Version 6.53:

• VB6/VC++ and Windows Vista only: The control's border could be incorrectly rendered when Windows themes are used. The semi-transparent areas used an incorrect background color.
• VB6 and Windows Vista only: When used on a frame control, the selection colors and the control's edit area used the wrong background colors.
• .NET only (managed application, C#, VB.NET): Using SftMask/OCX for cell editing with SftTree/OCX could result in a stack overflow when the calendar was shown during cell editing and the user clicked somewhere other than the current cell within the tree control.

Version 6.52:

• Enhancement: Support for Windows 7 has been added.
• Enhancement: The web license requirement, when used on web pages, has been removed.
• The SftMask.Alignment property only worked with formatted text (FormattedText property) and was ignored for the Text property.
• When the control was just a bit wider than the content of the control (Text property) and the caption area was resized during form loading due to property settings, the text was truncated on the left, as if the text scrolled too far. Once the control received the input focus, the contents were displayed correctly.

Version 6.51:

• The MatchAddCustomItems event did not occur if none of the saved entries matched the current text entered. The MatchAddCustomItems event now always occurs even if there are no matching saved entries.
• Some of the samples in the documentation incorrectly used SftMaskLib60 instead of SftMaskLib65. The source files for the C# and VB.NET samples were from SftMask/OCX 6.0.
• Visual Studio 2003 only: The OCXHelper control could not be added to a form and would result in error message "The .NET assembly 'Softelvdm.OCXHelper' could not be found".
• Changing the AutoComplete.File property after the file has been opened for use had no effect.

Version 6.50:

• Initial product release.

The following changes have been implemented and are currently available via hotfix (above) and will be available in the next version.

Version 6.54:

• None.

We are working on the following items, which will be available soon (within a few days to a month).
