Änderungen mit Durchstreichungen deutlich markieren

August 15, 2025
Durchgestrichene Anmerkungen gewährleisten eine deutliche Löschung oder Bearbeitung in PDFs und helfen Teams, effektiver zusammenzuarbeiten und Dokumente zu überprüfen.

At a high level, strikethrough annotations, also known as strikeout or line-through markups, enable reviewers to visually indicate deletions or corrections within PDF text while preserving the underlying content. This annotation type belongs to the broader category of text markup annotations, which also includes highlighting, underlining, and squiggly underlines. Developers can customize properties like color, opacity, and associated notes or author metadata. Strikethrough annotations support interactive use cases, such as insert/edit/delete, event handling, and rendering consistency across different rendering engines.

Several WinForms PDF controls offer support for strikethrough annotations including:

Hervorheben wichtiger Kennzahlen mit visuellen Messeinrichtungen

August 13, 2025
Präsentieren Sie wichtige Kennzahlen in Berichten mit anschaulichen Visualisierungen, die zeigen, ob die Leistung auf dem richtigen Weg ist, die Erwartungen übertrifft oder dringende Maßnahmen erforderlich sind.

A gauge is a visual reporting element, such as a dial, meter, or progress bar, designed to display a single metric’s value in relation to defined targets or thresholds. For software developers, gauges offer a quick and intuitive way to present key performance indicators, making it immediately clear whether performance is on track, exceeding expectations, or requires attention. By transforming raw data into a simple, at-a-glance visual, gauges reduce the need for users to analyze complex tables or charts, improve the readability of dashboards and reports, and support faster, more informed decision-making.

Several .NET Winforms Reporting controls include Gauges including:

  • DevExpress Reports (Multi-Platform) lets you add interactive gauges to reports, delivering instant visual feedback on KPIs across diverse platforms and devices.
  • Telerik Reporting allows you to integrate customizable gauges that clearly visualize performance metrics, enhancing clarity and speed of data-driven decisions.
  • Stimulsoft Reports.NET facilitates the creation of dynamic gauges, enabling quick interpretation of critical values and thresholds within professional, interactive reports.
  • FastReport .NET WinForms lets you embed visually engaging gauges, instantly conveying progress toward goals for efficient, results-focused report analysis.

Übersichtliche Darstellung des Fortschritts in Grid-Schnittstellen

August 1, 2025
ProgressBar-Zellen in .NET WinForms-Rastern bieten eine direkte visuelle Möglichkeit, die Aufgaben- oder Datenvervollständigung in strukturierten tabellarischen Layouts anzuzeigen.

ProgressBar cell types in a .NET WinForms grid control are specialized cells that visually represent progress or completion levels within a grid layout, using horizontal progress bars. These cells are particularly useful for tracking status indicators, such as task completion or data processing percentages, directly within tabular views. They provide a clear, immediate representation of numeric progress values, enhancing readability without requiring users to interpret raw numbers. For developers, integrating ProgressBar cells simplifies the task of conveying progress-related information in data-driven interfaces, offering a familiar and consistent user experience aligned with standard Windows Forms controls.

Several .NET WinForms grid controls offer ProgressBar cell type controls, including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Data Grid (part of DevExpress WinForms) lets you incorporate visually rich ProgressBar cells that clearly communicate task completion within complex data-driven interfaces.
  • True DBGrid for WinForms (part of ComponentOne Studio WinForms by MESCIUS) enables dynamic ProgressBar rendering in grid cells, ideal for tracking real-time metrics like processing or loading status.
  • Infragistics WinDataGrid (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for Windows Forms) supports ProgressBar cells that visually convey progress values, helping developers present real-time status within structured data views.
  • Bunifu UI WinForms DataGrid View (part of Bunifu UI WinForms) allows you to present completion states directly in grid rows using sleek ProgressBar cells for modern, responsive interfaces.

Spread.NET 18.2 verbessert das Layout der RibbonBar und die Klarheit der Symbole, um die Designpräzision und Anpassungsfähigkeit in WinForms-Anwendungen zu verbessern.

Spread.NET by MESCIUS is a powerful tool for building Excel-like applications in your .NET projects. It lets you create interactive spreadsheets, grids, dashboards, and even forms within WinForms, ASP.NET, and WPF applications. With its rich feature set, including a robust calculation engine, formula support, and Excel compatibility, Spread.NET empowers developers to build data analysis tools, budgeting apps, scientific dashboards, and more, all within the familiar .NET environment.
