GacUI 1.3.0.0

GacUI / C++ Interoperable Script Engine (Apache License 2.0 with extra conditions)

Website for this project: https://vczh-libraries.github.io/ -> http://www.gaclib.net/

This repository contains the latest release for the GacUI project, including packed library source codes, development tools, demos and documents. Complete source code can be accessed in https://github.com/vczh-libraries .

Prompts and necessary supporting files in .github folder will be iterating on each release.

Version

This version is a sub release towards GacUI 2.0.
Please check out 1.0-rc-3 for GacUI 1.0.

Fixed

• DocumentModel::SaveToXml double space characters.
• IGuiGraphicsParagraph rendering and caret calculation bugs on GDI.
• FakeDialogServiceBase renders and selects wront files if filter applied.

Breaking Changes

• Delete GuiSinglelineTextBox and GuiMultilineTextBox.
  • A new GuiSinglelineTextBox will be created, inheriting from GuiDocumentLabel.
  • A new GuiMultilineTextBox will be created, inheriting from GuiDocumentViewer.

New Features

• Prepared github copilot compatible prompt files
  • With knowledge base for this library
• Vlpp UnitTest supports /F:wildcard
• GuiDocumentCommonInterface sub classes accept GuiDocumentConfig to control document editing and rendering behavior.
• GuiDocumentCommonInterface offer ConvertToPlainText and LoadTextAndClearUndoRedo/LoadDocumentAndClearUndoRedo
• Add PasswordChar to GuiDocumentCommonInterface, set to \0 to disable.

Known Issues

• GuiDocumentViewer
  • Loading super large text into one single paragraph (~0.2M lines) too slow
    • Workaround: Change paragraph mode to multiline.
  • Demo: https://github.com/vczh-libraries/GacUI/blob/master/Test/Resources/UnitTestSnapshots/Controls/Ribbon/ GuiRibbonButtons/Dropdowns.json
  • Paragraph mode plus doubleLineBreaksBetweenParagraph==true plus no empty line causing the whole text loaded into one single IGuiGraphicsParagraph.
  • This is the default configuration for GuiDocumentViewer and GuiDocumentLabel, it could be changed with the Behavior property in XML.
  • Root cause in IDWriteTextLayout::GetMetrics, taking most of the time.
  • When loading super big content to the control while you don't need user to undo to the previous state:
    • To load such text into GuiMultilineTextBox uses LoadTextAndClearUndoRedo.
    • To load prepared large document into GuiDocumentViewer uses LoadDocumentAndClearUndoRedo.
    • Future editing still work with undo.
• GacUI_Controls/GlobalHotKey tutorial: pressing hot key doesn't work.
• GacUI_Controls/ProgressAndAsync tutorial: doesn't scroll to the top after downloading.
