在 WPF 数据网格中输入非拉丁字母

1月 27, 2026
对输入法编辑器（IME）的支持允许 WPF 应用程序直接在可编辑的网格组件中处理复杂脚本的文本输入。

Input Method Editor (IME) support refers to the capability of an application or control to correctly handle complex text input, particularly for languages that require composition, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. IME enables users to enter characters that are not directly available on a physical keyboard by converting sequences of keystrokes into the correct script, improving accessibility and usability for multilingual input. When applied to a data grid within an application, this capability ensures that users can reliably enter and edit multilingual text directly within grid cells without input loss or formatting issues. IME support in a data grid is especially valuable for applications that manage structured data across regions, as it allows accurate entry of names, descriptions, and other localized content while preserving normal grid behaviors such as editing, validation, and navigation.

Several WPF grid components include Input Method Editor support, including:

  • DevExpress WPF Data Grid (part of DevExpress WPF) supports multilingual input in grid cells, allowing users to enter complex characters as needed.
  • ComponentOne WPF FlexGrid (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF by MESCIUS) accommodates composed character entry for languages requiring input composition.
  • Infragistics Ultimate UI for WPF Data Grid (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for WPF) facilitates complex script input within grid cells for multilingual data entry.

Highcharts 12.5 添加对树状图的支持，实现了跨复杂数据的层级结构和相似性关系清晰可视化。

Highcharts is a JavaScript charting framework that allows web developers and data analysts to generate dynamic, visually appealing charts and graphs for websites and web applications. It can display a variety of chart types, including line, spline, area, column, bar, pie, scatter, and many more. Highcharts is well-known for its ease of use, rich documentation, and ability to handle huge datasets efficiently. Features include responsive design, accessibility support, and cross-browser compatibility. Its customization capabilities allow users to create bespoke data visualizations that increase engagement and provide insightful data presentations.

The Highcharts 12.5 update introduces dendrogram support, allowing developers to visualize hierarchical relationships and similarity levels directly within their charts using treegraph-based diagrams. This enhancement makes it easier to represent the output of hierarchical clustering algorithms, taxonomies, and other structured datasets in a clear and interpretable way. By mapping similarity or progression along an axis and using branch height to indicate relationships, developers can present complex hierarchical data more effectively.

To see a full list of what's new in 12.5, see our release notes.

Highcharts Core is licensed on an annual or perpetual basis, OEM licenses, and Advantage Renewals. It is licensed per Developer and has several license options including Internal, SaaS, SaaS+, and Self Hosted. See our Highcharts Core licensing page for full details.
