Updates in this release

Updates in V2.8

• MaterialListBox, MaterialComboBox and MaterialTabControl
  • MaterialControls style is now applied when using ItemsSource.
• ListBox
  • Grouping a ListBox with an enum type property and selecting an item will now add the selected items in the SelectedItems collection.
  • Filtering a ListBox with a predicate defined through the ListBox.Filter event will now be considered in the SelectedItems.
  • A filtered listbox using grouping will now return the correct SelectedItems by applying the Filter.
• TokenizedTextBox
  • The TokenizedTextBox's popup will now always be displayed on the same monitor as the TokenizedTextBox.
  • If the control is placed in a popup, it will now display the tokens correctly.

• AvalonDock
  • When DockingManager.DocumentsSource changes, the private variable _suspendLayoutItemCreation will now be correctly set during the adding phase.
  • Removing a LayoutAnchorable will now null its Content before removing it from his Parent. This prevents memory leaks.
  • The focus of the active content is now set right away. This prevents the focus issues with comboBoxes in WinForms.
  • Clicking the middle mouse button on LayoutDocumentItem header or LayoutAnchorableItem header will no longer throw a Null reference exception.
  • Pinning an AutoHideWindow, located in LayoutRoot.XXXSide, now has a correct width. User won't have to extend the ColumnSplitter to see the content. The Width used is the LayoutAnchorable.AutoHideMinWidth.

  • The new property LayoutDocumentPane.ShowHeader is now available to Show/Hide the TabHeader.

  • Setting the Focus via the Focus() method won't need a "Tab" to actually focus the DropDownButton.
• PropertyGrid
  • The property AdvancedOptionsMenu is now set in the PropertyGrid's default style, preventing restricted access to propertyGrid in multithreading.
  • CollectionEditor now takes into account the NewItemTypes attribute.
  • The DescriptorPropertyDefinition is no longer ignoring the ConverterCulture in its Binding. This results in correct conversion for text numeric values in PropertyGrid's EditorTemplateDefinition
• MaskTextBox

  • Changing the CheckComboBox's Foreground now changes the Foreground Color of the ToggleButton it contains.
  • The control no longer loses its selection while being virtualized.
• DateTimePicker, DateTimeUpDown
  • Years of 2 or 4 digits are now handled. Also, entering a wrong format date will now default to current date, not to 1/1/0001.
