Exontrol ExGantt Component - Release Notes (https://exontrol.com/exgantt.jsp)
19.0.0.8 Sep 16, 2024
*Added: The 0x200(exGridLinesGeometric) flag draws the grid lines using a geometric pen (geometric pens are generally slower than cosmetic pens)
*Added: The option "Roll the mouse wheel to scroll" of Window's mouse & touchpad settings specifies the number of items to vertically scroll. Previously, scrolling vertical with the mouse wheel takes 3 items at a time
*Fixed: Scrolling is slower if the control displays grid-lines (DrawGridLines property)
19.0.0.7 May 27, 2024
*NEW: Ability to sort by state or cell's image
*Added: The Column.SortType property supports exSortByState (0x20) (the column gets sorted by cell's state (checked, unchecked) rather than cell's caption). For instance, Column.SortType = exSortByState(0x20), sorts the column based on the cell's state. The Items.CellState property specifies the cell's state.
*Added: The Column.SortType property supports exSortByImage (0x30), the column gets sorted by cell's image rather than cell's caption. For instance, Column.SortType = exSortByImage(0x30), sorts the column based on the cell's image. The Items.CellImage property retrieves or sets a value that indicates the index of icon to display in the cell.
19.0.0.6 Feb 26, 2024
*Fixed: A GPF may occur if the control is re-created with expandable-columns (Column.ExpandColumns)
*Fixed: The Items.CellHasButton property returns 1, instead of -1 (equivalent of True, /COM version)
*Fixed: The FilterPromptEnum.exFilterPromptEndWith flag of FilterBarPromptType property filters more items than it should.
19.0.0.5 Dec 04, 2023
*Added: Ability to scroll the control's content using two-fingers on a touchpad (swipe up or down with two fingers, scrolls the control's up or down)
*Fixed: The scroll bar's thumb minimum-size is equivalent with the size of the size of scroll's buttons. In other words, the size of the scroll's buttons specify the thumb minimum-size. Previously, the thumb's minimum-size was 6-pixels.
*Fixed: Shows the top-horizontal grid-line for the first bottom-locked item, if the control's DrawGridLines property is exRowLines
19.0.0.4 Sep 25, 2023
*Added: FilterPromptEnum.exFilterPromptWords Or FilterPromptEnum.exFilterPromptStartWith filters for items that starts with the exactly the word (not partially).

*Added: FilterPromptEnum.exFilterPromptCaseSensitive Or FilterPromptEnum.exFilterPromptPattern filter items using the giving pattern (case-sensitive). For instance, "a*" filters for all items that starts with lowercase "a"
19.0.0.3 Jun 26, 2023
*NEW: Multiple improvements for expandable-columns ( Column.ExpandColumns property )
*Fixed: The Column.Visible property is ignored, if the column is being displayed by another expandable column (Column.ExpandColumns property). For instance, Column.Visible property on False, hides all child-columns
*Fixed: The Column.Expanded property on False is ignored while adding a column
*Fixed: Prevents splitting the expanded-column, when user drag and drop the column to a new position
19.0.0.2 Apr 19, 2023
*Added: Prevents resizing an item with Items.ItemAllowSizing property on True, while Items.ItemMinHeight and Items.ItemMaxHeight provides no range ( for instance are both are equal ). In the same manner the resize-cursor does not shows up once the cursor hovers the resize part of the item.
*Fixed: The Items.ItemMaxHeight property on 0, is ignored while the item contains a cell with Items.CellSingleLine property on False.
*Fixed: The Items.ItemMinHeight and Items.ItemMaxHeight properties are ignored if resizing all items, using the ItemsAllowSizing property on exResizeAllItems.
*Fixed: The column's position can be changed by drag and drop as soon as the cursor surpasses the control's columns section rather than control's entire client area
19.0.0.1 Jan 25, 2023
*NEW: Data Binding support for /WPF assembly
*Added: DataSource property gets or sets the data source that the control is displaying data for. The DataContext/DataSource support of the control allows you to use the data-binding feature of the /WPF environment for our /WPF ex-controls. The DataSource property specifies the sub-set of DataContext the control should get data from. The DataSource property can be: DataTable, DataView, DataSet, DataViewManager, any component that implements the IListSource interface, or any component that implements the IList interface. The DataContext is the source of all entities mapped over a database connection. Once the DataSource property is set, the control automatically gets data based on the DataContext property.
