Change 18854: InvokeTask API simplification of the Dataset parameters in the invoked Task method.
Change 18850: WidgetHelper:SetFrameBackgroundColor: Additional parameter plColorLiterals to force setting the BG color of LITERAL and FILL-IN VIEW-AS TEXT widets to the Frame's BG color
Change 18845: UltraToolbarsHelper:CreateTextBoxToolFromFillIn
Change 18844: WidgetHelper:FindChildWidgetByScreenValueAndType

Change 18771: New method BindingSourceHelper:GetTableSchema
Change 18770: New Method BufferHelper:TotalNumberOfFields
Change 18754: SmartWindowForm ActiveSmartControlChanged Event and ActiveSmartControl property: Simplified way to activate and deactivate TableIO and Navigation links in a Form in cases when a SmartToolbarController is linked to more than a single Navigation and TableIO Target. In these cases the SmartWindowForm will just have to override the OnActiveSmartControlChanged method and execute THIS-OBJECT:ActivateLinks (THIS-OBJECT:ActiveSmartControl) .
Change 18748: New property PromptForSaveValuesOnRowDeactivate on the SmartUpdatableBrowser:
The NEW BPMAdapterProxy () will only be executed when there is no IBPMAdapterProxy instance in the ServiceContainer yet.
Change 18743: IServiceContainer:AddService now returns the service object back (for fluent style coding)
Change 18739: Windows 7 Taskbar Icon for Business Entity Designer, Tester and CustomerExplorer Demo
Change 18729: DataAccess: BeforeSavingRowChanges and AfterSavingRowChanges events as additional validation hooks in the DataAccess class
Change 18725: Ability to invoke Debugger from the NotifyIcon

