Exontrol ExListBar Component - Release Notes (https://exontrol.com/exlistbar.jsp) 20.0.0.1 Oct 23, 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 Icon parameter of the ReplaceIcon method supports loading an icon in various ways. If the ICON is not provided via its handle, it will attempt to load it from a picture using its reference, the full path to the picture file, or the picture's content encoded as BASE64 strings using the eXImages tool. *Fixed: Prevent returning the event parameter by reference when accessing the EventParam(index) property. For example, PowerBuilder generates a 'Bad runtime function reference' error if an event parameter passed by reference is accessed through the EventParam(index) property 19.0.0.5 Jan 24, 2024 *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 *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. 19.0.0.4 Oct 18, 2023 *Added: The ShowToolTip method can be used to update the object's tooltip, title or position. For instance, ShowToolTip(`<null>`,`<null>`,,`+8`,`+8`) during MouseMove event, shows the tooltip of the object moved relative to its default position. *Fixed: The ShowToolTip() method works improperly as it may show the tooltip to a different position *Added: The exFull flag (16 or 0x10) of HighLightItemEnum type specifies whether the item can be selected while cursor hovers its full-part, not only its icon or caption. The exFull flag can be combined with exIcon, exCaption or exUnion 19.0.0.3 Jul 24, 2023 *Added: Update the samples to support x64 configuration (/COM version) *Added: The Handle parameter of the Images() method supports a string expression that specifies the ICO file to add. 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("c:\temp\copy.ico") method adds the sync.ico file to the control's Images collection (string, loads the icon using its path) *Fixed: No control frame is shown in design-mode under MS Excel's spreadsheet 19.0.0.2 Mar 22, 2023 *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: The AttachTemplate method fails if using "handle" keyword on x64 version *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) 19.0.0.1 Dec 12, 2022 *Added: DPI-Aware Support *Added: New visual appearance for all internal icons to support high DPI resolution (100%, 125%, 150%, 175%, 200% and 300%) *Fixed: The internal icons are stretched and look distorted when DPI scaling is not 100% 18.0.0.2 Oct 10, 2022 *Fixed: Clicking (Custom) property generates "Class Not Registered" error (Windows x64, 'Looking for object with CLSID:{7EBDAAE1-8120-11CF-899F-00AA00688B10}') *Fixed: The Background (exToolTipForeColor) property does not apply to the tooltip's title *Fixed: A GPF may occur on closing the form/window/dialog if one or more events are handled by AttachTemplate method 18.0.0.1 Jun 01, 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 17.0.0.2 Apr 04, 2022 *Added: ExListBar.pdf (include the control's documentation in PDF format) *Added: PowerBuilder 21.0 sample 17.0.0.1 Mar 05, 2021 *Added: Sets or gets the control's Font property in design mode, for the /NET version *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) *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 16.0.0.1 Nov 06, 2020 *Fixed: FormatAnchor(False) = vbNullString fails (vbNullString is a special VB constant that denotes a null string. The "" literal is an empty string) *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 15.0.0.1 Jul 22, 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. 14.0.0.1 May 16, 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). 13.0.0.1 Oct 25, 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. *Fixed: Prevents "Do you want to save ..." / "Save changes...' input box, when the user opens the form in design mode, and close it. 12.0.0.1 Jul 20, 2017 *Added: The Version property includes the SpecialBuild number of the assembly so it provides information like Major.Minor.Build.Revison.SpecialBuild.Type... *Fixed: Prevents a memory leak when loading icons, pictures, from BASE64 encoded strings (Images method, HTMLPicture picture). *Fixed: A GPF occurs if the application is started from design mode ( demo / evaluation / trial version only ) 11.0.0.1 Feb 10, 2016 *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. *Fixed: Prevents showing the control's view in design mode, while running on FORTH system ( /COM version ) 10.0.0.3 Aug 19, 2015 *Added: The Version property for /NET or /WPF version returns more information about the component/assembly/file. *Fixed: An ICO file shows as 18x18 instead of 16x16 pixels if it is loaded using the HTMLPicture method. 10.0.0.2 May 11, 2015 *Added: </solidline>, </upline>, </dotline> HTML tags ends the solid, up or dotted line *Added: Prevents showing the ,.;!?'")}] characters at the beginning of a new line, when html text is word-wrapping. *Fixed: The last italic character of a HTML caption may be shown as clipped 10.0.0.1 Mar 02, 2015 *NEW: Support for EBN 1002 version. *Added: The EBN 1002 allows using skin objects with horizontal, vertical stretch and colorable/not-colorable parts of the EBNs. *Fixed: A Click event occurs right after DblClick event. 9.0.0.1 Jun 04, 2014 *NEW: Windows 8.1 64-bit compatibility *Added: The /COM 64-bit version is compatible with Microsoft Office Applications: Excel 2013, Access 2013,... *Added: The /NET(/WPF) 64-bit version is compatible with Microsoft NET Framework 4, 4.5, 4.5.1, ... *Fixed: "Visual C++ Runtime Error!" occurs if using the <fgcolor> or <bgcolor> with no indicating the color.
