In our most recent release (v21.1), we published a public API that allows you to embed any WinForms control into the DevExpress BI Dashboard. The primary advantage of this API and our Custom Dashboard Items, is the ability to leverage the functionality available for built-in dashboard items, including support for the following:
Interactivity
Coloring
Export
To learn more about Custom Dashboard Items, please refer to our announcement post.
Based on previous survey results, we recently created a set of highly requested custom DevExpress Dashboard items.
Custom Funnel item
Custom Gantt item
Custom Sankey item
Custom Sunburst item
Custom Tree List item
Custom Waypoint Map item
Custom Gannt Item
Custom Web Page Item
These item samples are available as an example on GitHub. This example demonstrates usage/extensibility of our WinForms Dashboard controls:
Feel free to configure/reference the source code for use within your project. Should you wish to modify our sample custom dashboard items or use them as a base for your own items, refer to the following GitHub repository: Dashboard for WinForms - Custom Item Extensions.
You can also integrate these custom items “as-is” if you install the following NuGet package:
