Hi everyone, I am proud to announce that ForeUI V1.35 is released today!

This new version is really interesting, you will find that ForeUI can do much more things than before 🙂

Button Icon Placement

This new feature is requested by Erik, he also gave us some useful suggestions, thank you Erik!

Now we can specify how to place the button icon, like this:

Selection Changed Event

This new event is really useful, it will be triggered when selection within the element is changed, with it we can implement multiple actions for one element, according to its selected item.

Now this event is available on Menu Bar, Menu, List, Tree, Table and Tabs:

Menu Bar/Menu/List/Tree/Table/Tabs Become Interactive

This enhancement is really big and exciting.  Now these elements are not only images durring the simulation, they are interactive and you can operate on them!

These elements also support a new property to indicate which item is selected:

In order to demonstrate how can we do with these new features, I use about 10 minutes to create an interactive wireframe, which is simple but quite interesting.   The simulation effect looks like this:

If you are interested, you can run the DHTML version of this demo in your web browser, via the links below:

The plot file for this demo is also included in the install package, you can open the “interactive_selection.4ui” plot in ForeUI and see what’s inside.

This new version also fixed two bugs:

[Bug_0068]  Duplicated pages don’t copy action targets well
Reported by Cristian Prundeanu, thank you Cristian Prundeanu!

[Bug_0072]  Hand drawing theme: Image elements are always grayscale.
Reported by Jeremy, thanks for the reporting!

We’ve just released the V1.32 of ForeUI, which include some bug fixings, enhancement and customized element.

Hand Drawing Theme: Transparent background

We’ve introduced the hand drawing theme in V1.30, but the background of elements are always white in this theme.  Cristian Prundeanu suggested a solution to allow filling the background for color, so here it is.  Thank you Cristian Prundeanu 🙂

New Customized Element:  Vertical Button

This element is required by Erik, it is useful when we need a button with vertical layout.  Thank you Erik 🙂

This new version also fixed some bugs:

• Fixed Bug_0065: Transparent GIF image are not painted collectly.
• Fixed Bug_0066: The spaces at the beginning are not renderred on the plot.
• Fixed Bug_0067: The font is not exported to DHTML in V1.30
• Fixed Bug_0070: Image Export: choose existed file and change the name doesn’t make sense.
• Fixed Bug_0071: Hand drawing theme: Tabs should have different color when disabled.
