让网格用户输入非拉丁字符

4月 17, 2024
支持输入法编辑器（IME）的网格控件允许用户生成其输入设备上本机不可用的字符。

An Input Method Editor (IME) facilitates the entry of complex characters and scripts not directly supported by standard keyboards, which is especially vital for languages with extensive character sets like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. When integrated into a grid component, an IME enables users to input text directly into data cells using phonetic or syllabic methods that are converted into the desired characters. This integration streamlines the data entry process in applications requiring multi-language support, significantly enhancing usability and efficiency. It simplifies the development of applications targeting global markets by providing native language input support, thereby improving the user experience and reducing the need for external language input tools.

Several WinForms grid components offer Input Method Editor (IME) support, including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Data Grid (part of DevExpress WinForms) includes an IME which is enabled when an end-user switches the desktop key input to a supported language.
  • FlexGrid for WinForms (part of ComponentOne Studio WinForms by MESCIUS) offers built-in IME support, facilitating efficient entry of complex characters in diverse languages.
  • Telerik UI for WinForms GridView (part of Telerik UI for WinForms) integrates IME capabilities, enabling straightforward input of extensive multilingual character sets.
  • Infragistics WinDataGrid (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for Windows Forms) also boasts input method editor support for effortless text input in globalized WinForms applications.

通过使用户能够在 3D 数据可视化中探索关系和模式，摆脱平面数据的限制。

3D charts excel at showcasing complex datasets with three variables. By adding depth, they allow viewers to grasp intricate relationships between these variables that might be difficult to decipher in a flat, 2D format. This enhanced visualization can reveal patterns and trends that would otherwise remain hidden, leading to a deeper understanding of the data.

Several WinForms Chart controls offer 3D charts including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Chart (part of DevExpress WinForms) allows you to create impressive 3D charts for in-depth data exploration.
  • ComponentOne Charts for WinForms (part of ComponentOne Studio WinForms by MESCIUS) offers interactive 3D visualizations to enhance your applications.

创建具有视觉吸引力的 3D 对象模拟

3月 21, 2024
Eyeshot 2024 添加 MultiFastMesh 功能，将所有模拟网格合并到一个实体中，并支持按需子网格可见性。

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 2024 release introduces MultiFastMesh, a solution specifically designed to address a prevalent challenge in CAD applications - visualizing complex 3D objects comprised of numerous sub-parts. Traditionally, merging these sub-parts into a single mesh enhances performance but eliminates control over individual sub-mesh visibility and color. MultiFastMesh bridges this gap, offering the combined benefits of efficient single-mesh rendering and the flexibility of maintaining control over individual sub-meshes.

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.
