This article describes the improvements and issues that are fixed in the Azure File Sync Agent v18.1 release that is dated June 2024. Additionally, this article contains installation instructions for this release.
Note: This security update is specifically for servers that have Azure File Sync Agent version 18.0 installed. The forthcoming version 18.2, slated for release in the next few weeks, will be applicable to all prior versions of Azure File Sync agents.
You can now aggregate data by a custom unit of measurement (e.g. 15 minutes, 4 hours, etc.) You can also define a custom function that aggregates values using custom rules without modifying the source collection.
In multiple row selection mode, you can sync row selected states with a Boolean field in the bound data source. The selection binding mode ensures that row selection persists whenever you filter or group grid data.
With this release, the DevExpress WinForms ToastNotificationManager gives you the ability to create Windows 10-inspired toast notifications. You can create multiple types of toast notifications by adding the following elements to regular text and image blocks:
We've integrated the Hamburger Menu with our Accordion Control: Set the ViewType property to HamburgerMenu and the Accordion Control will support a collapsed state designed to mimic the behavior of Windows 10 apps (displays a narrow strip of icons when collapsed).
Used together with our new Fluent Design Form, the Hamburger Menu automatically adapts its state when you resize the form. It also supports Acrylic Material and Reveal Highlight effects (available on systems with Windows 10 Spring Creators Update).
WinForms Bar Manager
The designer's 'Toolbars' page allows you to manage toolbars, create different bar item types, add bar items to toolbars and populate hierarchical sub-menus. The Customization Form is now resizable, and provides on-form actions to manipulate bar items and categories.
WinForms Popup Menus
A new editor integrated into the Bar Manager/Ribbon Designer allows you to customize popup menus. The menu editor allows you to create a popup menu, populate the menu with items, and modify menu/item settings.
We have optimized our WinForms Ribbon Control. Depending upon your usage scenario, the Ribbon's startup time is up to 10% faster than previous versions. As you might expect, memory consumption has also been reduced.
We've invested significant resources to improve the manner in which our DevExpress Rich Edit control for WinForms, WPF, and our Word Processing File API renders documents. We've enhanced layout and formatting accuracy when displaying, printing and exporting documents. DPI settings are also no longer an issue.
Automatic Document Format Identification
With this release, if a document is loaded from a file or stream programmatically, the DevExpress RichEditControl automatically identifies the document's format based on its content. Documentation
With this release, the DevExpress WinForms Scheduler uses SVG icons by default. To revert to previous behavior and use raster graphics instead, disable the 'WindowsFormsSettings.AllowDefaultSvgImages' option.
The DevExpress SVG Icon Builder is a productivity tool designed to simplify the creation of custom SVG icons by combining existing graphical elements. You can install it directly from the Microsoft Windows Store.
From simple lines and rectangles, to banners and callouts, our WinForms and WPF Spreadsheet controls now support all shape types. You can move, resize and remove shapes. Worksheets with shapes can also be printed and exported to PDF. Refer to the following blog post for more information and limitations associated with this specific feature.
With this release, we've simplified formula construction. Our WinForms and WPF Spreadsheet controls now support Formula AutoComplete. This feature can help prevent spelling or syntax errors by providing a list of function names, defined names and table names that match the characters you enter into a formula.
Automatic Document Format Identification: With this release, if a document is loaded from a file without specifying its format, the Spreadsheet control automatically identifies the document's format based on its content (regardless of filename extension).
Excel-inspired filter dropdowns can now group filter items from two or more columns, and present the result as a hierarchical checked list. For instance, instead of a linear task list, you can show tasks grouped by employees:
By default, our WinForms TreeList control reserves space for both Select and State images if either are displayed within a node. With this new option, you can save space by moving Select/State images from the indent region to node cells.
By default, tree lines are displayed or hidden based upon the currently applied skin. v18.1 introduces the new 'ShowTreeLines' option allowing you to explicitly specify whether to display tree lines. If this option is enabled, you can specify node hierarchy line styles using the TreeLineStyle property.
Logify is a 24/7 application monitoring tool (helps you track errors and log app crash events). The DevExpress WinForms Team has extended our Template Gallery with a new template designed to add a Logify client to your project with one click.
A new Navigation Pane mode allows you to create an Outlook-inspired side bar panel and integrate it with our WPF Office Navigation Bar control. In this mode, the Accordion control only displays selected group content and shows other groups as buttons at the bottom.
With this release, you can limit the amount of information displayed by a chart and visualize data more effectively. You can adjust the number of points included in the Top N group. All other points will be aggregated into the "Others" group.
With this release, DevExpress WPF Data Editors that use source collections (e.g. ComboBoxEdit, LookUpEdit, ListBoxEdit), no longer process the entire source collection at startup. Data editors traverse through source items until the selected item is found. This significantly improves startup time for forms with editors bound to large source collections.
This release introduces support for virtual data sources. With these sources, our WPF Data Grid can be bound to any data source, even if the record count is unknown. The Grid control only requests top N records and allows you to implement the required data operations supported by your data source.
Data summary and conditional formatting rules are now calculated much faster. We've optimized summary recalculations by restricting recalculations to those items that have been affected by a property change.
When working with ICollectionView sources, our WPF Grid control delegates all data management operations (sorting, filtering, grouping) to ICollectionView. which imposes some limitations on core grid features.
With this release, our WPF Data Grid and TreeList controls display thick band separators. You can specify separator color and thickness. You can also specify different appearance settings for root and nested band separators.
Our WPF Data Grid and TreeList controls now offer a 'Best Fit' option for Band headers. Best Fit calculates and applies the optimal width required for a band to fully display its contents. This functionality is available for end-users and via the Grid's API.
Our WPF Data Grid and TreeList controls automatically display validation errors within data source objects that implement INotifyDataErrorInfo. Unlike IDataErrorInfo, the INotifyDataErrorInfo interface notifies bound UI controls when a validation error occurs within a data source.
This release introduces document scaling for our WPF Data Grid, TreeList, Pivot Grid and Chart controls. Scaling allows you scale down an oversized control to fit the paper's width, or scale up the control to print it across multiple sheets of paper.
With this release, the DevExpress WPF Pivot Grid uses lightweight templates for cells and headers by default. Lightweight templates simplify the Pivot Grid's visual tree, thus improving the grid's loading, scrolling, etc.
Automatic Document Format Identification
With this release, if a document is loaded from a file or stream programmatically, the DevExpress WPF RichEditControl automatically identifies the document's format based on its content. Documentation
With this release, our Office2016SE and VS2017 themes use lightweight templates to render standard WPF controls. New templates contain fewer visual elements and support appearance customization properties (BorderBrush, BorderThickness, Background, etc.)
