MindFusion.WinForms Pack 2021.R1

• Microsoft .NET 5 support - The MindFusion.WinForms Pack distribution now includes assemblies for .NET 5. Locally installed assemblies do not appear automatically in Microsoft Visual Studio toolbox at this time. You can either add them manually or through Nuget package manager.

MindFusion.Diagramming

• Scrollable containers - You can now set the ContainerNode Scrollable property to let users scroll a container's contents.
• Container improvements
  • ContainerNode containment is no longer implemented via a Group object. Child nodes are now stored in the dedicated Children collection and a node's container is returned by the Container property.
  • You can now enable the AutoDeleteChildren property to automatically delete child nodes when a container is deleted.
  • Drag-and-drop operations from NodeListView, ShapeListBox and ShapeToolBar now automatically add the newly created node to a container if one is found at the drop position.
  • You can now call the ResizeToFitChildren method to resize a container, making it big enough to contain its child nodes.
  • The KeepInsideParent constraint of child nodes now also prevents them from overlapping the container's caption bar.
• Lasso zoom tool - The control now supports several ways to zoom using lasso tool:
  • You can set the Behavior property to Zoom, to always draw zoom lasso.
  • You can set the Zoom flag for one of the keys in ModifierKeyActions to let users draw a zoom-lasso with a respective modifier key and the left mouse button pressed.
  • You can assign Zoom value to RightButtonActions or MiddleButtonActions property to zoom using the respective mouse button.
• CompositeNode JSON templates - CompositeNode templates can now be defined in JSON format compatible with MindFusion JavaScript diagramming library.
• Miscellaneous
  • The InitializeLasso event now lets you customize appearance of selection lasso before it shows on screen.
