A new maintenance release of the WPF Controls is now available.

Detailed Update List

Charts

• Fixed a bug where an exception could occur when an existing PieChart's template is reapplied in a certain scenario.

Docking/MDI

• Added the DockSiteLayoutSerializer.CanSerializeUnusedLazyLoadData property, which can be set to true to re-embed unused lazy load data back into serialized layouts.
• Added the DockSite.CanToolWindowsDragToFloatingDockHostsWithWorkspaces property, which can be set to false to prevent tool windows from being dragged to floating dock hosts that contain workspaces.
• Added several virtual Initialize* methods on DockSite that can be overridden to further initialize a hosting Window prior to display.
• Added the AdvancedTabControl.CanTabsSelectOnDragOver property that can be set to false to prevent auto-selecting tabs when a system (e.g. text, file) drag occurs over them.
• Added DocumentWindow.Attach and Dock methods that allow for programmatic docking to other tabbed document windows or tabbed MDI containers.
• Improved the docking window container logic to not make the UI inactive when controls in other focus scopes like menus/toolbars get focus.
• Improved the logic for tracking the last-focused element within docking windows.
• Improved the logic for tracking HwndHost focus changes with InteropFocusTracking, particularly in nested dock site scenarios.

• Updated the WindowControl template.
• Updated a couple templates to work around issues when using multiple dispatchers.
• Updated menu placement logic.
• Updated non-hosted transient window drag logic for improved pointer tracking.
• Updated the dock guide display logic for certain scenarios.
• Updated the logic for working with layout transforms.
• Updated logic so that when using MVVM and dragging a docking window to a linked dock site, the related item will try to move to the target dock site's items source.
• Updated the logic for tracking where a mouse is when focus moves outside of an open auto-hide popup.
• Fixed a bug where the old version's serialized layout files might not load properly if there were floating windows.
• Fixed a bug where some content might not render correctly after an existing DockSite's template is reapplied.

• Fixed a bug where when using MVVM and dragging a docking window to another linked dock site could cause a layout issue or exception in various scenarios.
• Fixed a bug where deserializing a layout for invisible dock sites could show floating windows.
• Fixed a couple bugs related to tool window layout deserialization.
• Updated the Prism sample's Shell code-behind to show how regions for docking windows in XAML could be exposed to the RegionManager.

Grids (work-in-progress)

• First look at the TreeListBox and TreeListView control that are in alpha testing.

Navigation

• Fixed a bug where the ZoomContentControl's zoom to region feature might not center on the target area properly.
• Fixed a bug where resetting the view might not result in the proper center point if virtual space is disabled.

Ribbon

• Renamed ImageToMonochromeConverter to ImageSourceContentConverter and moved it to the Shared Library, along with adding some new features.

SyntaxEditor

• Reimplemented and improved the line modification mark tracking logic, also added reverted change display capabilities.
• Added the ITextChangeOptions.CanMergeIntoPreviousChange property, which can be set to true to indicate that a programmatically-created text change should be merged into the previous text change on the undo stack.
• Added the ITextChange.IsMerged property that returns if a text change is the result of two or more merged text changes.
• Added the SyntaxEditor.CanBackspaceOverSpacesToTabStop property that can be set to false to only allow backspacing over a single character when ITextDocument.AutoConvertTabsToSpaces is true.
• Added UI automation peers for IntelliPrompt quick info, parameter info, and completion lists.
• Added an overload for the IUndoHistory.Clear method that specifies whether to also reset all change tracking, and added the IUndoHistory.Cleared event.
• Updated the PasteDragDrop event to be raised for drag over events so that the drag effects can be manually altered. Normally events for PasteDragDropAction.DragOver can be ignored.
• Updated the ITextChange.CustomData property to be settable.
• Updated line number display to adjust appropriately when the first characters in a line are completely collapsed without an intra-text adornment in their place.
• Updated text drags to not scroll past the document end when the CanScrollPastDocumentEnd option is enabled.

.NET Languages Add-on

• Fixed a bug where the resolver was working on the name of named attribute arguments.
• Fixed a bug where documentation comments within a region directive block could prevent the region from being code outlined properly.

Web Languages Add-on

• Added a text formatter for the JSON language that beautifies the data.

Themes

• Fixed a bug with WindowChrome where maximized windows with WindowStyle=None didn't properly fill the screen.

Views

• Fixed a bug in animated panels where an element being re-added to the panel might not properly transition in.

Shared

• Added the DynamicImage control, which is a drop-in replacement for Image that will auto-grayscale the image content when the control is disabled.
• Updated ImageConverter to return a DynamicImage instance instead of Image.
• Updated ImageSourceContentConverter to work on vector GeometryDrawings too.
• Added the attached ImageSourceContentConverter.CanConvertToMonochrome property, which can be set on portions of a DrawingImage that shouldn't be converted to monochrome, such as areas that display a selected color.

• Updated ConditionalConverter to return TrueValue for non-empty string values.
• Fixed a bug where a PopupButton with IsTransparencyModeEnabled set to true would show borders when disabled.

All

• Updated image display in many products to use the new DynamicImage control so that disabled controls get grayscale image effects. If you encounter a 'Could not find a part of the path' to bitmap image source error, specify the absolute path to the image source using pack syntax as described in the DynamicImage documentation.
