Adds support for Visual Studio 2019, plus new features for chart, dialog, grid and report components.
Features
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 support:
- The source files are fully compliant with Visual 2019 C++ compiler.
- All examples and samples were thoroughly tested with VS 2019.
- Evaluation version contains DLLs and libraries required for VS 2019.
- Dialogs and Forms
- A new class CBCGPScrollDialog implements a dialog box with scrolling support.
- CBCGPFormView: added automatic scrolling when a newly focused control exceeds form's bounds.
- CBCGPPropertySheet: added custom (owner-draw) notification badges support.
- Chart Control
- Implemented drawing of partially visible data points for a fixed interval width. New methods EnableAllUnitsOnFixedInterval and IsAllUnitsOnFixedInterval were added to CBCGPChartAxis class.
- A new method ValueFromPoint was added to CBCGPChartTernaryAxis class.
- CBCGPChartSurfaceSeries::ColorMode enumerator has a new member: CM_SERIES: when this mode is specified, each series is drawn in one color, which is defined by the currently selected theme or by user.
- Grid and Report Controls
- CBCGPGridItem: added hot-tracking support. Override a new 'IsHotTrackEnabled' method in your CBCGPGridItem-derived class and return TRUE to enable grid cell mouse tracking.
- CBCGPGridCheckItem: added grid control modes ("Check box" or "Switch"). New methods SetMode and GetMode were added to this class.
- Implemented a special row marker for the Grid cell editing mode: when row is selected and one of the cells is being edited, a special marker (pencil) is displayed on the left side. New method CBCGPGridCtrl::SetRowHeaderEditImage allows to specify this symbol. In addition, you may draw your own marker by overriding new method CBCGPGridCtrl::OnDrawRowHeaderEditImage.
- Controls
- CBCGPDateTimeCtrl: added WM_GETTEXT message processing. A result of this message is formatted date and time value of this control.
- A new class CBCGPIPAddressCtrl implements themed IP Address control.
- CBCGPListBox: new method MoveItem allows to change an existing list box item position (index).
- New class CBCGPDragListBox implements a list box that allows users to move items within the control. Generally, this control is very similar to MFC CDragListBox, but it has visual themes support and other CBCGPListBox features such as pinned items support, color bars and others.
- CBCGPSliderCtrl: introduced a new "progress" mode. In this mode, the channel area left of the slider's thumb is filled with some (default or user-defined) color.
- CBCGPGroup: implemented group caption check box / radio button. When user "unchecks" the group, all controls located within the group bounds will be automatically disabled. SetCheckRadioStyle, GetCheckRadioStyle, SetCheck and GetCheck methods were added to CBCGPGroup class.
- Miscellaneous
- CBCGPCalendar::IsDateMarked method is virtual now: override it if you wish to mark specific calendar's date without calling MarkDates method.
- New virtual method CBCGPCalendar::OnClickTodayButton is called when user clicks "Today" button on the calendar.
- CBCGPEditCtrl: added visual theme-dependable bookmarks.
