*Added: The `format` operator of expression properties supports formatting the date values, using d, dd, ddd, ddd (day of the month as digits, with or without leading zeros, abbreviated day of the week, day of the week as specified by the current locale ), m, mm, mmm, mmmm (month as digits, with or without leading zeros, abbreviated month, month as specified by the current locale), y, yy, yyy, yyyy (year represented only by the last digits, by a full four or five digits, depending on the calendar used) literals. For instance, the "date(value) format `mmm d, yyyy`" gets the value in MMM d, YYYY format using the current locale, such as "Jan 12, 2023"
*Fixed: The AttachTemplate method fails if using "handle" keyword on x64 version

19.0.0.4 Jan 06, 2024
*Added: The Background(exScrollHoverAll/500) property specifies whether the hover-all feature is by default (0), always on (-1) or disabled(1). By default (Background(exScrollHoverAll) = 0), the left/top, right/bottom and thumb parts of the control' scrollbars are displayed in hover state while the cursor hovers any part of the scroll bar (hover-all feature). The hover-all feature is available on Windows 11 or greater, if only left/top, right/bottom, thumb, lower and upper-background parts of the scrollbar are visible, no custom visual-appearance is applied to any visible part. The hover-all feature is always on If Background(exScrollHoverAll) = -1. The Background(exScrollHoverAll) = 1 disables the hover-all feature.
*Added: Show the Left/Top or Right/Bottom buttons of the control's scrollbar on Windows 11 or greater, while the cursor hovers the scrollbar's background.
*Fixed: The scroll button's appearance is restored to normal instead of hover state when the mouse button is released

19.0.0.3 Sep 11, 2023
*Added: The ShowToolTip method can be used to update the object's tooltip, title or position. For instance, ShowToolTip(``,``,,`+8`,`+8`) during MouseMove event, shows the tooltip of the object moved relative to its default position.
*Added: The control's tooltip is shown when the cursor hovers it no matter if the window that hosts the control is activated
*Fixed: The ShowToolTip() method works improperly as it may show the tooltip to a different position

19.0.0.2 Jun 26, 2023
*Added: Update the samples to support x64 configuration (/COM version)
*Fixed: No control frame is shown in design-mode under MS Excel's spreadsheet
*Fixed: The expropertieslist/com fails if the user is trying to spy the control (x64 version only, AllowSpy property, browses the object by drag and drop)

19.0.0.1 Mar 01, 2023
*NEW:   Ability to specify the size to show the icons within the HTML captions
*Added: ImageSize property specifies the size to display the icons within the HTML captions. By default, the ImageSize property is 16. The control's Images collection is cleared if the ImageSize property is changed, so it is recommended to set the ImageSize property before calling the Images method.
*Fixed: The Data.Files(i) property returns only the first letter of the file rather than the full name of the dragged file (/COM version)

18.0.0.2 Nov 16, 2022
*Added: TemplateDef/TemplatePut property allows defining inside variables for the Template feature ( available for /COM only, and useful to assign properties with multiple parameters, which is not supported in dBASE )
*Fixed: A GPF may occur on closing the form/window/dialog if one or more events are handled by AttachTemplate method
*Fixed: Clicking (Custom) property generates "Class Not Registered" error (Windows x64, 'Looking for object with CLSID:{7EBDAAE1-8120-11CF-899F-00AA00688B10}')

18.0.0.1 Jul 27, 2022
*NEW: Z-Events support (Standard .NET event patterns)
*Added: Every event of the control (/NET assembly) provides a Z-Event alternative, of "void OnEventRaised(object sender, EventArgs args)" type. The .NET convention is for an event (Z-event) signature to have a void return and 2 parameters. The first parameter is of type System.Object and is the sender of the event. The second parameter must be of type System.EventArgs or derived from System.EventArgs and contains data passed between sender and receiver. For instance, the "DblClick(object sender, short Shift, int X, int Y)" event is equivalent to "ZDblClick(object sender, ZDblClickArgs e)", where "ZDblClickArgs" type is derived from System.EventArgs and includes definitions for Shift, X and Y properties
*Fixed: "Warning: The  event is a .NET event that does not follow the .NET convention for event signatures (OpenEdge, ABL code)". To prevent this warning, under OpenEdge environment you must use the Z-event alternatives 

17.0.0.1 Feb 28, 2022
*NEW:   Ability to browse for folders once the user double-clicks it
*Added: ThumbnailModeEnum.exThumbnailBrowseOnDblClk flag browses for a new folder once the user double clicks it. The AcceptFolders property should be exIncludeSubFoldersOnly or exIncludeAny, so folders are being shown within the control's content. For instance, the Mode = exThumbnailBrowseOnDblClk simulates an Explorer (Files and Folders browser) control. The user can browse back for the parent-folder using the Backspace key.
*Added: PowerBuilder 21.0 sample

16.0.0.3 Jan 12, 2022
*Added: The expression properties supports `bias` constant that defines the difference, in minutes, between Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and local time. For example, Middle European Time (MET, GMT+01:00) has a time zone bias of "-60" because it is one hour ahead of UTC. Pacific Standard Time (PST, GMT-08:00) has a time zone bias of "+480" because it is eight hours behind UTC. For instance, date(value - bias/24/60) converts the UTC time to local time, or date(date('now') + bias/24/60) converts the current local time to UTC time
*Added: "date(fopened - bias/24/60)" converts the UTC time to local time (last access time)
*Fixed: Special characters (é, è, à, ê, â, etc ...) are lexicographic ordered (German „umlauts“)

