Exontrol ExRadialMenu Component - Release Notes (https://exontrol.com/exradialmenu.jsp)
18.0.0.2 Oct 07, 2024
*Added: Enhances the loading speed of EBN files
*Added: The `format` operator of expression properties supports formatting the time values, using h, hh, H, HH (hours with no/leading zero for single-digit hours; 12/24-hour clock), m, mm (minutes with no/leading zero for single-digit minutes), s, ss (seconds with no leading zero for single-digit seconds), t, tt (one character time marker string, such as A or P, or multi-character time marker string, such as AM or PM). For instance, the "date(value) format `hh:mm:ss tt`" returns the time in a 12-hour clock representation with hours, minutes, seconds, and an AM/PM indicator.
*Fixed: The Background(exToolTipAppearance) call might be time-consuming
18.0.0.1 Jun 17, 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 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.
17.0.0.4 Dec 13, 2023
*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 `format` operator of expression properties supports formatting the date values, using d, dd, ddd, ddd (day of the month as digits, with or without leading zeros, abbreviated day of the week, day of the week as specified by the current locale ), m, mm, mmm, mmmm (month as digits, with or without leading zeros, abbreviated month, month as specified by the current locale), y, yy, yyy, yyyy (year represented only by the last digits, by a full four or five digits, depending on the calendar used) literals. For instance, the "date(value) format `mmm d, yyyy`" gets the value in MMM d, YYYY format using the current locale, such as "Jan 12, 2023"
*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)
17.0.0.3 Oct 04, 2023
*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 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
17.0.0.2 Aug 09, 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 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
17.0.0.1 Mar 20, 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
16.0.0.2 Nov 02, 2022
*Added: PowerBuilder 21.0 sample
*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)
*Fixed: Clicking (Custom) property generates "Class Not Registered" error (Windows x64, 'Looking for object with CLSID:{7EBDAAE1-8120-11CF-899F-00AA00688B10}')
16.0.0.1 Jun 20, 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
15.0.0.3 Oct 13, 2021
*Added: Documentation for eXRadialMenu/JS (http://exontrol.com/rhelp.jsp?product=exradialmenu&config=/js)
*Added: The expression properties supports `bias` constant that defines the difference, in minutes, between Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and local time. For example, Middle European Time (MET, GMT+01:00) has a time zone bias of "-60" because it is one hour ahead of UTC. Pacific Standard Time (PST, GMT-08:00) has a time zone bias of "+480" because it is eight hours behind UTC. For instance, date(value - bias/24/60) converts the UTC time to local time, or date(date('now') + bias/24/60) converts the current local time to UTC time
*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)
15.0.0.2 Jun 09, 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
15.0.0.1 Feb 08, 2021
*Added: ExRadialMenu.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: 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 Jun 10, 2020
*Fixed: Any expression that includes the "in" operator fails.
*Fixed: FormatAnchor(False) = vbNullString fails (vbNullString is a special VB constant that denotes a null string. The "" literal is an empty string)
13.0.0.1 Apr 15, 2019
*Added: DisplayRadialEnum.exDisplayRadialRotated90(4) value is similar with DisplayRadialEnum.exDisplayRadialRotated, excepts that it rotates back with 90 degree, so it's pie-oriented.
*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.
12.0.0.1 Jun 27, 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).
11.0.0.2 Dec 04, 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.
11.0.0.1 Sep 06, 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 )
*Fixed: Prevents "Do you want to save ..." / "Save changes...' input box, when the user opens the form in design mode, and close it.
10.0.0.1 Sep 19, 2016
