Exontrol ExContextMenu Component - Release Notes (https://exontrol.com/excontextmenu.jsp) 18.0.0.1 Oct 14, 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: Enhances the loading speed of EBN files *Fixed: The Background(exToolTipAppearance) call might be time-consuming 17.0.0.4 Jan 17, 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: 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. 17.0.0.3 Oct 02, 2023 *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 17.0.0.2 Jul 21, 2023 *Added: Update the samples to support x64 configuration (/COM version) *Fixed: No control frame is shown in design-mode under MS Excel's spreadsheet *Fixed: The AttachTemplate method fails if using "handle" keyword on x64 version 17.0.0.1 Mar 13, 2023 *NEW: Ability to specify the size to show the icons/images/check-boxes/radio-buttons within the control *Added: ImageSize property specifies the size of control' icons/check-boxes/radio-buttons. 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. The ImageSize property defines the size (width/height) of the icons within the control's Images collection. 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. The ImageSize property does NOT change the height for the control's font(Font) 16.0.0.2 Nov 23, 2022 *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: A GPF may occur on closing the form/window/dialog if one or more events are handled by AttachTemplate method 16.0.0.1 Aug 17, 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 15.0.0.1 Apr 13, 2022 *Added: New visual appearance for all internal icons to support high DPI resolution (100%, 125%, 150%, 175%, 200% and 300%) *Fixed: The Background (exToolTipForeColor) property does not apply to the tooltip's title *Fixed: The internal icons are stretched and look distorted when DPI scaling is not 100% 14.0.0.4 Sep 22, 2021 *Added: PowerBuilder 21.0 sample *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 *Fixed: On some machines, the format keyword (within expression properties) provides more than 2 decimals for French(Canada) regional settings (for instance "12.3456 format ``" displays 12.3456 instead of 12.35) 14.0.0.3 Aug 25, 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: Improves the conversion of the string to date, while using Regional settings (Windows System) for date like ddd.dd.mm.yyyy (Su.15.02.2021) 14.0.0.2 May 31, 2021 *Added: ExContextMenu.pdf (include the control's documentation in PDF format) *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: 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 14.0.0.1 Jan 25, 2021 *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. *Fixed: The item's EditValue property returns the masking/placeholder characters, even the second parameter of the mask, includes 1, 2 or 3 values. For instance, "[mask=0000;1]" specifies the item's editing-mask displays 4 digits place-holders, and the item's EditValue returns the value(number) without including the masking/placeholder characters. So if the item's mask diplays: 12__, the item's EditValue returns "12" rather than "12__". *Fixed: A GPF occurs if using right, readonly, multiline or password options into an item of mask-editor. 13.0.0.6 Dec 02, 2020 *Added: dBASE Plus samples *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 sub-menu's / select drop down's arrow shows distorted when Windows's DPI is on. 13.0.0.5 Oct 19, 2020 *NEW: Multiple improvements for expression-like properties *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. 13.0.0.4 Aug 24, 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. *Fixed: Resizes the drop down popup / select arrow based on the current DPI settings. 13.0.0.3 Jul 01, 2020 *Added: The Version property includes the SpecialBuild number of the assembly so it provides information like Major.Minor.Build.Revison.SpecialBuild.Type... *Fixed: A GPF occurs if the application is started from design mode ( demo / evaluation / trial version only ) *Fixed: Prevents a memory leak when loading icons, pictures, from BASE64 encoded strings (Images method, HTMLPicture picture). *Fixed: Prevents showing the control's view in design mode, while running on FORTH system ( /COM version ) 13.0.0.2 May 13, 2020 *NEW: Support for EBN 1004 version ( DPI-Aware support ). *Added: 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%. 13.0.0.1 Mar 18, 2020 *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: The buttons are not size correctly, with the Windows set to Classic theme. 12.0.0.3 Jan 22, 2020 *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 ) 12.0.0.2 Sep 23, 2019 *Added: ToString property Loads or saves the Items collection using string representation (shortcut of Items.ToString property). *Added: Item.ToString property loads or saves the item using string representation. *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" 12.0.0.1 Jun 24, 2019 *NEW: Template/X-Script support *Added: The Event(EventID) event occurs once the control fires an event (available for /COM version only) *Added: EventParam(Parameter) property retrieves or sets a value that indicates the current's event parameter ( Event(ID) event ). *Added: Template property specifies the control's template. *Added: ExecuteTemplate(script) property executes the giving x-script and returns the result *Added: TemplateDef 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 ) 11.2.0.3 Apr 23, 2019 *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. *Fixed: In xBase++, the context menu is shown at position 0, 0 once the Select method is called. *Fixed: "Error executing code: FormActiveXControl (data source), method ... called with invalid parameters" on Dynamics AX environment is fired, if the application handles events with parameters passed by reference. On X++ you should use the Event event and EventParams method to handle this exception.
