Yes, website is now updated as well.

I have downloaded the new release yesterday. If I try to start any sample i get the message: "can't activate". What does that mean?

WARNING! Be careful with 16.2 if you use the following properties of the ReportControl, there appears to be regressions:

PaintManager.ForceDynamicMarkupForCell = True
    Setting Metrics.Text with markup strings in BeforeDrawRow event no longer displays as markup

PaintManager.SetPreviewIndent
    Indent no longer honoured unless called *AFTER* .Populate method (used to work when called before .Populate).

PaintManager.ShadeSortColumn=False
    Sorted columns *always* shaded unless called *AFTER* .Populate method (used to work when called before .Populate).

I've opened support tickets, but I wanted to warn fellow users.

One more note: The PaintManager problems only seem to be a problem if the ReportControl.PaintManager.ColumnStyle = xtpColumnResource

Hi,

why not use the datepicker from the calendar?

Yes, it can be made to look like one - if you do the manifest bit (which I note there doesn't seem to be any significant documentation on in anything CodeJock supplies) and write a bunch of code to perform the same actions, using a combobox and a calendar date picker, that a proper control would do behind the scenes... and then there's that really annoying flash as the combo drops its list down and closes it back up again when you close the picker portion... The fact that a knowledgeable developer can hack something together that'll roughly do the job doesn't address my point, which is how come we have to jump through all these hoops in the first place? Why bother including the Suite Date Picker at all when it's actually the same thing Microsoft have been supplying for a dozen years or more? Why is this control the only one that isn't done in a modern style? We should be able to select it from the toolbox, plonk it on a form, set a couple of properties and move on, instead of hand-coding all the stuff that makes it work and mucking around with InitCommonControls and Manifest files.

Does printing a graph using the 64-bit .ocx work in 16.2?
