What's New in Studio for WinForms 2011 v2?

New C1QRCode Control Supports 2D Barcodes
BarCode for WinForms includes the new C1QRCode control, which supports 2D barcodes using the popular QR (Quick-Response) encoding.

Additional enhancements range from grouping in Scheduler to multi-colored contextual tabs now in Ribbon.

Scheduler Resource Grouping

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.

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.
