Released: Dec 23, 2021

Updates in 2021.R2

Features

MindFusion.Diagramming

• Scrollable containers - You can now set the ContainerNode Scrollable property to let users scroll a container's contents.
• Container improvements
  • ContainerNode containment is no longer implemented via a Group object. Child nodes are now stored in the dedicated Children collection and a node's container is returned by the Container property.
  • Added the ClipChildren property which specifies whether to clip child items to container’s boundaries.
  • You can now enable the AutoDeleteChildren property to automatically delete child nodes when a container is deleted.
  • Drag-and-drop operations from NodeListView, ShapeListBox and ShapeToolBar now automatically add the newly created node to a container if one is found at the drop position.
  • You can now call the ResizeToFitChildren method to resize a container, making it big enough to contain its child nodes.
  • The FoldedSize property of ContainerNode now specifies the container's size when it is folded.
  • The KeepInsideParent constraint of child nodes now also prevents them from overlapping the container's caption bar.
• Miscellaneous
  • ArrangeAsync method is now available in CoreCLR assemblies (Microsoft .NET Core 3 and .NET 5).
  • The EnumAllPaths method of PathFinder now yields each path immediately when found.
• API changes
  • Container's child nodes are no longer accessible via SubordinateGroup. Use the container's Children collection instead.
  • A node's container is no longer accessible via MasterGroup. Use the Container property instead.
  • Child nodes are now also children of their Container in the WPF visual tree, instead of the Diagram, which could affect code that relies on VisualTreeHelper API.

MindFusion.Spreadsheet

• Custom format strings can now contain color names in square brackets, compatible with Microsoft Excel color specifiers.
• Extended the set of expression types in which blank cells are promoted to zeros or empty strings when referenced from formulas.
• Names of named ranges can now include backslash and question mark symbols.
