Click here to jump to the ComboPlusCTL product page

  • New to this version (1.8.179)
    • Mostly cosmetic changes.
    • A few small details were cleared up.. extra pixel on right side of dropdown was still intermittent depending on how the pixels lined up. Should be fixed.
       
  • New to this version (1.8.177)
    • Relaxed Licensing

      The previous release locked the license number to a specific install date. This made re-installation on another computer or after reformatting the hard drive impossible without obtaining a new license key. I removed this limitation. At the same time, I added code to allow running the version I have posted here in the VB IDE Only. Even if fully registered, attempting to run this version from a compiled program will result in Error 429 (license not found). When I get your registration information, I'll include the latest ocx's along with the registration key. The versions that come with the registration keys are fully functional in a compiled exe.

      Note to customers with previous versions. Once you install the new controls, simply send me the contents of the registration file that will be placed on your desktop. I will send you the new registration keys ASAP. Remember! These controls work from within the IDE only. As stated above, a completely unrestricted version will be sent with the license key.
       
  • New to this version (1.8.173)
    • Bug Fix

      ColumnClick fired twice every time the header was clicked, making it hard to use a Boolean flag in that click event to help you determine sort order, etc. Thanks to JC for pointing this out.
       
  • New to this version (1.8.172)
    • Cosmetic Bug Fix

      Cosmetic bug fix. There was a single pixel margin to the right of the dropdown list that was annoying some. Should be fixed now.
       
    • New AllowColumnReorder Property

      It's now possible to drag and drop the columns in any order you want.
       
    • New AutoHeight Property.

      This property, when set = False, allow you to resize ComboPlusCTL vertically. When this property is set = True (Default), the vertical height is calculated based on font size (Same as a standard VB ComboBox control)
       
    • New ColumnReorder Event

      This event is raised when ever a user reorders the columns.
       
    • New ColumnOrder Property

      Allows you to specify or retrieve the current column order.
       
    • InstallShield Setup

      I placed everything in an InstallShield created Windows Installer setup file (msi) to make the demo easier.. no more manual regsvr32 work
