Dear All
We are quite excited to announce release of version 8.3.0 with following enhancements:
Sticky headers: While scrolling the browser window, grid header remains in the browser viewport and sticks to its top edge as long as the grid body is also present in the browser viewport.
Key navigation: This version brings improvements in the key navigation w.r.t accessibility and better user experience.
Behaviour of Tab key has been improved to maintain tab order of pqgrid w.r.t other controls present in the document.
Besides 2 new options autoAddRow and autoAddCol have been added to automatically add rows and columns as the user reaches last cell of a row or column.
Until now clipboard access was limited to Ctrl -C, Ctrl -V keyboard operations for copy and paste respectively in pqgrid.
By leveraging the permissions based API available in moden browsers, system clipboard access has been extended to programmatic invocation with click of a button or context menu item.
Key press to edit: Among other bug fixes, a prominent one worth mentioning in this post is "Key Press to Edit"
It was a long pending issue pertaining to unicode based languages e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc whereby first character typed by the user on a focused cell couldn't be captured correctly.
This issue has been resolved in this version.
Extended support for Excel import/export interoperability with other libraries: Excel files saved with openxml or any library based on openxml format can be opened in Pqgrid and vice versa. This might be important who have openxml based xlsx files in the workflow.
pqSelect component: Besides checkbox and filtering enhancement, new virtual rendering feature has been added to load tens of thousands of records in pqSelect without loss of performance.
Best Regards
Paramvir