*Added: DataTaskBegin property gets or sets the specific field in the data source to indicate the starting point of each added task. If missing or empty, no tasks are loaded during binding.
*Added: DataTaskEnd property gets or sets the specific field in the data source to indicate the ending point of each added task. If missing or empty, no tasks are loaded during binding. If the DataTaskEnd points to a DateTime object, it indicates the ending date of the newly bar, else, it indicates the duration of the task to be added. If the DataTaskEnd is equal with DataTaskBegin, a one-day task is added for each record found, during binding.
18.2.0.6 Dec 27, 2022
*Fixed: The control shows the dragging column in black, even the control's header shows the columns in white (ForeColorHeader property)
*Fixed: The control's ForeColorHeader property is not applied on the control's columns-float bar (the columns into the columns-float bar are always displayed in black)
*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.
18.2.0.5 Sep 28, 2022
*Added: Prevents showing the thumb of the vertical scroll bar, if the ScrollBySingleLine property is True, and the control displays a single item (higher than the control's height)
*Fixed: Can't move the column to be the last-visible column, while all columns are visible (ColumnAutoResize property on False)
*Fixed: Move slightly the last partially visible column, changes its position.
*Fixed: Dropping the column after the last visible column, ends up one-column to the right after the dropped position.
18.2.0.4 May 18, 2022
*Added: lpad keyword (available for properties that support expressions) , as a lpad b, pads the value of a to the left with b padding pattern. For instance, FormatColumn = "((1 apos ``) lpad `0000`) + `. ` + value" displays the cell's content including the position of the row, padded to left with 4-zero (if required)
*Added: rpad keyword (available for properties that support expressions), as a rpad b, pads the value of a to the right with b padding pattern. For instance, 12 lpad "____" generates the string "12__".
*Added: concat keyword (available for properties that support expressions), as a concat b concatenates the a (as string) for b times. For instance, "x" concat 5, generates the string "xxxxx"
*Fixed: A GPF (Stack overflow) occurs if using ADO DataSource for provider of vfpoledb.
18.2.0.3 Mar 23, 2022
*Fixed: Prevents showing the column being dropped to the Columns floating-bar with a different background color ( ColumnsFloatBarVisible, Background(exCursorHoverColumn) )
*Fixed: The Items.SelectItem property returns 1 instead of -1 / True value.
*Fixed: "Not a valid bookmark.", "Record is deleted." error may be fired, when the control's DataSource property points to an ADODB.Recrodset, whose Requery method has been invoked. When the control is notified that a Requery, Filter has been performed on the control's DataSource, all items are cleared, and new one are inserted by re-iterating the recordset source.
*Fixed: Sometimes, the user can't scroll to the last item, if the last scrollable item is partially visible.
18.2.0.2 Feb 28, 2022
*NEW: Ability to show / hide columns by check/un-check the column in the Columns floating-bar (ColumnsFloatBarVisible property)
*Added: The ColumnsFloatBarVisible property of ColumnsFloatBarVisibleEnum type, retrieves or sets a value that indicates whether the the columns float bar is visible or hidden. The ColumnsFloatBarVisibleEnum.exColumnsFloatBarVisibleIncludeCheckColumns associates a check-box for each column. The Columns floating bar displays all columns with AllowDragging property on True, and the check's box state indicates whether the column is visible or hidden. As previously, the user can drag or drop any column in the Columns floating bar and the associated check-box is updated based on the column's Visible property.
*Added: Toggles the Visible property for listed columns within the Columns floating bar, when it is active and the user presses the SPACE key. This option is valid, while the ColumnsFloatBarVisible property is exColumnsFloatBarVisibleIncludeCheckColumns. For instance, you can click the Columns floating bar, start typing the column you are looking for, the Columns floating bar displays the matching columns only, and after that you can press the SPACE key to show or hides the selected columns.
*Added: The control's SearchColumnIndex property specifies the column being dropped or excluded from the Columns floating-bar, during the LayoutChanged event. If the column is being hidden, the SearchColumnIndex property indicates a negative value, else a positive value. For instance, you can use the MarkSearchColumn property on True, to highlight the column being shown by the Columns floating-bar (ColumnsFloatBarVisible property)
18.2.0.1 Jan 10, 2022
*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: "The current version, supports ADO and DAO Recordsets. Make sure that the object is an ADO recordset, or a DAO recordset" error may occur if using ADO objects.
