Reports for WinForms 4.6.20111.54308

Breaking Changes and Improvements

• IMPORTANT NOTE for existing apps using the preview controls: If your existing form contains a C1PreviewPane (not the integrated C1PrintPreviewControl) AND a status bar created via the preview pane's designer action item, the form's InitializeComponent() method (usually contained in the form's .Designer.cs code file) must be manually updated, specifically the ToolStripProgressBar and ToolStripStatusLabel used by the preview must be assigned tags using the following lines: this.C1PreviewPane1_progressBar.Tag = "C1PreviewProgressBar"; this.C1PreviewPane1_statusText.Tag = "C1PreviewStatusLabel"; otherwise the progress bar and status might not work correctly.
• C1PreviewFileActions.FileOpen() method overloads now return object type (previously, they returned C1PrintDocument; this was changed to support C1MultiDocument).
• ComponentOne OLAP licensing was added.

New Features

• A New Component was added in this release: C1.C1Preview.C1MultiDocument. C1MultiDocument is designed to allow creating, persisting and exporting large documents that cannot be handled by a single C1PrintDocument object due to memory limitations. C1MultiDocument supports links between contained documents, common TOC and word index, continuous page numeration and total page count. For more information about C1MultiDocument, please see the Reports for WinForms documentation.
• .NET 4.0 version only: Export to XPS (XML Paper Specification) is now supported in WinForms build (C1MultiDocument is not yet supported).
• The following methods were added to C1Report to improve handling of large reports:
  • public IEnumerable GetPageImages(); Enumerates page images (represented by metafiles) of the generated report. Using this method in a "foreach" loop allows to iterate over all pages of a large report without exhausting system resources. This approach is preferable to PageImages property that creates images for all pages and can consume a large amount of resources. Returns: An IEnumerable that allows to iterate over the page images.
  • public Metafile GetPageImage(int pageIndex); Gets a metafile representing the specified page. pageIndex: 0-based page index. Returns: The metafile representing the page.
  • public int GetPageCount(); Gets the total number of pages in the generated report. Returns: The total page count.
• The C1Report.PageImages property has been marked as obsolete as using the new methods described above is preferable.
• New public property added on C1PrintDocument:
  • public PageNumberingChange PageNumberingChange {get;set;} Gets or sets the PageNumberingChange object applied to the first page of the document.
• Added support for the latest RTF implementation from Microsoft if that is available on the system: RTF window class: RICHEDIT60W, provided by riched20.dll shipped with MS Office 2007.
• New public static property added to C1.C1Preview.C1PrintOptions class:

C1PrintOptions.MsPrintDocumentPrintEmfType {get;set;} Gets or sets the type of metafiles used when printing standard .NET PrintDocument documents. The default is EmfType.EmfPlusDual. If your printer needs to scan the output for data (for example, a fax number; a case in point is Tobit Faxware) and fails, try setting this to EmfType.EmfOnly. Note that this property ONLY affects printing of standard .NET PrintDocument documents, and has no bearing on other supported document types.

• Added support for C1MultiDocument (extension .c1mdx) in preview.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: wrong page size when exporting Custom Paper Size report sample to RTF (in part this is a limitation of the RTF format).
• Fixed: incorrect export to PDF if C1Report.EmfType is EmfPlusOnly.

• Fixed: progress not shown when exporting a document via ProgressForm.
• Fixed: incorrect export of external links specified via LinkTarget in report fields to PDF.
• C1Report: fixed incorrect rendering of Asian text with text direction up.
• C1PrintDocument: fixed blurred rendering of RenderBarCode. NOTE: *C1PrintDocument.EmfType MUST BE SET to EmfOnly for pixel-perfect rendering of bar codes. This is a limitation that will be removed in one of future releases.
• Wrong "Source Tray" value (always "Upper") was used by default with printers that have different default (for example, "Auto"). Fixed.
• C1Report: in some cases report generation would froze if they contained a subreport with CanGrow set to false. Fixed.
• C1Report: Code128 barcode was generated with a low resolution and could not be scanned. Fixed.
• C1Report: when RecordsPerPage was set, a blank page was sometimes added to the end of the generated report. Fixed.
• C1Report: Field text aligned incorrectly if TextDirection was not Normal. Fixed.
• C1Report: unexpected page break could be added after a report header if it contained a subreport. Fixed.
• Fixed: in some scenarios, page number hyperlinks (such as in a TOC) in a C1MultiDocument showed "[LPN]" instead of the actual page numbers, and did not work when clicked, even after the whole document was generated.
• Fixed: status labels added to a status strip on a form that also contains a C1PrintPreviewControl might disappear both at design time (after reloading the designer) and at run time.
• Fixed several minor scrolling issues in non-continuous mode.

