Please log in to access all product updates and hotfixes available to you.

Hotfixes can also be applied to demo installations of a product.

Product support requires a current annual support subscription (the first year is included in the product's purchase price). If your subscription has expired, you can renew after logging in.

The demo cannot be used on 64 bit versions of Windows Vista or Windows XP.

This is a limitation of the demo only. The product SftTree/NET 2.0 can be installed and used on all 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms, only the demo is limited to 32-bit platforms.

• The demo version cannot be used to create distributable applications.

• Miscellaneous

Version 2.00:

• This is the initial Beta release. Final Beta information is available here.

Version 2.01:

• This is the initial release.

Version 2.02:

• Enhancement: Support for Visual Studio Express Editions and support for Visual Studio 2008 is available.

• Enhancement: In the property grid, all events were in the "Misc" category. Categories have now been added.

• Bug: The ExploreAssembly sample didn't resize columns after expanding/collapsing items.

• Minor documentation changes correcting errors and omissions.

Version 2.03:

• Enhancement: Support for Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions

• Enhancement: The parent form's sizing grip wasn't visible under certain circumstances. The control now renders the sizing grip itself, no longer relying on the containing form.

• Enhancement: New methods to move/copy an item (and its dependents) within one tree control and between two tree controls.

• Enhancement: A new DragDrop sample has been added demonstrating drag & drop within and between tree controls, copying and moving items.

• Enhancement: New ItemReleased event, similar to ItemClick event, with detailed information about the mouse button that was released (including item, cell, part details), usually used for context menus in response to the right mouse button.

• Enhancement: ScrollIntoView now automatically expands the parent item if necessary to make an item visible (Visible = true).

• Bug: When using item selection in a single-column tree control, the up/down arrow keys could automatically expand branches.

• Bug: When using item selection, the left arrow key would not advance to the item's parent item as documented.

• Bug: Tooltips and scrolltips would remain even when the control was resized.

Version 2.04:

• Bug: When double-clicking the column header resizing area, a column could become wider/narrower than the column's maximum/minimum widths (MaxWidth, MinWidth).

• Bug: The KeepPosition property was ignored for the right-most column in a group of columns with the KeepPosition property set.

• Enhancement: Vista and VS2008 only: When using the DateTimePicker control for cell editing, the EditClickOutside event must be handled and checked for a ClassName of SysMonthCal32, in which case EndEditing can be set to False.

  Private Sub SftTree1_EditClickOutside(
              ByVal sender As Object, _
              ByVal e As EditClickOutsideEventArgs) _
              Handles SftTree1.EditClickOutside
      Debug.Print("**** EditClickOutside" + e.ClassName)
      If e.ClassName = "SysMonthCal32" Then
          e.EndEditing = False
      End If
  End Sub
  

  Since the DateTimePicker control is frequently used, this is now done automatically by the control.

• Bug: A few topics did not show VB sample code. These were based on the EditSample1 code, which didn't have topic links.

• Bug: With certain regional and language settings, our samples could not be opened in design mode and some samples wouldn't run (yes, not one of our brighter moments...).

Version 2.05:

• LowerMainCell and the equivalent UpperMainCell properties returned one of the subordinate cells instead of null/Nothing when the end (or start) is reached.

• Vista x64 and VS 2008: Help file failed to display due to the internal SftHelpNET2 component.

Version 2.06:

• The MakeOptimal did not honor the MaxScan argument.

• Changing the number of columns was too slow when the control was already populated.

• While cell editing, mouse wheel events would incorrectly be processed by the tree control if the control used for cell editing didn't handle the mouse wheel event.

• When double-clicking extremely quickly on a column header/footer, the column would be reordered and become the last column (apparently dependent on mouse driver resolution).

• Windows Vista: The splitter bar has been changed to support hot-tracking and to correct the right side which could show artifacts of the background showing through.

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

Version 2.07:

• None

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

• None.
