Breaking Changes

V80.## (2023-11-14 - Build 2311 - November 2023)

There are list of changes that have occurred during the development of the V80.## version

Support for .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5

As of V80.##, support for .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5 has been removed due to their release cadences. It is strongly advised that you migrate your application to .NET 8, as the latest LTS version, or the slightly older .NET 6, if you require a more supported version. If you do not make these mitigations, the packages will fail to install when upgrading, if your project is configured to use either .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5.

KryptonMessageBoxButtons

• #728: Bring MessageBox States inline with latest .Net 6 by using a new KryptonMessageBoxButtons type, which is effectively the same as .NET 6 enum version of MessageBoxButtons but backward compatible with .NET Framework 4.6.x onwards.

Palette usages

• KryptonPalette has become KryptonCustomPaletteBase to better signify it's usage.
• IPalette has been removed, and the usage of PaletteBase throughout the toolkit is used; to ensure consistent usage.

Depreciation of KryptonManager.Strings

In a effort to support translations, KryptonManager.Strings is now obsolete. As such, the new KryptonLanguageManager will handle such strings.

V70.## (2022-11-08 - Build 2211 - November 2022)

There are list of changes that have occurred during the development of the V70.## version

Ribbon Tooltips

• #382
• #511 ### Ribbon Tooltips

dpiAware

If you are getting scaling problems in high dpi monitors, then please add an application manifest to your MainForm application, and uncomment the section that covers the dpiAware setting.

KryptonTaskDialog

As of v70.xx, the KryptonTaskDialog now uses the built-in KryptonMessageBoxIcon instead of the standard System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon. This will cause errors within your project. To resolve, simply replace MessageBoxIcon with the KryptonMessageBoxIcon equivalent.

KryptonPalette

Both Font1 & Font2 have been removed from Cargo, as they were not used.

KryptonMessageBox

The standard MessageBoxIcon option has been removed in favour of the built-in KryptonMessageBoxIcon. In addition, the MessageBoxDefaultButton has also been removed in favour of the built-in KryptonMessageBoxDefaultButton.

Strong Named Assemblies

After updating to v70, you may need to sign your assemblies for a successful build. To find out how to do this, click here.

Management of using Statements

As of version 60, all using statements are contained in one file per project unless otherwise. For details, please read this article.

=======

Known Issues & Workarounds

• #1109 - KryptonPropertyGrid 'jagged' text

  • Some controls can display Jagged text when drawing. (i.e. ComboBox contents / PropertyGrid / Extended controls ) This is due to the usage of the Legacy API Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault having a value of true. Please set it to false.

• #665 - Workaround add net48 or net481 to your <TargetFrameworks> if using .NET 6 or 7

• .NET 6/7 Designer issues - If you are experiencing designer issues with your project, please refer to this for more information

• URGENT: If anyone experiences "Double events" such as the one found here, please can you report it ASAP, so that they can be investigated. Thanks!

Introduction

The Krypton Suite contains user interface components designed to make it quick and easy for developers to create professional looking applications. It provides the essential building blocks needed to create a consistent look and feel across all your products. You can use the built-in palettes to achieve the same appearance as industry standard applications such as Microsoft Office 2007/2010/2013 & Microsoft 365, Visual Studio 2010. Alternatively you can create your own custom palettes to create a completely unique user interface. The Krypton Suite consists of five products called Krypton Toolkit, Krypton Ribbon, Krypton Navigator, Krypton Workspace and Krypton Docking.

What is this Repository About?

• Modifications by Peter Wagner (aka Wagnerp) & Simon Coghlan (aka Smurf-IV) have been fixing and adding more capabilities to this toolkit.
• There is also an Extensions project, which takes these base controls and add more useful complete controls (Currently outside the scope of this help). To find out more, please head to this link
• All .Net Versions from 4.6.2 are catered for (interim releases, i.e. releases in-between Long Term Support (LTS) versions of .NET will only be supported for the duration of that particular version, usually 24 months.)
• New versions of NuGet packages can be obtained via this link, or via your package manager by searching Krypton..
• New, major versions are released annually, with patches if needed released throughout that period. Version 80 is expected to release in November 2023.
• For tips on how to build the toolkit for yourself, please read the following article.

Individual Components

Krypton Toolkit

The Krypton Toolkit provides a set of basic user interface components for free. You can distribute the signed Krypton Toolkit assembly without charge or royalty with your own products. The Krypton Toolkit is great resource for speeding up development of professional looking applications. It works in tandem with the MenuStrip, StatusStrip and ToolStrip controls that come with .NET Framework controls. Using the Krypton Toolkit you can create a great looking application in just minutes.

