ExG2antt: *Fixed: The FilterBarBackColor property does not support EBN objects (The last 7 bits in the high significant byte of the color to indicates the identifier of the skin being used. Use the Add method to add new skins to the control. If you need to remove the skin appearance from a part of the control you need to reset the last 7 bits in the high significant byte of the color being applied to the background's part)
ExG2Host: *Added: The Description(exFilterBarExclude) allows ex-html format (ability to replace the "Exclude" field with your custom ex-html string)
ExG2Host: *Added: The Items.ItemBar(exBarHAlignCaption) / Items.ItemBar(exBarExtraCaptionHAlign) supports 32(0x20) flag which indicates that the bar's caption fits the bar and view (that bar's caption is aligned relative to the intersection of the bar with the view)
ExG2Host: *Added: The Items.ItemBar(exBarCaptionHOffset) / Items.ItemBar(exBarCaptionVOffset) property gets or sets the horizontal / vertical offset to show the bar's caption relative to its default position
ExGrid: *Added: The drop down values of an Editor object can be enumerated using the for each syntax. For instance, "Dim i As Variant: For Each i In .Editor: Debug.Print i, .Editor.FindItem(i): Next" enumerates the values and captions within the column's Editor object (Editor property)
ExGrid: *Fixed: The column is not visible anymore, once you ungroup it (remove it from the control's sort/group bar), after the control's layout/arrangement has been restored using the Layout property (SortBarVisible, AllowGroupBy property)
ExGrid: *Fixed: Scolls the control's header on the fly, when user scrolls the control's content by drag and drop (AutoDrag property on exAutoDragScroll)

EXMLGrid: *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.
ExPropertieList: *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.
ExPropertieList: *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.

ExG2antt: *NEW: Z-Events support (Standard .NET event patterns)
ExG2antt: *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
ExG2antt: *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

In other words, the Layout property serializes the columns float bar (visibility and position)
ExGrid: *Fixed: The HeaderSingleLine property is ignored if the control's header displays multiple levels of columns (Column.LevelKey property)
ExGrid: *Added: The state of the newly inserted child-item is automatically set on 1, if the column-partial check feature is enabled and the parent-item's state is 1 (Items.CellState, Column.PartialCheck)
ExList: *Fixed: Prevents showing the vertical scroll bar, when it is not required when control is running in virtual mode ( ScrollBars, VirtualMode, UnboundHandler, DataSource property )

ExOrgChart: *Added: Minimize unnecessary invalidation calls during drag and drop operations
ExPivot: *Added: GridLinesStyleEnum.exGridlinesGeometric flag. The control's gridlines are drawn using a geometric pen. A geometric pen can have any width and can have any of the attributes of a brush, such as dithers and patterns (a cosmetic pen can only be a single pixel wide and must be a solid color, but cosmetic pen are generally faster than geometric pens.
ExPivot: *Added: Serializes the ScrollBySingleLine, Items.ItemHeight, Items.ItemMinHeight, Items.ItemMaxHeight, to XML format the LoadXML/SaveXML method

ExCascadeTree: *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 specifies the size to show the icons using the Column.HeaderImage, Items.CellImage or Items.CellImages property, the cell's check-box or radio-button using the Column.Def(exCellHasCheckBox), Column.Def(exCellHasRadioButton), Items.CellHasCheckBox, Items.CellHasRadioButton property, the default-size of <img>number[:width]</img> tags within ex-html captions, unless the width is not specified, the size of expand/collapse glyphs, sorting icon (ascending or descending), drop-down or close filter button. The ImageSize property defines the size (width/height) of the icons within the control's Images collection.

ExLabel: *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.
ExList: *Added: FormatABC method formats the A,B,C values based on the giving expression and returns the result. For instance, FormatABC("dpi") returns a numeric value that indicates the display settings ( aspect ratio ).

ExPropertiesList: *Fixed: No file is generated by CopyTo method if the file name ends with spaces
ExPropertiesList: *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)
ExRecord: *NEW: Built-In Multiple-Columns Drop-Down Editor support
ExRecord: *Added: The Editor.AddItem / Editor.InsertItem method allows using ¦ character (vertical broken bar, ALT + 221) to define captions for for multiple columns (available for DropDownType, DropDownListType and PickEditType editors). While the ¦ character is not escaped (such as "\¦") it specifies the separator of captions for each column. The | character (pipe, vertical bar, ALT + 126) defines the key or identifier of the item to add. In conclusion, the format of the Caption parameter (Editor.AddItem / Editor.InsertItem method) is "key|caption¦caption¦...¦caption", which indicates an item with the giving key / identifier, which displays multiple captions. For instance, "<b>New York</b> City" defines the "New York City" item, "NYC|<b>New York</b> City" the "New York City" item with the "NYC" as key or identifier, "NYC|<b>New York</b> City¦783.8 km²¦8.42 mil" defines the "New York City" item with the "NYC" as key or identifier and sub-captions 783.8 km² and 8.42 mil (in separated columns)
ExRecord: *Added: The Editor.Option(exDropDownColumnCaption) property specifies the HTML caption for each column within the drop down list, separated by ¦ character (vertical broken bar, ALT + 221).

ExTexture: *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
ExTexture: *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)

ExContextMenu: *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.

ExSwimlane: *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.
ExSwimlane: *Fixed: The Background (exToolTipForeColor) property does not apply to the tooltip's title
ExThumbnail: *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.
