We’re excited to announce **vCortex 0.14.60 (Ignition 8.1/8.3)**, packed with major improvements, new customization options, and better performance for your projects! The Demo project is update to see how to use new futures. # Release 0.14.60 ## New Features & Enhancements - Applied Designer-defined style classes to all components. - **eChart:** The `theme` property now supports `auto`, eliminating the need to bind it to the Perspective theme. The component automatically detects Perspective theme changes and updates accordingly. - **Slider:** Added `styles.track.colors` to define the color of each track segment when using multiple values. ![Slider Multiple Color Segment](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/8/c828a08a28e8d04bc04427e5ff73d6cbadbe2510.gif) - **Flow Diagram:** Added support for per-node and per-edge Designer styling via the `className` property. - **Flow Diagram:** Added a `defaultStyle` option for all nodes and edges. - **Flow Diagram:** Added support for dragging node handles instead of manually entering offset values in the UI. ![Flow Diagram Handle Reposition](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/b/8b684b5111d89ee598e89583c0c5c721a9485f3e.gif) - **Flow Diagram:** Exposed the `onlyRenderVisibleElements` option to improve performance in large diagrams. When enabled, only the nodes and edges currently within the visible viewport are rendered. - **Flow Diagram:** Added `performance.mode` to improve rendering performance by replacing embedded views with lightweight placeholder boxes while zoomed out. ![Flow Diagram Perfromance mode](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/0/3095ca512c9f7273d26be6dac32693cea0ca37ee.gif) - **Flow Diagram:** Added `addNodes()` and `addEdges()` component functions to improve performance in large-scale diagrams. These functions inject node and edge data directly into the component without exposing them through Perspective properties. For the best performance, use them with `dataMode: "local"`. - **Flow Diagram:** Added the `dataMode` property. When set to `props`, nodes and edges remain synchronized through Perspective properties. When set to `local`, node and edge data is stored in the browser's memory, avoiding large WebSocket updates and improving performance. - **Flow Diagram:** Added support for box selection, multi-selection, and Undo for node and edge editing operations. ![Box Selection and undo in Flow Diagram](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/6/068a6a141f75d4c7a0b0421915bdd28cfec8abbe.gif) ## Bug Fixes - The demo project is no longer recreated on gateway startup if it has been deleted by the user. - Replaced per-component license polling with a shared poller, reducing unnecessary background activity. - **eChart:** `runJs()` now uses `ctx` instead of `chart` to reference the component to make `runJs()` compatible with other components. - **Slider:** Fixed the Designer selection box so it properly covers the component. - **Flow Diagram:** Removed the redundant `node.data.style` property from the Flow Diagram schema. - **Flow Diagram:** Optimized rendering by eliminating O(n²) lookups and unnecessary array allocations. - **Flow Diagram:** Removed hardcoded borders and backgrounds from built-in Flow nodes. - **Flow Diagram:** Fixed an issue where resizing a node could unintentionally remove existing styles. ---

Could you expose React Flow’s `preventScrolling` prop on the Zoom & Pan Viewer component (`com.vcortex.zoompan`) under `props.interaction`? React Flow defaults `preventScrolling` to `true`, so the wheel listener on `.react-flow__renderer` calls `preventDefault()`. As a result, the page cannot be scrolled while the cursor is over the component. In our screen, we use: ```python zoomOnScroll: false panOnScroll: false ``` Therefore, the mouse wheel does not perform any useful action inside the component, but it still prevents the parent page from scrolling. `props.interaction` currently exposes: ```python panOnDrag panOnScroll panOnScrollMode panOnScrollSpeed zoomOnScroll zoomOnPinch zoomOnDoubleClick minZoom maxZoom ``` The only relevant React Flow option missing is: ```python preventScrolling ``` Our current workaround is a capture-phase `wheel` listener that stops propagation before React Flow receives the event. We would prefer not to rely on this workaround in production. We are using Ignition 8.3. ---

Yes, this makes sense. We’ll expose React Flow’s preventScrolling property under: props.interaction.preventScrolling We’ll include this in an upcoming vCortex release and let you know once it is available. ---

FileCortex is a free module that provides a simple and secure way to serve static files and Single-Page Applications (SPAs) directly from the Ignition Gateway. The idea is pretty simple: if you already have files on the Gateway machine that you want to make available over HTTP/HTTPS, you can expose specific folders through FileCorte… ### Zoom & Pan Viewer The **Zoom & Pan Viewer** has also been enhanced with a new: - `interaction.preventScrolling` property, providing better control over page scrolling when interacting with the component. We’d love to hear your feedback, especially from anyone using the new **Map component** in real-world Perspective applications.
