values and indicates the current filtering state, which makes it easy to understand what is shown in filtered PivotGrid and PivotChart controls.
• Detail Dialog API in OLAP
  • The Wijmo PivotGrid allows you to drill down into cells to see the data items that were used to calculate each summary. Users can invoke the detail dialog by double-clicking any value cell. You can also invoke the detail dialog by calling the grid's showDetail method and passing the coordinates of the cell.
  • Now, the grid exposes the detail dialog through its detailDialog property, which can be used to customize the dialog.
• Calculated Fields in OLAP
  • We also added a PivotField.getValue property to OLAP that allows you to specify a custom function to be used for retrieving the field value for a given item. You can use this to implement calculated fields such as 'binning' (e.g. Value => large/medium/small) or calculated expressions (e.g Conversion => downloads/sales).
• Year Picker in Calendar
  • We added a small but useful feature in our Calendar and InputDate controls. You can now click on the year header to open a year picker that allows you to much more easily jump to different years. This little enhancement should save your end users some time when selecting dates.
• Submenu Support Added to Menu
  • We got this request from a customer and thought it was a great idea. Our Menu control now supports adding multiple submenus to it so that you can create more complex menus and context menus. We also added an option to open menus on hover.
• Looking for Angular 7 Support?
  • We're very excited about Angular 7, and as you know, Wijmo has first-class Angular support. We're happy to announce that Wijmo supports Angular 7, so you can use the current version of Wijmo to build Angular 7 applications today.
• New Samples
  • WebComponentsIntro
  • MyBI
  • Ribbon Control Example
  • Slicer for OLAP
  • OLAP Detail Dialog

New Material Theme Designer, Sparkline control and FlexGrid integration, plus DataFilter control beta release.

Features

• New Material Theme Designer - In addition to adding Material, Material Dark, and Office 2016 Excel Green themes, WinForms now features a Material Theme Designer sample that allows you to set the primary and accent colours of Material theme and save\load them in C1themes format.
• New DataFilter control (beta) - A powerful UI addition, the DataFilter provides an easy, ecommerce-like filter to accompany any data-aware control. You can create filters from datasources, autogenerated, or create them manually. The accordion-based filtering UI can be attached to any control sharing a datasource or plugged into an info screen. The DataFilter is in beta mode and will be launched in 2019 v1.
• New Sparkline control and FlexGrid integration - This lightweight sparkline chart control represents the general shape of data variation in a condensed visual. It's often embedded in grids, and as such, FlexGrid can now display sparklines in columns, and it's now easier to plot trends inside FlexGrid cells. The sparkline property of the FlexGrid column supports plotting line, column, and WinLoss sparklines. You can further customize these sparklines by setting the Axis, markers, and series colours among others.
• FlexGrid now supports SortInfo and GroupInfo, so column information can now be saved and loaded.
• Scheduler's table and agenda views are now launched and out of beta.
• FlexChart now supports animation when loading, updating, and adding new data.

Adds Simplified Ribbon contol, new FlexGrid101 Samples, customized icons, plus updates to Scheduler.

Features

• Simplified WPF Ribbon - Improve the look and navigation of your WPF apps with the modern, minimalistic simplified ribbon. This new control occupies the middle ground between a ribbon a toolbar, providing a single-line collapsed state, or a three-line ribbon-like appearance, and its design is influenced by Microsoft's ever-evolving Office 365 ribbon. You can customize the style of the ribbon, as well as the buttons you'd like to include.
• FlexGrid101 Samples - Added a new C1Icon that enables a new level of customization for the sort, filter, and grouping glyphs, as well as FlexGrid101 samples to make it even easier to get started with this popular control. They demonstrate features like selection, cell customization, conditional formatting, filtering, the RowDetails feature, cell merging, and many other points of interest.
• C1Icon - A new object that is used within the FlexGrid to make it much easier to customize the many icons used throughout for sorting, filter, etc. C1Icon allows you to specify your own image, font character, or use a built-in template to change the appearance of the icons found in the data grid.
• Scheduler Updates:
  • New TableView Scheduler sample displays appointments in a table view that can be grouped, sorted, or filtered as specified by the developer or end user. It's similar to the Outlook 2016 List and Active views:
  • AgendaView displays appointments grouped by date in a table view where a single table row represents a single appointment. Users can edit appointments by double-clicking on an appointment and opening the EditAppointment dialog. This view is always sorted by dates in ascending order, and doesn't have row or column headers.
  • New "Working Elsewhere" appointment availability status has been added.
• FlexChart Updates:
  • Animations - FlexChart and Finanical Chart now has animations for loading, updating, and changes to the chart axes. You can also create your own custom animations using the AnimationTransform event.
  • Scale Breaks - FlexChart has also been updated to support axis scale breaks. Scale breaks can make irregular data that varies by a large magnitude easier to read as it makes the lower end of the scale more visible.
  • Ranged drawing mode - allows support for built-in floating bar and Gantt charts. Ranged drawing mode is available for Bar, Column, and Area Charts.
  • UWP controls are now available through NuGet.

Adds new Flight Statistics sample, Group Items in ComboBox and ActiveReports support to FlexViewer.

