Infralution is pleased to announce the release of Version 4 of Virtual Tree. This is a major new release that now includes full support for Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) to enable to the use of screen readers and other accessibility aids.
This release also includes the following new features:
- Added properties (RowData.Image, RowData.ExpandedImage, ExpandImage, CollapseImage, SortAscendingImage, SortDescendingImage, FocusImage, ErrorImage and PinImage) to allow the use of Images (as an alternative to Icons) for all bitmapped visual elements. Using images instead of icons allows the use of Project Resources (as well as Local Resources) and also simplifies the use of alpha blended images. Internally Virtual Tree now uses Images for all bitmapped elements. The Icon properties have been retained for backward compatibility but now just convert to/from the internal image format.
- Added Padding property to Style class. This allows you to specify the padding that should be used around cell content.
- Added ClipboardWatcher component - that makes it easy for forms and controls to receive notifications of changes to the clipboard.
- Added FormatValueText property to CellData and CellBinding classes. This property allows you to control whether the cell text is generated by formatting the cell value (using the Format property) or by converting the cell value to string using its type converter.
- Added FormatToolTipText and FormatErrorText properties to CellData and CellBinding classes. These properties allow you to control whether the CellData.ToolTip and CellData.Error strings are used as format strings and can contain placeholders for the cell value.
- Added FormatUsingTypeConverter property to CellData and CellBinding classes. This property allows you to specify that the cell value should be first converted to a string using the associated type converter before it is formatted. This can be useful where the type converter provides functionality that is not available through String.Format.
- Changed CellWidget layout so that if CellBinding.PreviewSize Width or Height is set to zero (0) then the preview is automatically sized to the cell width or height. Note that you can now also use Padding to control the offset of the preview inside the cell.
See the Release Notes for full details of other changes. Version 3 and Version 4 can be installed side by side if required.
This release is a major (paid) upgrade - the last paid upgrade for Virtual Tree was for Version 3 released in Jun 2006! For a limited time customers who have purchased Virtual Tree 3 can upgrade to Version 4 from only $US40 for a single developer license. See the Purchase Page for full pricing details. Customers who have purchased Virtual Tree 3 in the last 2 months are eligible for a free upgrade to Version 4. _________________ Infralution Support |
