Xailer 2.1

Dear Xailer users,

Finally today we have published Xailer 2.1 with a lot of new features. You may find a list of all of them on this link.

One of the most important novelties is that version 2.1 requires a a new registration because there is a change on the activation key. In fact from version 2.1, every time we publish a new Xailer version, a register of the product must be done. This register process can only be done on active machines with active subscriptions.

You can check until which version of Xailer you can upgrade from the IDE menu option Help->Registry information.

To simplify the process for all those people that can not reach our registry web system, we will send by Email the new registry values for all the active machines on active subscriptions. We have also improved our Email send system by using Gmail services under SSL protocol, so we expect our Emails will not be rejected by any SMTP server. However we recommend to include the noreplay@xailer.com account as a secure address on Email client software.

Do not try to upgrade to this new version until you are completely sure you are allowed to do it.

Best regards,

[Xailer team]

Treeivew with custom colors

Several times we have been asked in the forums if there was any way to customize the individual items off a Treeview control.

treeviewcolor.png

The only difference of this component with the native Xailer Treeview is that it doesn’t have visual editor for aItems property and must be filled at design time with the context menu or at runtime with one of the following methods:

METHOD AddItem( cItem, xImage, xSelImage, lBold, lChecked, lParam, nClrText, nClrPane ) // --> oItem
METHOD InsertItem( cItem, xImage, xSelImage, lBold, lChecked, lParam, nClrText, nClrPane, nPos ) // --> oItem

As you can see, these methods add two new parameters to set the text and background color of each item and are fully compatible with standard Treeview, allowing the use of images, checkboxes, etc..

The attached ZIP treeviewcolor.zip includes the DLL for the IDE and the library to link to applications.

New Xailer 2 Beta upgrade

Dear Xailer users,

A new version of Xailer 2 Beta is available with important new features that we hope you will enjoy. Despite, this new version includes a complete redesign of the ‘Data controls’ that we expect will not break your actual applications. Is our intention to fix every problem that may arise to make this new design completely compatible with the previous one, so the upgrade to this new version can be done without trouble. But those of you that decide to use this new version must be aware of this possible problem. BTW, we highly appreciate and give thanks in advance to all the users that are willing to test it.
