We are happy to announce that we've just released a new version

of XFRX (11.3):

New features/Updates

* XFRX Advanced Previewer

o Tabbed interface The advanced previewer can now preview

multiple documents using the popular tabbed interface

approach. o Custom event hyperlinks (drill-down)

XFRX now recognizes two types of hyperlinks:

+ “normal” hyperlinks (printed in blue), which navigate

to other places in the report or to an external web

address and

+ “custom event” hyperlinks (printed in green), where

XFRX allows for assigning a custom VFP code that will

be called when users click the hyperlink.

This “custom event” hyperlink feature can be used to invoke

application specific actions (information forms, custom

processes, etc.) or for implementing drill-down

functionality – invoking detailed report where the field

user clicked on is taken as a parameter for the report (for

example, clicking a customer name in the report listing all

customers can run a report with detail information about

this specific customer). The new report can be directed to a

new page of a multipage previewer, which could provide a

comfortable environment for “drilling down” specific

information – with the ability to go back to the original

report without closing the current one, side by side report

comparison, exporting / printing selected reports, etc.

Please find more information about this feature as well as

a step-by-step example in the Developer's guide,

"Implementing custom event hyperlinks (drilldown) in XFRX

previewer" chapter. o Fake toolbar option The previewer can

now optionally replace the default toolbar with a toolbar-

like control placed above the previewer control. This

option can be very useful if the previewer form is not

inside the main VFP screen. o New toolbar icon - "Export"

If the user clicks at the new Export icon, a dialog with

the output type and the file name selection is displayed

and the output document is generated based on options

selected. o Previewer extension handler The extension

handler allows for extending the functionality of the basic

classes without need of creating subclasses. All you need

is to create a custom class, which implements certain

methods. The custom class is registered with the XFRX

previewer class (using SetExtensionHandler method) and the

previewer calls the extension methods on appropriate

events. o The previewer instantiation is now significantly

simplified A complete standalone-window previewer is now

shipped with XFRX - all you need to do to make it work is

to instantiate a class and call one of its methods with an

XFF file to preview as a parameter. Alternatively, you can

use the prepared single document or multiple documents

(tabbed interface) controls to your forms.

Please find more information about the advanced previewer in

the Developer's guide, "XFRX previewer" chapter. o German

localization is now available

* PDF output format o Hebrew code page (cp 1254) is now supported

o Pictures are binary comparised to reduce the size of PDF

documents with repeated pictures o VFP 9: DynamicLineHeight

property is used to control if the text field background color

should fill the whole textbox (VFP 9 default behavior) or only the

actual text printed (VFP 8 backward compatibility behavior)

* General o Target image DPI can be specified (large pictures can

be downsampled to reduce the result document size) [see

PictureDPI property for XFRXListener and XFRXSession classes at

Developer's guide, "Properties and methods common in XFRXListener

and XFRXSession classes" chapter]. o Image quality can be

specified for ActiveX objects [see DefaultPictureFormat property

for XFRXListener and XFRXSession classes at Developer's guide,

"Properties and methods common in XFRXListener and XFRXSession

classes" chapter].
