  • ButtonControls 1.8.7, LabelControls 1.0.2

    I’ve updated the ButtonControls and LabelControls libraries. These controls have been the last ones with data-binding capabilities.

  • Animation 2.5.2, DateTimeControls 1.3.3, EditControls 1.8.3

    I’ve released new versions of the Animation, DateTimeControls and EditControls libraries. They fix a couple of bugs, one of them being the infamous data-binding bug, which made me remove data-binding features.

  • ProgressBar 2.4.2, StatusBar 1.3.3, TrackBar 1.5.2

    I’ve released updates for the ProgressBar, StatusBar and TrackBar controls. ProgressBar and TrackBar no longer support data-binding. The reasons are the same as for the ComboListBoxControls library which I’ve released three days ago.
    All three releases also fix problems with the ResizedControlWindow event and Windows 8 now is officially supported.

  • ComboListBoxControls 1.2.5

    I’ve released version 1.2.5 of the ComboListBoxControls library. It fixes a problem with the TextChanged event of the ComboBox control.
    More important is the second change: I had to remove all data-binding capabilities. Lately several customers reported that they get an “Object library not registered” error when trying to add the control library to a new project. I could track this down to the data-binding attributes in the COM interface. As the usage of the attributes seemed to be correct and as these problems seem to be new, it’s likely that one of the recent Windows Updates introduced this incompatibility.
    It has not been an easy decision to remove data-binding, but a working control is more important than a feature that surely makes things easier, but can be replaced by alternative implementations.

  • ShellBrowserControls 1.4.2

    I’ve released a new version of the ShellBrowserControls library. It fixes crashes on Windows 8, so an update is recommended.

  • ButtonControls 1.8.6, LabelControls 1.0.1

    I’ve released updates of ButtonControls and LabelControls. They fix drawing problems that the Frame control and the WindowlessLabel control had with right-to-left layouts.

  • ExplorerListView 1.5.2

    I’ve released version 1.5.2 of ExplorerListView. It fixes problems with the drag’n’drop auto-scrolling feature and the ResizedControlWindow event.

  • LabelControls 1.0.0

    I’ve released three new controls. The LabelControls library contains a SysLink control which can be used to display text with embedded clickable hyper links. The links can have a context menu and a tool tip text.
    The second control in this library is the WindowedLabel. It is similar to the Label control of VB6, but has more events. Also, unlike the VB6 control, it creates a window which increases the overhead, but also makes the control more accessible from the world of the Win32-API.
    If you need a lightweight replacement for the VB6 Label control, you should use the WindowlessLabel. As the name suggests, it is a windowless control. Compared to the VB6 control, it gives more control over the appearance of the text and provides more events.
    Of course all events support Unicode.

  • ButtonControls 1.8.5, TabStrip 1.5.2, ToolBarControls 1.1.1

    I’ve released updates to ButtonControls, TabStrip and ToolBarControls, fixing a couple of bugs. Additionally the TabStrip control now officially supports Windows 8.

  • ShellBrowserControls 1.4.1

    Happy new year to everyone!

    I’ve released an update of the ShellBrowserControls library. It has some improvements to auto update, but I think more important is the support for Windows 8. The previous version crashed on Windows 8 if thumbnail mode has been activated.
