inmydata Desktop Components – OpenEdge GUI Client Demo

This repository contains a working example of how to embed and use inmydata's Windows Forms analytics components in a Progress OpenEdge GUI for .NET application.

It demonstrates how to load dashboards, visualisations, AI chat, and insights using the AnalyticsControl component from inmydata.

• GUI for .NET client support enabled
• Access to the inmydata.WindowsForms.Library.dll

🧠 How It Works

Each form uses the AnalyticsControl and sets:

• Tenant – to scope data
• ContentType – one of: Full, Dashboard, Visualisation, AIChat, etc.
• Optional IDs like ID, InsightChartID, or AIChatChartID

All content is loaded dynamically when the form appears using:

analyticsControl:LoadView().
Forms like dashboard and visualisation include a menu strip for toggling settings at runtime (e.g. read-only, toolbar visibility, suppress drilldowns).
