機能

• .NET 9 Support
  • .NET apps will have even more modular flexibility and improved performance.
  • As with previous versions of .NET, there are often sweeping changes and issues across the entire .NET stack. The MESCIUS team has been diligently working with every .NET 9 preview this past year to address these changes before they reach users. This includes changes to the drag-and-drop cursor, clipboard, and binary serialization in several of their libraries.
  • Please note that, like .NET 7, MESCIUS are not providing .NET 9-targeted packages. Their plan is to only offer the LTS (long-term support) versions as packages. They have ensured .NET 9 support in their .NET 8 packages.
• Office 365 Themes for WinForms - Production Ready.
  • Microsoft Office 365 themes for Windows Forms controls is now complete. These themes provide your desktop applications with the latest Windows software styles. There are several variations from which you can choose, including white, gray, dark, green, and colorful.
  • With the Theme Designer, you can also create your own themes based on the MESCIUS Office 365 Themes.
• Ribbon UI Automation and Accessibility Improvements
  • Enhanced WinForms Ribbon control to fully comply with the latest UI Automation tools, passing Microsoft Accessibility Insights. Screen readers, such as UI Recorder and Windows Narrator, can be used to understand the Ribbon components at runtime and provide insight to users and automation tools alike.
• FlexChart for WinForms Enhancements
  • New Built-in Zoom and Panning Behaviors - FlexChart for WinForms now offers an easier way to implement zooming and panning (translation). You can enable these features simply by adding an instance of the new behavior classes to the control. You can set the ZoomMode to scale the X, Y, or both axes.
  • New Column Heatmap Sample - The latest sample displays a bar chart with a color range signifying its value based on a condition with respect to a line chart.
  • Additional FlexChart Enhancements
    • New Trendline.GetRegressionStatistics() method, which returns statistical characteristics about the regression. For example, you can use this to get the R-squared value of the trend line generated by FlexChart.
    • New AnnotationLayer.DrawOnTop property that can be used to control the position of annotations on top or behind the plot elements. Use this property to display annotations behind the data points.
