Important Information

The following is a list of changes made since the previous version. Please see the help file for complete descriptions and examples.

Version 1.02

Keyboard changes have been modified as shown in the table below, changes are bolded.
 

- Control now supports the use of the ImageList control inside Internet Explorer
- Two new properties, ImagesURL and PictureBackgroundURL have been added to support asynchronous downloading of images. See the help file for more information.

 

Special note for Visual C++ Programmers:

There is a known issue with the way the Visual Studio 6 Class Wizard generates function declarations for functions which contain parameters that are pointers to enumerated constants. If the parameter's data type is VT_PI2 (pointer to a short integer), the Class Wizard erroneously declares the type as VT_PI4 (pointer to an long integer). The following modifications must be made to work around this problem:

1. Change the parameter's data type in the class constructor's "Generated message map functions" section. For example:

afx_msg void OnValidateSelectionSstree1(long FAR* SelectionType, LPDISPATCH FAR* StartNode, LPDISPATCH FAR* EndNode, LPDISPATCH FAR* Cancel);

should be changed to:

afx_msg void OnValidateSelectionSstree1(short FAR* SelectionType, LPDISPATCH FAR* StartNode, LPDISPATCH FAR* EndNode, LPDISPATCH FAR* Cancel);


2. Change the parameter's data type in the implementation file's "BEGIN_EVENTSINK_MAP" section. For example:

ON_EVENT(CAddItemDlg, IDC_SSTREE1, 1212 /*ValidateSelection*/,
OnValidateSelectionSstree1, VTS_PI4 VTS_PDISPATCH VTS_PDISPATCH VTS_PDISPATCH)

should be changed to:

ON_EVENT(CAddItemDlg, IDC_SSTREE1, 1212 /*ValidateSelection*/,
OnValidateSelectionSstree1, VTS_PI2 VTS_PDISPATCH VTS_PDISPATCH VTS_PDISPATCH)

3. Change the parameter's data type in the actual implementation of the function: For example:

void CAddItemDlg::OnValidateSelectionSstree1(long FAR* SelectionType, LPDISPATCH FAR* StartNode, LPDISPATCH FAR* EndNode, LPDISPATCH FAR* Cancel)

should be changed to:

void CAddItemDlg::OnValidateSelectionSstree1(short FAR* SelectionType, LPDISPATCH FAR* StartNode, LPDISPATCH FAR* EndNode, LPDISPATCH FAR* Cancel)

 

Known Limitations

- There is a limitation in IE of data, which 4.0 SP1 of 4K for binary data stored on a page. Due to this limit you can't load the ActiveTreeView control if there is more than 4K typically will occur if you are saving images to the pagePictureBackgroundURL properties to download . To avoid this limitation you should use the new ImagesURL and images from a URL.

- There appears to be no way to support 16 x 16 icons through the prop pages using the standard picture object. If you take a standard VB form picture property and attempt to load a 16x16 ico file it will also be stretched to 32 x 32. The work around is to load a 16x16 bmp file into the prop page image list THEN load up 16x16 ico files.

- You may also experience problems if you change the default font at design time. The solution to this problem is to set any font properties at runtime using VB Script.

In order to handle images on XP systems two new properties for the DataExplorer have been developed to handle ImageList object references rather than HImageList Handles -PVExplorer.TreeViews.TabImages and PVEXplorer.Tabs.TabImages. There is one new property for the OutlookBar for the same reason -Tabs.TabImages.
Also note the following:
DataExplorer 8.0.4.6 you need to set the ImageList to the DataExplorer after if you are adding the images dynamically.

DEX57 - The entire OutlookBar shifts up when you click on a cell of the UltraGrid and covers some parts of the UltraToolBars
DEX49 - BeginCopy does not fire when you call the Copy method
DEX47 - BeginCut and BeginCopy events do not fire when using the .TreeView.Cut and .TreeView.Copy methods
DEX45 - Icons do not show up if image lists are used
DEX40 - Icons in Outlook Bar and data explorer show not up
DEX39 - Outlook Bar button graphics not appearing in XP
DEX37 - Resizer dep needs to be updated
DEX35 - Context sensitive help is not available for any dataExplorer control
DEX34 - Strange key behavior in Window Object
DEX15 - Bad repainting of control on MDI Child form
DEX13 - Buttons of UltraToolBars does not respond to click events when in the right hand pane of the OutLook Bar
 

Note: This installation is current and equivalent with the latest service pack, (SP2) for version 8 of this product.