Krypton Ribbon

The Krypton Ribbon is designed to mimic the look, feel and operation of the ribbon control seen in the Microsoft Office 2007/2010/2013/365 applications such as Word and Excel. It provides advanced capabilities including the quick access toolbar, contextual tabs and auto shrinking groups. With rich design time support and sample code you can be up and running with the ribbon in no time at all. It integrates with the Krypton Toolkit architecture to ensure a consistent look and feel.

Krypton Navigator

The Krypton Navigator is a user interface control that provides the user with a variety of ways to navigate around a set of pages. Think of it as a traditional TabControl on steroids. It has many different modes of operation allowing you to achieve exactly the right operation for your application. It integrates with the Krypton Toolkit architecture to ensure a consistent look and feel.

Krypton Workspace

The Krypton Workspace allows a document area to be created that the user can customise by dragging and dropping pages into new positions. Similar to the Visual Studio document area but with far greater flexibility and functionality. Each cell within the workspace uses an instance of the Krypton Navigator allowing a wide range of options for organising and displaying pages. It integrates with the Krypton Toolkit architecture to ensure a consistent look and feel.

Krypton Docking

The Krypton Docking set of components allow the user to drag and drop docking pages into new locations in order to customise the organisation of the application content. It allows this in a way similar to that of Visual Studio 2008/2010. Each docking area uses an instance of the Krypton Workspace allowing a wide range of options for organising and displaying pages. It integrates with the Krypton Toolkit architecture to ensure a consistent look and feel.

[BUG]: KryptonDataGridViewComboBoxCell does not contain property for Items

KryptonDataGridViewComboBoxCell does not contain property for Items

[Bug]: KryptonNumericUpDown loses selection (visually) each time the control is painted

Describe the bug
Whenever the control is painted (i.e., when it receives a WM_PAINT message), the text selection gets lost (visually). Meaning that it's still selected but the selection isn't visible.

To Reproduce

1. Type something into a KryptonNumericUpDown control.
2. Select the text.
3. Do something that would cause the control to be repainted (e.g., move the cursor outside the control, minimize and restore the window, etc.)
4. See how the selection becomes invisible.

Expected behavior
The selection should remain visible as long as the control has focus.

Screenshots

Desktop:

• OS: Windows 10
• Build: 2004.

Additional context
Okay, this is actually very related to #37. Let me elaborate...

At some point (when the TextAlign property was made hidden and TextH was added), the following part of the code in WndProc of the SubclassEdit class (handling the WM_PAINT message) was commented out and a comment was added:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Following removed to allow the Draw to always happen, to allow centering etc  
//// If enabled then let the combo draw the text area
//if (NumericUpDown.Enabled)
//{
//    // Let base implementation draw the actual text area
//    if (m.WParam == IntPtr.Zero)
//    {
//        m.WParam = hdc;
//        DefWndProc(ref m);
//        m.WParam = IntPtr.Zero;
//    }
//    else
//    {
//        DefWndProc(ref m);
//    }
//}
//else

My guess (and based on the comment above) is that it was commented out because it caused the TextH property not to take effect. However, I believe this has two problems:

1. It introduced this bug because custom-drawing the text doesn't take the selection into account, rendering it invisible.
2. It was the wrong fix, IMO. What should be done instead is what's suggested in #37, that is, either update the TextAlign property when TextH is changed or unhide TextAlign and encourage using it instead. Note that that's how KryptonTextBox works currently and its TextH doesn't even work. So, the easy fix would be to revert back to TextAlign and get rid of TextH if there are no plans to implement its logic properly (I'm not really sure it's even useful, to be honest).

TL;DR: if #37 gets fixed (using either of the suggested solutions), I believe the code above can be safely uncommented and it would fix this selection bug.

[Bug]: KryptonNumericUpDown.TextAlign doesn't work properly

Describe the bug
The alignment of the KryptonNumericUpDown's text doesn't work properly when the text is being edited. as shown in the gif below.

To Reproduce
As demonstrated below:

1. Add a KryptonNumericUpDown control (its text alignment should be Center by default).
2. Move the focus in and out of the control and/or start typing.

Expected behavior
The text alignment should be the same whether or not the text is being edited.

Screenshots

Desktop:

• OS: Windows 10
• Build: 2004.

