Exontrol ExPropertiesList Component - Release Notes (https://exontrol.com/expropertieslist.jsp)
23.0.0.9 Oct 30, 2024
*Added: The Background(exScrollHoverAll/500) property specifies whether the hover-all feature is by default (0), always on (-1) or disabled(1). By default (Background(exScrollHoverAll) = 0), the left/top, right/bottom and thumb parts of the control' scrollbars are displayed in hover state while the cursor hovers any part of the scroll bar (hover-all feature). The hover-all feature is available on Windows 11 or greater, if only left/top, right/bottom, thumb, lower and upper-background parts of the scrollbar are visible, no custom visual-appearance is applied to any visible part. The hover-all feature is always on If Background(exScrollHoverAll) = -1. The Background(exScrollHoverAll) = 1 disables the hover-all feature.
*Added: Show the Left/Top or Right/Bottom buttons of the control's scrollbar on Windows 11 or greater, while the cursor hovers the scrollbar's background.
*Fixed: The scroll button's appearance is restored to normal instead of hover state when the mouse button is released
23.0.0.8 Jul 17, 2024
*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
*Fixed: Can't generate portrait orientation for PDF documents using the CopyTo method. For instance, the CopyTo("preview.pdf|210mm x 297mm") generates landscape instead portrait orentation.
23.0.0.7 Apr 10, 2024
*Added: The control's tooltip is shown when the cursor hovers it no matter if the window that hosts the control is activated
*Fixed: No file is generated by CopyTo method if the file name ends with spaces
*Fixed: The CopyTo() method for PDF documents, converts missing units for paper's size or margins to mm (previously points if no other unit is specified). For instance, CopyTo("preview.pdf|297 x 210mm") generates a PDF document of "8.27 x 4.13 in" instead of "11.69 x 8.27 in" (the mm is missing right after 297)

*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
21.0.0.1 Nov 08, 2021

19.0.0.2 Apr 26, 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
19.0.0.1 Feb 22, 2021
*Added: ExPropertiesList.pdf (include the control's documentation in PDF format)
*Added: The Images method supports the Microsoft ImageList ( mscomctl.ocx, MSComctlLib.ImageList type) object directly. Shortly, you can define the control's images by calling Images(ImageList1.Object). The ImageList1.Object returns the object of MSComctlLib.ImageList type. The Microsoft ImageList object is available for /COM on x86 and x64 machines (starting from Access 2016)
*Fixed: Can't select a different date, for properties of DATE type, while using Regional settings (Windows System) for date like ddd.dd.mm.yyyy (Su.15.02.2021)

*Fixed: Sometimes, the user can't scroll to the last item, if the last scrollable item is partially visible.
14.0.0.1 Oct 15, 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).
13.0.0.4 Aug 08, 2018
*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 )
13.0.0.3 Apr 11, 2018
*Added: The Version property includes the SpecialBuild number of the assembly so it provides information like Major.Minor.Build.Revison.SpecialBuild.Type...
*Added: A property that display child items, shares the entire item's area, while it's EditType is zero or negative ( no editor )
*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.

*NEW: Optimizing the component's UI, for usage on 4K (Ultra HD) applications.
*Added: Improves the performance when the control is scrolling up or down, using the up or down scroll-buttons or/and when rotating the mouse wheel ( vertical scrolling faster )
*Added: Prevents refreshing the entire control, when the user resizes the column.
*Added: Sorts the properties if a new object is spied, if previously, the Sort method has been called
12.0.0.3 Nov 17, 2017
*NEW: Unlimited options to show any HTML text, images, colors, EBNs, patterns, frames anywhere on the property's background. Ability to draw additional EBN/Color/Text/Patterns/Images on the property, using the EBN String Format (create and run at runtime EBN objects)
*Added: Property.CellBackgroundExt(Column) property indicates additional colors, text, patterns, images that can be displayed on the property's background using the EBN string format. For instance, Property.CellBackgroundExt(0) = "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 property. The Property.BackColorExt = "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 property (10%+12 pixels-wide from the object's client area).
*Added: Property.CellBackgroundExtValue(Column,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 CellBackgroundExt property is set. The CellBackgroundExtValue property allows you to change programmatically, the properties of the parts that composes the EBN object. For instance, CellBackgroundExtValue(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 CellBackgroundExtValue 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 BackColorExt/BackColorExtValue properties.
12.0.0.2 Oct 25, 2017
*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.
*Fixed: 0 or -1 is displayed for properties of boolean type
12.0.0.1 Jul 12, 2017
*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%
11.0.0.7 Jun 05, 2017
*NEW: Ability to display the properties using single or multiple lines
*Added: Property.SingleLine property. Displays the property's name or value using one or more lines.

AT products work with MSAA enabled applications in order to provide better access for individuals who have physical or cognitive difficulties, impairments, or disabilities.
*Added: Template\New contains all code required to spy any exontrol component on the form. Just place the eXPropertiesList/COM next to any exontrol component on your form, right click, select Template page, click New, Apply, OK, and then run the form. Click the Spy icon, and drag over the exontrol component you want to browse. The eXPropertisList will browse all properties and objects of the component being selected.

*Added: The CopyTo property copies the control's content to BMP, PNG, JPG, TIF or GIF format. Previously, the CopyTo property can save the control's content to EMF format only. The extension of the File argument indicates the graphical format to be saved. For instance, the CopyTo("c:\temp\snapshot.png") property saves the control's content in PNG format to snapshot.png. If File parameter provides an unknown extension, the control's content is saved in EMF format ( Enhanced Metafile Format ). The control's content is serialized as it would have no scroll bars.
*Added: The CopyTo property copies the control's content to PDF format, if the extension of the File argument indicates a pdf extension. For instance, the CopyTo("c:\temp\snapshot.pdf") property saves the control's content in PDF format to snapshot.pdf. The control's content is serialized as it would have no scroll bars. The File argument could indicates more parameters separated by | character, in the following order: filename.pdf | paper size | margins | options where the filename indicates the name of the pdf to be saved, the paper size indicates the size of the paper to be used ( by default A4 paper, 8.27 in x 11.69 in ), margins defines the paper's margins ( by default, 0.5 in 0.5 in 0.5 in 0.5 in ) and options currently can be single which indicates that whole control is saved to a single paged PDF document.