What is New in Data Explorer 8.0
* The primary new functionality of Data Explorer is the ability to display multiple TreeViews as Tabs in the left hand pane and to also display tabs in the results pane to configure different looks.
* In addition there is now support for colors for the TreeView and ListView, images on the background of the ListView and bold text for items in the ListView.
* Ability to display multiple TreeViews as Tabs in the left hand pane. Each TreeView can be independently configured and data bound.
* Tabs can be displayed in the right hand results pane to configure different looks on a node by nod basis.
* Support for background and foreground colors for the TreeView and ListView.
* Images on the background of the ListView.
* New BeforeDisplayResultsPane event for centralizing the dynamic configuration of Nodes and Tabs.
* Bold text for items in the ListView.
* Context-Sensitive Help.
*Added right mouse button click behavior for ListView so that right button
selects the ListItem.

DayView
- The AppointmentDialogStrings method didn't have a way to set the "All Day Event", file types in the browse dialog, or the confirm save/delete message boxes.
- DayView wasn't taking the control panel settings correctly for displaying 24-hour time.
- Fixed problem with the TopIndex property not working.

UltraGrid

The ArrayProvider sample uses a component called the OLEDBSimpleProviderListener. You can find help for this component via MSDN at the following address: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/dasdk/osp231mh.htm

Release Notes
Notice to Microsoft Visual C++ Users: You will need to update your ATLCOM.H in order to successfully use the UltraGrid in your ATL project. See details below.

AlphaBlending performance varies from system to system. We have noticed that AlphaBlending performance may increase dramatically when you reduce the level of hardware acceleration for your video card. See details below.

This control does not work in Visual Basic 5.0. This control requires an OLE DB binding manager which exists in Visual Basic 6.0.

The samples were compiled using ADO 2.1. If you have Visual Studio SP4, you can remove the reference to ADO 2.1 and replace it with a reference to ADO 2.5 without fear of breaking the samples. The samples have been tested thoroughly in both ADO 2.1 and ADO 2.5.

The IE samples require IE5 because they use an external VBS file. To get these samples to work in IE4, you will need to cut/paste the contents of the VBS file directly into the main HTML sample files.;

IE5 has a problem with printing the UltraGrid on a web page. You will need IE5.5 for this to work.

The DataWidgets Layout Conversion utility which can convert DataWidgets 3.x layouts to UltraGrid layouts requires that you have UltraGrid and at least 3.1 of DataWidgets installed on your system.

NOTE:  VB6 SP4 VERSIONS OF COMDLG32.OCX, MSCOMCTL.OCX, AND MSVBVM60.DLL ARE REQUIRED AND INSTALLED IN ORDER FOR THE ULTRAGRID PROPERTY PAGES TO RUN PROPERLY. THE INSTALL PROGRAM WILL ALLOW YOU TO SELECT TO BACKUP FILES INTO YOUR SELECTED APPLICATION BACKUP FOLDER.

Control Notes
For more detailed information, consult the Known Control Issues section of the help file (UltraGrid.chm).

Notes on AlphaBlending
AlphaBlending performance varies from system to system. We have noticed that AlphaBlending performance may increase dramatically when you reduce the level of hardware acceleration for your video card.

To determine if AlphaBlending performance is affected by your video driver's full acceleration mode, please follow these steps:

1. Run the AlphaBlending samplet in the Samples Explorer project. Move the slider and note the speed that the UltraGrid refreshes the display.
2. Under Windows 2000 and Windows 98/Me^*, right-click on your desktop and select "Properties".
3. Select the "Settings" tab.
4. Click on  the "Advanced" tab.
5. Select the "Troubleshooting" tab.
6. Reduce hardware acceleration one notch. It should now say something like, "Disable cursor and bitmap accelerations, etc."
7. Hit the Apply button. Your video driver may or may not require the reboot of your OS.
8. Run the AlphaBlending samplet in the Samples Explorer project again. Move the slider and note the speed that the UltraGrid refreshes the display.

^* AlphaBlending only works under Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE and Windows Me.