18.1.0.3 Dec 13, 2021
*NEW: Ability to wraps the cell's caption on line break only
*Added: The Items.CellSingleLine property specifies whether the cell's caption is displayed on single-line, or wraps around the words or line breaks. Previously, the Items.CellSingleLine property was of Boolean type, while currently it is of CellSingleLineEnum type. For instance, Items.CellSingleLine() = exCaptionBreakWrap indicates that the cell's caption is displayed on new lines when line break is found ( <br> for HTML captions or \r\n sequence ). Also, the option is valid if you specify the Column.Def(exCellSingleLine) property.
*Fixed: The EnsureVisibleItem method does not vertically scroll the control's content, if previously the control's list has been sorted ( Column.SortOrder property, Layout property, ... )
*Fixed: The Items.SelectableItem property returns 1 instead of -1 / True value.
18.1.0.2 Nov 15, 2021
*Fixed: The predefined icon-bars such as "Summary", "Project Summary", "Milestone" or "Deadline" shows distorted on DPI applications.
*Fixed: The user can't resize the last locked-column that fit's the control's client area, if it wider (CountLockedColumns property)
*Fixed: The control scrolls more columns, if locked columns are visible and the user do horizontal page scrolling by clicking the horizontal scroll bar's background. ( CountLockedColumns property )
*Fixed: Prevents re-grouping the items when a column does not change it's position in the control's SortBar/GroupBy bar. Prevents changing the column's sorting position when the user drags the column's header in a few pixels. ( SortBarVisible property )
18.1.0.1 Sep 27, 2021
*NEW: Ability to export the control's data to HTML format ( including CSS ), or CSV format
*Added: The Destination parameter of the Export method could be "htm" or "html" or a file with the extension "htm" or "html" indicates that the control's content is exported in HTML format. If the Destination parameter points to a valid file name, it will be created.
*Added: The Export method exports the control's content as ANSI, no matter of the control's configuration, unless the forth field of the Options parameter is not unicode. Shortly, you can export the control's content as UNICODE by calling a code like Export Destination, "|||unicode"
*Fixed: The Export method includes the visible items only, if any filter is applied to the control ( excludes the chk and sel options ).
18.0.0.7 Jul 07, 2021
*Added: Expands or collapses the entire selection if the user clicks any +/- glitch, presses Left/Right/+ or- key inside the selection, while the CTRL is pressed. This option is valid, while the control's SingleSel property is False.
*Added: Shows the drop down filter and tooltip panels to the nearest monitor relative to the cursor position.
*Fixed: Sometimes, can't select by drag items if the ColumnAutoResize property is False
*Fixed: The Items.ItemMinHeight and ItemMaxHeight properties are DPI compatible.
*Fixed: The Items.ItemHeight property sets the height using DPI conversion.
18.0.0.6 Apr 12, 2021
*NEW: The Expression of the ConditionalFormat/ComputedField/FormatColumn supports %C0, %C1, .... which indicates the caption of
the cell as displayed, while the %0, %1, gets the value of the cell. The cell's value may be different than what the cell
displays as a string. For instance, let's say a cell display HTML format. The %0 returns the html format including the HTML tags,
while %C0 returns the cell's content as string without HTML tags.
*Added: The Items.FormatCell or Column.FormatColumn property supports %C0, %C1, ... which indicates the content of the cell as string, on the column with the index 0, 1, and so on... For instance the, "%C0 + %C1" concatenates the first two cells, which is similar with a computed field per cell. In other words, you can have computed field per cells, using the Items.FormatCell, not only using the Column.ComputedField property which is applied to the entire column.
*Added: The FilterBarCaption property supports the leafitemcount keyword that counts the number of leaf items being shown in the control. This function should be used when you are displaying hierarchies, else you can still uses itemcount or matchitemcount that are faster than leafitemcount function. For instance, FilterBarCaption property "allui + `<r>` + leafitemcount + ` item(s)`" displays all available UI filter columns, and aligned to the right the number of leaf items.
*Added: The Background(exColumnsPositionSign) specifies the visual appearance for the position sign between columns, when the user changes the position of the column by drag and drop. By default, the Background(exColumnsPositionSign) property is 0, which indicates that the default position sign is shown when the user change the column's position by drag and drop.
18.0.0.5 Feb 22, 2021
*NEW: Ability to display the control's filter bar over the chart section as well.
*Added: The exFilterBarShort flag indicates that the control's filter bar is shown on the Items section only.
