Release Notes

From now on Prof-UIS will be available in two versions: Freeware and Commercial


What’s New

  • Completely new docking mechanism for resizable control bars
  • Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET like resizable control bar, which optionally shows its content while dragging/resizing as the Task Area bar does in Office 2000® and Office XP®
  • Resizable bars can be placed in all sorts of combinations relatively to each other both in the main frame window and in the smart floating containers
  • Resizable dialog and resizable property sheet with styled push buttons, which both have the new system menu, and resizable property page (these windows also support the MFC automatic tooltip feature for their child toolbar windows)
  • Generalized template window classes for various common tasks like injecting non-client area borders into any window, providing flicker-free repainting, anchoring child windows to the borders of their parent window
  • Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET like resizable control bar, which can be docked inside tab containers that have detachable tabs. It also optionally supports the autohide mode (COMMERCIAL VERSION ONLY)
  • Powerful tab window, which supports the group mode like in autohide control bar areas in Visual Studio .NET, the Close and Help buttons (optional), different align modes for its tab items, horizontal and vertical styles, and the ability to dock automatically to the left/right/top/bottom side of its parent window as the control bar does (COMMERCIAL VERSION ONLY)
  • MDI tab window, which can dock automatically to the left/right/top/bottom side of its parent window and combine the border around the MDI client area with its own border like in Visual Studio .NET (COMMERCIAL VERSION ONLY)
  • New and updated samples
