Version 4.0 (WinX)

4.0.? on 2021-??-?? DevOps

• The app's default profile is now only generated during app startup when no other profiles are detected.
• Added a button in the developer mode to unpack and get all default XAML resources.
• Some security related improvements.
  • The app now informs the web service to terminate the user session upon logout or app closing.
  • The app no longer allows self signed server certificates.
• Moved some properties from GlobalStatusBarViewModel to AppStatusViewModel.

Since there has been a major UI redesign in this version, quite a lot of changes in XAML code (especially bindings) are involved. We have striven to maintain backward compatibility, but some changes either are simply unavoidable or their long term benefits outweigh the efforts required this one time.

Converters

• PropertyItemToValueConverter is removed since it was not used at all. (This should not be used in any XAML customizings, If it is, please consider using alternatives or contact us.)

UBIKChildPageAction

• The Visibility of <AppBarButton x:Name="SaveButton" ... /> now adjusts according to setting "Content -> enable auto save mode". Nothing will be broken if your existing XAMLs are not updated. However, the saving behavior might not match what's described in Content -> AutoSaveMode.

UBIKPropertyArea/UBIKContentArea

• The ItemsSource and property count now use the result of an EvalExpression. Mass editing will no longer work or the count will be incorrect if not updated;
• Changed from "Properties.Items" to "Properties.VisibleItems" in bindings because Items/AllItems now also include those system/invisible ones that users are not supposed to see.

UBIKPropertyItem/UBIKPriorityPropertyItem

• PriorityPropertyClickedCommand/PriorityPropertyRightClickedCommand are deleted since they are the same as PropertyClickedCommand/PropertyRightClickedCommand. You should use the latter instead;
• Removed "Content.", "OwnerModel." from bindings.

UBIKGlobalStatusBar

• The Visibility of <ProgressBar x:Name="ProgressIndicator"...> adjusts from "{Binding ProgressIndicator, Converter=...}" to "{Binding AppStatus.ProgressIndicator, Converter=...}"
• The Visibility of <Grid x:Name= "ActionPanel" .../> now adjusts from "{Binding LoginState, Converter=...}" to "{Binding AppStatus.LoginState, Converter=...}"
• All Visibilities for and inside "TextBlock" adjust from "{Binding WritingToDB, Converter=....]" to "{Binding AppStatus.WritingToDB, Converter=...}"

Editor related templates

The changes are quite extensive and, therefore, we recommended you taking the default templates from the app and re-customize them from there.

First of all for UBIKEditDateTime, UBIKEditDouble, UBIKEditInt, UBIKEditGuid, UBIKEditChart, UBIKEditGeo, UBIKEditBool, UBIKEditString.

• Changed from "EditDialogViewModel.PropertyItem" to "PropertyViewModel" in bindings;
• Changed from "EditDialogViewModel" to "PropertyViewModel" in bindings;
• Changed from "EditDialogViewModel.DeletePressedCommand" to "PropertyViewModel.DeleteValueCommand" in a binding; (UBIKEditGuid)
• Prefixed "EditDialogViewModel" with "PropertyViewModel." in the binding of <Button x:Name="TeachInButton" />; (UBIKEditGeo)
• UBIKEditString was renamed from UBIKEdit.

Then for UBIKEditDialogButtons, UBIKEditDialogHeader, UBIKEditDialogNACheck.

• Changed from "PropertyItem.Content.DisplayStrings" to "PropertyViewModel.OwnerObject.DisplayStrings" in bindings; (UBIKEditDialogHeader)
• Changed from "PropertyItem" to "PropertyViewModel" in bindings;
• Prefixed bindings "EnableNAOption", "NotApplicable", "ValueDefinitions", "ValueDefinition", "EnableMultiValueEditing" & "CanExecuteConfirmEditCommand" with "PropertyViewModel.".
