  • ExplorerTreeView 1.15.0

    ExplorerTreeView 1.x isn’t dead yet, just a bit rusty. 🙂 I’ve released version 1.15.0 which has some performance improvements and – more important – runs much more stable. Many thanks to Christian Lütgens for helping me nailing down the AutoUpdate crashes by providing helpful crashdumps and bug reports.
    Speaking of crashdumps, ExplorerTreeView 1.x comes with (stripped) debug symbols now.

  • ExplorerTreeView 2.0.0 RC2

    I’ve released a second release candidate of ExplorerTreeView 2.0.0. I made some compatibility breaking changes to improve performance and to avoid incompatibilities with other controls of mine. You should read the changelog to see what has changed in detail and how your code needs to be changed. I think most of you will get away with a simple recompile.
    Now to the better part of this release 😉 You can now specify whether you want Aero drag images or classic style drag images. I’ve also implemented two new events that are raised if the sort order is changed. And of course I’ve fixed bugs.
    Under the hood, I’ve worked hard on the interface for the yet-to-be-released shell browser controls. I consider it to be complete.

  • ProgressBar 2.1.3, StatusBar 1.2.1, TabStrip 1.3.1, TrackBar 1.2.3

    I have some more releases for you. All four are bugfix releases. Like announced yesterday, I’m shipping stripped debug symbol files (*.pdb) now.

  • Animation 2.2.1, ButtonControls 1.4.3, ComboListBoxControls 1.1.0, DateTimeControls 1.1.1, EditControls 1.4.2

    Happy new year!

    I’ve released updates of Animation, ButtonControls, ComboListBoxControls, DateTimeControls and EditControls. The ComboListBoxControls update is a larger one and includes a new feature. The other updates contain minor fixes and tweaks only.
    I’ve also started to ship stripped debug symbol files (*.pdb) with the binaries. This will give you more detailed stack traces when creating crash dumps or debugging your program with a symbolic debugger like Visual C++.

  • ComboListBoxControls 1.0.0

    I found time earlier than expected, so I could finish ComboListBoxControls. I fixed some bugs, completed the feature set and added two C++ samples. Unfortunately I had to break compatibility – but it’s better to do this two weeks after the initial release than after one year.

  • ComboListBoxControls 1.0.0 Release Candidate 1

    I know that many of you are waiting for Unicode combo and list box controls. I had planned to release them around October 15th, but I had too many other things to do. Even today, the controls are not yet fully ready for release. They need much more testing, the sample projects are incomplete, and I’m thinking about one more feature (AutoUpdate) for the DriveComboBox control. But since I won’t be able to work on the controls in November (and maybe December), I’m releasing them now, tagged as release candidate. You can start using the controls, but shouldn’t be surprised if you come across bugs.

    The control library contains a combo box control, a list box, an image combo box and a drive combo box. All controls support drag’n’drop, the list box also supports item tool tips. The combo box and list box support an owner draw mode, which e. g. can be used when displaying a list of all fonts installed on the system.

    I won’t start working on new controls anytime soon. Instead I’ll concentrate on final releases of ExplorerListView 1.0 and ExplorerTreeView 2.0 (and of course ComboListBoxControls). And there’s also the ShellBrowserControls library, which is delayed due to some hard-to-solve show stoppers.

  • ButtonControls 1.4.2, EditControls 1.4.1

    I’ve released updates of ButtonControls and EditControls. For ButtonControls, I mainly improved the data-binding support of the CheckBox control. For EditControls, I mainly fixed some serious drawing issues that had been introduced with version 1.4.0. See the changelogs for details.

  • DateTimeControls 1.1.0

    Here’s another update of DateTimeControls. I’ve added a new property “Value”. You may wonder why I did this, as there’s already the “CurrentDate” property. Well, “CurrentDate” is of type “Date”. This causes problems with data-binding if the table contains NULL values. Those NULL values should be handled as “no selection made”, i. e. the “DateSelected” property should be set to “False” on such a NULL value. However, you would need to bind 2 properties for 1 column. I doubt this is possible.
    I could have changed the type of “CurrentDate” to “Variant” and change its implementation so that setting this property to a NULL value is handled as if “DateSelected” was being set to “False”. But this would have broken binary compatibility. Therefore I introduced a new property that combines “CurrentDate” and “DateSelected”.

  • Animation 2.2.0, ButtonControls 1.4.1, EditControls 1.4.0, StatusBar 1.2.0

    I’ve released updates of Animation, ButtonControls, EditControls and StatusBar. Animation, ButtonControls and StatusBar got the usual bugfixes. As for the controls released two weeks ago, I could lower the usage of GDI objects.

    Animation and StatusBar support Windows 7 now, too. EditControls got some new features. See the changelog for details.

  • DateTimeControls 1.0.1, ProgressBar 2.1.2, TabStrip 1.3.0, TrackBar 1.2.2

    I’ve released updates of DateTimeControls, ProgressBar, TabStrip and TrackBar. Nothing spectacular, mainly bugfixes. I could also lower the usage of GDI objects and make the binaries a bit smaller.

    ProgressBar and TrackBar support Windows 7 now, too. Both controls also got 1-2 new features. Actually, version numbers 2.2.0 and 1.3.0 would have fit better, but this awareness comes a bit too late…

    TabStrip also has got a new feature. Using the OLEDragImageStyle property, you can choose between Aero style OLE drag-images and classic OLE drag-images. If the system supports only classic ones, then of course those will be used even if the control is configured to produce Aero drag images. And of course all this applies only if you let the control create the drag-image instead of doing it yourself.
