Winforms VB.Net图表演示 VS2022 — VS2019

• Note 1. For VS2022 we recommend our x64 assemblies else the first time our AnyCpu assembly is added to the Toolbar and a chart is placed on a form, VS2022 should be running with Admin privileges. Subsequent use will not require privileges.
• 1. With the Designer window having focus, Click the [Toolbox] vertical tab,
• 2. Right Click the area below the [General] tab,
• 3. Select [Add Tab],
• 4. Enter [Gigasoft] for the tab's name,
• 5. Right Click the area below new [Gigasoft] tab,
• 6. Select [Choose Items...],
• 7. If not selected, left click the [.NET Framework Components] tab,
• 8. Left click the [Browse...] button and find the file "Gigasoft.ProEssentials.dll" found in our \DotNet48\x64 subfolder where you installed ProEssentials. By default, this should be located at "C:\ProEssentials9\DotNet48\x64",
• 9. Select the file "Gigasoft.ProEssentials.dll" and close the [Open File] dialog,
• 10. The [Choose Toolbox Items] dialog should now show 5 highlighted controls: Pe3do, Pego, Pepco, Pepso, and Pesgo.
• 11. Close dialog and 5 ProEssentials components will show within the Gigasoft tab as shown in the bottom right image.
• Note 2. Attemping to add our x86 assembly (DotNet48\x86) to the VS2022 toolbox will result in an error as the VS2022 designer is 64 bit.
• Note 3. When deploying your finished project and prefer to support AnyCpu, x64 or x86, close the Designer window, in Solution Explorer remove Reference and replace with any of our other References. The project will now support compiling as AnyCpu, x64, or x86 that matches the Reference added. To again add our charts to a form via the Designer, change Reference to our x64 assembly.

• Note 1. The first time our AnyCpu assembly is added to the Toolbar and a chart is placed on a form, VS2019 should be running with Admin privileges. Subsequent use will not require privileges. You may optionally install our assembly within the \DotNet48\x86 subfolder which does not require first time Admin privileges however adjust the Project Build setting Platform/CPU Target to x86.
• 1. With the Designer window having focus, Click the [Toolbox] vertical tab,
• 2. Right Click the area below the [General] tab,
• 3. Select [Add Tab],
• 4. Enter [Gigasoft] for the tab's name,
• 5. Right Click the area below new [Gigasoft] tab,
• 6. Select [Choose Items...],
• 7. If not selected, left click the [.NET Framework Components] tab,
• 8. Left click the [Browse...] button and find the file "Gigasoft.ProEssentials.dll" found in our \DotNet48\AnyCpu subfolder where you installed ProEssentials. By default, this should be located at "C:\ProEssentials9\DotNet48\AnyCpu",
• 9. Select the file "Gigasoft.ProEssentials.dll" and close the [Open File] dialog,
• 10. The [Choose Toolbox Items] dialog should now show 5 highlighted controls: Pe3do, Pego, Pepco, Pepso, and Pesgo.
• 11. Close dialog and 5 ProEssentials components will show within the Gigasoft tab as shown in the bottom right image.
• Note 2. Attemping to add our x64 assembly located in \DotNet48\x64 to VS2019 and earlier toolbox will result in an error as the VS2019 designer is 32 bit.
• Note 3. When deploying your finished project and prefer to change the target to x64, or x86, close the Designer window, in Solution Explorer remove our Reference and replace with any of our other References. The project will now support compiling as x64, x86 or AnyCpu that matches the Reference added. To again add our charts to a form via the Designer, change Reference to our AnyCpu or x86 assemblies.

4) Double click the [Pego] tool within the toolbox. This places an instance of the Pego component within "Form1.vb".

Left click bottom-right corner of control and drag down-right to fill up client area of Form1. The adjacent image shows what you see.

Left click the pego control within Form1 to give it the focus.

From the main menu select [View] and [Properties Window]

Within the [Properties Window], scroll and locate the Layout section and then the Dock item.

Modify the Dock setting by clicking the center section or 'Fill' mode.

5) We recommend setting the parent Form's versions of back color, font, etc properties as ProEssentials will use the parent form's settings to help facilitate a uniform look among sibling controls.

We also recommend coding your property settings as this creates a record for you and others as to what settings are being used. And you might be able to re-use this code in other areas for other charts.

If new to VB.Net, the (Name) property is probably the most fundamental property as its name is reflected in all code. For example: Pego1.PeData.Subsets = 1 is a line of code, and it shows how the (Name) property (Pego1) starts the line.

7) The code above enabled the DataHotSpot event, so we should place some appropriate code in the DataHotSpot event.

Left click the pego control within Form1 to give it the focus.

From the main menu select [View] and [Properties Window]

Within the [Properties Window], click the event icon.

Within the available events, double-click PeDataHotSpot

This opens the code view of "Form1.vb" with cursor within the pego1.PeDataHotSpot event handler.

8) Save and run the project. Your project will show an image as follows. Move the mouse over a bar and click to trigger the DataHotSpot event.

This completes this walkthrough.

Please read the remaining sections within Chapter 2 and review the demo code and documentation that's installed with the eval/product.

Once installed, the demo program can be accessed via shortcut...

Start / ProEssentials v9 / PeDemo

Note that our main charting demo is replicated in WPF and Winform C#.NET,  VB.NET, VC++ MFC, Delphi, Builder all accessible from where you installed ProEssentials.   These are great for modifying an existing demo to test potential modifications before implementing within your applications.