Update your ATLCOM.H in order to successfully use the UltraGrid in your ATL project
If you are using the UltraGrid in an ATL project, you will have to modify your ATLCOM.H header file so that ATL can handle enum parameters in control events.

An ATL event sink defined with SINK_ENTRY or SINK_ENTRY_EX will fail to catch an event when an enum is used as one of the parameters for the event. The failure code returned by IDispatch::Invoke is "0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG - The parameter is incorrect)." The event will succeed in another container, such as Visual Basic.

This is a Microsoft confirmed ATL 3.0 bug. For more information on the cause of this issue, and a listing of the changes needed to be made to atlcom.h, please review article #Q237771 on the Microsoft knowledge base. Or, follow this URL:

Upgrade Information

This section contains important information for users upgrading from earlier versions of ActiveToolBars, ActiveToolbars Plus or Designer Widgets to UltraToolBars.

Upgrading Visual Basic Projects

For Users of ActiveToolBars Plus:

It is easy to upgrade an existing Visual Basic project directly from ActiveToolBars Plus to UltraToolBars. Run the Conversion Utility, which can be accessed from the Start Menu (in the UltraToolBars group) and follow the directions.

Alternatively, it is possible to directly upgrade existing projects using the ActiveToolBars Plus controls to UltraToolBars by editing the project (VBP) file in a text editor, such as Notepad. You must make the following modification:

In the old VBP file, find the following lines:

Object={1BE65FA0-CBF9-11D2-BBC7-00104B9E0792}#2.0#0; SSTBARS2.OCX

Object={0A45DB48-BD0D-11D2-8D14-00104B9E072A}#2.0#0; SSTABS2.OCX

and change the object GUID, OCX name, and version number as in the following line:

Object={17259422-7BB1-421A-88DE-7EA81AC1AC6F}#4.0#0; IGTOOLBARS40.OCX

Object={D8F5B61D-9152-4399-BF30-A1E4F3F072F6}#4.0#0; IGTABS40.OCX

Save the file using your text editor, and then open the project as you normally would.

For Users of ActiveToolBars:

It is easy to upgrade an existing Visual Basic project directly from ActiveToolBars to UltraToolBars. Run the Conversion Utility, which can be accessed from the Start Menu (in the UltraToolBars group) and follow the directions.

Alternatively, it is possible to directly upgrade existing projects using the ActiveToolBars control (SSTBARS2.OCX) to UltraToolBars (IGTOOLBARS40.OCX) by editing the project (VBP) file in a text editor, such as Notepad. You must make the following modification:

In the old VBP file, find the following line:

Object={343F59D0-FE0F-11D0-A89A-0000C02AC6DB}#1.0#0; SSTBARS.OCX

and change the object GUID, OCX name, and version number as in the following line:

Object={17259422-7BB1-421A-88DE-7EA81AC1AC6F}#4.0#0; IGTOOLBARS40.OCX

Save the file using your text editor, and then open the project as you normally would.

For Users of Designer Widgets:

Although there is no direct procedure for upgrading a project from Designer Widgets to UltraToolBars, existing Designer Widgets Toolsets can be converted using the Toolset Conversion Wizard, located on the Start Menu, in the UltraToolBars group.

Additionally, the ActiveTabs control supports many of the same features as the Designer Widgets IndexTab control, but is more efficient. The layout of your index tabs can be quickly mimicked by adding a new form to your existing Designer Widgets project and placing an ActiveTabs control on the new form. Create an equal number of tabs as in the original, and place an ActiveTabPanel on each. Next, select multiple controls from the Designer Widgets IndexTab control by clicking while holding down the Ctrl key. When all of the controls of a tab are selected, copy them using the Visual Basic Edit menu or Ctrl-C. Finally, select the appropriate ActiveTabPanel control and paste the controls into it by using the Edit menu or Ctrl-V. Repeat this for each tab to convert the appearance of your tabbed interface from a Designer Widgets project to an ActiveToolBars Plus project.

At this time, the ActiveTabs control's NotePage style does not directly replicate the Designer Widgets IndexTab's Page mode, however, the appearance can be easily emulated by creating two ActiveTabs controls-one the child of another-the parent with the default style and the child with a tab style of 1 (ssStyleNotePage) or 2 (ssStyleNotePageFlat). The controls should then be placed on an ActiveTabPanel control on the child ActiveTabs control.

