Posted 6 years ago by Actipro Software Support - Cleveland, OH, USA

A new maintenance release of the Universal Windows Controls is now available.

Added AdvancedTabControl tab panel support for the mouse wheel to scroll tabs when using certain tab overflow behaviors.
Improved selection logic when docking multiple windows at the same time.
Improved AdvancedTabControl's panel to allow for customization of the tab layout.
Updated floating dock hosts to show an external title bar when there is a single tool window container and tool windows don't have their own title bars.
Updated docking window tab animation to not occur when deserializing a layout.
Improved focus handling on layout changes.
Fixed a bug where setting the TabbedMdiHost.TabControlStyle property wouldn't immediately update the tab highlight brushes.

Updated the color pickers such that the end user can tap and drag anywhere in a hue ring or saturation/brightness square to change color attributes, and not just on the thumb.
Added a new drop-down to ColorPicker that allows switching between RGB and HSB text input modes.
Added new features for adding inline UI elements within edit boxes.
Updated the TimeEditBox QuickStart to show off an inline button for setting the current time.
Improved the DateEditBox and TimeEditBox default formats to better support parsing of entered text values that lack part delimiters.
Improved EditBoxPicker input handling for a more ComboBox-like experience.
Updated DateTimeEditBox and TimeEditBox to better handle millisecond entry.
Improved TimeSpanEditBox's text entry support for custom formats.
Updated TimeSpanPicker to only allow editing of parts that appear in the TimeSpanEditBox's format.
Added the DateTimeEditBox.SetValueToNowCommand property, that resets the Value to DateTime.Now when executed.
Adjusted how AutoCompleteBox handles refocusing after a submit occurs.

Added the TreeListViewColumn.SortDirection property and related ColumnSortDirection enumeration that can be used to indicate that a sort glyph should appear in the column header when paired with a custom sorting mechanism.
Improved TreeListBox selection tracking performance.
Updated TreeListBox to properly check CanDragItems prior to starting any sort of drag.
Updated the templates for default property value editors.
Fixed a bug where pressing Tab to navigate focus through the PropertyGrid wouldn't scroll to newly-focused items off-screen.
Fixed a PropertyGrid bug where some read-only properties might not show as read-only in UI.

Improved numerous edit actions to retain their final selection after the action goes through an undo/redo process.
Improved how Tab indenting is handled when there is a block selection.
Improved the Cut Line to Clipboard edit action to support multiple lines.
Updated the hit-testing mechanism to return a new result type for intra-line spacers, which prevents mouse hovers over them from triggering IntelliPrompt quick info.
Updated the Caret property to implement INotifyPropertyChanged and raise the event when the selection changes, thereby allowing UI to bind right to properties such as Position.
Updated the IntelliPrompt popups to not switch to partial opacity if both Ctrl and Alt are held down.
Updated ScrollBar style to be consistent across platform versions.
Updated certain edit actions that retain selection to not force the selection range to be normalized.
Fixed a bug where vertical scrolling was possible in a certain scenario when in single line mode.
Fixed a bug where certain text formatting calls over very small ranges could lead to an exception in TextSnapshotReader.

Improved logic for selecting the best IntelliPrompt parameter info member overload when typing a comma at the end of an argument list.
Updated how the resolver handles base type resolution to prevent a possible exception.

Improved the XML line commenter to comment the entire line text when there is no selection.
