What's new in this version?

Command bars

·Improved toolbar editing: now, you can specify the common attributes, such as image lists or toolbar names, in the Toolbar Editor, and these attributes will be automatically loaded by the framework (see screenshot).

·Added support for the menu item data in the menu bar import and export methods.

·Ribbon customization: a new member m_bAddSubItemsToTreePanel specifies whether Ribbon control sub-items should be added to the panel node of the customization tree. In addition, you can specify the customization data file default name by overriding a new method CBCGPRibbonBar::GetExportedFileDefaultName.

Controls

• CBCGPMultiLinkCtrl: implemented CLinkCtrl-like methods such as SetItem, SetItemID, SetItemUrl, SetItemState, GetItem, GetItemID, GetItemUrl, and GetItemState. Using these methods, you can specify or retrieve the specific link attributes. The new class members m_clrLinkVisited and m_clrLinkDisabled allow you to specify the custom colors of the visited and disabled links. Please take a look at the BCGPControls example ("Link buttons" view; see screenshot) to see these additions in action.
• CBCGPButton: you can now assign CBCGPSVGImage directly to the control using new versions of the SetImage and SetCheckedImage methods (please take a look at the BCGPControls example, "Check/Radio buttons" view).
• CBCGPTreeCtrlEx: improved keyboard navigation when the tree control has one column only; now, the navigation is very similar to the Windows tree view keyboard navigation.

· CBCGPTreeCtrlEx: added LPSTR_TEXTCALLBACK and I_IMAGECALLBACK values support for the tree item dynamic text label and icons.

Miscellaneous

Significantly improved performance of inserting a large number of items when the grid (or extended tree control) has a hierarchical structure. For example, adding

1000 items each with 1 000 subitems takes less than 2 seconds now (in the previous versions, this operation took tens of seconds). Now, you can create the grid with a huge number of items and utilize advanced features such as filters and groups.

·Calendar and Planner: improved visual appearance in the Office 2022 themes (see screenshot).

·CBCGPMDITabParams: a new member m_bBalancedGroupLayout specifies whether the MDI tabbed groups have the same size after creating a new tabbed group. Please take a look at the MDITabsDemo sample to see this new feature in action.

·Improved appearance of dialog controls when the user specified the custom Windows text size. All controls have the same font size as the parent dialog font.
