Our v2017.2 WPF, Universal Windows, and Silverlight controls have all been updated with new maintenance releases that are now ready for download. It is highly recommended that you get these new builds since many products received numerous minor enhancements and bug fixes.
Let's take a quick look at some of the more notable features that were added.
Docking/MDI
The mouse wheel can now scroll document tabs when in an overflow situation and using certain tab overflow behaviors.
Editors
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 custom inline UI elements within edit boxes, like the "Now" button in the TimeEditBox below.
Improved the DateEditBox and TimeEditBox default formats to better support parsing of entered text values that lack part delimiters.
Grids
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 to better handle property updates from view-models on other threads.
Improved TreeListBox selection tracking performance.
SyntaxEditor
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.
Improved the .NET Languages Add-on's logic for selecting the best IntelliPrompt parameter info member overload when typing a comma at the end of an argument list.
Improved the XML line commenter in the Web Languages Add-on to comment the entire line text when there is no selection.
Summary
There were also a large number of smaller improvements made throughout the products. See the announcement posts for the detailed list of enhancements and updates:
