exlist - what's new
19.1.0.1 Mar 11, 2024
*NEW:   Ability to export the control's content to HTML format ( including CSS )
*Added: The Destination parameter of the Export method could be "htm" or "html" or a file with the extension "htm" or "html" indicates that the control's content is exported in HTML format. If the Destination parameter points to a valid file name, it will be created.
*Added: The Export method exports the control's content as ANSI, no matter of the control's configuration, unless the forth field of the Options parameter is not unicode. Shortly, you can export the control's content as UNICODE by calling a code like  Export Destination, "|||unicode"
*Fixed: The Export method includes the visible items only, if any filter is applied to the control ( excludes the chk and sel options ).

18.0.0.7 Jan 08, 2024
*Added: The Background(exColumnsPositionSign) specifies the visual appearance for the position sign between columns, when the user changes the position of the column by drag and drop. By default, the Background(exColumnsPositionSign) property is 0, which indicates that the default position sign is shown when the user change the column's position by drag and drop.
*Added: Shows the drop down filter and tooltip panels to the nearest monitor relative to the cursor position.
*Fixed: Sometimes, can't select by drag items if the ColumnAutoResize property is False
*Fixed: The Items.ItemMinHeight and ItemMaxHeight properties are DPI compatible.
*Fixed: The Items.ItemHeight property sets the height using DPI conversion.

18.0.0.6 Oct 16, 2023
*NEW: The Expression of the ConditionalFormat/ComputedField/FormatColumn supports %C0, %C1, .... which indicates the caption of 
the cell as displayed, while the %0, %1, gets the value of the cell. The cell's value may be different than what the cell 
displays as a string. For instance, let's say a cell display HTML format. The %0 returns the html format including the HTML tags, 
while %C0 returns the cell's content as string without HTML tags.
*Added: The Items.FormatCell or Column.FormatColumn property supports %C0, %C1, ... which indicates the content of the cell as string, on the column with the index 0, 1, and so on... For instance the, "%C0 + %C1" concatenates the first two cells, which is similar with a computed field per cell. In other words, you can have computed field per cells, using the Items.FormatCell, not only using the Column.ComputedField property which is applied to the entire column.

18.0.0.5 Apr 24, 2023
*Added: The Background(exFooterFilterBarButton) property on -1 hides permanently the close button of the control's filter bar.
*Fixed: Disables the default beep being played when the user presses the Enter, Escape or CTRL + F key on control's filter bar
*Fixed: Can't select the focus-item with the arrow keys, if it selectable while the view displays a single item and the SingleSel property is False.

18.0.0.4 Feb 06, 2023
*Added: Shows the hand cursor when the cursor hovers the open-filter button of the column's header or close button of the control's filter bar
*Fixed: The drop down filter panel is closed as soon as it shows up, if it is displayed over the current cursor location
*Fixed: Corrects the shadow effect for drop down panels like filters, editors, tooltips,... on systems with DPI setting not-100%
*Fixed: The user can't use the column's filter button being shown in the control's columns floating bar ( ColumnsFloatBarVisible property )

18.0.0.3 Jan 04, 2023
*Added: Background(exSelForeColorHide) / Background(exSelBackColorHide) property specifies the selection's foreground and background colors when the control has no focus. This has effect while the control's HideSelection property is False
*Added: AllowSelectNothing property specifies whether the current selection is erased, once the user clicks outside of the items section. For instance, if the control's SingeSel property is True, and AllowSelectNothing property is True, you can un-select the single-selected item if pressing the CTRL + Space, or by CTRL + click.
*Added: SelectOnRelease property indicates whether the selection occurs when the user releases the mouse button. By default, the selection occurs, as soon as the user clicks an object. The SelectOnRelease property has no effect if the SingleSel property is False, and SelectByDrag property is True.
*Fixed: Hides the hot-tracking item as soon as control's content is scrolled ( rotating the mouse wheel for instance ), selection is changed ( any of arrow key is pressed for instance ).

