FlexGrid Enhancements
FlexGrid Column Footers Enabled Fixed Column Summaries for WinForms
The footer row can be fixed or scrollable as the last row in the grid. Within the footer you can easily show aggregates like sum, average, min, max, etc. Footers can also show values based on expressions, such as calculations based on several columns (i.e., a grand total).
FlexGrid Custom Expressions
It is now finally possible to use custom expressions as subtotals in groups along with aggregates.
FlexPivot for WinForms Supports Group Ranges
Grouped ranges allow for custom grouping of data into binned ranges, such as Ages 10-20, Ages 21-39, Ages 40-59+, or you can now create yearly quarter groups with just a simple date field. You can create grouped ranges based upon string, numeric and date fields.
FlexChart Custom Data Filter Sample
They added a new sample that demonstrates using a FlexChart inside a DataFilter control as a custom filter. You can choose to filter the data by clicking on data points, adjust the time period by using the range bar, and filter the range selection by dragging the mouse. You can see this sample in action by downloading the WinForms Edition Samples.
FlexPie Multiple Pie Series
You can now use FlexPie to visualize more of your data in a single chart by creating multiple pie chart "series" using the same data source.
Icon Classes
The new C1Icon is a set of classes which generate monochromatic icons that can be tinted and resized easily, without all the pain points that bitmap-based icons have.
