Meet a new update for our iGrid ActiveX control. It fixes bugs that mainly relate to keyboard operations and combo box cells. The fixes are made in both Classic Edition and Modern Edition of the control for 32/64 bits.

Many of these improvements are built on new features in recent updates to twinBASIC, the new development environment we use to compile the Modern Edition of iGrid. Notably, the introduction of the PreKeyDown and PreKeyUp events has streamlined iGrid's internal architecture, enhancing its robustness and independence from the hosting platform.

As always, all changes to iGrid control are listed in the What's New document. We also highly recommend to familiarize yourself with the new features twinBASIC provides compared to classic VB6 and VBA. This power is already being used in iGrid and may eventually come in handy for your application development as well.

The second update for the WinForms grid control includes enhancements aimed at improving resource usage. This update also addresses bugs identified since the previous update.

The product documentation has been amended. Enhanced documentation pages include the description of the column auto width features of iGrid.NET, detailing the ability to automatically adjust column widths to fit cells in normal columns and row text cells.

For more information, refer to the comprehensive What's New document. And don't forget that the documentation for iGrid.NET is available as standalone downloads - the manual as a PDF document and the full help file in the MSHC format available for viewing in our portable Help Viewer tool:

10Tec is excited to announce the successful completion of its merger with AlterNET Software, an Australian company known for developing cutting-edge software components and tools. The partnership between 10Tec and AlterNET dates back several years, with 10Tec already incorporating AlterNET components into its products. For example, the AlterNET Code Editor is a key control used in the DocMounter utility for documenting .NET assemblies.

The merger process, which began in 2024, has now been finalized. Moving forward, both companies will leverage their combined experience to enhance existing products and create new ones.

The rights to 10Tec products are now owned by AlterNET, which is also responsible for selling them. 10Tec's current product line will continue to evolve as planned, maintaining the same high quality of implementation and support service.
