Actipro Grids for WPF 2020.1

Microsoft .NET Core Assemblies

• Control products now ship in both Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and Microsoft .NET Core 3.0 assembly variations. You will now be able to use native .NET Core-based Actipro assemblies in your .NET Core apps.

NuGet Packages

• Another big request has been to supply NuGet packages for the controls. NuGet packages are published on nuget.org and contain both the .NET Core and .NET Framework variations of the assemblies.

Grids

• Added a TypeDescriptorFactory feature that looks at a PropertyGrid's manually-specified PropertyModel instances with CanAutoConfigure set to true and a Value binding, and automatically populates most of the PropertyModel properties.
• Added the IPropertyModel.StandardValuesSelectedValuePath property that specifies an optional path to bind to ComboBox.SelectedValuePath when displaying a property editor for limited standard values.
• Added the PropertyGrid.ImmediateStringValueTemplate property and the related DefaultValueTemplateKind.ImmediateString enum value to select it. The new DataTemplate is the same as the DefaultStringValueTemplate but uses a binding that updates immediately as text is typed instead of only on focus loss.
• Updated PropertyModel to inherit FrameworkElement, allowing for manually specifying PropertyGrid properties in XAML with full data binding support, and without the need for proxy object workarounds.
• Updated PropertyGrid so that if a PropertyGridItem with IsTabStop = false is clicked, focus attempts to move immediately into the value cell.
• Updated how TreeListBox tracks its active tree node when the selection changes.
• Updated the TreeListBoxItemAdapter.OnDrop method to be called with the TreeItemDropArea result from the previous OnDragOver method call.
