Properties:
Events:
Added a new utility called RegisterAssistant, for easier enabling/disabling the installed AntView controls on a developer's machine.
Fixes:
Hidden the following events: OnClick, OnDblClick, OnMouseEnter, OnMouseLeave and OnKeyPress as WebView2 does not expose any of those and AntView should not expose what isn't there.
Help:
The AntView 2.0 online help moved to a new location, it can be found at: https://doc.antwise.com/antview2/
The help now also has a "What's New in version x" section, so that it is easier to find out what changed.
Installer:
As Microsoft has plans to remove WordPad from Windows, we can no longer assume that Windows is able to open the readme.rtf file immediately after install. Instead of having to depend on being able to open a rtf file, we now open a page on our website via the default browser.
Please note that we do not pass any data on opening that page.
Demo:
The exchange rates demo stopped showing the fancy background image that was loaded from an external resource. This has been corrected and now loads the image from a resource we control.
The VB6 demo now has a form that shows how-to use basic authentication and there's also a form that show cases the different ways in which you can handle new window behavior and do things like open a link in another browser tabpage.
The VB6 demo has improvements on the FillForm example(s). Now a textbox is used for output, so that it is easier to directly see what the various button clicks give as a result.
The Visual FoxPro demo has been completely rewritten and contains a lot more examples on how-to use the AntView control.
There's also extra help and instructions included with the new examples that are very worthwhile to study if you are a VFP developer.
The AntView2 version of the VFP examples also include an example on how you can handle opening links in a new tab page.
