May 24, 2016 /  Prof-UIS 3.3.0.0
Announcing the Release of Prof-UIS MFC Library Version 3.3.0.0!

Version 3.3.0.0 has been released. This version contains further updates to the scaling algorithms.

In release 3.3.0.0 of the ProfUIS MFC Library the menus, toolbars, tabs, groups, captions, fonts ... and so on are automatically adjusted (scaled) to the current DPI resolution (up to 200 percent). Plus it contains a function to allow user’s code to automatically scale resources. This is particularly important in Ribbon applications. All of the Sample files have been updated to scale up to 200 percent.

The library facilities and changes and how to use them are contained in our Tech Bulletin 3.3.0.0.
The Tech Bulletin is available at http://prof-uis.com/newsletters/important_changes_100-200dpi.html.

The Samples contain Dialog, SDI, and MDI Ribbon implementations. There are 50 Group Panels in the Samples. 

Now is the time to add DPI Aware Scaling and Ribbons to your product. If you need help with this let us know.

We are working on the Ribbons and realized that we would like additional resources. So we added Ribbon Group Panels and Dialog Boxes to our resource categories.

Sep 27, 2015 /  Prof-UIS 3.2.0.5
Now is the time to update to the Prof-UIS MFC C++ revision 3.2.0.5 library. It has been tested by many of our users and most of the kinks have been worked out. Your App will look great with one of the new Prof-UIS Themes. The Themes are really sharp, crisp, bright and cheery. Send us an email with your product in one of our new Themes. We would love to see it.

Now that Microsoft has included the MBCS in Visual Studio 2015 its time to update with Prof-UIS 3.2.0.5, Windows 10, and Visual Studio 2015. Download your copy now!

We have started a blog, called TechBlog at http://techblog.proflibs.com. This is a blog for all of our coding products.

Release 3.2.0.5 updates and improvements are:

  • The 200 percent Scaling option was tested and activated.
  • There were a number of problems reported that are resolved by resetting the registry. These problems occur when the Prof-UIS library revision or when the App scaling changes.  In our ProfBlog we show an example of the code to resolve this problem. All of the Samples now contain this code.
  • Another ProfBlog entry provides the suggested coding change to activate automatic menu scaling.
  • We will be providing coding updates and examples of coding practices in the TechBlog.
  • We have readjusted the Tab colors for Office 13 and Windows 8 Themes for more contrast.
  • We have updated older projects; Visual Studio 2005, 2008.
  • We have made several minor code improvements.

The updates at this stage are evenly split between library changes and information on how best to use the library.

You can find the entire list of changes on the Version History page.

Prof-UIS Website Updated

The www.Prof-UIS.com website has been updated to handle double opt-in email subscriptions. The subscriber logic has been re-coded. This will allows us to communicate more effectively with you. It will provide you with the information you need and not bother you with information you don't want.

Improved Prof-UIS Support Times, 2 days Average

The Prof-UIS support team is proud to announce that support response times are down to 2 days. However some time is lost in gathering sufficient information to solve the problems.
When turning in a support item remember to include:
* What version of the Library your are using
* The character type you are using.
* The mode, DLL or Library.
* The Operating System: Windows 7 ,8 etc.
* The Visual Studio Version Used.
* A description of the problem
* Screen shots if approprate.
Even with this information it maybe necessary to provide a demo project that illustrates the problem. Make the Demo using the Sample Projects if possible.

Licensing Update

We will be dropping the 90 day maintenance offering due to the expected rate of change to the libraries during 2015. The libraries will remain backward compatible, but they will be expanded to meet the changing market conditions.

If you are a 90 day library support customer you should buy now, as this offer will go away December 1, 2014 or, with special permission Dec 31st for budgeting or corporate process considerations.
