Released: Feb 26, 2024

Updates in 24.1.1

Features

• Updated and added UIA peers for numerous controls to better support accessibility updates in .NET 8.
• API documentation is now based on assemblies that target Microsoft .NET 6 (previously .NET Framework).
• The Sample Browser application included with the installer will now multi-target .NET Framework 4.6.2 and .NET 6.
• Removed official support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 although users should still be able to continue using the IDE for their own applications. Sample Browser requires Visual Studio 2019 or newer.
• Removed XBAP support.
• Added the MiniToolBar control that can be displayed alongside a context menu, and a new sample to demonstrate the control.
• Ribbon group has been split out into two and three-row layout functionality into a separate new RibbonMultiRowControlGroup control to allow multi-row layouts next to other controls in the same ribbon group.
• Removed the RibbonGroup.CanUseMultiRowLayout and ThreeRowItemSortOrder properties, and the same for the MVVM library's RibbonGroupViewModel class.
• Refactored how the BarPopupButton, BarSplitButton, BarMenuItem, and BarSplitMenuItem controls use the can-execute results of their commands to determine enabled states.
• Updated the RecentDocumentControl template to support customizing some ScrollViewer properties.
• Updated BarPopupButtonBase.GetContainerForItemOverride logic to generate a BarMenuItem container control instead of MenuItem as a final fallback option.
• The Ribbon product has been deprecated in favor of the newer Bars product.
