Version 4.0 - January 26, 2011

Release Notes

Version 4.0 is a major release with a new Navigation Bar control and a number of improvements.

What's New

• Added a Navigation Bar multi-purpose control (see screenshot) that allows you to combine similar items in vertically stacked groups so that the user can easily navigate through and access these items. The control supports three different views: Normal, Accordion and Outlook (see screenshot). If none of the standard appearances fits your taste, you can customize its look (see screenshot).
• Added a Navigation Bar sample to illustrate the features of the Navigation Bar control.
• Added support for shortcut keys in controls inside ribbons and pop-up menus.
• Optimized memory management for better garbage collection.
• Now you can customize the content of your screen tips. For example, you can play video in your screen tips (see screenshot).
• Added support for background images in all controls.

Bug Fixes

• When resizing the window, ribbon groups got collapsed too early.
• Design time bugs in the drop-down, split button and color picker.
• Other minor improvements.
• Scrollbar painting issue in the multiline textbox.