*Added: The Background(exTreeGlyphOpen)/Background(exTreeGlyphClose) specifies the visual appearance for the +/- buttons when it is collapsed/expanded. This option is valid while HasButtons property is exPlus ( by default ), and any of Background(exTreeGlyphOpen)/Background(exTreeGlyphClose) is not-zero
*Added: The Background(exFooterFilterBarButton) property on -1 hides permanently the close button of the control's filter bar.
*Fixed: Disables the default beep being played when the user presses the Enter, Escape or CTRL + F key on control's filter bar
18.0.0.4 Jan 06, 2021
*Added: Shows the hand cursor when the cursor hovers the open-filter button of the column's header or close button of the control's filter bar
*Fixed: The drop down filter panel is closed as soon as it shows up, if it is displayed over the current cursor location
*Fixed: Corrects the shadow effect for drop down panels like filters, editors, tooltips,... on systems with DPI setting not-100%
*Fixed: The user can't use the column's filter button being shown in the control's columns floating bar ( ColumnsFloatBarVisible property )
*Added: Background(exSelForeColorHide) / Background(exSelBackColorHide) property specifies the selection's foreground and background colors when the control has no focus. This has effect while the control's HideSelection property is False
18.0.0.3 Nov 13, 2020 (/JS)
*Added: AllowSelectNothing property specifies whether the current selection is erased, once the user clicks outside of the items section. For instance, if the control's SingeSel property is True, and AllowSelectNothing property is True, you can un-select the single-selected item if pressing the CTRL + Space, or by CTRL + click.
*Added: SelectOnRelease property indicates whether the selection occurs when the user releases the mouse button. By default, the selection occurs, as soon as the user clicks an object. The SelectOnRelease property has no effect if the SingleSel property is False, and SelectByDrag property is True.
*Fixed: Hides the hot-tracking item as soon as control's content is scrolled ( rotating the mouse wheel for instance ), selection is changed ( any of arrow key is pressed for instance ).
*Fixed: Can't select the focus-item with the arrow keys, if it selectable while the view displays a single item and the SingleSel property is False.
18.0.0.2 Oct 19, 2020
*NEW: FilterBarCaption property supports expressions, and UI Column's Filter
*Added: The FilterBarCaption property supports expressions, so its evaluated value defines the HTML caption to be displayed on the control's filter bar. By default, the FilterBarCaption property is empty, so the control's automatically computes the filter bar's label based on the filter of each column. If no filter is selected, no filter label is generated. The FilterBarCaption property supports the following predefined keywords: value or current ( defines the control's current filter label, as it is displayed ), itemcount keyword returns the number of all items within the control, visibleitemcount keyword indicates the number of visible items within the control ( negative value indicates that the control has a filter applied, equivalent with the Items.VisibleItemCount property ), matchitemcount keyword indicates the number of items that currently matches the control's filter ( negative value indicates that the control has a filter applied, equivalent with the Items.MatchItemCount property ), promptpattern keyword specifies the currently pattern for the filter's prompt ( this is eligible, if the FilterBarPromptVisible property includes the exFilterBarPromptVisible flag ), available keyword returns a list of columns that are currently not filtered, but available to be filtered for ( Column.DisplayFilterButton property on True ) as a HTML string, allui keyword returns a HTML caption that includes all columns with Column.DisplayFilterButton property on True, including the value for each column's filter if it is filtered, all keyword returns a HTML caption that includes all columns including the value for each column's filter if it is filtered. For instance, FilterBarCaption = "`<r>` + value" aligns the filter bar's label to the right, the "value replace `[` with `<fgcolor=808080>[` replace `]` with `]</fgcolor>`" shows the column's name with a different color, "`<b><r>` + value + `</b><fgcolor=808080>` + ( matchitemcount < 0 ? ( ( len(value) ? `<br>` : `` ) + `<r>` + abs(matchitemcount + 1) + ` result(s)` ) : ``)" displays the number of results in the control's filter bar and so on.
