News from 31-Dec-2010 (KOL & MCK v3.04)

Attention: in version 3.04 declaration of TMsg type was changed so events OnMessage (assigned earlier) becomes not compatible with new TMsg declaration. To fix this it is sufficient to replace tagMsg in your source code onto TMsg. In MCK projects, such changes should be done automatically.

[+] Record type TMsg redeclared, decoding message code with symbolic message names (via enumerated constant type). VK
[+] TImageList: prperty OverlayIdx added simplifying overlays usage. VK
[+] TControl (toolbar): function TBBtnEvent added. VK
[+] TControl (toolbar): function TBBtnTooltip added. VK
[+] TControl (form): function CenterOnForm added (for forms only). VK
[*] TDirList: some code size optimizations. VK
[-] TControl (USE_MH_TOOLTIP): app crash fixed on dynamic control destroying. VK
[*] TControl (DefaultBtn, CancelBtn): small code size optimizations. VK
[*] Also some internal fields are renamed (fOnChange -> fOnChangeCtl, fOnGTChange, fOnChangeCanvas). VK
[-] TControl (ImageShow): assignment of initial CurIndex fixed. VK
[+] DirDlgEx (KOLadd): centering of a dialog ShowQuestion provided on an active application form. VK
 
News from 17-Dec-2010 (KOL & MCK v3.03)

For about two last months the constant work was making under the bugs and incompatibilities issued by the serious refactoring of some basic KOL structures (which became necessary to make TControl object instances less memory consuming). For now, the main work is finished mainly. You can use new KOL/MCK versions without compatibility options, returning all (or almost all) to version 2.94++. If problems occur please write on the Russian forum or e-mail (don't forget about subject: big letters KOL can help me see filter your mail). Reported bugs (if bugs) will be fixing as soon as possible. Note: using new options can require modifications in some KOL/MCK components, especially in visual ones. It is desirable that such changes were done by their authors or programmers using such components actively. I agree to consult in complex cases and to publish renewed versions of components on the KOL/MCK site.

[-] Fixed: compilation with property FormCompact=true (MCK). Note: using this property has a sense only for very large forms. Fixing it is not aimed as primary. VK
[-] Fixed: tabulating between controls (asm-version), function NewWindowed. VK
[-] Also, in version 3.02: important fix for RichEdit. Without such fix, correct working could be achieved using compatibility option  STATIC_RICHEDIT_DATA (conditional symbol definition). VK
[*] Also, in version 3.01: an option was added to turn off image resource compression in MCK components (TKOLImageList, TKOLButton, etc.) VK
[-] Also, in version 3.00.Z7: firing OnChar event was fixed for UNICODE_CTRLS, and also TBitmap.RLESaveTo... for pf4bit format. VK, Jon

News from 3-Oct-2010 (KOL & MCK v3.00)
[*] A lot of changes to provide lower (about 1/5) memory usage for TControl object. Conditional symbols USE_OLD_FLAGS, EVENTS_STATIC, NIL_EVENTS, COMMANDACTIONS_RECORD allow partially return to the previous functionality. Anyway this almost not affects size of the application. VK
[-] TLIST_FAST fixed for case of more then 32768 items. VK
[+] MCK: TKOLForm property FormCompact added. It generates form creation code by another way, which can produce smaller code in case of very big number of controls on the form. VK
