Updates in V2.91

• Added a CExtRichContentScrollWnd class, which implements a simple and fast scrollable HTML viewer control.
• Added a CExtRichGenWnd class, which implements an HTML generator control. It uses a tree data structure describing a logical structure of UI elements to generate an HTML document that displays the described UI. This control is similar to a web server and a web browser together in one box.
• Added a CExtRibbonBackstageViewWnd class (see screenshot), which implements a backstage view control based on CExtRichGenWnd. The control generates and -- displays an HTML based backstage view similar to that in Microsoft Office 2010 applications.
• Added a CExtRibbonBar::m_pBackstageViewWnd property and a set of new CExtRibbonBar::BackstageView_***() methods to use the backstage view control with the ribbon bar.
• HTML Everywhere now supports:
• float:left and float:right
• display:inline-block
• align parameter of the IMG tag
• overflow:scroll
• CSS pseudo classes
• HTML output generated from the Microsoft Word
• Added a CExtRibbonBar::m_bFileTabButtonDisplaysText property to display text on the ribbon file button (you can still display an icon instead).
• Added an automatic best-fit feature for rows and columns in the CExtGridWnd control.
• Added a __EGCS_EX_AUTO_BEST_FIT extended grid cell style, __EGBS_BSE_EX_AUTO_BEST_FIT_COLUMNS and __EGBS_BSE_EX_AUTO_BEST_FIT_ROWS grid control styles, a set of new CExtGridWnd::OnGridQueryAutoBest***() and CExtGridWnd::OnGridDoAutoBestFit***() virtual methods.

• Added a CExtListCtrl::m_bSelectAllOnCtrlA flag property to select all list view items on the Ctrl+A key combination.
