Features

Editors

  • Added the AutoCompleteBox.SelectAll method.

  • Updated TreeListBoxItem to become the primary selection when in single selection mode it receives focus.
  • Added the TreeListBox.IsRootItemVisibleChanged event.
  • Added a TreeListBoxItemMenuEventArgs.IsBackground property that indicates if a right-click was past the last column in a TreeListView.
  • Updated right-clicks on selected TreeListBox items when in Multiple selection mode to not deselect.
  • Improved how TreeListBox items load children to support a lazy-loading scenario.
  • Improved TreeListBox in multi-selection mode to update TreeListBoxItem selection state when items are added that are pre-selected via an item adapter.
  • Updated TreeListBox to focus itself if an item currently has focus and its items source is changing.

Ribbon

  • Added the IParameterInfoSession.HasSelectionChanged property.

Fixes

Docking/MDI

  • Fixed a bug where lazy-loaded tool windows could appear out of a previously-serialized order.
  • Fixed a bug in the Metro theme where a floating dock host with two side-by-side tool windows could show a flicker when getting focused.
  • Fixed a bug where a reopened docking window might not select the most recent breadcrumb location for a target state.
  • Updated some automation peer logic.

Editors

  • Fixed a bug in DateEditBox, DateTimeEditBox, and TimeEditBox where setting a Minimum/Maximum could cause an empty edit box value to be filled in.
  • Fixed a bug where focusing an AutoCompleteBox control didn't forward focus into the TextBox in its template.

Grids

  • Fixed a bug where TreeListBox with a ChildrenQueryModeDefault of OnExpansion wasn't calling the TreeListBoxItemAdapter.CanHaveChildren method properly.
  • Fixed a bug where merged properties didn't use a custom property editor specified with EditorAttribute.
  • Fixed a bug where a stack overflow could occur in TreeListBox when working with extremely deep trees.
  • Fixed a bug where dragging and dropping a TreeListBox item when filtering is active could show the dropped item in the wrong location.
  • Fixed a bug where changing a TreeListView column width to a star-sized column might not allow it to resize.
  • Fixed a bug where TreeListView column headers weren't marking clicks as handled.
  • Fixed a bug where using up/down arrow keys might not work properly in scenarios like the PropertyGrid Dynamic Properties QuickStart.
  • Fixed a bug where double-clicking a TreeListView column header resize gripper to auto-resize could raise the ColumnTapped event for the next column.
  • Fixed a bug where removing a TreeListBox item didn't properly mark that tree node as hidden.
  • Fixed a bug where adding an item to a list in a PropertyGrid with filtering active might not show the filtered items.
  • Fixed a bug where a selection change might not always scroll the newly-selected item into view properly.

SyntaxEditor

  • Fixed a bug introduced in a previous build where IntelliPrompt quick info and parameter info sessions couldn't open for read-only text ranges.

.NET Languages Add-on

  • Fixed a bug where hovering over a variable declarator name could show IntelliPrompt quick info for a resolved target with the same name.

Themes

  • Fixed a bug where a chromed window couldn't resize across multiple monitors appropriately if the Windows taskbar was auto-hidden.
