18.0.1.2 Sep 09, 2024
*Added: Serializes the visibility and position of the columns float bar using the Layout property. The "ColumnsFloatBar" and "ColumnsFloatBarRect" fields of Layout content save/load the visibility/position of the columns float bar. In other words, the Layout property serializes the columns float bar (visibility and position)
*Fixed: The HeaderSingleLine property is ignored if the control's header displays multiple levels of columns (Column.LevelKey property)
*Added: The state of the newly inserted child-item is automatically set on 1, if the column-partial check feature is enabled and the parent-item's state is 1 (Items.CellState, Column.PartialCheck)

18.0.1.1 Aug 07, 2024
*Fixed: FormatAnchor(False) = vbNullString fails (vbNullString is a special VB constant that denotes a null string. The "" literal is an empty string)

18.0.0.8 Mar 07, 2024
*NEW:   Ability to sort by value, state or cell's image
*Added: The Column.SortType property supports exSortByValue (0x10) (the column gets sorted by cell's value rather than cell's caption). For instance, Column.SortType = SortNumeric | exSortByValue (0x11), sorts the column numerical by value, no matter how the column is formatted (Column.FormatColumn property)
*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.

*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.
*Fixed: The Items.CellState property can not be changed during the Open event of a Form ( MS Access ) 
*Fixed: The abc font name displays three-dots if Editor.EditType property is FontType

17.2.0.7 Feb 13, 2023

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.
*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: The Layout property of the control does not update/clear the control's filter, if Column's FilterType is specified.

17.2.0.6 Jan 18, 2023
*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.
*Fixed: The exFilterExclude flag is not serialized by control's Layout property. The exFilterExclude flag indicates whether the column's filter is reversed.

*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: Ensures that the cell being edited/focused fits the control's client area when it is used in a higher item (CRD,ScrollBySingleLine, Column.Def(exCellFormatLevel))
*Fixed: Typing characters into the cell's editor may be slower while CauseValidateValue property is True and (CRD,ScrollBySingleLine, Column.Def(exCellFormatLevel))
*Fixed: Sometimes, the user can't scroll to the last item, if the last scrollable item is partially visible.

17.2.0.4 Sep 26, 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.

17.2.0.3 Jul 06, 2022
*Fixed: Prevents showing the column being dropped to the Columns floating-bar with a different background color ( ColumnsFloatBarVisible, Background(exCursorHoverColumn) )
*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: Prevents toggling the cell's check-box, while it has no focus. ( FullRowSelect is exItemSel, ShowFocusRect is True or MarkSearchColumn is True )
*Fixed: The FindItem(vbNullString) method ( Editor object ) fails.

17.2.0.2 Jun 02, 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)

17.2.0.1 Mar 28, 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 ColumnsFloatBarVisible property of ColumnsFloatBarVisibleEnum type, retrieves or sets a value that indicates whether the the columns float bar is visible or hidden. Currently, the Columns float bar can display hidden columns or groupable columns ( Column.AllowGroupBy property on True ). Previously, the ColumnsFloatBarVisible property was of Boolean type, and displays the hidden columns only, with the Column.AllowDragging propertyon True. For instance, if the ColumnsFloatBarVisible property is exColumnsFloatBarVisibleIncludeGroupByColumns(1), the Columns float bar displays all columns that are not displayed by the control's sort bar ( SortBarVisible property ), and the Column.AllowDragging and AllowGroupBy properties are True )
*Fixed: The Items.SelectItem property returns 1 instead of -1 / True value.

17.1.0.4 Mar 07, 2022
*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: Prevents showing the vertical scroll bar, when it is not required when control is running in virtual mode ( ScrollBars, VirtualMode, UnboundHandler, DataSource property )
*Fixed: The Items.SelectableItem property returns 1 instead of -1 / True value.
*Fixed: The Items.SelectItem property returns 1 instead of -1 / True value.

17.1.0.3 Feb 02, 2022
*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 )
*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: A black frame is shown around the control if using ViewModeOption(exTableView,exBorderHeight) or ViewModeOption(exTableView,exBorderWidth) property.
*Fixed: Clears the Items collection before calling the UnboundHandler property.

