OverviewIntraWeb 7 introduces many new features, including:
Hints Improved In IW 7, it is no longer necessary to add an ESCAPE character when using the single quote(') character in the hint's text.
Raw Text The TIWURL, TIWURL32, TIWLink, TIWHyperLink32 controls now have the RawText property. This property refers to how the caption of those controls is rendered as HMTL. For more information on the RawText property please see the reference guide.
TIWTreeView Control Improved The Font property of the TIWTreeView control contains now a CSSStyle member, that can be edited in the designer.
Unknown Browser Detection In IntraWeb 7, unknown browser detection functions at form level as well as at server level. This means that, when an unknown or unsupported browser is detected at form level, the application will redirect at the URL specified in the server controller's property UnknownBrowser.
Individual Session Timeout In IntraWeb 7, when a session is started, it's timeout is defaulted to that of the global one, defined in the Server Controller. (For more information about the session timeout in the Server Controller, refer to the TIWServerControllerBase.SessionTimeout in the Reference Guide.) Later on, the session timeout can be set individually.
DeviceNotSupported Property in Server Controller When an unsupported device is accessed (such as a PDA with an WML device), the application redirects to the location specified by this property, and if the property is left blank, an exception with the message "Device not supported" is raised.
Small Changes:
- The ConvertSpaces property of TIWCustomText and TIWCustomText32 is defaulted to false. The ConvertSpaces property indicates whether spaces contained in the Text of the control should be rendered as ' ' or ignored.
