SftTree/OCX 7.0 New Features

 SftTree/OCX 7.0 is virtually 100% upward compatible from version 6.5 and older versions. Upgrading a project from an older version usually takes just a few minutes and offers these new features. For details about upgrading, please see "Upgrading To Version 7.0".

  • Many new properties and methods to support the new column footers (see the SftTreeFooters and SftTreeFooter objects).
  • The Footer property returns a SftTreeFooter object for a given column.
  • The Footers property returns the SftTreeFooters object.
  • A new ToolTipColumnFooter event is used to provide ToolTips for column footers.
  • Many new properties and methods to support the new row/column footer (see the RowColumnFooter object).
  • The RowColumnFooter property returns a SftTreeRowColumnFooter object for a given column.
  • The delay after which ToolTips are displayed and hidden can now be defined using the Items.ToolTipIntervalOn and Items.ToolTipIntervalOff properties.
  • New events signaling that the mouse cursor is entering/leaving the control (MouseEnterControl, MouseLeaveControl).
  • A new ToolTipColumnHeader event has been introduced replacing the ToolTipColumn event to make the event name more consistent. The ToolTipColumn event is still available.
  • The new AutoExpandDragDropInterval defines the delay (in milliseconds) after which items are automatically expanded during an OLE drag & drop operation.
  • The new AutoExpandHoverInterval defines the delay (in milliseconds) after which items are automatically expanded when the mouse cursor hovers over an item.
  • New RowColumnHeader.Width and RowColumnHeader.WidthPix properties to define the row header and row/column header width (identical to the already available RowHeaders.Width, RowHeaders.WidthPix properties).
  • New Headers.EdgeHorizontalColor, Headers.EdgeVerticalColor, Items.EdgeHorizontalColor, Items.EdgeVerticalColor, RowColumnHeader.EdgeHorizontalColor, RowColumnHeader.EdgeVerticalColor, RowHeaders.EdgeHorizontalColor, RowHeaders.EdgeVerticalColor properties to define the color used between header/footers.
  • Various corrections to help file syntax.
  • Support for Help Viewer 1.1 (Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1)
  • Enhanced property pages.
