UX Enhancements

• Smooth Scrolling - This release adds smooth scrolling support to the following DevExpress VCL components:
  • Grid Control.

• Content Padding Options - With this release, the VCL Grid and TreeList, controls introduce a quick way to pad their in-place editors and/or headers and adjust the spacing between certain UI elements.
