Hi,

is it possible to add a new section in the CodeJock-Release notes for changes which could potentially break existing app which works with older versions of the library?

For example:

in the current beta you changed one virtual function in CXTPReportControl:

the old version:

virtual void OnBeginDrag(CPoint point);

the new version:

virtual void OnBeginDrag(CPoint point, UINT nFlags);

This will break existing app if they override this function. The developer will not get any warning or error since everything compiles fine, but the app will NOT work as expected since this small change. So it would be a great help to have a section with changes like this one.

Hi,
You are right, we do try to keep the toolkit backwards compatible. Thank you for this catch. This will be included with 14.0

Please try this and see if it works as expected. We made quit a few additions to OnBeginDrag.

//Add to XTPReportcontrol.cpp

void CXTPReportControl::OnBeginDrag(CPoint point)
{
OnBeginDrag(point, 0);
}

//Add to XTPReportControl.h

virtual void OnBeginDrag(CPoint point);

I have to note that Drag&Drop support of the report control changed in other parts in a tremedous way - compared to version 12.1.1!
I opened an issue 3 days ago and requested a 'what has changed and breaks code' documentation, but I got no response until now!
At the moment I ask myself, what's codejocks bug tracker for...
