You can now customize our DataGrid/TreeList Toolbar on-the-fly:
We added a new toolbar property that allows you to customize toolbar items in much the same way as a standalone Toolbar. Each DataGrid/TreeList Toolbar item can be specified as an object with the same structure as a standalone Toolbar. In addition, you can specify an item using a predefined string name from the list of built-in DataGrid/TreeList commands (such as 'addRowButton', 'applyFilterButton','columnChooserButton', 'exportButton', 'groupPanel', 'revertButton', 'saveButton', 'searchPanel').
You can now disable certain command buttons for specific rows using the new disabled column button's property.
Our navigateToRow method now returns a Promise object. You can now be notified when a background operation has finished.
We reworked our DataGrid/TreeList's Virtual Scrolling engine and introduced the following enhancements:
We reduced false-positive matches when users search for numbers within the DataGrid's Search Panel. Our DataGrid now matches search string with both original and formatted cell values, respecting column formatting.
For instance, if your numeric column uses a $#.# format and a cell displays '$12,000.1', you can locate the record by either '12000.1' or '$12,000.1'. Conversely, '12000.1m' doesn't match a '12000.1' number cell value as it did previously.
The following image illustrates the difference between our previous/current implementation.
You can now specify where to insert a new row when using insertBeforeKey or insertAfterKey properties. Both properties accept a key for the row before/after which to insert the new row. For popular use cases, we added a newRowPosition property with a set of shortcut values:
This update includes the following table-related features:
tag) within a table cell.
Our HTML/Markdown Editor includes a new allowSoftLineBreak configuration option. When enabled, users can break text within a single block element into multiple lines (via the <br> tag using the new Shift+Enter keyboard shortcut). This feature allows you to break a list item (<li>) into multiple lines or add multiline cells.
We improved touch screen support in Chromium-based browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera).
You can now specify the visible data range using the startDateRange and endDateRange properties.
You can now sort tasks by one or more columns. Use our new sorting option to configure corresponding UI elements and their behavior.
You can now export Gantt data to PDF. Export options allow you to set document size and page orientation; limit data export to a specific date range; specify whether to export only chart area, tree list area, or the entire Gantt component.
Our Gantt control now supports filtering. End-users can filter tasks using the header filter or filter row. To filter tasks in code, use the following API:
Task-related (expand/collapse) API enhancements include:
Gantt control API enhancements include:
Our File Manager ships with the following new API:
CheckBox enhancements include the following:
The new selectAllText property allows you to specify custom text displayed within the "Select All" switch in our List and TagBox components.
Text input/placeholders now support the use of floating labels (conforms to Google's Material Design guidelines) so you can eliminate field labels from all your forms.
PivotGrid - Export Merged Cells to Excel
Our new MergeColumnFieldValues and MergeRowFieldValues properties allow you to disable/enable cell merge while exporting.
TreeView
The DevExtreme TreeView widget ships with native scrolling support. Call the UseNativeScrolling property to 'true' to enable this feature.
ScrollView - RTL Support
ScrollView fully supports RTL rendering mode.
Button Group - New Selection Mode
Our ButtonGroup ships with a new selection mode - 'none'. In this mode, group buttons are not selected on click.
We applied changes to our product libraries to mirror some of Google’s most recent Material Design Guidelines. For instance, Google deprecated the ‘underlined’ styling mode for inputs and elected to use ‘filled’ mode by default. We preserved both modes and you can switch back to the previous display style when necessary.
