1.1.4

• Added support for MultiBinding syntax in dynamic resources.

1.1.3

• Added initialFocus property for XML fields.

1.1.2

• Added property IgnoreNullOrEmpty to validation attributes. If this property is set to true then validation will pass if the value is null or an empty string. This is useful when a field is optional and validation needs to occur only when a value is given.
• Added DatePicker to metro theme.
• Fixed behavior of WindowOptions.TopMost and WindowOptions.BringToFront.
• Dropdown selections are now virtualized for better performance.

1.1.1

• Metro dialog window no longer forces controls theme.
• Metro dialog window now passes initial focus to the controls.
• Added ComboBox control to WPF theme.
• Added IsDefault and IsCancel bindings in WPF and Metro actions.

• Fixed getter only properties throwing two-way binding errors.
• Added SelectionType.RadioButtonsInlineRightAligned for right-aligned radio buttons.
• Added [DirectContent] attribute that allows passing element rendering directly to WPF.
• Changed resource reference from MaterialDesignTextAreaTextBox to MaterialDesignOutlinedTextFieldTextBox

1.0.19

• Added support for IsEnabled in attributes or enabled in XML for input elements.

1.0.18

• Fixed bug with bound expressions not escaping curly braces properly.

1.0.17

• Added FormBuilder.TypeConstructors that allows registering custom factories for custom XML input type attributes.
• Added TimePicker control
  • You can add it by decorating DateTime class properties with the [Time] attribute. Property Is24Hours can be assigned to a boolean or a dynamic resource.
  • You can add it via <input type="time" ... /> in XML. Attribute is24hours can be assigned to a boolean or a dynamic resource.
• Fixed MaterialColoredIconStyle validation brush fill for invalid controls.

1.0.16

• Added error text element.
  • You can add it via [ErrorText] attribute in classes.
  • You can add it via <error> tag in XML.

1.0.15

• Added parameterized value converters which are created from factories registered in Resource class.
• Non-input XML elements accept visible property.
• Added Invalidate, IsValid, ValidateWithoutUpdate, GetValidationErrors utilities in ModelState class.
  • Invalidate temporarily fails validation for a property. If you modify the field, call Validate, or call ValidateWithoutUpdate, the marked error will disappear. To check the state of this validation error use IsValid/GetValidationErrors.
  • IsValid is useful if you want to check current validation state without triggering side-effects like Validate, which sometimes produces unexpected results.
  • ValidateWithoutUpdate should generally be avoided unless you are dealing with some strange edge cases.
  • GetValidationErrors returns the list of error strings from specified properties/whole model.
• Added Must.BeInvalid (and Must.Fail alias) validator for external validation. This validator always fails, so you must combine it with the When condition.
• Added ValueAttribute.OnActivation and ValueAttribute.OnDeactivation validation actions which specify what happens when the validator is enabled/disabled from the When condition.
• Added SelectionType.RadioButtonsInline for horizontal layout of radio buttons in selections.

1.0.14

• Stable NuGet release.
