This topic presents the new and enhanced controls and features for the Infragistics® Windows Forms 2017 Volume 1 release.
We’ve improved the four ColPosChanged events to better accommodate column fixing. This improvement applies to the following events:
Previously, the PosChanged argument described the type of position change that occurred, but there was not an enum to denote that column positions were changed due to a fixing action. Instead, the PosChanged value would be Moved, causing ambiguity between fixing and moving actions.
ColumnPosChangedType is the new argument replacing PosChanged. It includes a FixedStateChanged flagged enum option to distinguish between fixing and moving actions.
Note that PosChanged has been obsoleted, not removed, so that existing apps depending on this argument can continue working as designed. As such, this is not a breaking change.

The WinMaskedEdit and WinDateTimeEditor now have the ability to show the era of a DateTime by using the g or gg option in the InputMask. The era will be shown in accordance to the culture of the control, including modern Imperial Japanese eras.
By default, the culture will default to the machine’s culture, so the WinDateTimeEditor and WinMaskedEdit will work out of the box when running on any machine by conforming to its culture setting. The control’s culture can also be manually specified by the CultureInfo property for WinMaskedEdit or FormatProvider property for WinDateTimeEditor.

The WinDateTimeEditor, WinCurrencyEditor, WinMaskedEdit, and WinNumericEditor each already had the ability to increment the current value when the user gives a certain input. Added in 17.1 is the ability for the developer to set the editor’s behavior when a numeric section is incremented past its maximum range through the SpinWrapBehavior property. The options now available are:
Default — By default, the control will follow the WrapAcrossSections behavior.
NoWrapping — The value will stop incrementing/decrementing at the max/min.
WrapAcrossSections — The value will go to the min/max and increment/decrement the next high section.
For example, if a month set at 12 is incremented, the month will go to 1 and the year will be incremented by 1.
WrapCurrentSection — The value will go to the min/max and no other sections will be affected.
For example, if a month set at 12 is incremented, the month will go to 1 and the year will remain the same.
SpinWrapBehavior obsoletes its predecessor, the SpinWrap property. In order to reduce breaking existing applications, SpinWrap has been obsoleted rather than replaced. Therefore it will not be shown through IntelliSense, since SpinWrapBehavior is the preferred implementation, but it is still valid to set for the sake of legacy code.
The default behavior of all affected controls has been changed from NoWrapping to WrapAcrossSections, so any editors which did not have SpinWrap explicitly set will see that change in default behavior. This is a breaking change and is documented in Breaking Changes in 2017 Volume 1

The WinRadioButton is a checkable button linked to other WinRadioButton’s in a group. Its defining characteristic is that only 1 WinRadioButton within a group may be checked at one time, so when a WinRadioButton is selected, all others within the group become unchecked. This is useful in scenarios where a choice must be made between mutually exclusive options.
WinRadioButtons automatically group with other WinRadioButtons within the same control container by default, or they can be grouped manually by using a
WinRadioButtonGroupManger
component, allowing for a custom schema and uniform Appearance settings. Finally, the WinRadioButton can be used within the WinGrid to allow users to make an exclusive selection of a grid row.
