New Version

Features

Right-To-Left Support

  • This release adds Right-to-Left (RTL) support to the following DevExpress VCL components:
    • Toolbars, Menus, and Ribbon Control

Ribbon and Toolbars

  • Microsoft Office 2019 Style - The DevExpress VCL Ribbon Control now ships with a Ribbon style that replicates the look & feel of the latest Microsoft Office version. This style includes new tab styles and animation effects. Also added IDE templates to make it easy to create Office 2019 Ribbon style applications and Ribbon forms from scratch.
  • Performance Enhancements - The optimized painting mechanism makes the Ribbon/Toolbar UI more responsive - it's two to three times faster than in previous versions.
  • Miscellaneous Enhancements
    • Ribbon Backstage View galleries can now display KeyTips for their elements: groups, items, and item pins.
    • The editor located on the Search Toolbar can optionally display a command's location. It includes the names of the tab, group, and submenu items an end-user has to click to navigate to the command. Also added an option that enables recursive search for commands in submenus.
    • Two new events (OnBeforeMerge and OnAfterMerge) allow you to respond to toolbar merge operations.

Skins Library

  • New SVG Office 2019 Colorful Skin - This release ships with a new vector-based skin and associated color palettes - Office 2019 Colorful.

Layout Control

  • End-users can now collapse/expand splitter items to temporarily hide a part of a layout with a mouse click or drag and drop.
  • Splitter items now provide an event (OnCanResize) that allows you to dynamically control size operations.
