inmydata.WindowsForms.Controls 1.0.2

inmydata.DesktopComponents

Seamlessly integrate inmydata analytics into your .NET Windows Forms applications.

This package provides access to the inmydata AnalyticsControl, which hosts a full-featured embedded analytics interface supporting dashboards, AI Copilot, visualizations, and more.

🧩 Features

• Embeddable Windows Forms control (AnalyticsControl)
• Supports both 32-bit and 64-bit systems
• Easily configurable analytics experience (e.g. Full, Copilot, Dashboards, Insights)
• Event-driven integration with your app’s logic

📦 Installation

Install the NuGet package via the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package inmydata.WindowsForms.Controls

Or via the NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package inmydata.WindowsForms.Controls

🚀 Getting Started

Adding the Control

After installing the components, drag the AnalyticsControl onto your Windows Form from the Visual Studio Toolbox.

Or initialize it manually:

var analyticsControl = new AnalyticsControl
{
	Name = "analyticsControl1",
    Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
	Tenant = "mytenant",
    ContentType = ContentTypeEnum.AIChat // Options: Full, AIChat, AIChatVisualisation, Insights, InsightsVisualisation, Dashboards, Visualisation
};

this.Controls.Add(analyticsControl);

⚙️ Configuration

Configure the tenant via the Tenant property:

analyticsControl.Tenant = "mytenant";

Configure the content via the ContentType property:

analyticsControl.ContentType = ContentTypeEnum.AIChat;

Available options:

• ContentTypeEnum.Full
• ContentTypeEnum.AIChat
• ContentTypeEnum.AIChatVisualisation
• ContentTypeEnum.Insights
• ContentTypeEnum.InsightsVisualisation
• ContentTypeEnum.Visualisations
• ContentTypeEnum.Dashboards

🔄 Loading the View Once the control has been created and initialized, you should call:

analyticsControl.LoadView();

This triggers the control to load and display its configured view.

📍 Recommended placement: The best time to call LoadView() is in your form’s Load event handler, to ensure that all layout and design-time setup has completed.

Example:

private void MyForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    analyticsControl.LoadView();
}

Calling LoadView() too early (e.g., in the form constructor) may lead to incomplete rendering or unexpected behavior.

📡 Handling Events

Respond to lifecycle or user interaction events by registering handlers:

analyticsControl.Drilldown += (sender, e) =>
{
    // Handle drill down event
};

Refer to the API documentation for the full event list.
