2010 v1 - January 2010
  • Xceed DataGrid for WPF Professional Edition v3.6 features print preview capabilities (generated in the background). Multi-selection now works data virtualization. It also features a vibrant new Windows 7 theme and the theme used in Xceed Live Explorer. A new group navigation control in the TableflowTM view greatly increases the datagrid’s usability. HP’s QuickTest Professional (QTP) is now supported, allowing for automated UI testing. Scrolling speed has been improved when dealing with non-virtualized data sources (100,000 rows and up). Cells can now be selected (single, multiple, and extended modes), in addition to the standard row selection. As a result, end-users can select and copy blocks of cells like in Excel. Various cursors in different views—such as "busy", "resize", and "drag" cursors—can be customized. Finally, there have been several bug fixes.
