Actipro WPF Essentials 2017.2

Docking/MDI

• Added the DockingWindow.IsFloating property, which supports data-binding and indicates if the docking window is open in a floating DockHost.
• Updated the DockSite.WindowDefaultLocationRequested event with a new ShouldFloat property on the event arguments.
• Refactored logic that leaves breadcrumbs and added float ability to restore to floating breadcrumbs.
• Updated maximized standard MDI windows to remove flicker when a new primary document is set.
• Updated the tool window container template to better support top-aligned tabs.

Editors

• Added the AutoCompleteBox control that allows text entry and provides suggestions for auto-completion. This kind of control is ideal for use in search query and quick launch kinds of scenarios.
• Added a new QuickStart to showcase the AutoCompleteBox control.
• Updated date selection in a DateEditBox's popup calendar to close the popup.
• Updated EnumEditBox used in PropertyGrid to automatically pass the enumeration type in, which is useful when multiple data objects of the same type are being edited.
• Added the CanReuseBrush property to BrushEditBox, BrushPicker, and GradientStopSlider, which can be set to false to create a new brush instance on any update. This is needed when binding to values using value converters.

Ribbon

• Improved RibbonWindow title area display for certain themes in high DPI.