*Added: Ability to clear / select new filter value from the column's filter panel, if the user clicks the column's caption of the control's filter bar. The value, current, available, allui or all keyword of the FilterBarCaption property returns a HTML caption that includes the column's caption between [<b> and </b>] if the column is currently filtered ( shows as bold between brackets ), between <fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s> and </s>]<fgcolor> if the column is not currently filtered ( shows in strikeout as gray between brackets ). The all, allui and available keywords uses the <fgcolor> </fgcolor> sequence (uncolored space) to separate the parts on the control's filter description. You can use predefined functions like replace to change the appearance of the column in the control's filter bar. For instance, "all replace `<s>` with `` replace `</s>` with ``" removes the strikeout effect for available and not-filtered columns, "allui replace `[<b>` with `<bgcolor=000000><fgcolor=FFFFFF><b> ` replace `</b>]` with ` </b></fgcolor></bgcolor>`" shows the filtered columns on white on a black background, "value + `<r>` + available replace `<fgcolor=C0C0C0>` with `<fgcolor=FF0000>`" shows the currently filter on the left, while the available filter on the right in red,
*Added: The Items.MatchItemCount property retrieves the number of items that match the filter. If negative it indicates that a filter is applied, and its absolute value minus 1 specifies the count of items that match the filter criteria. If zero, no items are loaded into the control, and so no filter is applied. If positive, it indicates the total number of items within the control equivalent with the Items.ItemCount property.
*Added: Items.VisibleItemCount property returns negative value, if the control has a filter applied. The negative value represents a formula of -( count + 1 ), where count indicates the number of matching items. For instance, if the Items.VisibleItemCount property returns -1, the count of matching items is 0, if -2, 1 matching item, if -3, 2 matching items, and so on.
18.0.0.1 Aug 24, 2020
*NEW: Radical Improvements for control's Filter-Prompt-Bar
*Added: The FilterBarPromptVisible property of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, specifies how the control's filter bar is displayed and behave. Previously, the FilterBarPromptVisible property was of Boolean type. By default, FilterBarPromptVisible property is exFilterBarHidden, so no filter bar is shown. Even so, the control's filter bar is shown as before, as soon as the user selects a value from the control's filter list, so a filter is applied. The FilterBarVisibleEnum type includes several flags that can be combined together, as described bellow.
*Added: The exFilterBarPromptVisible, exFilterBarVisible, exFilterBarCaptionVisible flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, forces the control's filter-prompt, filter bar or filter bar description ( even empty ) to be shown.
*Added: The exFilterBarSingleLine flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, specifies that the filter bar's caption is shown on a single line, so <br> HTML tag or \r\n are not handled. By default, the control's filter description applies word wrapping. Can be combined to exFilterBarCompact to display a single-line filter bar.
*Added: The exFilterBarToggle flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, specifies that the user can close the control's filter bar ( removes the control's filter ) by clicking the close button of the filter bar or by pressing the CTRL + F, while the control's filter bar is visible. If no filter bar is displayed, the user can display the control's filter bar by pressing the CTRL + F key. While the control's filter bar is visible the user can navigate though the list or control's filter bar using the ALT + Up/Down keys.
*Added: The exFilterBarShowCloseIfRequired flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, indicates that the close button of the control's filter bar is displayed only if the control has any currently filter applied. The Background(exFooterFilterBarButton) property on -1 hides permanently the close button of the control's filter bar.
*Added: The exFilterBarShowCloseOnRight flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, specifies that the close button of the control's filter bar should be displayed on the right side. If the control's RightToLeft property is True, the close button of the control's filter bar would be automatically displayed on the left side.
*Added: The exFilterBarCompact flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, compacts the control's filter bar, so the filter-prompt will be displayed to the left, while the control's filter bar caption will be displayed to the right. This flag has effect only if combined with the exFilterBarPromptVisible. This flag can be combined with the exFilterBarSingleLine flag, so all filter bar will be displayed compact and on a single line.
17.0.0.6 Jul 20, 2020
*Added: Update the column's sort icon, so it won't be shown as distorted on DPI systems.
*Added: Miscellaneous changes for control's scrollbar-extension such as: contiguously scrolls the control's content line by line, or page by page ( if CTRL is pressed ) while the user keeps clicking the up/left top/right side of the thumb-extension, closes the scrollbar-extension as soon as the user presses ALT + F4, ALT + TAB, shows the scrollbar-extension only if effective mouse movement occurs, hides the scrollbar-extension as soon as the owner control loses the focus
*Fixed: The "<%ww%>" format in the Level.Label property, may displays 53, instead 1-st week of the next year, if the Chart.WeekNumberAs property is exISO8601WeekNumber.
