New in Wijmo 2018 v1

• New Licensing Mechanism - implemented a new licensing mechanism in Wijmo when you deploy to a server. You now need to create a distribution key for applications that use Wijmo. Wijmo licensing will not need a distribution key when on localhost, so your development process will go uninterrupted. You only need to generate and apply a distribution key when you are deploying your application to a server.
• Published to NPM - The biggest benefit from adding the new licensing mechanism is that there is now a single distribution which can be published to NPM.
• New TabPanel Control - The TabPanel is smart, it refreshes Wijmo controls when the tabs become visible. Because controls need to be visible on the screen when they are rendered (for calculating dimensions), other tab controls force you to refresh Wijmo controls manually. So this is a nice feature for customers using this TabPanel with embedded Wijmo controls (like FlexGrid).
• Wijmo OLAP is even more powerful now that it can connect directly to Microsoft SSAS Cubes. This is great for those of you who have existing SSAS cubes and want to create a PivotGrid (and PivotChart) bound directly to the cube. This feature requires that you configure a few things in your SSAS Cube to make sure it's accessible via AJAX requests.
• ActiveReports Support in ReportViewer - Wijmo has a modern client-side ReportViewer control that now supports ActiveReports. The Wijmo ReportViewer is written as a control in TypeScript and comes with built-in support for Angular, React, Vue and more. It is also provided in multiple module formats for use with module loaders.
• FlexSheet Tables - Tables in FlexSheet act similarly to Excel; you can select a range of cells in a sheet and convert them to a formatted table.
• React Child Component Support - Added child component support for controls with complex properties: for example, FlexGridColumn for FlexGrid Column objects and FlexChartSeries for Chart Series objects. This makes declaring controls and bindings in markup even more powerful.
• HTTPS CDN - Moving forward, all new versions of Wijmo will be published to a new CDN that supports HTTPS, ensuring you can host your applications on HTTPS and still use Wijmo. It also makes Wijmo easier to use on sites like jsfiddle, codepen, jsbin, etc.
• Accessibility Enhancements - improved accessibility for:
  • Hierarchical FlexGrid (with ARIA treegrid attributes).
  • AutoComplete & ComboBox.
  • FlexGridFilter Dialog.
• New Samples:
  • TabPanelIntro sample | TabPanel blog
  • OLAP SSAS Cube sample | OLAP and SSAS Cube Blog
  • Angular 5 TabPanelIntro sample
  • ActiveReport ReportViewer sample
  • Server CollectionView sample

New in ComponentOne Studio for Xamarin 2018 v1

• New Dashboard Demo
  • An all-new mobile version of the dashboard sample app, displays sales and profit comparison, goals, top products, and customers.
  • Features many of the controls, including FlexChart, FlexPie, FlexGrid, BulletGraph, and CollectionView.
  • Demonstrates using the controls within more complicated multi-page arrangements, including master detail, carousel, and tabbed pages.
  • Displays many of the new control animations.
• FlexChart
  • Added pan and zoom to FlexPie and Sunburst charts making dense datasets easier to visualize, improving interaction with both chart types and providing an even better experience on mobile.
  • Added new properties to the Axis object of a traditional FlexChart including Scale and DisplayedRange.
  • Animations - Added animations for FlexChart and FlexPie, these animations are available for loading and updating data in these chart types, as well as selection for FlexPie.
• FlexGrid
  • Added Column/Row Dragging Reordering - One of the most requested features for FlexGrid was the ability drag to reorder rows and columns. This is now available by setting the AllowDragging property.
  • Resizing columns and rows should also feel better in this release, as most of the gesture and touch interactions have been overhauled.
  • New animations accompany reordering your data.
  • Deletion is now based on selection, rather than current cell. Changing the SelectionMode has an impact on what is deleted. Cell-based Selection simply deletes the content of the cell without modifying the CollectionView, though Row-based selection have the rows deleted in both the FlexGrid and CollectionView.
• Gauge
  • Added the ability to use dragging interactions with gauge controls (Linear Gauge, Radial Gauge, and Bullet Graph) rather than just taps.
• Improvements to Input controls
  • Added animations for all the DropDown derived controls.
  • Added basic keyboard handling to the controls, so for UWP users and mobile users with a keyboard you should now be able to navigate through the list of items available in a DropDown using the arrow keys, use Enter to begin and end editing, and use the tab key to navigate through tab stops on UWP.
  • Added new properties for customizing the fonts in AutoComplete and ComboBox. There are now FontAttributes, FontSize, and FontFamily properties for configuring these controls.
• New Project Templates
  • Added a new .NET Standard project template for Visual Studio 2017.
  • Modernize your Xamarin.Forms projects as the .NET platform continues to evolve.
  • Templates should now automatically open up the GrapeCity license manager add in (on platforms that support it) to make licensing your projects more straightforward.

• CrossSectionBox enhancements - CrossSectionBox now includes a CloseBorder property. If a grouping in a Section Report spans multiple pages and needs a border, the CloseBorder property allows you to close the bottom and top borders of each page for that grouped section.
• Map enhancements - Now you can display geospatial data directly on the Map with a new function =MapPoint(<Latitude>,<Longitude>). This function is available for a map Point Layer only.
• Shape enhancements - Shape controls now include hatch style and a gradient brush.