17.1.0.2 Dec 15, 2021
*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: 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.
*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 )

17.1.0.1 Nov 10, 2021
*NEW:   Ability to export the control's content to HTML format ( including CSS )
*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 ).

17.0.0.8 Oct 13, 2021
*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

*Fixed: Prevents editing the focused item when the control gains the focus, but no item is selected.

17.0.0.7 Sep 15, 2021
*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.
*Fixed: Sometimes, can't select by drag items if the ColumnAutoResize property is False
*Fixed: The Items.ItemMinHeight and ItemMaxHeight properties are DPI compatible.

*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.
*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%

17.0.0.4 Mar 24, 2021
*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: 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.

17.0.0.2 Dec 14, 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.

17.0.0.1 Nov 02, 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.

16.2.0.1 Oct 30, 2020
*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: Prevents showing the column's caption vertically when it is displayed on control's GroupBy/Sort-bar. ( Column.HeaderVertical, SortBarVisible property )
*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 )
*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

16.1.0.6 Oct 12, 2020
*NEW:   The Expression of the ConditionalFormat/ComputedField/FormatColumn supports %CS0, %CS1, ... and %CD0, %CD1, ... keywords which indicates the state of the cell ( Items.CellState property ), and cell's extra data ( Items.CellData property ) on the column with the index 0, 1, ... For instance, "%CS0" defines all checked items on the column with the index 0, or "not %CS1" defines all un-checked items in the column with the index 1. For instance, "%CD0 = `your user data`" specifies all cells whose CellData property is `your user data`
*Added: The ConditionalFormat.Expression, Items.FormatCell or Column.FormatColumn property supports %CS0, %CS1, ... and %CD0, %CD1, ... keywords which indicates the state of the cell ( Items.CellState property ), and cell's extra data ( Items.CellData property ) on the column with the index 0, 1, ...

16.1.0.2 Apr 06, 2020
*Added: The ItemFromPoint( 0, -1, ColIndex) property returns the number of rows, between current cursor position and the the last fully-visible item of the control. The ItemFromPoint( 0, -1, ColIndex) property returns a positive value only, if the cursor hovers empty-portion of the control ( right after the last item ). The ColIndex parameter returns the index of the column from the cursor, while the cursor hovers the items section of the control.
*Added: The CellStateChanging( Item, ColIndex, by ref NewState ) event notifies your application when the cell's check box is about to be changed. For instance, you can disable changing the cell's state by setting the NewState parameter to Items.CellState( Item, ColIndex )
*Added: The items in the drop down filter panel, gets sorts as string, numeric, date/time, based on the Column.SortType property.

*Added: Column.Def(exColumnResizeContiguously) property gets or sets a value that indicates whether the control's content is updated while the user is resizing the column. By default, the Column.Def(exColumnResizeContiguously) property is False, which indicates that the control's content is updated once the user releases the mouse during resizing the column. For instance, you can use the Column.Def(exColumnResizeContiguously) property on True, if you have a column with Column.Def(exCellSingleLine) property on False ( word-wrap ), and you want the user to visually see the changes while resizing.
*Added: Improves the time to add new items, using the Items.InsertItem(,,,) or Items.AddItem(), when value/caption parameter is missing.

*NEW:   Ability to clone the column's editor
*Added: The EditType.CloneType flag of Column.Editor.EditType property specifies that the current column uses the editor of a different column. The Column.Editor.EditType property must be EditType.CloneType + Index, where Index is the index of the column whose editor is used instead, in the current column. For instance, you have more columns that displays same data, and so you can use the same drop down for it, to select a different value. In other words, you define the editor once, and uses it on any other columns. For instance, Column.Editor.EditType = CloneType + 2, indicates that the Column uses the editor of the column with the index 2.   
*Added: The ScrollBarsEnum.exVScrollEmptySpace (0x800) flag in ScrollBars property, allows empty space on the control's content, when the it is vertically scrolled to the end. In other words, scrolling control to the end makes the last visible item to be displayed on the top of the control.
*Added: The ScrollBarsEnum.exHScrollEmptySpace (0x400) flag in ScrollBars property, allows empty space on the control's content, when the it is horizontally scrolled to the end. In other words, scrolling control to the end makes the last visible column to be displayed in the leftmost position.
*Fixed: Prevents a memory leak when loading icons, pictures, from BASE64 encoded strings (Images method, HTMLPicture picture).