17.0.0.5 May 27, 2020
*Added: FormatABC method formats the A,B,C values based on the giving expression and returns the result. For instance, FormatABC("dpi") returns a numeric value that indicates the display settings ( aspect ratio ).
*Added: Items.ItemMinHeight(0) / Items.ItemMaxHeight(0) property changes the minimum / maximum height for all items.
*Fixed: Closes the control's drag and drop image when user drops data to any other control. For instance, a MessageBox during the target's OLEDragDrop event will keep showing the control's drag and drop picture ( Background(exDragDropAfter) property, /COM version )
*Fixed: Sometimes the user can't drop data to a target control ( OLEDragDrop event is not fired, or fired for the source control, /COM version )
17.0.0.4 Apr 14, 2020
*NEW: Multiple improvements for expression-like properties such as: ConditionalFormat.Expression, Column.FormatColumn, Items.FormatCell and so on
*Added: a `like` b binary-operator compares the string a against the pattern b. The pattern b may contain wild-characters such as *, ?, # or [] and can have multiple patterns separated by space character. In order to have the space, or any other wild-character inside the pattern, it has to be escaped, or in other words it should be preceded by a \ character. For instance "value like `F*e`" matches all strings that start with F and ends on e, or "value like `a* b*`? indicates any strings that start with a or b character.
*Added: The 0x or 0X sequence proceed the hexa-representation of a number, in properties that support expressions. For instance, "value = 0x100" specifies whether the value is 256 ( 0x100 in hexa-representation )
*Added: `hex` a unary-operator converts the giving string from hexa-representation to a numeric value, or converts the giving numeric value to hexa-representation. For instance, hex(`FF`) returns 255, while the hex(255) or hex(0xFF) returns the `FF` string. The hex(hex(`FFFFFFFF`)) always returns `FFFFFFFF` string, as the second hex call converts the giving string to a number, and the first hex call converts the returned number to string representation (hexa-representation).
*Added: a `bitand`, `bitor`, `bitxor` b binary/bitwise-operator computes the AND/OR/XOR operation on bits of a and b, and returns the unsigned value. For instance, 0x01001000 bitand 0x10111000 returns 0x00001000, 0x01001000 bitor 0x10111000 returns 0x11111000, 0x01110010 bitxor 0x10101010 returns 0x11011000.
*Added: a `bitshift` b, binary/bitwise-operator shifts every bit of a value to the left if b is negative, or to the right if b is positive, for b times, and returns the unsigned value. For instance, 128 bitshift 1 returns 64 ( dividing by 2 ) or 128 bitshift (-1) returns 256 ( multiplying by 2 )
*Added: `bitnot` x unary/bitwise-operator flips every bit of x, and returns the unsigned value. For instance, bitnot(0x00FF0000) returns 0xFF00FFFF.
17.0.0.3 Feb 26, 2020
*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 Background(exForeColorFilter) and Background(exBackColorFilter) applies the foreground / background colors to the drop down filter edit field ( pattern, date, filter on type, and so on )
17.0.0.2 Jan 13, 2020
*Added: The exMatchIncludeParent flag of the FilterInclude property specifies whether the parent item is checking if the current value is not matching. In other words, if the value on the current item is not matching the filter, the control check the parent item's value and so on. If any match, the current item is included.
*Fixed: Removing certain objects during events of the control may fail. (DELETEIT)
*Fixed: Sometimes, aGPF may occur if calling the Items.RemoveAllItems during an event.
*Fixed: Sometimes, the Items.RemoveItem method fails, while the control is running in group-view mode ( AllowGroupBy property is True, Columns.SortBarColumnsCount property is not-zero ).
17.0.0.1 Dec 04, 2019
*NEW: Reduce the base-memory usage
*Added: Improves the performance to load data into the control.
*Added: FreezeEvents(Freeze) method prevents firing any event. For instance, FreezeEvents(True) freezes the control's events, no no event is fired, until the FreezeEvents(False) is called.
*Added: Statistics property, gives statistics information about objects being hold by the control.
16.0.0.5 Sep 11, 2019
*Added: The Version property includes the SpecialBuild number of the assembly so it provides information like Major.Minor.Build.Revison.SpecialBuild.Type...
*Added: Prevents expanding/collapsing any item, when the Layout property is called, and it includes the `collapse = ""` field. For instance, Layout property `multiplesort="C0:2 C1:1";collapse=""` sorts by first(0) column descending(2) and second(1) column ascending(1) ( SingleSort property is False ).