Schedule for WinForms 2.0.20111.156

Breaking Changes

• C1Schedule.FirstVisibleTime property has been marked as obsolete. Use C1ScheduleSettings.FirstVisibleTime property instead.
• Removed old obsolete properties ScheduleTheme.BackGround and ScheduleTheme.BackGround2. Use ScheduleTheme.CurrentPalette property instead.

New Features

• Added new property to the Appointment class:

public Contact Owner {get; set; }

Gets or sets the Contact object which owns current Appointment object.

The default value is null.

• The AppointmentStorage object supports new optional mappings which allow to set either OwnerIndexMapping or OwnerIdMapping. For an example, look at the updated MultiUser sample.
• Added grouping support. The C1Schedule control supports grouping by resources, contacts, categories and by the Appointment.Owner property value. All C1Schedule vies and visual styles support grouping and contain UI for navigation between groups. The new Grouping sample demonstrates C1Schedule grouping functionality. Default printing styles and PrintDocTemplates sample have been updated to honor new grouping feature. MultiUser sample have been updated as well.
• New classes were added to support grouping:

public class ScheduleGroupItem Holds all the data required for displaying individual UI part for the single resource, category or contact when the C1Schedule.GroupBy property is set, or default UI otherwise.

public class ScheduleGroupItemCollection : C1ObservableCollection Represents a collection of the ScheduleGroupItem objects.

• New properties were added to the C1Schedule control to support grouping:
  • public string GroupBy { get; set; } Gets or sets the string value determining the type of grouping. The default value is an empty string.
  • public bool ShowGroupNavigation { get; set; } Gets or sets the Boolean value determining whether the C1Schedule control should display group navigation buttons. The default value is true. This property only makes sense when the GroupBy property is set.
  • public bool ShowEmptyGroupItem { get; set; } Gets or sets the Boolean value determining whether the C1Schedule control should display an empty group item. This property only makes sense when the GroupBy property is set. If this property is set to True, the C1Schedule control will display a group item without assigned owner (resource, contact or category). This group item will contain all appointments, which don't fall into other group items. The default value is false.
  • public string EmptyGroupName { get; set; } Gets or sets a String value used as default value for the ScheduleGroupItem.Name property. The default value is "Calendar".
  • public ScheduleGroupItemCollection GroupItems { get; } Gets a collection of all available GroupItem objects for the currently set type of grouping.
  • public ScheduleGroupItemCollection VisibleGroupItems { get; } Gets a collection of currently visible GroupItem objects.
  • public bool IsGrouped { get; } Gets a Boolean value determining whether grouping has been set for the C1Schedule control.
  • public ScheduleGroupItem SelectedGroupItem { get; } Gets the selected ScheduleGroupItem object or returns null if the selection is empty.
  • public int GroupPageSize { get; set; } Gets or sets the Integer value determining the maximum number of the ScheduleGroupItem objects displayed in UI at the same time. Increasing this value might affect performance. The default value is 2.
• New C1Schedule method to support grouping: public void NavigateToScheduleGroup(int increment); Navigates the C1Schedule control back or forth to another ScheduleGroupItem object by the specified increment.
• Added new check box in the PrintOptionsForm. It allows to select whether to print all appointments or appointment from the currently selected group item only. If you use localized version of the C1Schedule control, make sure that you added new string there.
• Added new property to the C1Schedule control: public Comparison delegate which is used by the C1Schedule control to sort appointments in the Month and Office 2003 Week views. By default C1Schedule performs comparison with the new C1Schedule.Compare(Appointment x, Appointment y) method. This method compares appointments by the Appointment.Start property and then (if start time is the same) by the Appointment.Subject property. You can alter this behavior by supplying custom comparison.
• Added C1Calendar.BeforeDayFormat event. Use this event to alter default day appearance.
• Added Office 2010 Visual Styles for the C1Calendar and C1Schedule controls: Office 2010 Blue, Office 2010 Black, and Office 2010 Silver.
• Added the ability to change C1Schedule navigation panels and week tabs appearance from the C1Schedule Visual Style Smart Designer.
• Added new property to the C1Schedule class: C1ScheduleSettings Settings { get; }. The C1ScheduleSettings class determines auxiliary properties providing different C1Schedule object settings: AllowContactsEditing, AllowContactsMultiSelection, AllowResourcesEditing, AllowResourcesMultiSelection, AllowCategoriesEditing, AllowCategoriesMultiSelection, FirstVisibleTime, AutoScrollToFirstAppointment, SetReminder, and ReminderTimeBeforeStart. Default value for all AllowXXX properties is True. AppointmentForm and list editing forms honor above settings of the C1Schedule control.

Improvements

• Corrected Appointment element keyboard and mouse behavior:
  • single click on the Appointment element selects appointment
