23.0.0.2 Jul 10, 2024 *NEW: The ex-HTML tags, including fgcolor, bgcolor, gra, out, sha, solidline, and dotline, now support 150 named colors, such as <fgcolor red>, as well as RGB format specifications like <fgcolor rgb(255,0,0)>. This enhancement offers more flexibility in defining colors within ex-HTML tags *Added: The ToolTipMargin property defines the size of the control's tooltip margins. By default, the size of the tooltip margin is "4" (horizontal and vertical). For instance, ToolTipMargin = "8" changes the horizontal and vertical margins are set to 8 pixels. ToolTipMargin = "8,4" changes the horizontal margin to 8 pixels and the vertical margin to 4 pixels. 23.0.0.1 Feb 28, 2024 *NEW: Expandable-captions support, or ability to expand/collapse the captions using HTML tags such as <a id;exp=text> or <a id;e64=encode64> *Added: The ExecuteTemplate() method can return the value of a variable. For instance, the eXSurface's PointToPosition method uses variables by reference which is not supported in PowerBuilder. For that you can use a code like ExecuteTemplate("dim x,y;x=-1;y=-1;PointToPosition(x,y);x") that returns the x-position (surface's coordinates) of the current mouse pointer. In the same manner you can use ExecuteTemplate("dim x,y;x=-1;y=-1;PointToPosition(x,y);y") to return the y-position. *Fixed: The control can't display & glyph characters such as & ( & ), < ( < ), > ( > ), &qout; ( " ) and &#number; For instance, € displays #8364 instead of EURO symbol 22.0.0.3 Dec 13, 2023 *Added: The control's tooltip is shown when the cursor hovers it no matter if the window that hosts the control is activated *Added: The <solidline> and <dotline> HTML tags support color in RGB format using the <solidline RRGGBB> or <dotline RRGGBB> syntax, which indicates the color to show the solid or dotted line *Fixed: The expropertieslist/com fails if the user is trying to spy the control (x64 version only, AllowSpy property, browses the object by drag and drop) 22.0.0.2 Jun 12, 2023 *Fixed: Prevents beeping if ENTER, ESCAPE or CTRL + A key is pressed in X, Y, CX or CY fields *Fixed: No control frame is shown in design-mode under MS Excel's spreadsheet *Fixed: The AttachTemplate method fails if using "handle" keyword on x64 version 22.0.0.1 Jan 09, 2023 *NEW: Ability to specify the size to show the icons within the control *Added: ImageSize property specifies the size of the control' icons. By default, the ImageSize property is 16. The control's Images collection is cleared if the ImageSize property is changed, so it is recommended to set the ImageSize property before calling the Images method. The ImageSize property defines the size (width/height) of the icons within the control's Images collection. For instance, if the ICO file to load includes different types the one closest with the size specified by ImageSize property is loaded by Images method. The ImageSize property does NOT change the height for the control's font. *Added: Update the samples to support x64 configuration (/COM version) 21.0.0.3 Dec 19, 2022 *Added: In skin-designer, the markers for focused-object are visible while the "Draw grid lines" button is pressed *Added: CTRL + A, selects the entire text in X, Y, CX or CY fields *Fixed: The focus of the X, Y, CX or CY fields is lost once the user presses the Enter key 21.0.0.2 Sep 07, 2022 *Added: TemplateDef/TemplatePut property allows defining inside variables for the Template feature ( available for /COM only, and useful to assign properties with multiple parameters, which is not supported in dBASE ) *Fixed: Clicking (Custom) property generates "Class Not Registered" error (Windows x64, 'Looking for object with CLSID:{7EBDAAE1-8120-11CF-899F-00AA00688B10}') *Fixed: A GPF may occur on closing the form/window/dialog if one or more events are handled by AttachTemplate method 21.0.0.1 May 04, 2022 *NEW: Z-Events support (Standard .NET event patterns) *Added: Every event of the control (/NET assembly) provides a Z-Event alternative, of "void OnEventRaised(object sender, EventArgs args)" type. The .NET convention is for an event (Z-event) signature to have a void return and 2 parameters. The first parameter is of type System.Object and is the sender of the event. The second parameter must be of type System.EventArgs or derived from System.EventArgs and contains data passed between sender and receiver. For instance, the "DblClick(object sender, short