ImageBox and TabList update's - virtual mode, pixel grid, bug fixes and more!

Our last post before the new year and some new material is an update to the ImageBox (now at version 1.1.2.0) and TabList (at version 1.0.0.2) controls. You can grab the updated source from the links at the end of the post, or from the GitHub page.

ImageBox

Changes and new features

• Added IsPointInImage method. This function returns if a given point is within the image viewport, and is useful for combining with PointToImage.
• Added ImageBorderColor property, allowing you to customize the color of the image border
• Added a new ImageBoxBorderStyle, FixedSingleGlowShadow. This style allows for a more smoother outer glow shadow instead of the existing clunky drop shadow.
• Added ShowPixelGrid and PixelGridColor properties. When set, a dotted grid is displayed around pixels when zooming in on an image.
• Added new overload to PointToImage which allows you to specify if the function should map the given point to the nearest available edge(s) if the point is outside the image boundaries
• Added AllowDoubleClick property. When set, the normal double click events and overrides work as expected.
• Added VirtualMode and VirtualSize properties. These new properties allow you to use all functionality of the ImageBox control without having to set the Image property. You can also use the new VirtualDraw event to provide custom drawing without having to override existing drawing functionality.
• Additional documentation added via XML comments

Fixed

• If the GridDisplayMode property is set to Image an explicit image border is no longer drawn, instead the ImageBorder property is correctly honoured.
• Fixes a problem where half the pixels of the first row/column were lost when zooming. Thanks to Rotem for the fix.
• The GetImageViewport method now correctly returns a width and height that accounts for control size, padding and zoom levels.
• Fixed incorrect attributes on AutoSize property
• Fixed the image viewport sometimes being the incorrect size when zoomed in. Thanks to WMJ for the fix.
• Fixes "see also" documentation errors for events

TabList

Changes and new features

• Added ShowTabList property. When set to False, the list of tabs is no longer displayed, and navigation can only occur via code.
• Added AllowTabSelection property. When set to False, the control can no longer gain focus, mouse hover effects are not displayed, and navigation can only occur via code. This allows you to disable navigation whilst still having the tabs visible.

Fixed

• Fixed the HoverIndex property always defaulting to zero.

Happy New Year all!