18.0.0.2 Oct 03, 2022
*NEW:   FilterBarCaption property supports expressions, and UI  Column's Filter
*Added: The FilterBarCaption property supports expressions, so its evaluated value defines the HTML caption to be displayed on the control's filter bar. By default, the FilterBarCaption property is empty, so the control's automatically computes the filter bar's label based on the filter of each column. If no filter is selected, no filter label is generated. The FilterBarCaption property supports the following predefined keywords: value or current ( defines the control's current filter label, as it is displayed ), itemcount keyword returns the number of all items within the control, visibleitemcount keyword indicates the number of visible items within the control ( negative value indicates that the control has a filter applied, equivalent with the Items.VisibleItemCount property ), matchitemcount keyword indicates the number of items that currently matches the control's filter ( negative value indicates that the control has a filter applied, equivalent with the Items.MatchItemCount property ), promptpattern keyword specifies the currently pattern for the filter's prompt ( this is eligible, if the FilterBarPromptVisible property includes the exFilterBarPromptVisible flag ), available keyword returns a list of columns that are currently not filtered, but available to be filtered for ( Column.DisplayFilterButton property on True ) as a HTML string, allui keyword returns a HTML caption that includes all columns with Column.DisplayFilterButton property on True, including the value for each column's filter if it is filtered, all keyword returns a HTML caption that includes all columns including the value for each column's filter if it is filtered. For instance, FilterBarCaption = "`<r>` + value" aligns the filter bar's label to the right, the "value replace `[` with `<fgcolor=808080>[` replace `]` with `]</fgcolor>`" shows the column's name with a different color, "`<b><r>` + value + `</b><fgcolor=808080>` + ( matchitemcount < 0 ? ( ( len(value) ? `<br>` : `` ) + `<r>` + abs(matchitemcount + 1) + ` result(s)` ) : ``)" displays the number of results in the control's filter bar and so on.
*Added: Ability to clear / select new filter value from the column's filter panel, if the user clicks the column's caption of the control's filter bar. The value, current, available, allui or all keyword of the FilterBarCaption property returns a HTML caption that includes the column's caption between [<b> and </b>] if the column is currently filtered ( shows as bold between brackets ), between <fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s> and </s>]<fgcolor> if the column is not currently filtered ( shows in strikeout as gray between brackets ). The all, allui and available keywords uses the <fgcolor> </fgcolor> sequence (uncolored space) to separate the parts on the control's filter description. You can use predefined functions like replace to change the appearance of the column in the control's filter bar. For instance, "all replace `<s>` with `` replace `</s>` with ``" removes the strikeout effect for available and not-filtered columns, "allui replace `[<b>` with `<bgcolor=000000><fgcolor=FFFFFF><b> ` replace `</b>]` with ` </b></fgcolor></bgcolor>`" shows the filtered columns on white on a black background, "value + `<r>` + available replace `<fgcolor=C0C0C0>` with `<fgcolor=FF0000>`" shows the currently filter on the left, while the available filter on the right in red, 
*Added: The Items.MatchItemCount property retrieves the number of items that match the filter. If negative it indicates that a filter is applied, and its absolute value minus 1 specifies the count of items that match the filter criteria. If zero, no items are loaded into the control, and so no filter is applied. If positive, it indicates the total number of items within the control equivalent with the Items.ItemCount property. 
*Added: Items.VisibleItemCount property returns negative value, if the control has a filter applied. The negative value represents a formula of -( count + 1 ), where count indicates the number of matching items. For instance, if the Items.VisibleItemCount property returns -1, the count of matching items is 0, if -2, 1 matching item, if -3, 2 matching items, and so on.

18.0.0.1 May 25, 2022
*NEW:   Radical Improvements for control's Filter-Prompt-Bar
*Added: The FilterBarPromptVisible property of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, specifies how the control's filter bar is displayed and behave. Previously, the FilterBarPromptVisible property was of Boolean type. By default, FilterBarPromptVisible property is exFilterBarHidden, so no filter bar is shown. Even so, the control's filter bar is shown as before, as soon as the user selects a value from the control's filter list, so a filter is applied. The FilterBarVisibleEnum type includes several flags that can be combined together, as described bellow.
*Added: The exFilterBarPromptVisible, exFilterBarVisible, exFilterBarCaptionVisible flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, forces the control's filter-prompt, filter bar or filter bar description ( even empty ) to be shown.
*Added: The exFilterBarSingleLine flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, specifies that the filter bar's caption is shown on a single line, so <br> HTML tag or \r\n are not handled. By default, the control's filter description applies word wrapping. Can be combined to exFilterBarCompact to display a single-line filter bar. 
*Added: The exFilterBarToggle flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, specifies that the user can close the control's filter bar ( removes the control's filter ) by clicking the close button of the filter bar or by pressing the CTRL + F, while the control's filter bar is visible. If no filter bar is displayed, the user can display the control's filter bar by pressing the CTRL + F key. While the control's filter bar is visible the user can navigate though the list or control's filter bar using the ALT + Up/Down keys.
*Added: The exFilterBarShowCloseIfRequired flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, indicates that the close button of the control's filter bar is displayed only if the control has any currently filter applied. The Background(exFooterFilterBarButton) property on -1 hides permanently the close button of the control's filter bar. 
*Added: The exFilterBarShowCloseOnRight flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, specifies that the close button of the control's filter bar should be displayed on the right side. If the control's RightToLeft property is True, the close button of the control's filter bar would be automatically displayed on the left side.
*Added: The exFilterBarCompact flag of FilterBarVisibleEnum type, compacts the control's filter bar, so the filter-prompt will be displayed to the left, while the control's filter bar caption will be displayed to the right. This flag has effect only if combined with the exFilterBarPromptVisible. This flag can be combined with the exFilterBarSingleLine flag, so all filter bar will be displayed compact and on a single line.