16.0.0.2 Sep 30, 2019
*NEW:   Support for EBN 1003 version.
*Added: EBN 1003 implements 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.
*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.
*Added: Includes the Locked-Items fields to Export method

16.0.0.1 Jul 29, 2019
*Added: DPI-Aware Support
*NEW:   Support for EBN 1004 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 coordinates of the CP clause of the Skin parameter of VisualAppearance.Add method can be followed by a D character, which indicates the value according to the current DPI settings. For instance, "CP:1 -2 -2 2 2", copies the EBN with the identifier 1, and displays it on a 2-pixels wider rectangle no matter of the DPI settings, while "CP:1 -2D -2D 2D 2D" displays it on a 2-pixels wider rectangle if DPI settings is 100%, and on on a 3-pixels wider rectangle if DPI settings is 150%.
*Added: The expression properties support `dpi`, `dpix` and `dpiy` constants that returns the current DPI setting on x/y scale. For instance, the "value * dpi" returns the value if the DPI setting is 100%, or value * 1.5 in case, the DPI setting is 150%

15.0.0.8 Jul 17, 2019
*Added: `MIN` and `MAX` binary-operators to get the MIN and MAX value. For instance, the expression `value MIN 10 MAX 100` returns always a value between 10 and 100.
*Added: `sin`, `asin`, `cos`, `acos` unary-operators to get the associated trigonometric functions. For instance `2 * asin(1)` returns the value of PI
*Added: `sqrt` unary-operator returns the square root of the element, so sqrt(81) returns 9, as 9^2 is 81
*Added: date(`now`) unary-operator returns the current date-time ( as double ), while the date(``) returns the current date ( no time included )
*Fixed: The control's BackColorAlternate is shown incorrectly, after calling the Items.RemoveAllItems or Columns.Clear method

*Fixed: Prevents changing the value of the cell's checkbox editor ( CheckValueType editor ), if the user presses the SPACE key, when the Editor.Locked property is True ( locked editor )
*Added: lfind binary-operator for format/expression. The a lfind b searches the first occurrence of the string b within string a, and returns -1 if not found, or the position of the result ( zero-index ). For instance, `ABCABC` lfind `D` returns -1, while  `ABCABC` lfind `C` returns 2.
*Added: rfind binary-operator for format/expression. The a rfind b searches the last occurrence of the string b within string a, and returns -1 if not found, or the position of the result ( zero-index ). For instance, `ABCABC` rfind `D` returns -1, while  `ABCABC` rfind `C` returns 5.
*Added: reverse unary-operator for format/expression. The reverse(a) reverses the order of the characters in the string a, For instance, the reverse("Mihai") returns "iahiM"
*Fixed: The control fails if the user presses the enter key, on the Filter For field of a drop down filter with an empty content ( Column.FilterType property is exNumeric )

*Added: UnboundHandler interface can be used to implement unbound mode, in VFP 9.0, instead of  IUnboundHandler interface which produces OLE-Error #1420 stating "Object is invalid or corrupt". The VFP 9.0 can not implement interfaces derives from IUnknown interface directly.
*Added: VFP\VirtualMode.VFP.9.0 sample
*Fixed: The same item is being displayed multiple times, if user presses the page up key, while the control is running in virtual mode ( VirtualMode property is True, UnboundHandle property is not null ) and the Column.Def(exCellSingleLine) property is set on False.

11.0.0.6 Jan 30, 2017

*Fixed: A GPF occurs if the application is started from design mode ( demo / evaluation / trial version only )
*Fixed: The Column.AutoWidth property ignores the Column.Def(exCellPaddingLeft) and Column.Def(exCellPaddingRight). The same if the user double-clicks the space between two columns in the header section.