Additional context
The issue happens when the TextAlign property of the internal _numericUpDown WinForms control doesn't match the text alignment set for the Krypton NUP control. This happens in two cases:

1. By default, the alignment is set to Center but _numericUpDown.TextAlign is Left. This is probably caused by the following point anyway.
2. When the .Content.TextH of a state (e.g., StateCommon) is changed, it doesn't affect the TextAlign property.

I noticed that the TextAlign property does set the _numericUpDown.TextAlign property accordingly. But since the former has a [Browsable(false)] attribute, I'm assuming it's not to be used, in favor of the TextH property (which fails to update the _numericUpDown.TextAlign property).

So, the fix should be either to update _numericUpDown.TextAlign each time TextH is changed or if TextAlign is what should be used (I doubt it), make it visible and hide TextH instead.

[Question]: Is it possible to only minimize FloatingWindow in DockingManager?

From @NintendoPlayer

Hi!

I'm experimenting with the Docking controls. I'm integrating the use of dual window in my application. The DockingManager is pretty useful with the AddFloatingWindow and AddToNavigator methods. The only drawback or benefit is that the floating window minimizes and restores to full screen with the main window.

Adding a minimize button to the floating window is plain, but it does nothing. Could it be possible to control the minimize behaviour of the floating window and chose to make it independent?

Thanks!

[New Feature Request]: Customise 'Hint' Font

Have a independent typeface for hints i.e. textbox

[Other Issues]: Substantial performance issue with AutoSize=true KryptonButtons

Issue Description

The Krypton rendering system seems to be engaging in numerous extremely expensive and unnecessary calculations when rendering buttons that have AutoSize=true. I assume, but not have confirmed, that this is not restricted to buttons but to any control with AutoSize enabled. So this could be a potentially severe performance issue in any project with numerous autosizing Krypton controls.

Issue Demonstration

To replicate this issue simply add a number of KryptonButtons with AutoSize=true to any project. Either place them manually or use something like a FlowLayoutPanel. As you add more you'll notice performance begin to dramatically degrade, even with as few as tens of buttons.

This is most visible when scrolling over the buttons which, on my setup, maxes out CPU usage for the core the UI is running on. The mouse over visual effects will consequently end up lagging substantially. Turn off AutoSize and this issue goes away.

Discussion

This issue is not present when using native buttons and is also not being caused by the normal increase in rendering loading the Krypton entails. Somehow AutoSize is resulting in substantial and very expensive calculations even in places where there's no need for such.

I think this issue is very important, but I unfortunately do not have the time to try to solve this one as I lack experience with Krypton's underlying rendering system and I suspect this issue may not be the most straight forward to resolve.

[Bug]: KryptonNumericUpDown loses selection on mouse enter/leave

Describe the bug
Whenever the mouse enters or leaves the KryptonNumericUpDown control, the selection is cleared.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a KryptonNumericUpDown control and type something into it.
2. Select the text.
3. Move the mouse cursor over and outside the control and notice the selection being cleared.

Expected behavior
The selection should remain the same when the mouse moves.

Screenshots

Desktop:

• OS: Windows 10
• Build: 2004.

Additional context
Looking at the source, I found out that both OnMouseEnter and OnMouseLeave methods call a private method called InvalidateChildren. That method triggers a redraw of the control (by invoking PI.RedrawWindow(...)) which causes the selection to be lost. I'm not sure if invoking RedrawWindow() is needed in OnMouseEnter or OnMouseLeave to begin with (I didn't dig deeper). If it is needed, then the selection probably needs to be maintained somehow.

While testing this, you might also notice another bug (i.e., #37) which I just reported. I was initially going to report them as one issue but decided not to because they're two separate problems.

Thank you so much for your great work :)

If you have a windows form derived from KryptonForm and the MinimizeBox and ShowInTaskBar properties are set to false on the Form (in designer), then the minimize button is not disabled. It is not possible to click on it, but I expect it to be disabled as well (greyed out).

If you from the normal .NET Form class instead, it is working as expected.

[Question]: Any plans for strongly named assembly in NuGet?

Hi team,

I used the older framework which is now deprecated, I tried upgrading to this version, however one of my project is signed. I cannot remove the signing and because of that, I am getting the following error when I run the project:

'Could not load file or assembly 'Krypton.Toolkit, Version=5.550.2011.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. A strongly-named assembly is required. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131044)'

I also tried to uncheck the singing and check if its working, it works however, the project uses isolated storage, when we uncheck the signing, the isolated storage gets cleared which is not the correct way to handle it,

Can you please provide us with a strongly named assembly in nuget so that the people who were using it wont face this issue too?

Thanks.
