Auto-Height of Time Cells
With this release, ASPxScheduler allows you to automatically modify time cell height in Week, Month and Timeline views (via a specific option). You can now specify whether time cell height is to remain unchanged (even if the number of appointments contained in time cells changes), or shrunk/stretched to fit contents when necessary (e.g., to show as many appointments as possible at the same time).
The ASP.NET Theme Builder is a standalone tool designed to help developers create new themes based on shipping DevExpress ASP.NET Themes. The primary objective of the product is to simplify the otherwise cumbersome aspects associated with Theme customization. The ASP.NET Theme Builder provides numerous options to navigate through Theme elements - be it locating a visual element with one click, browsing the element trees of individual controls and exploring hierarchies of the CSS classes used to render a given control.
The DevExpress ASP.NET Theme Builder allows you to:
-
Create new or modify previously generated Themes.
-
Select individual controls and their elements using the Control Navigator (left most pane).
-
Activate/Disable selection mode above the Preview pane. If active, you can select control elements within the preview, much like FireBug.
-
View the CSS rules used for rendering the selected control element. You can edit them as text or use the controls below the Preview pane.
-
Edit the skin file for the selected control by using the Skin pane.
-
Modify images (for CSS and skins) using an external editor which can be specified via the Theme Builder's Options page.
-
Save modified Themes in a desired folder.
-
Change Theme properties (name, control set) using the Theme Properties form.
-
Build a custom Theme assembly and use it in your web project.
In this release, we ship four new demos illustrating how DevExpress web controls can be integrated together to deliver real life solutions.
