This sneak peek brings you a couple of UI centric features. Firstly, enhanced ASP.Net property editors. Previously, custom ASP.NET Property Editors were rendered only in edit mode. In view mode, different built-in templates were used for different data types. Now, custom Property Editors are correctly rendered in List Views in both edit and view modes.
In this screenshot you can see a custom Property Editor (5-stars rater editor) correctly displaying 4 stars. Before XAF v2010 vol1, a plain number ‘4’ was displayed instead.
Prior to 10.1 the Ribbon UI - an interface similar to the Microsoft Office 2007/2010 interface was supported via a special module which needed to be included in the application and required manual configuration. Now, the Ribbon UI is automatically supported in all WinForms XAF applications. To enable or disable the Ribbon UI, you only need to specify a single Application Model property.
That’s it for this quick sneak peek, ‘til next time, happy XAFing! :-)
