DHTMLX 3.6 Released with New Great Features

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

We are excited to announce the long awaited release of DHTMLX 3.6. This update is aimed to fix the known bugs and improve stability and performance of the DHTMLX UI components. This release brings new features to dhtmlxForm and dhtmlxChart, and introduces a new component – dhtmlxPopup.

dhtmlxPopup

With this new UI component, the DHTMLX library allows you to save space on a page and display some additional information or UI element in a nice-looking JavaScript popup. dhtmlxPopup can be used as a simple tooltip or list, or it can include other DHTMLX component: form, grid, calendar, accordion, etc.

dhtmlxPopup - JavaScript Popup Box

You can attach the popup to any HTML object on a page. It is also natively integrated in the dhtmlxForm and dhtmlxToolbar components.

dhtmlxForm Improvements

We have added lots of small fixes and performance improvements in dhtmlxForm. Version 3.6 also supports the ability to add or remove form items on the fly. In addition, you can now dynamically set/clear field validation, notes and required fields in the form.

New Features in dhtmlxChart

We continue to improve our JavaScript charting library so the new version comes with the ability to display a combination of charts. You can combine different chart types (for example, line, bar, and area charts) on one chart. Another handy feature of chart combination is that you can show/hide the series of charts by clicking on chart names in the legend.

dhtmlxChart 3.6 - Combo Chart

dhtmlxChart 3.6 also allows you to set custom values for the horizontal scale. The values on the X-scale can be defined manually or you can automatically generate them by specifying the start/end values and the scale step.

Scrolling on Touch Devices

Since the DHTMLX components are pure JavaScript and can be viewed on mobile devices, we have improved the scrolling feature for dhtmlxGrid, dhtmlxTreeGrid, dhtmlxTree, dhtmlxCombo, and dhtmlxDataView. Now when displayed on touch devices (the latest versions of iOS and Android), these components use the native scrolling included on the device.

 
The link to the latest dhtmlxSuite PRO package will be sent by email to the paid users with active support/updates subscription.

DHTMLX 3.5: Build Visually Stunning, Real-Time Web Apps

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

We are excited to announce the release of DHTMLX v.3.5, our JavaScript/Ajax component library. With this release, we focused on updating the design of the UI components and we hope that you’ll love the look of the new skin. We’ve also added powerful data processing capabilities, such as live updates functionality and offline support. Here is the list of the major enhancements:

New Skin

The new version brings a completely new look to the DHTMLX components, allowing you to build visually appealing, mobile-ready user interfaces. The new ‘terrace’ skin is simple and elegant so the DHTMLX components fit perfectly in any modern web app.

dhtmlxForm now has the built-in file upload control allowing users to upload multiple files and track the progress of individual file upload. With the new ‘container’ control in form, it becomes easier to integrate other DHTMLX components and any HTML elements into a form layout.

DHTMLX 3.0: Build Better Apps with Less Time and Efforts

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

We have finally done it! Today we are releasing DHTMLX 3.0, an exciting update that brings a new level of simplicity and productivity in web application creation.

The main idea behind 3.0 release is to make the DHTMLX library easier to use by introducing a few major enhancements without adding more kilobytes to the library package. Not only does DHTMLX 3.0 remain easy to learn and get started with, but it also reduces the time of application development.

In addition to various minor new features, bug fixes, new utilities (dhtmlxMessage), and completely updated controls (Form, Calendar), there are two major highlights in version 3.0: Visual Designer tool with Form Builder and global data store. This allows us to say that the DHTMLX library has reached its new quality stage. And here is why:

Visual Designer with Form Builder

The Designer tool was developed to make the process of building web interfaces with DHTMLX as simple as possible. The concept is the following: you create the structure of an application interface as a hierarchy of the DHTMLX UI components (probably you’ve met this approach in other visual builders). Then you define component properties and activate event handlers to add cross-controls logic.

The Visual Designer tool for DHTMLX library comes with Visual Form Builder to simplify creation of forms based on dhtmlxForm 3.0.

dhtmlxForm. Filling the Gap.

Monday, March 15th, 2010

With the coming update of the DHTMLX library, we’re going to introduce a new component, which will be also available as a separate download. This component was probably missing in our library by accident, but now it’s time to fix it! This component is dhtmlxForm.

By offering dhtmlxForm to our users, we plan to solve the following tasks:

  • Make form building and handling easy and convenient to those who are already working with DHTMLX.
  • Simplify data loading into the form, and provide an easy way to save data on the server.
  • Provide convenient ways to do form validation.
  • Match the form interface to the DHTMLX skin design.
