New Features

SftBox/OCX 5.0 is fully upward compatible to version 4.5 and older versions. Please see "Upgrading To Version 5.0" for information about upgrading your projects to use this new version.

New In Version 5.0

  • SftBox/OCX 5.0 no longer provides help documentation integrated with development tools in various custom formats - instead documentation is located at https://softelvdm.com/Documentation/SftBox OCX 5 0, which allows for continuous documentation updates without the need to release a new product version. Web access is required to access the product documentation.
  • HTML samples have been removed - Use of SftBox/OCX with Internet Explorer is no longer recommended - Cabinet files are included with SftBox/OCX 5.0. This is the last release supporting Internet Explorer. Future releases will no longer include cabinet files for support of Internet Explorer.
  • Sample solutions for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019.
  • Now includes 64-bit controls in addition to the 32-bit controls. This is most useful for all managed .NET applications compiled for "Any CPU" and for native C++ and MFC applications compiled as 64-bit applications.
  • The file Softelvdm.OCXHelperV2.dll (required for managed .NET applications) no longer needs to be registered for COM Interop, simplifying distribution and installation of end-user applications - XCOPY deployment of this file is now possible.
  • New ColumnSizeStarted and ColumnSizeEnded events to signal when column resizing starts and ends.
  • Expanded GridStyle property with new options.
  • New Columns.Order property to save/load the order of all columns.
  • New Columns.Widths property to save/load the widths of all columns.
  • The Load and Save methods have been expanded to support an additional format.
  • New MouseOverTransitionEffect property used to define transition effects used when the mouse enters/leaves the control.
  • Support for Visual Studio 2017, 2019.
  • Installation options allow the control to be automatically added to the Toolbox in Visual Studio 2017, 2019 (in addition to earlier Visual Studio versions).