You can use the TreeColumnIndex property on -1 or Indent property on 0, to display no +/- buttons or hierarchy lines.
*Added: Items.VisibleItemCount property returns negative value, if filtering is applied on the control ( the control has a filter applied ). The negative value represents a formula of -( count + 1 ), where count indicates the number of matching items. For instance, if the Items.VisibleItemCount property returns -1, the count of matching items is 0, if -2, 1 matching item, if -3, 2 matching items, and so on.

7.0.0.3 Oct 24, 2012
*NEW: Ability to format numbers
*Added: The 'format' binary operator gets the value as formatted number. For instance "value format '2|.|3|," displays the value with 2 digits, the decimal separator being the . character, and the integer part is grouping by 3 digits, while the separator for grouping is , character. The Column.FormatColumn, Column.ComputedField , Items.FormatCell, ConditionalFormat.Expression can use the 'format' operator.
*Added: The /COM version can be dropped to the eXPropertiesList control as an object.
*Added: The Template or ExecuteTemplate properties may contain several commands separated by ; not only cariage returns. For instance the Template = "dim p;p=CreateObject(`Exontrol.Print`);p.PrintExt=Me;p.Preview()" calls the exontrol's eXPrint to open the contrl's print and print preview.

6.1.0.5 Mar 05, 2012
*NEW: Ability to specify padding for cells in the column
*NEW: The 'in' function in computing formulas increases significantly the time to evaluate it. For instance, if you have the formula such us 'value = 1 or value = 2 or value = 22 or value = 45 or value = 12', ... you can have the 'value in (1, 2, 22, 45, 12)'. In other words, if the set contains about 1000 elements for instance, the evaluator takes max 8 checking to determine if the specified value fits the set, else requires 1000 checking is required to verify each or condition in the sequence.
*NEW: The 'case()' function includes any number of case instances. A 'case' instance may contains a statement that is executed once the value is found in the 'case' collection. The 'case' unary operator gets the value being specified by respective statement or the value itself. For instance, the 'int(value) case (1 : value + 1 ; 2 : value * 2)' specifies that if the value is 1 the statement returns 2, while if the value is 2, the statement returns 4, and for any other value it returns the value itself. Also the 'case()' can be used with 'switch' as for instance "%0 switch ('not found',11,22,33,44,55) case (11 : %0 + %1 ; 22 : %1 * 1.19; 33 : len(str(%0)))" indicates that if the value in the column 0 is 11, the result will be the sum between first column and second column, else if the value is 22 the result is the second column value multiplied by 1.19, else if the value is 33 the return is the length of the value in the first cell, if the value is 44 or 55, the result is 44 or 55, while for any other value the result will be 'not found'. The 'in', 'switch' and 'case()' increases significantly the speed to evaluate constant values instead using 'and', 'or' operators to build complicated formulas that could be time consuming.
*NEW: The 'switch' function similar with 'in' function retrieves the value being found in the collection, or a default value if the element is not found. The first element in the collection is the result being returned by 'switch' function when the value is not found in the collection, else the 'switch' returns the value itself. All elements in the collection MUST be constant values. For instance, the "value switch ('not found', 11, 23, 45, 129, 123,99)" means that if the value is 33, the 'not found' string is returned, while if the value is 45, the switch returns 45.
*Added: Column.Def(exCellPaddingLeft) specifies the left padding (space) of the cells within the column. The similar options are: exCellPaddingRight, exCellPaddingTop and exCellPaddingBottom to control the right, top and bottom padding.
*Added: Column.Def(exHeaderPaddingLeft) specifies the left padding (space) of the column's header. The similar options are: exHeaderPaddingRight, exHeaderPaddingTop and exHeaderPaddingBottom to control the right, top and bottom padding.
*Added: The 'in', 'switch' and 'case()' functions available for properties such us: Column.ComputedField, Column.FormatColumn, ConditionalFormat.Expression
6.1.0.4 Feb 20, 2012

*Added: FilterBarPrompt property specifies the HTML caption to be displayed when the filter pattern is missing.
*Added: FilterBarPromptColumns property specifies the list of columns to be used when filtering using the prompt. By default, the filter prompt uses all columns.
*Added: FilterBarPromptPattern property specifies the pattern for the filter prompt.
