We are approaching the first beta of the newest release for our VCL customers and throughout the next week, Julian and I will describe some of the features/products we'll ship in v15.1.
I'll start things off with a quick description of a new control we'll include as part of this release - the DevExpress VCL Rating Control. The control will be available in both unbound and data-aware mode and can be used on a standalone basis or as an in-place cell editor for container components such as the ExpressQuantumGrid.
The new Rating Control will be part of the ExpressEditors Library and will offer the following customization options:
- Change control orientation from horizontal to vertical.
- Change control direction.
- Modify the number of visual elements (stars) displayed in the control.
- Use custom element images.
- Use one of three element fill modes (entire star, half-star precision or fill star by the control's value)
There are a number of interesting use-cases for a Rating Control inside a Windows app. We'd love to hear how you might potentially use this control in your projects...
