            Donald, this is a useful upgrade. Harveyballs are a great addition and also multiple selection on xtremews was something I was looking for since quite some time now. Thanks for the awesome components.

            Hi Donald,

            thanks for sharing this components! Especially the multiple selection within the XTree control will be useful in some of my projects!

            nice to see Update and bug-fix's on the Free xcomponent, some of your sample gave me good food for thought on various visualization.

            Antivia.com seems to be down. Is there any other way to get a copy of the xComponents?

            the link www.antivia.com/xcomponents.html
            is working for me, try again.

            Hi Donald,

            I am trying to get the link from Antivia. I did register at their site to download the components but my account is not being approved and I am unable to download.

            Can you suggest an alternate download location.

            Thanks & Regards

            Ishaq

            How do you use the Harvey Balls component? I can only get an all-white or an all-black view to show up... seems that an even number makes it white and an odd number makes it black but I can't show anything inbetween. Just trying to display a Harvey Ball based on a number 0-9 but must have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the component works.

            Donald MacCormick said...

            You need to use fractional values, a quarter filled ball needs a value of 0.25, a half filled ball a value of 0.5 etc

            Thanks for the Xcomponents! They are great! How do I assign a middle alert value in the XScorecard? Also, can I change the alerts values/ranges in the XScorecard?

            has anyone else had trouble with custom widths in xscorecard? I have binded it, then the first column is wide enough, but it intermittently resets all columns to the same width. any ideas how this works?

            Abdul said...

            Man xtree+XtreeGrid is what I have been looking for but I wonder how it works. I am finding it difficult to
            1. Multi node tree like the one in default
            2. How to link this tree to other xcelsius components for drilldown

            Can anybody help with example please.

            Take a look at the video at :-

            http://www.screencast.com/t/8LJMzOysZv

            it explains some of the concepts.

            Communication with other components is achieved through the "selected value" property.

            Hope that helps
