(you cannot use the new library without recompiling your source code)

Version 2.8.18
Jul 03, 2009 |
Changed Ctl_StrToHex and Ctl_HexToStr functions;
unfortunately a VB6 menu caption can contain a maximum of 236/242 chars. Using the Hexadecimal encoding as it was, the string length became 4 times larger so it was very simple to pass the 236 chars. The actual implementation of these functions will use the Base64 encoding so it should be shorter than before (so you can use menu captions longer than before). |
Version 2.8.3
Jun 12, 2009 |
- Fix: the ctlUniTabbedXP control didn't use the ForeColSel and ForeColorTab colors |
Version 2.8.2
Apr 24, 2009 |
- Added the RequestResize event to the ctlUniRichTextBoxXP control |
Version 2.8.1
Apr 21, 2009 |
- Added the clsTrayArea class for Unicode Tray Area management |
Version 2.8
Apr 20, 2009 |
- Added DataBind properties to labels controls
- Added the CustomFontFace property to the ctlUTF8Menu
- Added Multiselection to the ctlUniGrid control
- Added the StringMode property on the UTF8Menu (the UTF8 encoding cannot be used as a string container for menu controls in many systems because it can contain the full set of ANSI chars (0..255, supported only in full ANSI systems like US, GB, IT, etc...); for example in Chinese/Vietnamese systems, some chars were lost and the menu don't work correctly. Now it is possible to use a special encoding for the menu. You can translate strings from UTF16 to Hexadecimal values using the HexToStr or StrToHex functions. The menu can be set to Hex mode as it is able to check Hexadecimal strings and translate them if needed.
- Added a function called "CanUseAnsiForString" that will check if the ANSI encoding can be used in order to save strings to file (it checks the system locale + the unicode string)
- Added the "Value" property for the ctlUniButtonImageXP control; by setting button.Value=True the button_Click event will be invoked
- Removed the BackStyle property from the standard ctlUniLabel control as it causes problems. If you need a transparent label use the ctlUniLabelNoFlick control (the Project converter will upgrade your sources automatically)
- Added the new ApplyFontChanges function to every control so when you want to apply changes made to the "Font" object in the control just call this function.
- Fix: the UniFormCaption control lacks in some cases when testing for a Unicode string; systems like Chinese/Vietnamese use strings recognized to be non Unicode (because they haven't extended chars) but these strings contains Unicode characters.
- Fix: bad behavior when using the IME mode into the ctlUniRichTextBoxXP control (incompleted IME phrases were inserted into the control and when clicking out of the IME composition window the text resulted duplicated; in Vista systems)
- Fix: in some circumstances the ctlUniRichTextBoxXP hangs up when reading/writing contents
- Fix: column resizing in ctlUniGrid control when using fixed size columns
- Fix: checkbox and radio now block the click event when using the right mouse button, like the VB6 ones
- Fix: the ucTreeview hangs up in some systems when setting fonts
- Fix: some Windows messages interfered with the "Validate" event of API controls (texts, combos, listboxes, etc...); in these controls the Validate event never occured; fixed.
- Fix: in design mode the ctlUniTextBoxXP control and the ctlUniRichTextBoxXP control displays a wrong text when the "&" char is into the Text property
- Fix: bug in the clsFileIni class when converting an ANSI file to an Unicode one
- Fix: the GetFormCaptionW function returned a wrong Unicode Caption (some chars were added to the end of the returned string)
ATTENTION:
the UTF8Menu control has changed, instead of the UTF8 encoding you should use the Hex encoding for menu items or your program may not be compatible with all locales. Check this page.