Shift, int X, int Y)" event is equivalent to "ZDblClick(object sender, ZDblClickArgs e)", where "ZDblClickArgs" type is derived from System.EventArgs and includes definitions for Shift, X and Y properties *Fixed: "Warning: The <event-name> event is a .NET event that does not follow the .NET convention for event signatures (OpenEdge, ABL code)". To prevent this warning, under OpenEdge environment you must use the Z-event alternatives 20.0.0.2 Feb 21, 2022 *Added: PowerBuilder 21.0 sample *Fixed: The BackColor/ForeColor properties of the /NET version are not copied in design mode, when the user copies the control in design-mode using CTRL + C (copy) and CTRL + V (paste) combination *Fixed: The control's tooltip stop showing once it goes away after 5 seconds 20.0.0.1 Mar 22, 2021 *Added: Sets or gets the control's Font property in design mode, for the /NET version *Added: The Images method supports the Microsoft ImageList ( mscomctl.ocx, MSComctlLib.ImageList type) object directly. Shortly, you can define the control's images by calling Images(ImageList1.Object). The ImageList1.Object returns the object of MSComctlLib.ImageList type. The Microsoft ImageList object is available for /COM on x86 and x64 machines (starting from Access 2016) *Fixed: The BackColor/ForeColor properties of the /NET version are not serialized once the user changes in design mode (the control's background/foreground is set to the default value once the form is started) 19.0.0.1 Jan 11, 2021 *Added: ExButton.pdf (include the control's documentation in PDF format) *Fixed: The "Do you want to save changes to the design of form ''? Yes, No, Cancel" message occurs in MS Access, every time the form is closed in design mode 18.0.0.1 Sep 17, 2020 *Added: The cursor is a pointer (as it would indicates a link) if the MousePointer property is 16 *Fixed: No mouse pointer is displayed while cursor hovers the control, if the MousePointer property is 99, and MouseIcon points to a picture object (ICO file) 17.0.0.1 May 25, 2020 *Fixed: FormatAnchor(False) = vbNullString fails (vbNullString is a special VB constant that denotes a null string. The "" literal is an empty string) 16.0.0.2 Aug 05, 2019 *Fixed: Prevents showing the "This application is about to initialize ActiveX controls that might be unsafe. If you trust the source of this file, select OK and the controls will be initialized using your current workspace settings." warning message while the control is running into MS Office forms or user-forms. 16.0.0.1 Jun 04, 2018 *NEW: Ability to executes x-script code ( including events ), from a string, file or a safe array of bytes. This feature allows you to load the control's visual appearance and behavior, without having to write any line of code. The x-script code can save EBNs, icons, pictures into BASE64 encoded strings, and so everything can be put into a single file, that should be invoked by AttachTemplate method. This feature allows you to run any x-script code for any configuration of the component (/COM, /NET or /WPF). *Added: AttachTemplate method executes the giving x-script code, and attach events if found. The x-script code can contain handle keyword that defines a handler for the specified event. For instance, the AttachTemplate("handle Click() { print(Version) }") sends the control's Version property to the debugger for display. All you need is to open the DebugView tool, and click the control. *Added: The control's Template page supports AttachTemplate so you can assign x-script code ( including events ) in design mode, and so the control's visual appearance and behavior is changed once the control is created at runtime (/COM version only). *Fixed: Prevents "Do you want to save ..." / "Save changes...' input box, when the user opens the form in design mode, and close it. 15.0.0.1 Aug 07, 2017 *NEW: Display a placeholder for missing icons, images in HTML captions. *Added: The Key parameter of the HTMLPicture property is case insensitive, so you can display the picture using the insensitive key. For instance, <img>picA</img> is equivalent with <img>pica</img>, or <img>PICA</img> and so on. *Added: The HTML caption shows a missing image placeholder for images whose source is missing. The missing placeholder displays the index of the icon being missing, or the key of the HTML picture being missing. *Added: The Version property includes the SpecialBuild number of the assembly so it provides information like Major.Minor.Build.Revison.SpecialBuild.Type... 14.0.0.3 Dec 28, 2016 *Fixed: A GPF may occur if the application is started from design mode ( demo / evaluation / trial version only ) *Fixed: Prevents a memory leak when loading icons, pictures, from BASE64 encoded strings (Images method, HTMLPicture picture). 