17.0.0.6 Mar 30, 2022
*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
*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 )
*Added: Update the column's sort icon, so it won't be shown as distorted on DPI systems.
*Fixed: Closes the control's drag and drop image when user drops data to any other control. For instance, a MessageBox during the target's OLEDragDrop event will keep showing the control's drag and drop picture ( Background(exDragDropAfter) property, /COM version )
*Fixed: Sometimes the user can't drop data to a target control ( OLEDragDrop event is not fired, or fired for the source control, /COM version )

17.0.0.5 Mar 09, 2022
*Added: Support for multiple-lines for column's caption (including Column.HTMLCaption) when it is vertically displayed ( Column.HeaderVertical property is True, control's HeaderSingleLine property is False )
*Fixed: The column's caption is not displayed if the control's font is "MS Sans Serif" and the Column.HeaderVertical property is True
*Fixed: The column's caption is not vertically aligned if it contains \r\n sequences ( EOL )
*Fixed: Prevents showing the column's caption vertically when it is displayed on control's GroupBy/Sort-bar. ( Column.HeaderVertical, SortBarVisible property )

17.0.0.4 Jan 24, 2022
*NEW:   Multiple improvements for expression-like properties such as: ConditionalFormat.Expression, Column.FormatColumn, Items.FormatCell and so on
*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.

17.0.0.3 Dec 13, 2021
*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 )

17.0.0.2 Nov 08, 2021
*Fixed: Removing certain objects during events of the control may fail. (DELETEIT)
*Fixed: Sometimes, aGPF may occur if calling the Items.RemoveAllItems during an event.
*Fixed: Prevents "Do you want to save ..." / "Save changes...' input box, when the user opens the form in design mode, and close it.

17.0.0.1 Sep 22, 2021
*NEW:   Reduce the base-memory usage
*Added: Improves the performance to load data into the control.
*Added: FreezeEvents(Freeze) method prevents firing any event. For instance, FreezeEvents(True) freezes the control's events, no no event is fired, until the FreezeEvents(False) is called.
*Added: Statistics property, gives statistics information about objects being hold by the control.

16.1.0.3 Aug 09, 2021
*Added: The items in the drop down filter panel, gets sorts as string, numeric, date/time, based on the Column.SortType property.
*Added: The Version property includes the SpecialBuild number of the assembly so it provides information like Major.Minor.Build.Revison.SpecialBuild.Type...
*Fixed: Sometimes, the insensitive-case filter does not apply correctly to items that contain accented letters ( French Accents Characters ) like:       , ... ( /COM Ansi version only )

16.1.0.2 May 12, 2021
*NEW:   Incremental Search and Filter Support for the drop down filter panel. The Incremental search/filter feature for the drop down filter panel is valid while the Filter For field is not displayed. For instance, if the drop down filter list displays hundreds of items, you can start typing and it includes just the items that match your typing characters.
*Added: Column.DisplayFilterPattern on False hides the Filter For: field in the drop down filter panel, and so the incremental search/filter is allowed on the drop down filter panel. As soon as you type, the drop down list includes the items that match the typed characters only.
*Added: Improves the performance to load data into the control.
*Fixed: The Column.FilterBarDropDownWidth property is 0.00, instead of 1.00, so the column's drop down filter panel is not shown, while the Column.FilterBarDropDownWidth property is not changed to a non-zero value (/NET and /WPF versions only)

16.1.0.1 Mar 08, 2021
*NEW:   Ability to use the VirtualMode in Microsoft VFP 9.0
*Added: UnboundHandler interface can be used to implement unbound mode, in VFP 9.0, instead of  IUnboundHandler interface which produces OLE-Error #1420 stating "Object is invalid or corrupt". The VFP 9.0 can not implement interfaces derives from IUnknown interface directly.
*Added: VFP\VirtualMode.VFP.9.0 sample
*Fixed: The control fails to display data if a numeric filter is applied to a column, while the Exclude flag is set ( FilterList includes exShowExclude flag, FilterType is exNumeric ).