Change 18692: SmartViewerControl: DeactivateEventHandler now checks for the validity for the containing Form before unsubscribing from events.
Change 18688: Fixed sorting on SmartDataBrowser ColumnClick in SmartTempTableAdapter
Change 18687: Reference ISmartDataSource Interface in ExternalDataSource property by USING Statement
Change 18677: InvokeTask API in ServiceAdapter/ServiceInterface
Change 18673:
Type-check for Controls out of the ControlsCollection and also casting a Control to System.Windows.Forms.Control is not nessesary
IF NOT RecurseCheckIsOkToClose (poControls:Item[i]:Controls,
Change 18672: UltraToolbarsHelper: BeginUpdate and EndUpdate around RefreshTools
Change 18671: Fixed DatasetControllerTemplate
Change 18662: AETF 1.0.6 - OpenEdge SDK integrated from PSDN
Change 18658: SmartBusinessEntityAdapter: New AutoCommit property and ISmartCommitSource/ISmartCommitTaret Interface, allow multiple updates on the client to be passed in a single request to the backend. The current implementation is kind of a preview, currently lacking the following detail functionality:
- Prompting for commit/undo/cancel when the SmartBusinessEntityAdapter is about to retrieve new data (due to a call to RetrieveData or when it's data parent has new data available) ? with the ability to block the parent data adapter from moving to that other record - Showing error messages from the backend in the context of the records that raised the errors (e.g. reposition and indicate multiple errors vs. using just a single error message dialog) - From the toolbars point of view the ability to work with more than a single SmartBusinessEntityAdapter as the ISmartCommitTarget and the ability to change the currently active one runtime
Change 18652: New method: Consultingwerk.Util.DatasetHelper:HasChanges
Change 18651: Fixed ErrorHelper for formatting structured (ADM2 style) error messages with more than a single message
Change 18645: New NotifyIcons in CustomerExplorer Sample
Change 18644: Interface IDatasetController optional thru conditional compilation, only when SmartComponent Library is available
Change 18643: Our GUI for .NET products (Dynamics4.NET, SmartComponent Library and WinKit) do typically run on Windows only. Whit this change to products.i we do activate the conditional condition only when compiling on windows. This is achieved by setting the GLOBAL-DEFINES Dynamics4NET, SmartComponentLibrary and WinKit when WINDOW-SYSTEM BEINGS MS-WIN
Change 18642: SmartUpdatableBrowser: Begin Edit mode when beginning to change the first cell in a row, not when leaving it.
Change 18635: Collection for GroupAssignTargets in SmartViewerControl
Change 18634: Ability to Query the list of the SmartDataTarget's
Change 18596: WidgetTypeEnum
Change 18573: Integrated UserControl that combines an UltraTree with search capability from Dynamics4.NET
Change 18571: New method FindAllWidgetsOfType in WidgetHelper
Change 18568: Consultingwerk/foreach.i CAST the collection {4} to IEnumerable before accessing the GetEnumerator method to allow for use with Collections that implement that method explicitly for that interface.
Change 18567: IToolImageProvider Interface to allow custom implementation of services that return the Image for the ButtonTool in WinKit
Change 18550: UltraToolbarsHelper: New standarized Routine for loading images and BuildRibbonGroupFromList, method to create a RibbonGroup basde on a list of WidgetHandles (rather than the whole frame)
Change 18549: UltraToolbarsManager:BuildRibbonGroupFromFrame now returns the reference to the RibbonGroup
Change 18548: UltraToolbarsHelper, RefreshTools: Change label only when it's not just the case that is changing, for the Ribbon we should actually never be changing the Caption of a tool
Change 18542: Implemented Sorting in the SmartBusinessEntityLookup class. Added two new properties to the SmartBusinessEntityLookup class: LookupQuerySort and LookupDialogQuerySort. The LookupDialogQuerySort property has also been added to the ISmartBusinessEntityLookupDialog interface. Custom Lookup Dialog implementations will need to add this property, otherwise they won't be able to compile.
The SmartWindowForm class now has two new properties: ExternalDataSource and PrimaryDataTarget.
The PrimaryDataTarget points to a SmartViewerControl, SmartDataBrowser or SmartDataAdapter (or derived types) inside the Form, the ExternalDataSource property can get assigned by the Form (or what so ever) has started the a new Form instance before the Form is shown. During the Load of the Form the SmartWindowForm will assign the ExternalDataSource to the SmartDataSource property of the PrimaryDataTarget:
DEFINE VARIABLE oForm AS SalesrepDetailForm NO-UNDO . oForm = NEW SalesrepDetailForm () . oForm:ExternalDataSource = smartBusinessEntityAdapter1 . WAIT-FOR oForm:ShowDialog () .
Change 18519: SmartDataTarget Design Time Interface (.NET) added
Change 18506: SmartUpdatableBrowser: When a save operation is completed, the Viewer will remain no longer in Add mode (property AddingRecord). Prior to this fix, the first record in a query would disappear when it has been edited directly after the creation and the edit is cancelled. This was because the CancelUpdate would invoke the CancelCreateRecord in the DataSource
This is the same fix as @18492 for the SmartViewerControl.
Change 18496: Centralized routine to convert Progress DATA-TYPE into Progress.Data.DataType Enum member in DataTypeHelper class.
Change 18495: Fixed typo's on the Progress Data-Types in the DatasetRelationParser
Change 18494: When the position was 0 before the delete and is 0 after the delete we have to invoke the ParentPositionChanged event in the linked SmartDataAdapter classes by using the InvokeParentPositionChanged method
Change 18492: SmartViewerControl: When a save operation is completed, the Viewer will remain no longer in Add mode (property AddingRecord).
This was because the CancelUpdate would invoke the CancelCreateRecord in the DataSource
Change 18487: The WinKit core runtime (everything exclusing the sample application and the WinKit Design tools) are now integrated into the SmartComponent Library. This is required for some of the tools in the Consultingwerk.Studio pacakge (like embedding the Progress Procedure Editor into .NET Forms).
Change 18466: ColorTableConverter
Change 18455: New method Consultinwerk.Util.QueryHelper:OpenNonMatchingQuery to open a query that returns no records (query is open but returns no matchess)
Change 18436: RaiseComponentChanged implementation (in Consultingwerk.Util.DesignerHelper). Allows to dirty (mark as save is required) a Visual Design in the OpenEdge Architect Visual Designer when a Property of a SmartComponent has changed by executing a DesignerVerb
Change 18435: Generator routine for creating customization classes for the SmartComponent Library and OERA classes
Rapid prototyping of customer derived types, see Recommended Subclassing
Change 18434: SmartDataBrowser and SmartLookup Dialogs to use ISettingsService instead of direct access to the Windows Registry
Change 18432: Consultingwerk.Framework.ISettingsService Interface for abstracting storing user settings from the actual storage. Consultingwerk.Windows.RegistrySettingsService as a default implementation reading and writing to the Registry, modified Consultingwerk.Forms.BaseForm to store the Form position and size using the ISettingsService Interface to allow alternative implementations of saving user settings without having to override the BaseForm implementation.
Change 18424: General usage of System.EventArgs:Empty instead of NEW System.EventArgs ()
Change 18422: OERA ServiceManager: When a # is used in the service name, we pass use entry (2,...., "#") as the parameter to the Constructor of the service class (e.g. BusinessEntity). When no # is used the whole service name is used for locating the class name
Change 18419: New Event AfterBatchAvailable on SmartBusinessEntityAdapter that is raised together with AfterRetrieveData as well as after fetching a new batch of records (forward or backwards)
Change 18414: Win32:PostMessage: Check for hWnd > 0 in PostMessage(A)
Change 18397: New method in ProcedureHelper: ShortDotPName: Returns the file-name of the current procedure handle without the pathname and without the extension
Change 18386: Ignore System.InvalidReferenceException from SUPER:OnFormClosed in the Consultingwerk.Forms.BaseForm override
When a Control subscribing to the FormClosed event of the containing Form (or grand-parent Form) is already disposed it looks like in 10.2B04 the AVM is causing a NullReferenceException when the .NET side of the bridge is trying to invoke the ABL event handler. It is considered save to ignore those errors during OnFormClosed in the Form base class (Progress.Windows.Form) as there is little we can do from the ABL to avoid these errors.
Change 18332: SmartDatasetChildAdapter does no longer subscribe to the DatasetControllerChanged event when running in the Visual Designer
Change 18317: SmartViewerControl now also disables Controls with SetControlEnabled (..., ControlEnabledEnum:UpdateOnly).
Change 18315: SmartViewerControl: Do not initialize the event handler in the Visual Designer. This would just have an negative impact on the loading time.
Change 18310: Comment on FormClosedHandler usage
Change 18300: BindingSourceHelper:AssignFromBindingSource
A generic routine to assign fields from a BindingSource to a buffer.
Change 18299: BindingSourceHelper:AssignFromBindingSource
System.NullReferenceException: Attempt to use an object that has been deleted.

Change 18295: New DesignerVerb to Shut down and Reload the running Business Entities
Change 18293: SmartBusinessEntityAdapter:FetchLastOnServer is now a PUBLIC method, so that it can actually be used as an alternative to RetrieveData, if a Form should be positioned on the LAST record, instead of on the first record.
Change 18291: Progress.Util.BindingSourceHelper:BindingFieldName