16.0.0.2 Dec 01, 2021
*Added: The ThumbnailSortEnum.exThumbailSortInsensitive(0x200) flag specifies whether the sort by name or file is case insensitive. For instance, Sort = exThumbailSortInsensitive Or exThumbailSortByName (0x202) sort files by name alphabetically, case insensitive
*Added: Sets or gets the control's Font property in design mode, for the /NET version
*Fixed: The BackColor/ForeColor properties of the /NET version are not copied in design mode, when the user copies the control in design-mode using CTRL + C (copy) and CTRL + V (paste) combination

*Added: ExThumbnail.pdf (include the control's documentation in PDF format)
*Added: The Images method supports the Microsoft ImageList ( mscomctl.ocx, MSComctlLib.ImageList type) object directly. Shortly, you can define the control's images by calling Images(ImageList1.Object). The ImageList1.Object returns the object of MSComctlLib.ImageList type. The Microsoft ImageList object is available for /COM on x86 and x64 machines (starting from Access 2016)
*Fixed: The BackColor/ForeColor properties of the /NET version are not serialized once the user changes in design mode (the control's background/foreground is set to the default value once the form is started)

15.0.0.4 Sep 06, 2021
*Added: "fcreated_local", "fopened_local", "fmodified_local" keyword returns the local date-time, the file or directory was created, modified or accessed. The "fcreated", "fopened", "fmodified" keyword returns the UTC date-time, the file or directory was created, modified or accessed (Universal Time Coordinated)
*Added: The Created, Modified and Last Opened date-time of the file or folder for SingleCaption or ToolTipText property are shown as local time rather than UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)

15.0.0.2 Apr 05, 2021
*Fixed: The scroll bar's thumb minimum-size is equivalent with the size of the size of scroll's buttons. In other words, the size of the scroll's buttons specify the thumb minimum-size. Previously, the thumb's minimum-size was 6-pixels.
*Fixed: Any expression that includes the "in" operator fails.
*Fixed: FormatAnchor(False) = vbNullString fails (vbNullString is a special VB constant that denotes a null string. The "" literal is an empty string)

15.0.0.1 Feb 17, 2021
*NEW:   Multiple selection support
*Added: SingleSel property specifies whether the control supports single or multiple-selection. By default, the SingleSel property is true, which indicates that only one thumbnail can be selected at any time. If SingleSel property is False, the user can select mutliple-thumbnail(s) using the CTRL key.
*Added: The Select property of the control gets/sets all selected thumbnail(s) separated by "\r\n" (vbCrLf) sequence, while SingleSel property is False.

*Added: concat keyword (available for properties that support expressions), as a concat b concatenates the a (as string) for b times. For instance, "x" concat 5, generates the string "xxxxx"

14.0.0.1 Nov 12, 2020
*NEW:   Ability to executes x-script code ( including events ), from a string, file or a safe array of bytes. This feature allows you to load the control's visual appearance and behavior, without having to write any line of code. The x-script code can save EBNs, icons, pictures into BASE64 encoded strings, and so everything can be put into a single file, that should be invoked by AttachTemplate method. This feature allows you to run any x-script code for any configuration of the component (/COM, /NET or /WPF). 
*Added: AttachTemplate method executes the giving x-script code, and attach events if found. The x-script code can contain handle keyword that defines a handler for the specified event. For instance, the AttachTemplate("handle Click() { print(Version) }") sends the control's Version property to the debugger for display. All you need is to open the DebugView tool, and click the control.
*Added: The control's Template page supports AttachTemplate so you can assign x-script code ( including events )  in design mode, and so the control's visual appearance and behavior is changed once the control is created at runtime (/COM version only). 
*Fixed: Sometimes, the user can't scroll to the last item, if the last scrollable item is partially visible.

*Added: Miscellaneous changes for control's scrollbar-extension such as: contiguously scrolls the control's content line by line, or page by page ( if CTRL is pressed ) while the user keeps clicking the up/left top/right side of the thumb-extension, closes the scrollbar-extension as soon as the user presses ALT + F4, ALT + TAB, shows the scrollbar-extension only if effective mouse movement occurs, hides the scrollbar-extension as soon as the owner control loses the focus
*Fixed: Sometimes, no thumbnail-icon is provided for EXE files.

13.1.0.2 May 27, 2020
*Added: /WPF Assembly
*Added: The ExtractMethod property specifies the order and the methods the control uses to extract the thumbnails. By default, the ExtractMethod property is "ThumbnailCache,ThumbnailProvider,ExtractImage". This method allows you to choose between quality of the thumbnails vs speed.

In this case, the user can click the filter bar's close button, and the filter bar is removed from the control. In case the exFilterBarToggle flag is not specified, the control clears the control's filter once the user clicks the filter bar's close button. The exFilterBarShowCloseIfRequired is valid if used with exFilterBarVisible flag only, and it specifies that the close button is visible while there is a filter applied only. The exFilterBarShowCloseOnRight flag indicates whether the filter bar's close button should be displayed on the right side.