Features

• New Control Designer for ASP.NET MVC - With the newly-enhanced scaffolders, you can use the control wizard to configure controls when you're not using Entity Framework and generate code for a C1 MVC control. In addition to inserting a new control, this now supports updating an existing control definition using the wizard. This wizard can be invoked through the context menu or through Quick Actions in Razor view. This feature is supported in ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core MVC.
• New Flight Statistics Sample - This dashboard-style sample displays flight performance data over time. Controls include FlexGrid with sparkline columns for delay trend and KPI columns. A treemap, bar chart, and line symbol chart are used in to display region-wide statistics, and users can drill down to a specific region and city by selecting the data points. On clicking a region in the Total Flights TreeMap, the FlexGrid displays the details of that region.
• Group items in ComboBox - From the user request folder! With CollectionView already supporting grouping, ComboBox grouping could be implemented with some custom code, but we added this as a simple property in the control itself:
• ActiveReports added to FlexViewer - In addition to FlexViewer's support for ActiveReports, a new Item Template allows you to quickly configure the viewer in your ASP.NET MVC app.
• DashboardDemo updated with Material Design - The DashboardDemo has been updated to include Material Design principles and color schemes. In addition, the DashboardLayout control has been added to the dashboard and analysis tabs.
• FlexGrid Enhancements:
  • Use ColumnGroupProvider to create multi-level merged-cell column headers for groups of related columns.
  • FlexGrid AccessibilityExtender can be used to easily extend accessibility support in one of two ways; Resize columns using the keyboard (alt+left/right keys). Provide an "alert" method that changes the content of an invisible element with the role "alert." This allows assistive tools to announce grid actions like sorting and filtering.

Adds ability to create tables and crosstabs simply by dragging fields to your workspace.

Features

• Enhanced Performance
  • List & Label’s processing speed was boosted significantly. In list projects, 20% higher speeds are achieved on average, regardless of the data source or development environment. Even greater performance improvements are achievable with ADO .NET when large numbers of 1:1 relations are employed.
• Creating a Crosstab via Drag and Drop
  • Users can now create both tables and crosstabs simply by dragging fields to their workspace. This is a very intuitive way to build a basic crosstab that can be edited later.
• Converting Crosstabs to Charts and Vice Versa
  • In terms of underlying data, crosstabs and charts have much in common. In reports, a chart is often included with a crosstab to visualize the data. This can now be performed directly from within the object window or ribbon. It is also possible to convert charts into crosstabs.
• Find and Replace
  • The Designer now provides a powerful find and replace function. It enables developers and users to quickly and easily update reports to changes of file names, tables,variables etc.
• Expandable Regions for Groups
  • Users can intuitively drilldown within grouped lists by expanding and collapsing selected regions. This feature is available in the preview and in the HTML5 viewer.
• Support for .NET Standard 2.0
  • The new Web Assembly supports .NET Standard 2.0, which means List & Label can now be integrated into the latest ASP.NET MVC Core applications.
• Drilldown Support in the HTML5 Viewer
  • Drilldown in charts has long been possible in desktop applications. Now we have introduced this functionality to Web Reporting. Active link areas can be added to chart segments, and users simply click to access the underlying data.
• SVG-Format Charts in the HTML5 Viewer
  • In browsers and when exporting to XHTML, all charts, shapefiles (e.g. for geovisualization) and barcodes are now rendered in SVG format. This means that despite small file sizes, image quality is excellent, even when zoomed.
• Rscript for Additional Charts
  • List & Label already offers a wide variety of charts. But data can be represented in countless ways, and combit has connected Rscript to List & Label to offer an even greater choice. Rscript is an established language for statistical computing and graphics that supports visualization of virtually any kind. This extends List & Label’s existing report-layout and data-access options to include the huge range of charts and graphics provided by Rscript.
• Embedded Export Formats
  • Export Formats can be embedded in preview files for later export to Microsoft Excel and Word, MHTML and XHTML – in addition to PDF and the graphics formats that LL already offers. It lets users open the preview file in the free List & Label viewer and export to the specified formats.
• Parametrized Data Sources
  • Thanks to parametrized data sources, List & Label’s powerful filtering options can now be used anywhere. This feature lets you combine data-source parameters with actual report parameters in the Designer. As a result, the parameters of a stored procedure, for example, can be employed as report parameters. The feature is also available for REST and JSON in the Report Server.
• Seamless Refresh for Preview
  • E.g. for drilldown and other interactive preview features, the preview is now seamlessly refreshed when new content has been generated.
• Preview Tailored to Application
  • A variety of settings allows software developers to tailor the preview to their application’s look & feel. Colors and shading can be changed, plus the selection frame and how page numbers are displayed.
• Country Flags
  • With the new CountryFlag function an SVG graphic of the required country flag can be created anywhere in a report.
• Nested Tables
  • Nested tables are now supported in group headers and header lines. Users can include data in group headers quickly and easily from a sub-table. In header lines, this feature is limited to static content.
• Preview from Individual Pages
  • The preview can now be broken down into preferred page ranges. Afterwards users can recombine resulting individual files in any order, enabling entirely new ways to restructure an existing report on the fly.
• Web Designer: Custom Objects/Functions
  • Developers can add custom designer functions and designer objects to the Web Designer configuration on the server. They are then available to clients (also possible for the Report Server). This means the Web Designer can be extended as needed (just like the classic Desktop Designer).
• Animations for XHTML Export
  • Most objects now have an HTML animation property. This enables animation of objects displayed in the browser in a similar way to that possible in the preview window. Simply select one of the nine available animation types and specify the delay and duration. This feature is also available in the Report Server.
• Requested Features in the Ad-hoc Designer
  • The option “Instantly refresh preview when changes are made” can be selected to update the preview as soon as the layout has been modified.
  • For rapid preview generation with extensive data sources, the quantity of data can be restricted by selecting “Limit data volume for faster preview display”.
  • Another improvement: you can now select your preferred format for the output date.
• Report Server: New Actions for Scheduled Reports
  • In addition to distribution by email, via FTP or Microsoft SharePoint, scheduled reports can now be uploaded to Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive.
• Report Server: Native Apps for iOS and Android
  • The new Report Server apps (to be available from App Store resp. Play Store) allows access to key Report Server functions natively on almost any mobile device. The app loads faster than the complete browser-based user interface and uses very little bandwidth. Currently Android, iOS and Windows are supported.
