TreeList & Vertical Grid now provide a Filter Box for customizing criteria, plus RTL support in Pivot & Vertical Grids.
Features
Right-To-Left Support
- This release adds Right-to-Left (RTL) support to the following DevExpress VCL components:
- Pivot Grid Control
- Vertical Grid Control
Filtering UI
- Excel-inspired Filtering - v19.1 introduces new Microsoft Excel-inspired column/row filter dropdowns for the Grid, TreeList, and Vertical Grid controls. New filter dropdowns provide two tabs:
- The first tab allows users to select from among all available cell values.
- The second tab allows users to create a filter expression using filter operators (Equals, Between, Contains, etc.)
- Use the dxDefaultFilterPopupWindowMode global constant in the source code to make the new filtering UI active for all Grid, TreeList, and Vertical Grid controls.
- Filter Box Support - Much like the VCL Grid Control, the TreeList and Vertical Grid controls now provide the Filter Box to allow end-users to customize, temporarily disable, and reapply recently used filter criteria.
Skins Library
- New SVG Microsoft Office 2019 Colorful Skin - This release ships with a new vector-based skin and associated color palettes - Office 2019 Colorful.
Spreadsheet
- API Enhancements
- Evaluate any formula expressions, not only those stored in a document (the EvaluateExpression function).
- Pass cell ranges in the A1 reference style as string parameters to any cell management method.
- Track visibility changes of cell comments and prevent their display (the OnCommentShow and OnCommentHide events).
- Quickly reset a cell, row, or column to its default style (the IsDefault property).
- Read/write the rich text formatted content directly from/to a cell (the GetAsRTF and SetAsRTF functions).
Pivot Grid
- A new field option automatically expands group values and keeps them expanded (the AlwaysExpanded property).
- You can now apply the Min and Max summary functions to date-time or string data fields.
- A new event (OnGetCellHint) allows you to customize hints displayed for data cells, field values, and field headers, or suppress them.
- The HitTest property now provides a flag to identify total cells (the HitAtTotalCell property).
Layout Control
- End-users can now collapse/expand splitter items to temporarily hide a part of a layout with a mouse click or drag and drop.
- Splitter items now provide an event (OnCanResize) that allows you to dynamically control size operations.
