January 30th, 2010New control type:
· The framework offers a new built-in control type: Html. The Html control can display HTML text in a toolbar.
· The HTML text to display is either downloaded from a given URL or read directly from the toolbar configuration file.
New built-in command:
· The framework offers a new built-in command: Html. The Html command is typically associated with a Html control.
· The Html command is a container for the HTML text to display in the Html control.
· The sample toolbar projects generated by ToolbarCreator illustrate how to use the Html control and the Html command.
January 30th, 2010New built-in commands:
· The framework offers four new built-in commands: FindNext, FindPrevious, Highlight and Execute.
· The FindNext and FindPrevious commands search for a given phrase or term on the current web page.
· The Highlight command highlights a given phrase or term on the current web page.
· The Execute command makes it possible to launch applications from a toolbar.
Bitmaps on menu-items:
· A much asked for feature has finally been implemented: Bitmaps on menu items. Bitmaps are associated with menu-items in the toolbar configuration file, similarly to how bitmaps are associated with toolbar buttons.
Keyboard events:
· Keyboard events can now be intercepted by overriding the ToolBandContextC member function KeyboardHook( ). This makes it possible to create a toolbar that supports keyboard shortcuts.
New command base class with browser event handling:
· The new command base class, CommandWithEventsC, makes it easier for commands to intercept browser events. Override the member function Invoke() to be notified when files are downloaded, when a new web page is opened and so on.
Navigate can open links in new windows:
· A target frame can now be specified for the built-in command Navigate.
Support for elevation on Windows Vista:
· The framework now has built-in support for Windows Vista elevation. Elevation is usually required if a toolbar needs to access the local file system.
Scripts can be executed in all frames on a web page:
· It is now possible to specify that a script must run in all frames on a web page when using the built-in commands JavaScript and VBScript.
XML configuration file can be accessed from commands:
· The XML node of the control activating a command can now be accessed from the command. This makes it easier to pass data from the toolbar configuration file to the commands.
January 30th, 2010· The release contains mostly bug-fixes.
January 30th, 2010New built-in commands:
· The framework offers three new built-in commands: Navigate, JavaScript and VBScript.
· The Navigate command makes it a lot easier to add simple link buttons to a toolbar. It is no longer necessary to implement a new command for each button. Now all it takes is a single line in the XML configuration file.
· The JavaScript and VBScript commands makes it possible to execute scripts on the current web page from the toolbar. Buttons performing simple tasks, such as auto-fill, can be implemented by simply specifying some script code in the toolbar configuration file.
Control parameters:
· The button, edit and combo-box controls now have an optional parameter. The parameter is specified in the toolbar configuration file and passed to the associated command when the command is executed. Parameters make it possible to reuse commands with slight variations. This may reduce the amount of coding required when implementing a toolbar.
Improved support for tabbing:
· The Tab key can now be used to move keyboard focus between different edit and combo-box controls in a toolbar.
Keyboard accelerator support:
· It is now possible to assign keyboard accelerators to buttons in a toolbar. The entity & is used instead of the usual ampersand. For example, assigns the accelerator 'H' to the button. The accelerators are active when focus is in an edit or combo-box control in the toolbar.
· Visual Studio 6 and 2003 are no longer supported. ToolbarCreator now creates Visual Studio 2005 workspaces only.
January 30th, 2010· The framework has been updated to support Unicode (Visual Studio 2005 only)
· Type of display string arguments to member functions has been changed from const char * to CString
· The encoding of the XML file has been changed to utf-8 to support Unicode strings in toolbar configuration.
· The CComModule definition has been changed if _UNICODE is defined
· The CComModule implementation has been changed if _UNICODE is defined
January 30th, 2010· Support for Windows Vista
· Access to CToolBarCtrl
· New events
· The new member function GetToolBarCtrl() returns the underlying CToolBarCtrl.
· The new member functions MouseOver(), MouseOut() and CancelDropDown() are called by the framework in response to toolbar events.
· The new member functions MouseOver(), MouseOut() and CancelDropDown() can be overridden in subclasses to capture toolbar events.
January 30th, 2010· Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
· Support for Internet Explorer 7.0
· Toolbars are enabled automatically after installation
· Resources have been restructured to avoid conflicts with MFC resources
January 30th, 2010ControlI (changed):
· The new member function GetCommand() returns the command associated with a control.
· The new member function GetWindowsControl() returns the underlying Windows control, e.g. a CComboBox or a CEdit.
ToolBandContextC (changed):
· The new overridable ToolBandCreated() is called by the framework when the toolband has been initialized. The method can be used to add more controls to the toolband after initializing from the XML file.
CommandC (changed):
· A position parameter has been added to the member function AddItem(const char *Item, int Position = -1). AddItem() is used to add items to a combo-box.