For ActiveThreed Plus users:

It is easy to upgrade an existing Visual Basic project directly from ActiveThreed Plus to UltraToolbars. Use the conversion utility installed with UltraToolbars to make the necessary changes for you. Run the program named Conversion.exe (located in the directory where you installed UltraToolbars) and follow the directions.

Alternatively, you may upgrade your existing projects by editing the Visual Basic Project file (.VBP). Open the project's .VBP file in Notepad, or a similar text editor, and follow the simple steps below.

1. Find the following lines:

Object={065E6FD1-1BF9-11D2-BAE8-00104B9E0792}#3.0#0; ssa3d30.ocx

Object={8C3D4AA0-2599-11D2-BAF1-00104B9E0792}#3.0#0; sssplt30.ocx

Object={44ECA3F0-BDD9-11D1-B3C2-00104B2B8509}#3.0#0; SSSPLS30.OCX

Object={E2585150-2883-11D2-B1DA-00104B9E0750}#3.0#0; SSRESZ30.OCX

Object={997E9620-3391-11D2-9DCF-00104B9E078A}#3.0#0; SSTRAN30.OCX

Upgrade Issues

The previous version of the SSCheck control found in THREED32.OCX and THREED16.OCX supported only two logical states: checked and unchecked. This differs from the standard Visual Basic and Windows check box which supports three states; checked, unchecked and grayed.

If you have existing programs that use a previous version of the SSCheck control, and those programs assume a specific set of values (i.e. that only 2 states are available) you must make sure that the TripleState property is set to False. This is the default setting, and ensures full compatibility with previous versions of the control. However, if you wish to use the new capabilities of the control, or use the SSCheck to replace standard check boxes, you should make sure TripleState is set to True.

ActiveToolBars Plus Known Control Issues
The ActiveTabs control, like most container controls, does not function properly when inserted directly into an HTML document. Almost all container controls experience problems when directly placed in an HTML document. However, the ActiveTabs control should function normally when wrapped, such as when it is embedded within an ActiveX User Control or Document.

For other known control issues, see the Known Issues section of the help file.

ActiveToolBars Plus New Features
Version 2.03
- The property DragFullToolBars has been added. The DragFullToolBars property specifies whether or not the control will follow the "Show Full Window Contents While Dragging" system setting. 

    When set to ssDragFullFollowSystem, the control will act like before - following the system setting.
    
    When ssDragFullFalse, the control will ignore the system setting, and toolbars will be dragged with a drag rect. 
    
    When set to ssDragFullTrue, a toolbar's contents will be shown while dragging. 
    
    The property will be ssDragFullFollowSystem by default, to preserve existing applications.  

    See the help file for details.

- The constant ssChangeAllVisible has been added to the ChangeAll method.  See the help file for details.

- The combobox's style property has been made read-write at runtime except when the tool has focus.  See the help file for details.

Version 2.02
- The following constant has been added to the ControlName.CustomizationString argument:

        ssDeleteToolbarDlg

This constant makes it possible to customize the titlebar of the dialog displayed when the user deletes a runtime toolbar from the runtime customizer.

- The following constants were added to support the new menu animations for Windows 2000:

        ssExplodeMenuItem
        ssFadeInMenuItem

Note:  Setting the ssExplodeMenuItem and ssFadeInMenuItem customization strings under an OS other than Windows2000 does nothing since the new animations will not appear in the runtime customizer where the user can select the MenuAnimation style.

- The following Enumerations have been added to the Constants_MenuAnimation collection to support the new menu animations in Windows 2000:

        ssAnimationExplode = 4
        ssAnimationFadeIn = 5

Note:  If the MenuAnimation property is set to either of these constants under any other OS, it is equivalent to setting the property to ssAnimationRandom.

ActiveThreed Plus Control Notes

New method added to SSResizer control:
A new method, Reset has been added to the SSResizer control, and when invoked resets the proportions used by the control when resizing other controls. 

New property added to SSSplitter control:
A new property, AllowMdiChildForms has been added to the SSSplitter control, and when set to True allows MdiChild forms to be set in a pane. This will allow focus to work correctly for this project with the caveat that you can't press the End key on any error dialog or you will get a GPF.

