Exontrol EXMLGrid Component - Release Notes (https://exontrol.com/exmlgrid.jsp) 18.0.0.7 Oct 30, 2024 *Added: The ToolTipMargin property defines the size of the control's tooltip margins. By default, the size of the tooltip margin is "4" (horizontal and vertical). For instance, ToolTipMargin = "8" changes the horizontal and vertical margins are set to 8 pixels. ToolTipMargin = "8,4" changes the horizontal margin to 8 pixels and the vertical margin to 4 pixels. *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. 18.0.0.6 Jul 08, 2024 *Added: DefaultItemHeight property retrieves or sets a value that indicates the default item height. *Fixed: A GPF may occur on closing the form/window/dialog if one or more events are handled by AttachTemplate method *Fixed: Can't type SPACE within the edit field of the drop down column's filter (Column.DisplayFilterPattern property) 18.0.0.5 Mar 18, 2024 *Added: The control's tooltip is shown when the cursor hovers it no matter if the window that hosts the control is activated *Added: Update the samples to support x64 configuration (/COM version) *Fixed: No control frame is shown in design-mode under MS Excel's spreadsheet 18.0.0.4 Jan 24, 2024 *Fixed: Can't use the control on Excel sheet. *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) 18.0.0.3 Oct 18, 2023 *NEW: Support for "FileGroupDescriptor" and "FileContents" clipboard format, or ability to accept messages or attachments by drag and drop from the MS Outlook application (or any other applications that use these clipboard format) *Added: During the OLEDragDrop event the Data.Files.Count property returns the number of messages or attachments being dropped, while Data.Files(index) property returns the fully path-name of the file that contains the message or the attachment. The control automatically extracts the message/attachment's content to a temporarily file, as you would drop a file from Windows Explorer. *Fixed: The Data.Files(i) property returns only the first letter of the file rather than the full name of the dragged file (/COM version) 18.0.0.2 Jul 24, 2023 *NEW: Ability to specify the size to show the icons within the control *Added: DPI-Aware support *Added: ImageSize property specifies the size of the control' icons. By default, the ImageSize property is 16. The control's Images collection is cleared if the ImageSize property is changed, so it is recommended to set the ImageSize property before calling the Images method. For instance, if the ICO file to load includes different types the one closest with the size specified by ImageSize property is loaded by Images method. 18.0.0.1 Mar 15, 2023 *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% *Fixed: A GPF may occur on closing the form/window/dialog if one or more events are handled by AttachTemplate method 17.0.0.2 Aug 17, 2022 *Added: PowerBuilder 21.0 sample *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 17.0.0.1 Apr 26, 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 16.0.0.1 May 26, 2021 *Added: EXMLGrid.pdf (include the control's documentation in PDF format) *Added: The Images method supports the Microsoft ImageList ( mscomctl.ocx, MSComctlLib.ImageList type) object directly.

The Microsoft ImageList object is available for /COM on x86 and x64 machines (starting from Access 2016) 15.0.0.2 Jan 06, 2021 *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. *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 Nov 09, 2020 *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). 14.0.0.3 Sep 14, 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. 14.0.0.2 Jul 06, 2020 *Added: The Version property includes the SpecialBuild number of the assembly *Fixed: A GPF occurs if the application is started from design mode ( demo / evaluation / trial version only ) *Fixed: Prevents "Do you want to save ..." / "Save changes...' input box, when the user opens the form in design mode, and close it. 14.0.0.1 May 18, 2020 *Added: "Clear Visual Design" and "Edit Visual Design" are available for /NET version on design mode. *Fixed: Prevents showing the control's view in design mode, while running on FORTH system ( /COM version ) *Fixed: Prevents a memory leak when loading icons, pictures, from BASE64 encoded strings (Images method, HTMLPicture picture). 13.1.0.4 Apr 08, 2020 *NEW: Ability to serialize the control's content as a text using the SaveXML method *Added: The SaveXML method exports the control's content as a string, if the Destination parameter is a reference to a string. For instance, The syntax Dim s As String: G2antt1.SaveXML s: MsgBox (s), saves and displays the control's content in XML format as a string. *Added: The LoadXML method loads an XML document using the supplied string. *Added: Node.Picture support keys of pictures being added using the HTMLPicture property of the control. 13.1.0.3 Jan 29, 2020 *Added: Search(What, How) property searches for a node, using the How criteria.

