Website Changes
I have updated several aspects of the website.

You are no longer required to enter an email address in order to get a link to download the latest version of Krypton. This makes it easier for those that have already supplied their email in the past but want the latest link. The download page provides a direct link to get the current version as well as an optional section to subscribe to the email service.

I have expanded the product section so that each product has its own page and set of sub-pages giving screenshots of various features for that product. This should make it easier for new people on the site to get an idea of what the Krypton products are all about.

The free download is now called KryptonSuite rather than the previous KryptonToolkit. I received feedback that it was not obvious to people that the Toolkit download also included the evaluation versions of the commercial products. So calling it the Suite should make it more obvious.

Let me know what you think of the new look site and any ideas you have for further improvements.

New – KryptonWorkspace control
Many bug fixes including…
   KryptonComboBox auto suggest fixed
   Improved resource disposal to prevent leaks

I will add an extra forum so bugs related to the Beta can be reported. Let me know if you have any problems by reporting them on the forum so everything can see and prevent duplication. Enjoy!

I’ve just finished creating the new samples for the upcoming Version 3 of Krypton and wanted to show a picture. One of the scenarios I imagine being quite common is dragging and dropping from a TreeView into a Navigator or Workspace instance. So I created a sample that implements just that.

The sample contains a TreeView derived class that has been customized to recognize the user starting to drag a node and then hooks into the Krypton page dragging functionality. So you just need to create a DragManager instance and attach it to the PageDragNotify property of the new control and your ready to roll.

Hook up your Navigator/Workspace instances to the same DragManager and they all work nicely together. The sample also allows you to drag from the Navigator and drop it on the TreeView so the page becomes part of the tree again.

You can apply the same technique to any control and so easily integrate your own list control, button or custom control into the page dragging of Krypton. Just look at the code in the sample and apply it to your favorite control and your up and running.
