Updates in 2011 v1

Studio for WinForms 2011 is packed with new features and enhancements. This release includes three new .NET Windows Forms components: C1SuperErrorProvider, included with SuperToolTip, C1MultiDocument, included with Reports, and C1CheckBox, included with Input. Additional enhancements range from grouping in Scheduler to multi-colored contextual tabs now in Ribbon.

Scheduler Resource Grouping
C1Schedule can now group appointments by contacts, resources or categories to create a multi-tabular layout where each tab corresponds to a different item or group. There's no limit to the number of groups because users can page through grouped items with ease. Grouping is supported in all scheduler views including month, week, and day views.

New C1SuperErrorProvider Component
C1SuperErrorProvider, included with SuperToolTip, is similar to the standard ErrorProvider component, except it allows you to display rich error information using HTML. For example, use icons and a red title for the error indicators, and include mixed font styles in the same description making messages clearer to the user.

Ribbon Contextual Tabs
C1Ribbon now supports multi-colored contextual tabs. You may designate some controls on the Ribbon to only be used in conjunction with a specific object or function on the form, such as a picture, chart or table. You can configure contextual tabs to only appear when a relevant object is selected or a specific action performs.

New C1MultiDocument Component
The new C1MultiDocument component, included with Reports, is designed for creating, persisting, and exporting combined and very large C1PrintDocuments. The component supports links between contained documents, a common TOC and word index, as well as continuous page numeration and total page count.

New C1CheckBox Control
The new C1CheckBox control, included with Input, supports data binding to Booleans, Strings, and Integers. It also supports borders and visual styles.

New Microsoft Office 2010 Visual Styles
All FlexGrid, Scheduler, True DBGrid, and InputPanel controls have new Office 2010 visual styles including blue, black and silver themes. Modernize your application to the max with these latest looks from popular Microsoft Office 2010 products.
