Iocomp patches .NET WinForms Ultra Pack

April 12, 2010
Patch Release

Iocomp .NET WinForms Ultra Pack The Iocomp .NET WinForms Ultra Pack controls were written in 100% managed C# and take full advantage of GDI+. They produce instrumentation controls with professional looks and tight integration into Microsoft's .NET Framework. Custom Property Editors provide fast-and-simple configuration eliminating arduous property window searching. The Ultra Pack comes with 55 Instrumentation Professional Pack Controls plus the Plot Pack Component.

Updates in V4.0 SP1

  • Added MasterUISlave property to the Plot Axis objects.
  • Modified property editor value Edit boxes to squash all exceptions due to invalid inputs. After the exception is squashed, the Edit box will return to the previous valid value.
  • Added new XValueTextDateTimeFormat property to the Plot control. This property allows you to specify if x-value is formatted in Double or DateTime format when saving or copying data to the clipboard. When setting this property to DateTime, the x-axis text formatting style property must also be set to DateTime or DateTimeUTC.
  • Added new GetXText method to all plot channels. This method is in support of the XValueTextDateTimeFormat property mentioned previously.
  • Upgraded Plot Differential channel drawing routines to support null data-points.
  • Added horizontal scrolling to all Iocomp property editor listbox controls. The horizontal scrollbar only appears when the width of an item exceeds the width of the display area.
  • Added logic to the design-time property editor to auto-increment the OPCGroup object's Name property when a new one is added.
  • Changed the default value for the OPCItem's Name property to be "Item???". This is to help remind the developer to set the value.
  • Upgraded the MatrixButton control to support buttons with a momentary style. The MatrixButtonStyle enumeration has a new value called MomentaryButton. Use the Style property on the MatrixButton class to specify its type. The MatrixButton class also has a new property called Value, which is of type ValueBoolean. When the button's Style is set to MomentaryButton, and the mouse left button is depressed over the MatrixButton, the MatrixButton Value property will changed to True. When the mouse is released, the Value property will return to False. When connecting an OPC-Link to the MatrixButton, be sure to specify the Value.AsBoolean sub-property (Example, the OPC-Link PropertyName setting would be "Buttons(1).Value.AsBoolean". The "Buttons(1)" portion specifies the second button in the Button collection (Zero Based Index), and use "Value.AsBoolean" as the property on the button class).
  • Added Cubic-Spline, Polynomial, and Rational channel types to the Plot control.
