• [ADDED]
  • New style dialog is used to select a folder. That dialog box is resizable, has a context menu. You can create new folders in the dialog. In the dialog that selects a folder to upload a checkbox added that allows you to specify whether to process the folder recursively or use only file that are immediately located in the folder selected.
• [CHANGED]

• [FIX]
  • You can use cursor keys to move the current item, to make selection in the list view box.
• [CHANGED]
  • The wait parameter of the upload method has been removed. Now the upload method always waits for upload termination. Having upload running asynchronously causes too much trouble.
• [CHANGED]
  • Allowed upload with an empty file list. Upload does nothing in that case, it neither sends data, nor tries to connect to the server. In the previous version the control threw an error if the file list was empty.
• [CHANGED]
  • Changed uploaded event model. Added an OnUploadCompletedError event. In the OnUploadBegin, OnUploadCompletedSuccessfully, OnUploadCompletedError event handlers now allowed to change upload properties and the upload file list. Allowed to cancel upload in the OnUploadBegin (and OnUploadClicked, though it is considered obsolete) event handler. In the previous version calling the Stop method in the OnUploadClicked event handler had no effect.

  • Delete key deletes the current item in the file list.
• [CHANGED]
  • The file list now constains folders as well as files. This causes other changes. OnAddFiles and OnRemoveFiles events got a new parameter - NumberOfItems. NumberOfFiles as before means a number of files affected by the change, it does not include folders. The NumberOfItems parameter counts both files and folders.

    FileCount property counts only files in the file list. To get total number of items use FileListItemCount property.
