删除线注释清楚地标记 PDF 中的删除或编辑，有助于团队更有效地协作和审查文档。

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:

用可视化仪表突出显示关键指标

以生动的视觉效果在报表中显示关键指标，该视觉效果显示性能是否符合计划、超出预期或需要紧急采取行动。

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.

在网格界面中清晰显示进度

.NET WinForms 网格中的 ProgressBar 单元格提供了一种直接的可视化方式来显示结构化表格布局中任务或数据的完成情况。

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.