16.0.0.4 Jan 13, 2021
*Added: AllowAutoDrag( Item, InsertA, InsertB, ref Cancel ) event occurs when the user drags the Item between InsertA and InsertB items. The Cancel parameter can be used to prevent dropping items to certain items, while control's AutoDrag property is any of exAutoDragPosition values.
*Added: Allows exporting data of hidden columns, when its index is specified in the second field of the Options parameter of the Export method. For instance, Export("","all|1") exports the second column ( column with the index 1, 0 based ), no matter if it is hidden or visible.
*Fixed: The same item is being displayed multiple times, if user presses the page up key, while the control is running in virtual mode ( VirtualMode property is True, UnboundHandle property is not null ) and the Column.Def(exCellSingleLine) property is set on False.
*Fixed: The Background(exListOLEDropPosition), Background(exDragDropListOver),, Background(exDragDropListOver), Background(exDragDropListBetween), Background(exDragDropListTop),  Background(exDragDropListBottom) visual appearance are not hidden, once the user leaves the control, while user performs the OLE Drag and Drop ( /COM version )
*Fixed: The Background(exDragDropListOver), Background(exDragDropListOver), Background(exDragDropListBetween), Background(exDragDropListTop),  Background(exDragDropListBottom) visual appearance are not properly rendered on the control, when the user performs OLE Drag and Drop inside the control ( /COM Version )

16.0.0.3 Nov 23, 2020
*Added: Improves the time to add new items, using the Items.Add(), when value/caption parameter is missing.
*Fixed: The Column.AutoWidth property ignores the Column.Def(exCellPaddingLeft) and Column.Def(exCellPaddingRight). The same if the user double-clicks the space between two columns in the header section.
*Fixed: The Column.SortOrder or "singlesort", "multiplesort" fields on Layout property does not perform any sorting, if the control's SortOnClick property is exNoSort.
*Fixed: The column's header is shown at different location if the user clicks it, while the Column.Def(exHeaderPaddingLeft) or/and Column.Def(exHeaderPaddingRight) property is not-zero

16.0.0.2 Oct 12, 2020
*NEW:   Ability to specify whether a column is updated contiguously while resizing, or only when the user releases the mouse
*Added: Column.Def(exColumnResizeContiguously) property gets or sets a value that indicates whether the control's content is updated while the user is resizing the column. By default, the Column.Def(exColumnResizeContiguously) property is False, which indicates that the control's content is updated once the user releases the mouse during resizing the column. For instance, you can use the Column.Def(exColumnResizeContiguously) property on True, if you have a column with Column.Def(exCellSingleLine) property on False ( word-wrap ), and you want the user to visually see the changes while resizing.
*Added: The cell's caption uses the full cell's content, so <c> and <r> centers or right-aligns the cell's caption relative to the cell's available content ( by excluding the cell's check, images and pictures ), if the cell's caption format is exHTML ( Items.CaptionFormat property, Column.Def(exCaptionFormat) property )
*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 )

16.0.0.1 Aug 21, 2020
*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.
*Fixed: Prevents repainting the entire control when the control gains or loses the focus, focusing a new column, and so on

15.0.0.2 Jul 13, 2020
*NEW:   Support for EBN 1003 version.
*NEW:   Ability to export values on multiple lines, by quoting them, when Export method is performed
*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.
*Added: Quotes text when using the Export method, if content includes any of "\r\n or delimiter character
*Fixed: Click and drag or double click the empty area of the control, while SingleSel property is false, select the last item

15.0.0.1 May 25, 2020
*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%

14.0.0.8 Apr 29, 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 )
*Fixed: Sometimes the control displays no items, but still showing the vertical scroll bar, when the user deletes multiple items ( Items.RemoveItem method )

14.0.0.7 Mar 16, 2020
*Added: Validates the cell's content when the user presses the TAB key while editing.
*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"
*Fixed: Can't use Enter key while editing a cell, on ExHelper.
*Fixed: Prevents showing the control's view in design mode, while running on FORTH system ( /COM version )

14.0.0.6 Jan 20, 2020
*Added: Allows newly added items to be visible, while control has a filter applied ( Call the ApplyFilter method, during Change, KeyDown, ... event in order to re-apply the filter on the new items ).
*Added: The FilterPromptEnum.exFilterPromptStartWith or exFilterPromptEndWith is not applied for all columns ( FilterBarPromptColumns property is -1 )
*Fixed: The space after text is not highlighted if incremental search is on, and cell displays built-in HTML decorative text ( sha, out, gra )
*Fixed: Resets the column's filter if the user empties the Filter For field a drop down numeric filter ( Column.FilterType property is exNumeric )
*Fixed: The pictures of a disabled item are not visible or shown at a different position, while the cursor hovers the item. 

