Version 2.25 - June 22, 2004

Release Notes

The new version includes a set of new classes, improvements, bug fixes, and renewed documentation. We also decided to remake the Prof-UIS Controls sample rather than increase a number of samples that demonstrate the new features.

Version 2.25 is not completely backward compatible with respect to using the following MFC’s controls: check box, radio button, group box, and static text. For implementing these controls use corresponding Prof-UIS classes (CExtCheckBox, CExtRadioButton, CExtGroupBox, and CExtLabel), which, apart from some additional features not presented in the standard controls, are better consistent with the Office 2003 theme.

What’s New

  • Date picker control that looks like and has the same features as the mini-calendar (the Date Navigator) in Microsoft Outlook
  • Enhanced check box and radio button controls whose appearance are based on bitmaps and can be easily customized
  • Group box, which allows its child controls to be drawn correctly when the Office 2003 theme is applied. The new group box also supports three border styles: ETCHED, ROUNDED, and FLAT
  • Context menu to the combo box/edit now supports the Prof-UIS themes
  • Dialog for managing open child windows in MDI-applications (the “Windows…” dialog)
  • Completely renewed Prof-UIS Controls sample, which demonstrates the existing and new features
  • Renewed CHM help, which is now provided with indexes and better consistent with the MSDN MFC documentation style
  • Grid classes are now fully documented