14.0.0.2 Aug 26, 2016 *Added: ExEBN Tool ( standalone tool ) for /COM or /NET version, that helps you to view or edit EBN files *Added: The Handle parameter of Images method can be a string that specifies the ICO file to be loaded. The ICO file format is an image file format for computer icons in Microsoft Windows. ICO files contain one or more small images at multiple sizes and color depths, such that they may be scaled appropriately. For instance, Images("e:\working\sync.ico") method adds the sync.ico file to the control's Images collection. *Fixed: Prevents showing the control's view in design mode, while running on FORTH system ( /COM version ) *Fixed: The object's background is shown for a not-colorable object ( that shows a picture with transparency-colors ), when a color is applied to the entire EBN object (EBN 1002) 14.0.0.1 May 11, 2016 *NEW: Implementation of EBN 1004 file version ( DPI-Aware support ). *Added: The exClientExt attribute of the EBN/BackgroundExt/BackgroundExtValue supports DPI values, if the number is followed by a D character. For instance, if the DPI scaling is 100%, the 16d is 16, while for a 150% DPI scaling, the 16d is 24. In other words, "top[4,back=RGB(0,0,255)]", draws a blue line on the top side of the object's background, of 4-pixels wide, no matter of DPI scaling, while "top[4D,back=RGB(0,0,255)]", draws the line of 4-pixels wide if DPI scaling is 100%, or 6-pixels wide if DPI scaling is 150% ) *Added: The X, Y, CX, CY fields of the object that composes the EBN file, supports DPI values, if the number is followed by a D character. For instance, if the DPI scaling is 100%, the 16d is 16, while for a 150% DPI scaling, the 16d is 24. In other words, "top[4,back=RGB(0,0,255)]", draws a blue line on the top side of the object's background, of 4-pixels wide, no matter of DPI scaling, while "top[4D,back=RGB(0,0,255)]" *Added: VC\Builder.DPI runs the WYSWYG Builder as DPI-Aware application *Fixed: Sometime, a message box is shown when running the /NET assembly. 13.0.0.2 Mar 07, 2016 *NEW: Ability to show the HTML caption vertically, or mirrored. *Added: Rotate property rotates the HTML caption. For instance, Rotate property on exHTMLVertical, displays vertically the HTML control from the left-bottom to the top-right, while the exHTMLVertical or exHTMLMirror, displays vertically the HTML control from top-right to left-bottom *Fixed: The button's State property may be keep on exHot, while the mouse leaves quickly the button *Fixed: "Attempted to read and write protected memory" exception may occur when using the eXButton/NET assembly on VS 2008 13.0.0.1 Jan 06, 2016 *NEW: Implementation of EBN 1003 file version. *Added: Colorable Region Support which defines a portion/region of the EBN object where the color of the EBN is applied. For instance, at runtime the identifier 0x1FF0000 applies blue color to all colorable parts that compose the EBN object. The EBN color is not applied to not-colorable portions of the EBNs (EBN 1003). *Added: The Colorable Region Start and Colorable Region End buttons are available for the EBN Builder tool in the Background/Picture panel. The Colorable Region is defined by all points with the color between Start and End values (EBN 1003). *Added: The Background\Picture panels marks transparent-region with greeen color, while the colorable-region with black color. *Added: Keep the SHIFT while clicking the Test button on the EBN Builder, and you get the test window with a color applied, in the following order: red, green, blue, ... 12.1.0.2 Nov 02, 2015 *Added: The Version property for /NET version returns more information about the component/assembly/file. *Fixed: The button can't be clicked once another button that overlaps the current button it is hidden. *Fixed: An ICO file shows as 18x18 instead of 16x16 pixels if it is loaded using the HTMLPicture method. 12.1.0.1 Jul 15, 2015 *NEW: Ability to place a resizable-picture on the button's face *Added: The Picture property specifies the picture object to be loaded and displayed on the button's face.
