A few changes, a few bug fixes and a few enhancements announced with the release of Kixforms 2.0.5 (Build 33). Available for download at
The KiXforms Website
Heres the summary for this release:
code:
2.0.5 Build 33
- Improved task switching behavior. Form now restores
keyboard focus back to previous control when task
switching between forms and other windows applications.
Next step - enable same feature when switching
within forms itself.
- Fixed some behaviors of the HyperLink object.
- Can now retrieve the Value (URL) property.
- Corrected constructor to properly display Caption.
- ToolTips are now DISABLED by default. The following
example sets the ToolTip to be the same as the VALUE
(URL) property text:
$HyperLink.ToolTip = $HyperLink.Value
- Added FontTransparent property to Form object. By default,
FontTransparent is set to TRUE. To print text on a form
and have graphics underneath totally erased, set
FontTransparent to FALSE.
* Note when using proportional font "spaces" to overwrite text
on a form. The space character in a proportional-font can
is very narrow (thin), and may require many more of them to
fully overwrite the entire text area.
- Added the OnActivate and OnDeactivate events to FORM
object. Occurs when a form is activated or deactivated
by the user (task switching), or through code (popups).
The very first (initial) OnActivate event for the main
form object cannot be captured in the current release.
- Added enhanced auto-refresh for Left,Top,Width,Height
properties.
- Added OnKeyDown event. Occurs when a user presses
a key while the object has the focus.
- Added KeyCode property. Gets the key code associated
with the key that caused the OnKeyDown Event.
- Fixed Sorted and List property memory leak.
- Fixed automatic vertical and horizontal scroll bars
for ListBox and ComboBox object.
Will be posting to this space with comments and sample scripts demontrating some of the new behaviors. As always, please feel free to post any and all questions, comments and ideas into this space.