Splitter Panes containing forms:
You can now place a form inside a Splitter pane by using the Panes Control property at run-time. To do this remove the Caption and ControlBox from the form and in code set the Pane.Control property to the Form.hWnd property. See the ActiveSuite example for sample code.

When attempting to set focus to a form in a Splitter pane please note that since there is no way to set the container of a Form in VB, we are forced to use the Form's hwnd and re-parent using the Windows API SetParent.  Unfortunately, this prevents VB from being notified of the re-parenting resulting in control focus issues occurring.  One side effect is being unable to set focus to a control on a Splitter Form on the first mouse click.  Another side effect is that tab order of the main Form and the re-parented Form are separate.  You cannot tab from control on one Form to controls on the other.

Zorder Issues with Frame and Panel controls:
There is a known problem pertaining to Zorder with the Frame and Panel controls at design time in Visual Basic when the BackStyle property is set to ‘Transparent’. Unfortunately there is no current solution to this problem. For some reason when Visual Basic has a transparent control on a form it seems to reverse the Zorder of the transparent controls. NOTE: This only occurs at design time, at run time the correct Zorder is maintained.

Windowless property default value has been changed:
In ActiveThreed Plus the Windowless property now defaults to FALSE. This causes the control to have a window. If you prefer to have the control Windowless, set the property to TRUE. Note that there are limitations with Visual Basic 5's support of windowless controls. If you experience problems with windowless controls reset the Windowless property back to FALSE.

Delay values:
Note that when setting PictureAnimationDelay and MarqueeDelay properties the resolution under Windows 95 is 55 milliseconds, under Windows NT it is 10ms. If the delay is set to less than the resolution, the delay is equivalent to 0 and will be affected by any other applications using timers.

Transparency issues:
If you place a transparent control on top of another control (for example, a transparent SSPanel on top of a command button) the user of your application will be able to see the control, but will not be able to access it. You should avoid placing transparent controls on top of other controls.

Using Resizer with nested Microsoft Tabbed Dialog controls:
When using nested Microsoft Tabbed Dialog controls in VB it is possible to have the fonts of the tab controls resize improperly. This is a known issue with the tabbed dialog control. If you experience this problem simply change the fonts of the tabbed dialog controls to any other font and then switch back to the original font immediately after placing them on a form.

Transitioning certain controls does not work:
The way the Transition control works is that it sends a WM_PAINT message to all of its child controls with a memory dc in the wParam. Almost all controls correctly render themselves into this dc. However, certain controls don’t behave properly and unfortunately there is nothing that the Transition control can do to get around the problem.

The most notable example is the version 6 ListView control that ships with VB6. The version 5 control works fine, it seems the problem was introduced in version 6. If you encounter this problem with either the ListView or another 3^rd party control one workaround is to perform a SSTransition.Refresh or a ListView.Refresh after the transition finishes. This won’t show the control during the transition but will force a refresh afterward. You may also want to contact the control vendor to report the problem.

Too complex regions for SSSplash, SSRibbon and SSCommand:
The SSSplash control uses its Picture property to create an irregularly shaped region for its parent form. The SSRibbon and SSCommand controls use their Shape property (which is also a picture) to create an irregularly shaped region for their windows. There are situations where the region can be too complex for the OS to handle. This is especially true under Windows 95 and 98 in 256-color mode. If you have an image with large areas of a dithered color and one of the solid colors that makes up the dither is the transparent color (which is taken from the bottom/left corner pixel of the control) then the creation of the region may fail. When this happens at design time the SSSplash control will display the following message:

“The window region could not be created which may indicate that it is too complex.

The ActiveSplash control uses the color value of the lower left corner pixel as the transparent color. If this color is also used as part of a dithered color that covers a large area of the image the region may contain too many very small transparent areas. This happens most often in 256-color mode.

If the control's Picture property is set to an icon or metafile try setting the BackColor property to a SOLID color that is not used in dithered areas of the image.

If the Picture property is set to a bitmap try changing the lower left corner pixel to a color that isn't used in dithered areas."

Note: If you are developing under NT the window region creation may succeed but may fail when the application is run under 95 or 98. When this happens at runtime, no error message is displayed and the window reverts to being rectangular.