The property can be combined with SelBackColor using different EBN colors. *Added: The AddNode(Node) event is fired during the LoadXML method *Added: Background(exCollapseButtonUp) property specifies the visual appearance for the expand button, when it is up, and the node is collapsed. *Added: Background(exCollapseButtonUp) property on -1, prevents showing the node's expand button, when it is collapsed 13.1.0.1 Sep 09, 2019 *NEW: Unlimited options to show any HTML text, images, colors, EBNs, patterns, frames anywhere on the node's background. Ability to draw additional EBN/Color/Text/Patterns/Images on the node, using the EBN String Format (create and run at runtime EBN objects), when it is expanded or collapsed. *Added: Node.BackgroundExt(State) property indicates additional colors, text, patterns, images that can be displayed on the node's background using the EBN string format, when the node is collapsed or expanded. For instance, Node.BackgroundExt(exCollapseBackgroundExtState) = "bottom[4,back=RGB(0,0,0)],top[4,back=RGB(0,0,0)]" draws a 4-pixels wide line aligned to the top and bottom sides of the node, while the node is collapsed. The Node.BackgroundExt(exExpandBackgroundExtState) = "bottom[10%+12,back=RGB(255,0,0),text=`<img>alert</img><b>Alert!`,align=0x11]" displays the alert picture and the Alert! caption as bold, on the RED background, on the bottom portion of the node (10%+12 pixels-wide from the object's client area, when the node is expanded). *Added: Node.BackgroundExtValue(State,Index,Property) property gets or sets a value that indicates the value of giving property for the object with indicated index. This property has effect only if the BackgroundExt(State) property is set. The BackgroundExtValue property allows you to change programmatically, the properties of the parts that composes the EBN object. For instance, BackgroundExtValue(0,exFrameColorExt) = RGB(255,0,0) draws a red frame around the root part of the object. For instance, you can use this property to change properties ( like colors ) of the EBN without having to assign a new EBN string format *Tip: The EBN is a set of UI elements that are built as a tree where each element is anchored to its parent element. The BackgroundExtValue property can change properties like: exBackColorExt (element's background color, including other EBN objects), exClientExt (position/size of the element), exAnchorExt (element's alignment relative to its parent), exTextExt (associates a HTML text on the element), exTextExtWordWrap (word wrapping of the elements text), exTextExtAlignment (alignment of the element's text), exPatternExt (pattern to be shown on the element), exPatternColorExt ( color of the pattern on the element ), exFrameColorExt (color to show the border-frame on the element), exFrameThickExt (shows a thick-frame around the element), exUserDataExt (associates an extra-data with the element) *Tip: The eXButtons's builder WYSWYG tool provides the To String field, that indicates the EBN string format that can be used by BackgroundExt/BackgroundExtValue properties. 13.0.0.3 May 06, 2019 *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.

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 you want to use another character, enter it in the third part of your mask. Only the first character is considered. 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 11.0.0.6 May 23, 2016 *NEW: Restrict data input by using validation rule for input-mask fields ( CauseValidateValue and Editor.Mask ) *Added: The Editor.Mask property supports "invalid=value" ( in forth part of the Imput-Mask ), which indicates the html message to be displayed when the user enters an inappropriate value for the field. If the control's CauseValidateValue property is not exNoValidate and value of the invalid keyword is not empty, the field is keep opened until the user enters an appropriate value ( ValidateValue event is failed with the Cancel parameter on True ). If the value is single space, no message is displayed and the field is keep opened while the value is inappropriate. For instance, "!(999) 000 0000;;;invalid=The value you entered isn't appropriate for the input mask <b>'<%mask%>'</b> specified for this field." displays the message "The value you entered isn't appropriate for the input mask '...' specified for this field." tooltip once the user leaves the field and it is not-valid ( for instance, the field includes entities required and uncompleted ). The <%mask%> keyword in value, substitute the current mask of the field, while the <%value%> keyword substitutes the current value ( including the literals ). *Added: Ability to change/define the default mask for the ColorType field, using the Editor.Mask property. For instance, if the Editor.Mask property is "`RGB(`{0,255}\,{0,255}\,{0,255}`)`;;0", the colors are displayed/edited in RGB format. *Added: The default mask for the ColorType field is "`&H`XXXXXXXX`&`;;0;overtype,insertype", which shows color using ABGR/RGBA format 11.0.0.5 Mar 28, 2016 *Added: The Editor.DropDownAlignment property aligns the drop down portion too.
