Platform Enhancements

WinForms

• FlexGrid Dynamic Grouping
  • Dynamic grouping automatically sorts the data, splits it into groups, and adds collapsible group rows above or below each group. The group rows may include aggregate values for one or more columns. Grouping can make this data easier to understand, navigate, and analyze. You can add grouping using the new GroupDescriptions property.

  • Dynamic grouping was expanded to include a Group Panel control, which enables run time grouping in FlexGrid. You can drag column headers into the panel to create groups, drag groups to new positions, and use the context menu to collapse all, expand all, or clear grouping.
• FlexGrid star-sizing
  • The latest version of the FlexGrid control for WinForms adds a powerful and convenient feature that has been available in other versions of the FlexGrid for quite a while: star-sizing. Star-sizing allows you to specify the width of a column with respect to the total width available.

You can continue to use DataEngine WebAPI to analyze very large datasets from varied sources. OLAP control is included in ComponentOne Studio Enterprise.