14.0.0.5 Sep 23, 2019
*Added: Items.VisibleItemCount property returns negative value, if filtering is applied on the control ( the control has a filter applied ). The negative value represents a formula of -( count + 1 ), where count indicates the number of matching items. For instance, if the Items.VisibleItemCount property returns -1, the count of matching items is 0, if -2, 1 matching item, if -3, 2 matching items, and so on.
*Added: The column's header displays the position of sorting order, if the control has multiple sorted-columns, while SortBarVisible property is False ( SingleSort property is False )
*Fixed: The a mod b expression fails, if b is zero or negative.
*Fixed: The a mid b expression fails, if b expression is greater than the length of the a
*Fixed: The control fails if the user presses the enter key, on the Filter For field of a drop down filter with an empty content ( Column.FilterType property is exNumeric )

14.0.0.4 Jun 24, 2019
*Added: The Version property for /NET or /WPF version returns more information about the component/assembly/file.
*Added: Ability to filter programmatically for blank/empty items, if the Column.Filter property is "" ( empty string ), or include empty values between | characters, while Column.FilterType property is exFilter. For instance, Column.Filter property on "|Item1|Item2" specifies to filter the list for blank/empty items, Item1 or Item2, while Column.Filter property on "" indicates to include just the blank/empty items (Column.FilterType property is exFilter)
*Fixed: Prevents horizontal scrolling the control's content if the EnsureVisibleColumn is called for any locked column ( CountLockedColumns property ).
*Fixed: Prevents horizontal scrolling the control's content if the user clicks a locked column ( CountLockedColumns property ).
*Fixed: An ICO file shows as 18x18 instead of 16x16 pixels if it is loaded using the HTMLPicture method.

14.0.0.2 Apr 08, 2019
*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
*Fixed: Sometimes, the insensitive-case filter does not apply correctly to items that contain accented letters ( French Accents Characters ) like:       , ... ( /COM Ansi version only )

6.1.0.2 Aug 01, 2011
*NEW: The 'in' function in computing formulas increases significantly the time to evaluate it. For instance, if you have the formula such us 'value = 1 or value = 2 or value = 22 or value = 45 or value = 12', ... you can have the 'value in (1, 2, 22, 45, 12)'. In other words, if the set contains about 1000 elements for instance, the evaluator takes max 8 checking to determine if the specified value fits the set, else requires 1000 checking is required to verify each or condition in the sequence.
*NEW: The 'case()' function includes any number of case instances. A 'case' instance may contains a statement that is executed once the value is found in the 'case' collection. The 'case' unary operator gets the value being specified by respective statement or the value itself. For instance, the 'int(value) case (1 : value + 1 ; 2 : value * 2)' specifies that if the value is 1 the statement returns 2, while if the value is 2, the statement returns 4, and for any other value it returns the value itself. Also the 'case()' can be used with 'switch' as for instance "%0 switch ('not found',11,22,33,44,55) case (11 : %0 + %1 ; 22 : %1 * 1.19; 33 : len(str(%0)))" indicates that if the value in the column 0 is 11, the result will be the sum between first column and second column, else if the value is 22 the result is the second column value multiplied by 1.19, else if the value is 33 the return is the length of the value in the first cell, if the value is 44 or 55, the result is 44 or 55, while for any other value the result will be 'not found'. The 'in', 'switch' and 'case()' increases significantly the speed to evaluate constant values instead using 'and', 'or' operators to build complicated formulas that could be time consuming.
*NEW: The 'switch' function similar with 'in' function retrieves the value being found in the collection, or a default value if the element is not found. The first element in the collection is the result being returned by 'switch' function when the value is not found in the collection, else the 'switch' returns the value itself. All elements in the collection MUST be constant values. For instance, the "value switch ('not found', 11, 23, 45, 129, 123,99)" means that if the value is 33, the 'not found' string is returned, while if the value is 45, the switch returns 45.
*Added: The 'in', 'switch' and 'case()' functions available for properties such us: Column.ComputedField, Column.FormatColumn, ConditionalFormat.Expression
*Fixed: The Column(0).Position = 1 does not work, while the Column(1).Position = 0 works for a control with 2 columns.

*Added: Column.FormatColumn property formats the cell's value based on the specified formula and displays the result on the cell. For instance the "len(value) ? currency(value) else ``" displays the column using the current format for currencies, for all cells that actually contains any data
*Added: Improves the performances when parsing the HTML formats.
*Fixed: If the Column.FilterOnType property is True, the filter is applied twice so the time is doubled.
