What's new in eXG2antt 8.1.0.3

Aug 6, 2014
  • Added: The CreateBar(Item,Start,End) event is fired if the user starts creating a bar on a empty/non-items zone, with Item parameter as a negative-value. In other words, if the Item parameter of the CreateBar event is negative, its absolute value indicates the number of items to be added from the last visible item, so it fits the clicked part of the chart. For instance, CreateBar(-3,Start,End) indicates that a 3 more items should be added so it covers the clicked zone. The control automatically adds new items and creates the newly bar on the last added item, if the Chart.AllowCreateBar property is exCreateBarAuto, else if it is exCreateBarManual, the user needs to add a new item, and adds a new bar using the Items.AddItem and Items.AddBar methods.

  • Fixed: Scrolling the chart, moving or resizing a bar does not stop if the user releases the mouse button outside of the chart ( /WPF version only )
  • Fixed: The BarResize event is not called for affected bars during the SchedulePDM, if the SchedulePDM methid is called during the BarResizing/BarResize event
  • NEW: Precedence Diagramming Method ( PDM or scheduling activities in a project plan )
  • Added: Items.SchedulePDM( Item, Key ) method schedules the bars in the chart starting from giving bar, using PDM

  • Added: ChartEndChanging(exPDM) event is fired when the PDM scheduling ends
  • Fixed: Improves the speed of collecting non-working parts of the chart ( visible when zooming )

  • Fixed: Limits the margins of the bar to exBarMinStart, exBarMaxStart, exBarMinEnd, exBarMaxEnd attributes when the user moves grouped or summary bars
  • Fixed: Prevents moving the bars outside its margins ( if specified using exBarMinStart, exBarMaxStart, exBarMinEnd, exBarMaxEnd attributes), by code using the Items.ItemBar(exBarMove) property
  • Fixed: The Chart.RemoveSelection method fires AccessViolationException (attempted to read or write protected memory) if removing bars being included in summary bars
  • Fixed: The chart takes longer time to display non-working parts, if the Count property of the base level is not 1
  • Fixed: Adjusts the Chart.FirstVisibleDate property based on the Level.Count property when the user left scrolls the chart, if the Chart.ShowNonworkingUnits property is False, and the Level.Count property is greater than 1

  • Fixed: Updates visually the summary bar area when Items.UndefineSummaryBars or Items.DefineSummaryBars method is called, outside of the BeginUpdate/EndUpdate statement
  • NEW: The 'in' function in computing formulas increases significantly the time to evaluate it. For instance, if you have the formula such us 'value = 1 or value = 2 or value = 22 or value = 45 or value = 12', ... you can have the 'value in (1, 2, 22, 45, 12)'. In other words, if the set contains about 1000 elements for instance, the evaluator takes max 8 checking to determine if the specified value fits the set, else requires 1000 checking is required to verify each or condition in the sequence
  • NEW: The 'switch' function similar with 'in' function retrieves the value being found in the collection, or a default value if the element is not found. The first element in the collection is the result being returned by 'switch' function when the value is not found in the collection, else the 'switch' returns the value itself. All elements in the collection MUST be constant values. For instance, the "value switch ('not found', 11, 23, 45, 129, 123,99)" means that if the value is 33, the 'not found' string is returned, while if the value is 45, the switch returns 45
  • NEW: The 'case()' function includes any number of case instances. A 'case' instance may contains a statement that is executed once the value is found in the 'case' collection. The 'case' unary operator gets the value being specified by respective statement or the value itself. For instance, the 'int(value) case (1 : value + 1 ; 2 : value * 2)' specifies that if the value is 1 the statement returns 2, while if the value is 2, the statement returns 4, and for any other value it returns the value itself. Also the 'case()' can be used with 'switch' as for instance "%0 switch ('not found',11,22,33,44,55) case (11 : %0 + %1 ; 22 : %1 * 1.19; 33 : len(str(%0)))" indicates that if the value in the column 0 is 11, the result will be the sum between first column and second column, else if the value is 22 the result is the second column value multiplied by 1.19, else if the value is 33 the return is the length of the value in the first cell, if the value is 44 or 55, the result is 44 or 55, while for any other value the result will be 'not found'. The 'in', 'switch' and 'case()' increases significantly the speed to evaluate constant values instead using 'and', 'or' operators to build complicated formulas that could be time consuming

The elements of the collection should be constants. The 'in' function is available for properties such us: Bar.ShowHistogramValues, Chart.CondInsideZoom, Column.ComputedField, Column.FormatColumn, ConditionalFormat.Expression, Level.FormatLabel, Items.ItemNonworkingUnits
  • Fixed: The Items.RemoveAllItems method releases the occupied memory too
