FIX:
Bug#43 <http://support.fushnisoft.com/thebuggenie/clarionaddins/issues/43>_ Selection is now restored correctly for all properties.
FIX:Bug#43 <http://support.fushnisoft.com/thebuggenie/clarionaddins/issues/43>_ As mentioned in the comments, there is now a workaround implemented for restoring the grid state when opening the window/report designer. The workaround is using a delay value for the restoration when opening the designer. The default value is 1000 milliseconds (1 Second) which seems to be OK in my testing but it is configurable from the grid options if you have any issues or just want to play with it.
Release: 0.15, 14 March 2012
FIX: Remember Selected Property feature was not working correctly for properties 3 levels deep (e.g. AT/Height/Value). This change is a temporary patch that disables the feature only on those properties. Full fix coming soon.
Release: 0.14, 8 March 2012
FIX: Remember Selected Property feature now also saves and restores child properties correctly.
CHANGE: Toolbar icons are now 24x24 so they look better with default toolbar size
Release: 0.13, 7 March 2012
INFO: Internal Beta Release
Release: 0.12, 7 March 2012
INFO: Internal Beta Release
Release: 0.11, 7 March 2012
FIX: Possible fix for All state handling issues. Restore state on initial grid loading, on TAB to next property, on moving controls with cursor keys, on multiple selections, etc
FEATURE: Option (on by default) to save/restore the property selection. This includes focusing the selected property within the grid!
Release: 0.10, 29 February 2012
FIX: Possible fix for NullReferenceException with C8 build 8973
Release: 0.9, 28 February 2012
FIX: Fingers crossed this is the definitive fix for the issues plaguing the restire tree state feature! It looks like I have found the correct way to override the default expand all on opening as well as when the grid has focus.
FIX: Well… there is one catch with the above fix. If you select a control in the designer and move it using the cursor keys then the grid state becomes fully expanded. The good news is that as soon as you move focus away from that selected control the saved state is restored
Release: 0.8, 27 February 2012
INFO: Internal Release
Release: 0.7, 26 February 2012
INFO: Internal Release
Release: 0.6, 8 October 2011
FIX: Create temp directory if it doesn’t already exist. Normal this is handled by the IDE but only when you first open a text file for editing, not if you go straight to a property grid!
FIX: The property enumerator was not correctly looping over all child properties. This could result in some descendants not being saved/restored.
FIX: The initial load of window and report designers is sending a few extra ExpandAll commands. These appear to now be correctly suppressed allowing the restore to function correctly.
