Simula il movimento con accoppiamenti di assemblaggio precisi

Marzo 26, 2025
Eyeshot 2025 consente di definire il modo in cui i componenti si muovono insieme, semplificando la modellazione e il test del comportamento meccanico in tempo reale.

Eyeshot by devDept Software empowers you to integrate robust CAD functionalities into your .NET applications. Supporting both Windows Forms and WPF natively, it offers a comprehensive suite of tools accessible through the Visual Studio toolbox. These include design for 2D/3D geometry creation and editing, drawing for automatic 2D view generation, simulation for geometry validation, and manufacture for CNC toolpath generation and simulation.

The Eyeshot 2025 release introduces Assembly Mates, enabling developers to define geometric relationships between components in a 3D assembly. As each mate is added, it restricts specific degrees of freedom, guiding how parts can move or rotate relative to each other. This makes it possible to simulate and visualize mechanical behavior in real time, offering a clearer understanding of component interaction before finalizing design constraints. By integrating mates directly into the modeling workflow, Eyeshot now supports a more dynamic and precise assembly modeling experience for engineering and CAD applications.

Eyeshot is licensed per developer and is available as an annual license, with either Lite or Priority support. See our licensing pages for Eyeshot Pro, Eyeshot Ultimate, and Eyeshot Fem for full details.

Ottimizza l'input dei dati nelle griglie WinForms .NET

Marzo 21, 2025
Utilizza le celle AutoComplete per migliorare l'immissione dei dati grazie a suggerimenti in base al contesto, riducendo lo sforzo dell'utente e diminuendo la probabilità di errori.

An AutoComplete cell type in a grid control facilitates efficient data entry by providing predictive suggestions as users type, drawing from a predefined data source to minimize errors and enhance user experience. This functionality, often implemented via lookup editors, custom cell editors, or event handling, streamlines data input by displaying a dropdown list of matching values, allowing for quick selection and reducing typing effort, ultimately contributing to faster and more accurate data management within the application.

Several .NET WinForms grid controls enable the AutoComplete cell type including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Data Grid (part of DevExpress WinForms) enhances user input with an AutoComplete Cell Type, providing real-time suggestions from bound data sources.
  • True DBGrid for WinForms (part of ComponentOne Studio WinForms by MESCIUS) improves data entry efficiency with AutoComplete cells, minimizing errors by offering context-aware suggestions.
  • Telerik UI for WinForms GridView (part of Telerik UI for WinForms) enables seamless data selection with AutoComplete cells, reducing typing effort through intelligent, customizable predictions.
  • Infragistics WinDataGrid (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for Windows Forms) optimizes UX with the AutoComplete cell type, simplifying structured input by dynamically displaying relevant choices.

Genera e personalizza codici a barre nelle app WinForms

Marzo 18, 2025
Crea e integra rapidamente codici a barre in più formati, semplificando la codifica dei dati per le tue applicazioni software.

Barcode generation involves creating visual representations of data encoded in standardized barcode formats. This feature provides developers with the ability to programmatically produce barcodes, such as QR codes or Code 128, that can be displayed, printed, or exported. Integrating barcode generation simplifies the process of embedding machine-readable information into documents or physical items, allowing applications to automate data transfer, facilitate inventory tracking, and improve overall data management by enabling the creation of easily scannable identifiers.

Several WinForms UI Suites feature a barcode component including:

  • DevExpress WinForms allows you to generate diverse barcode symbologies with comprehensive customization, enabling seamless integration of machine-readable data.
  • ComponentOne Studio WinForms by MESCIUS facilitates barcode generation, providing developers the means to embed various barcode types into their software.
  • Infragistics Ultimate UI for Windows Forms provides developers with barcode generation controls, enabling the creation of scannable data representations within their applications.
  • Nevron Open Vision for .NET enables the creation of graphical barcodes, supporting varied symbologies, to enhance data encoding and retrieval in .NET applications.

Migliora la visibilità dei fogli di calcolo con il supporto Zoom

Marzo 11, 2025
Consenti agli utenti di concentrarsi sui dati dettagliati dei fogli di calcolo o di ottenere una panoramica più ampia, soddisfacendo le diverse esigenze visive e i requisiti di analisi.

Zooming in a spreadsheet component refers to the ability to scale the displayed content, effectively increasing or decreasing the visible size of cells, data, and gridlines. This feature allows users to adjust the level of detail shown, enabling them to gain a broader overview or focus on specific data segments. Developers implement this to enhance user experience by providing flexibility in data visualization, improving accessibility for users with varying visual needs, and facilitating efficient data analysis through customized display levels.

Several WinForms spreadsheet controls offer support for zooming including:

  • Spread.NET WinForms (part of Spread.NET by MESCIUS) provides deep zoom controls, enabling precise magnification for detailed analysis and effortless data inspection.
  • DevExpress WinForms Spreadsheet (part of DevExpress WinForms) allows zooming, scaling content smoothly for optimal readability, and adapting to various screen resolutions.
  • MindFusion.Spreadsheet for WinForms facilitates flexible zoom levels, empowering users to adjust views for focused data entry or comprehensive overview.
  • Syncfusion WinForms Spreadsheet (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) offers responsive zooming, ensuring clarity for intricate data sets.