Features

TeeSuite includes a professional charting component, an easy-to-use data grid and BI & analytic tools for RAD Studio developers.

• Deliver high performance charting solutions.
  TeeChart Pro VCL allows you to create general purpose and specialized chart and graphing applications for all areas including business, engineering, financial, statistical, scientific, medical, real-time, and the web. TeeChart Pro VCL features a chart gallery with several chart types including 2D or 3D line, bar, horizontal bar, area, point, pie, arrow, bubble, Gantt, surface, volume, polar, and many more. Use the Chart Editor to customize your charts.
• Lightweight and full featured, cross-platform grid / tabular control.
  TeeGrid offers a very fast grid component for Embarcadero RAD Studio, Delphi and C++, VCL and Firemonkey frameworks and Lazarus FreePascal. Fully compatible with VCL and FMX it offers you the means to take common core code for gridding on Microsoft Windows, Android and Apple iOS/OSX.
• Business intelligence components for RAD Studio.
  TeeBI is a component suite whose goal is to help developers provide integrated and easily usable data analysis services in their own developed applications. TeeBI provides a Core engine that can be configured to connect to a wide variety of data and information sources across a variety of data providers and formats. The TeeBI Core creates a common metadata format for all the information sources enabling homogeneous access for all visualization and analysis tools. To this data you can make links, view in Chart, Grid or Tree formats or create triggers to bulletin data events. Output to the desktop or to the web or create new, consolidated datasources for further data analysis. TeeBI includes Geo-mapping capabilities to bring location data, automatically to your data.

Adds Spreadsheet conditional formatting.

Features

• Excel Engine and Spreadsheet Features
  • Conditional Formatting - Spreadsheets now support the rendering of all the conditional formatting options available in Excel including Data Bars, Color Scales, and Icon Sets.
  • Worksheet Sorting and Filtering - You can now sort and filter your information outside of a table. You can define a single area, within the Worksheet, but outside of the table, and you can apply sorting and filtering.
  • List Validation - While Infragistics Ultimate UI for Window Forms already had list data validation in place, users had to know of the list's specifiers to type in the relevant data, since there wasn't a cell drop-down option. In this update a cell drop-down option has been added.
• Table Improvements
  • With Copy and Paste, you can now select an entire table, copy it to the Clipboard, and paste elsewhere to have a new copy of that selected table created. Also, when pasting in a Worksheet Table, the table will be automatically expanded to encompass the area of the paste function.
  • As for Editing, when you find yourself typing or editing immediately adjacent to the bottom or right edge of a Worksheet Table, the Table will be expanded.
  • Tab Navigation will navigate within the table, wrapping to either the next or previous row. Like Excel, the table will also be automatically expanded when tabbing from the last visible cell of the table.
  • When you have a total row or column highlight in Windows Forms, you can select the drop-down button to pick a common formula for the table.
  • For ContextMenu, some additional items were added, such as menu items for inserting and adding rows/ columns to a table, selecting rows/ columns of a table, toggling the total row, and converting a table to a range.
• Supported Functions - A number of additional popular functions are now supported, including SUM, CONCATENATE, and COUNTA, and a host of others through which you can easily scroll.
• Grid Events
  • Column AutoSizing with UltraGrid - The purpose of these events is to allow developers to modify or to override the AutoSize width of a column.
• Data Chart Controls
  • Scatter Series - Added four new types of scatter series to the UltraDataChart control.
    • Scatter Area Series: This data chart draws a colored surface based on a triangulation of X and Y data with a numeric value assigned to each point. This series is useful for rendering heat maps, magnetic field strength, or Wi-Fi strength in an office.
    • Scatter Contour Series: This chart draws colored contour lines based on a triangulation of X and Y data with a numeric value assigned to each point. This series is useful for rendering contour maps, changes in magnetic field strength or rendering an overlay on top of ScatterAreaSeries.
    • Scatter Polygon Series: This is a visual element that displays data using polygons. This type of series can render any shape. All you need to do is bind a List of List of Point objects or load a shapefile with polygons using the ShapefileConverter.
    • Scatter Polyline Series: This displays data using polylines. This scatter series is often used where rendering disconnected lines are required such as a network graph or multiple connections between scatter data points. This series has the same data requirements as ScatterPolygonSeries does, and it also can render data from shapefiles.

ExpressSpellChecker

• The "Spelling Options" dialog does not resize to fit its localized UI elements.

ExpressSpreadSheet

• Any cell navigation keystroke that includes the Home key always considers A1 as a worksheet's origin instead of the first cell in the scrollable worksheet area.
• Conditional formatting rules applicable only to cells with numeric values do not affect cells containing Date/Time values.
• The DAYS, DAYS360, NETWORKDAYS, NETWORKDAYS.INTL, WORKDAY, WORKDAY.INTL and YEARFRAC functions always use the 1900 Date System ignoring the control's settings.
• The worksheet's OptionsPrint.Page.FitToWidth and OptionsPrint.Page.FitToHeight properties are initialized to incorrect values on loading an XLSX file.