11.0.0.4 Dec 21, 2016
*Added: EditingText property specifies the caption of the editor while the control is in edit mode.
*Added: Invokes the ValidateValue/Change event when the user presses the Enter key or selecting a new value from the drop down, if the CauseValidateValue property is set

*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: Sometimes, the FocusChanged event is not fired if clicking the cell's white area ( no text ), and so the previously editing cell is not changed.
*Fixed: The control fails if loading data several times with no using the BeginUpdate/EndUpdate methods.

10.3.0.3 Jun 20, 2016

*Fixed: Clips the columns' background to lock/un-lock part of the control if the FullRowSelect property is exRectSel.

10.3.0.2 May 09, 2016
*NEW:   Ability to displays the matching items only, no parent or child, if no match
*Added: The FilterInclude property on exMatchingItemsOnly, specifies that the control displays the items that match the filter so no parent or child is displayed if no match. For instance, if your control displays a hierarchy the parent or child items are not included, if they do not match the filter. 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.
*Fixed: Sometimes, the selection is lost, once the mouse is released during scrolling, while the user selects several cells by dragging ( FullRowSelect property )

*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 Edit event is fired when the user clicks or presses the space key on a cell of EditTypeEnum.CheckValueType type. You can prevent changing the cell's value/state by setting the Cancel parameter of Edit event on True.
*Fixed: The column's visibility is not restored once the user drags back the column from the group-by bar to the control, if the list contains no items ( AllowGroupBy on True, SortBarVisible on True )

For instance, the Items.CellEditorVisible property on exEditorVisible specifies that the cell's editor is shown all the time, not only when the cell receives the focus
*Added: The Editor.Mask property, supports up to four parts, separated by a semicolon (;). For instance, "`Time: `00:00:00;;0;overtype,warning=<fgcolor FF0000>invalid character,beep", indicates the pattern "00:00" with the prefix Time:, the masking character being the 0, instead _, the field enters in over-type mode, insert-type mode is not allowed, and the field beeps and displays a tooltip in red with the message invalid character when the user enters an invalid character.

Currently, the special characters separated by space are: # 0 9 x X A a L ? & C > < * { } , [ ] - \    
*Added: The second part is optional and refers to the embedded mask characters and how they are stored within the field. If the second part is set to 0 ( default ), all characters are stored with the data, and if it is set to 1, the literals are stored, not including the masking/placeholder characters, if 2, just typed characters are stored, if 3, optional, required, editable and escaped entities are included (no double quoted text is included).
*Added: The third part of the input mask is also optional and indicates a single character or space that is used as a placeholder. By default, the field uses the underscore (_).

If this part should display/use the  semicolon (;) character is should be \; ( escape )
*Added: The forth part of the input, indicates a list of options that can be applied to input mask, separated by comma(,) character as follow: float,grouping,decimal,negative,digits,password,right,readonly,inserttype,overtype,nocontext,beep,warning,select,empty,validate

*Added: CTRL + A, selects all text in caret-type editor.
*Added: Advances to the next field if the current entity is a number, and there is no other possibility. For instance, having the input mask such as "{0,23}:{0,59}:{0,59}", and user types 12, the cursor is advanced to the next field automatically.
*Added: The mask editor selects the entity from the cursor, when user double clicks it. For instance, having the "10:20", clicking the 2 will highlight 20, instead the entire text
*Added: Ability to specify the mask's value with or without literals. For instance, having (####) ###-###, the mask field is completed if setting 0744845287, (0744)845287, (0744) 845 287, or (0744) 845-287, and so on

*Fixed: Disables using the Delete key in edit mode, if the KeyCode parameter is 0 during the KeyDown event.
*Fixed: The second parameter (Parent) of PutItems method is ignored ( /NET and /WPF version )

5.1.0.7 Jan 17, 2011
*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: The 'in', 'switch' and 'case()' functions available for properties such us: Column.ComputedField, Column.FormatColumn, ConditionalFormat.Expression
