Released: Jul 19, 2021

Updates in V4.2

Features

• Added support for Microsoft .NET 5.
• AvalonDock:
  • The LayoutContent.IsFloating property now raises a PropertyChanged event when a LayoutAnchorable/LayoutDocument starts/ends floating. This allows you to add a binding on the IsFloating property.
  • The LayoutItem.CanClose/IsSelected/IsActive/CanTogglePin properties can now be changed dynamically.
  • Moving LayoutDocumentTabItems to reorder them no longer creates a floating window as soon as the mouse leaves the LayoutDocumentTabItem's top and bottom. Instead, a vertical buffer has now been added to create moving smoothness.
• PropertyGrid:
  • Read-only properties using the type converter EnumDisplayNameConverter now display the converted value with the TextBlockEditor.
  • Added a new Password editor which is now available for all properties using a PasswordPropertyText attribute.
• All UpDown controls:
  • Added new properties which are available to set the width/height of the ButtonSpinner.
  • Added new properties which are available to easily modify the content of the Up/Down arrows (for both enabled and disabled state).
• CheckComboBox/CheckListBox:
  • Doing a "Select All" now only raises an ItemSelectionChangedEvent for the unselected items. Similarly, doing a "UnSelect All" now only raises an ItemSelectionChangedEvent for the selected items.
• ChildWindow:
  • The default header background now uses Microsoft Windows' default header background.
• StyleableWindow:
  • Clicking on the header icon now pops the SystemMenu at the left of the window. Clicking again now closes the SystemMenu.
• Themes:
  • Using the DataGrid now loads data faster.
• DataGrid:
  • Unused variables are now removed, resulting in no warnings while compiling.
• UI Automation:
  • The PropertyGridTextBoxEditor now shows the TextBox content in the automation tool.
• ColorPicker:
  • The popup containing many colors now has a scrollbar when the list of colors is too long.
• DateTimePicker:
  • The Culture in the application is now set for the DateTimePicker's Calendar.
• CalculatorUpDown, DateTimePicker and TimePicker:
  • Added new properties which are now available to customize the content of the DropDown button (whether it is enabled or not).

Fixes

• AvalonDock:
  • Floating a LayoutAnchorable no longer shrinks a neighboring LayoutDocument.
  • Floating a LayoutAnchorable contained in a multi-LayoutAnchorableGroup with specific star sizes no longer resets the sizes of the remaining LayoutItems after the floating.
• PropertyGrid:
  • Removing a value from an UpDown editor no longer throws an exception.
  • NullRefException are no longer raised while checking for invalid values of PropertyItems.
• ButtonSpinner:
  • The property ButtonSpinnerLocation is now obsolete; SpinnerLocation should now be used.
  • The property ShowButtonSpinner is now obsolete; ShowSpinner should now be used.