*Added: FilterBarPromptVisible property shows or hides the filter prompt
*Added: FilterBarPromptType property specifies the type of the filter prompt
6.1.0.3 Feb 08, 2012
*Added: Prevents removing the data from the control such as columns, items and bars, when LoadXML method is called, so you can use the LoadXML to load only the regional changes such as month names, week days and so on.
*Fixed: The Columns.Count property gets increased value if LoadXML method is called successively.
*Fixed: Sometimes, removing an item that hosts an inside control fails.
*Fixed: Keeps the focused item on the previously selected if it is still visible, after applying the filter.
6.1.0.2 Jan 23, 2012
*NEW: VisualAppearance.Add reads EBN files from byte[] or safe arrays of VT_I1 or VT_UI1. In other words, you can add EBN files directly to resources and use them as .VisualAppearance.Add(ID, Namespace.My.Resources.EBN) for vb/net or .VisualAppearance.Add(ID, Namespace.Properties.Resources.EBN) for c#, where the ID is the new identifier to be added, and the EBN is the identifier in the resource for the EBN file.
*Added: Ensures that the chart displays the last time-unit if the Chart.ScrollRange is used. For instance, if the Chart.ScrollRange(exEndDate) is #1/31/2001 11:00:00 AM# and the chart gets magnified to minutes, it ensures that the #1/31/2001 11:59:00 AM# unit is visible.
*Added: If the Chart.ScrollRange(exStartDate) and Chart.ScrollRange(exEndDate) point to the same valid date-time, the chart limits the view to a single day ( time-unit ). For instance, if #1/1/2001# indicates that the chart is limited to a single day, while if #1/1/2001 11:00:00AM# limits the view to a single hour ( 11 AM ).
*Fixed: The Chart.ScrollRange property does not work properly when the Chart.UnitScale property is set to exHour, exMinute or exSecond.
6.1.0.1 Dec 30, 2011
*NEW: Easy way to define the control's visual appearance in design mode, using XP-Theme elements or EBN objects.
*Added: VisualDesign property specifies the control's visual appearance. The VisualDesign value is a BASE64 encoded string, that can be defined using the control's WYSWYG Visual Design Editor, which can be invoked by selecting the control in Design Mode, select Properties, go to the VisualDesign property and click the ... in the Properties browser. The value for this property can be used on /COM, /NET or /WPF. The /WPF version does not have the inside editor, instead any you can use the /COM or /NET to generate the BASE64 encoded strings for this property.
*Fixed: On Windows 7, the user can not open the open file dialog on MSDEV using the ShowImageList property ( VC 6.0 )
*Fixed: The Template property shows no ... button in the properties browser.
6.0.0.1 Dec 05, 2011
*NEW: Ability to specify alternate labels for levels when zooming or changing the width for the base unit, so the control chooses the best fit label for each level when zooming. The "<|>" delimits the alternative labels.
*NEW: Ability to specify the default count and time-scale unit for the level in the Label properties, so the Label properties change the HTML text being displayed in the level, the time-scale unit and the count of the units being displayed in chart's header. The "<||>" delimits the alternative labels from options for the level such as Count and Time-Unit, so the Label property may be used such as: LABEL1[<|>LABEL2[<|>LABEL3...]][<||>COUNT[<||>UNIT]] where [] parts may miss, the LABEL indicates a HTML representation for the level in the header of the chart, the COUNT field indicates the value for the Level.Count property and the UNIT field indicates the Level.Unit property.
*Added: Chart.Label property supports alternative labels. For instance: the "<%ss%><|><%nn%>:<%ss%><||>5" indicates that the level displays the second in double digits or minute following the seconds if it fits entirely to the level, from 5 to 5 seconds.
*Added: Level.Label property supports alternative labels. For instance, the "<%mmm%> <%d%>, '<%yy%><|><%ww%><|><|>256" indicates that the levels displays weeks ( exWeek = 256 ), does not update the Count property, and displays the number of the week or the starting date of the week in format <%mmm%> <%d%>, '<%yy%>. The 256 is required as for instance, the format <%mmm%> <%d%>, '<%yy%> indicates a exDay unit instead exWeek.
*Added: The Chart.Zoom method may uses predefined alternate labels, for best fit.
*Chang: All default values for the Chart.Label and Chart.Tooltip properties have been updated to support alternative labels.
5.1.1.2 Nov 02, 2011
*Added: The Background(exDragDropList...) may be called during the OLEDragOver event to specify the image on the item from the cursor while drag and drop operation is performed.
