CADMAI adds 2D UI Objects

Thu, 05 May 2011 17:29:00 GMT

A CAD system built using CADMAI.

Version 4.2 introduces a new type of basic object which support the design of 2D user interfaces.

Updates in 4.2

2D UI Objects
Version 4.2 introduces a new type of basic objects which support the design of 2D user interfaces.
These UI objects can be used in combination with the geometric objects (lines, solids,...) and non geometric objects (layer, variables,...)

The following UI objects are currently available:

2D buttons
Images
2D Text

These 2D UI objects are stored in a CADMAI model and are presented parallel to the 3D objects. This technology can be used to create user interfaces which combine 2D and 3D objects. A sample which uses a mixed 2D / 3D user interface which is optimized for touch input on taplett PC's is included.

Support of multi touch gestures
Under Windows 7 multi touch gestures for panning, zooming and rotating are supported for all CADMAI windows on touch screens.

Web Browser Plug-in
Beside the ActiveX and the DotNet control version 4.2 provides a web browser plug-in, which can be used for Firefox and other web browsers.

New Actions
Beside the UI Objects the following new actions have been defined:

3D intersection point Line Face (p_int_line_solidface)
Mass center of solid (p_solid_center)
Contour from section (named_contour_sectucs)
Set entity action parameter via an animation command (anim_edit_par)
Restore entity color (ent_restore_color)
Recursive save operation for assemblies (CMD_RECURSIVE_SAVE)
Reset operation of the active window incl. component unload (CMD_RESET)
Reload operation for the active model from hard disk (CMD_RELOAD_FROM_DISK)
Component activation out of the "Loaded Component list"

Adds 3 new chart types, Ternary, Doughnut and Torus and a new Linear Gauge.

BCGSuite for MFC includes a Grid and Report controls, Calculator , Planner (outlook style calendar), Gantt Control, Advanced Edit Control with IntelliSense, Syntax Highlighting, MDI Tab Control and many more controls and features like Office XP / 2000 / 2003 / 2007 Look and Feel, Vista Aero Support or Skinned Dialogs and Forms. BCGSuite for MFC is intended for Visual C++ 2008 with Feature Pack or later.

Updates in V15.1

Chart Control:

The following new chart types were added:
- Ternary Chart
- Doughnut Chart
- Torus Chart
Added support for logarithmic scales of any base.
Added trend line support with the following built-in approximations (see a new class CBCGPChartTrendFormula):
- Linear
- Exponential
- Logarithmic
- Power
- Polynomial of order 2 - 6.
Transition (formula) support has been implemented in a new class CBCGPChartTransitionFormula. It can take several input series and generate data points using either built-in transitions (sum, diff, multiply, divide, average etc), or custom transitions (you can specify a callback implementing a custom formula).
Virtual series support allows to display any custom function on the diagram.
"Chart Objects" feature allows you to add annotation and other objects (like lines or colored zones) to a Chart or diagram. The following new classes were added for this feature:
- CBCGPChartObject
- CBCGPChartLineObject
- CBCGPChartRangeObject
- CBCGPChartTextObject
- CBCGPChartAxisMarkObject.
The main Chart controller (CBCGPChartVisualObject) provides the following helpers to allow you to add Chart Objects quickly using the following methods: AddChartObject, AddChartTextObject, AddChartLineObject, AddChartRangeObject and AddChartAxisMarkObject.
"Chart Effects" feature enables you to add interline coloring effects to a diagram. See new classes CBCGPChartBaseEffect, CBCGPChartInterLineColoringEffect.
Axes can display scroll bars. Use two new methods ShowScrollBar and SetAlwaysShowScrollBar defined in CBCGPChartAxis, or helpers defined in CBCGPChartVisualObject: ShowScrollBar (enables scroll bar for a given axis) and ShowScrollBars (enables scroll bars for all axes).
Linear Gauge has been added to the Gauges collection: the new class CBCGPLinearGaugeImpl implements the linear gauge. Please take a look at BCGPGaugesDemo to see the gauges in action.
Added ability to save/load Dialogs and Property Sheets window placements. The following methods have been added:
CBCGPDialog::EnableLoadWindowPlacement
CBCGPPropertySheet::EnableLoadWindowPlacement
Grid additions: Added Find support - the following new methods have been added to the CBCGPGridCtrl class:
- OpenFindReplaceDlg
- CloseFindReplaceDlg
- Find
- OnPrepareFindString
- OnTextNotFound
- OnTextFound
Added a new virtual method 'CBCGPGridCtrl::OnAfterInplaceEditCreated which is called right after the in-place edit has been created.

Fixes:

CBCGPGridCheckItem now can print a check mark.
Fixed painting of the right side of the grid header.
Fix in CBCGPGridCtrl::OnLButtonUp for disabled grid items.
Fixed a problem with drawing rotated texts using CBCGPGraphicsManagerGDI.
Fixed problem with drawing dates with year less than 1900 in CBCGPDateTimeCtrl and CBCGPCalendar under VS 2005 and higher.
