Enhancements

Additional OData ChangeSet Actions

OData ChangeSet has been enhanced to support the following additional actions:

Both online and offline OData services support these actions exclusively on mobile platforms (iOS and Android).

Enabled State for Buttons

We have introduced a new property for the button controls - Enabled. The default value for the property is set to True. For more information refer to the following documents:

Zero Selection Option for the Duration Picker

With this release, the duration picker control will accept zero as a valid selection in the iOS platform (this feature is already supported on the Android platform). For more information refer to this document.

BackStackVisible Property in Navigation Action

We have introduced a new property BackStackVisible in Navigation Action that will indicate if the user navigation is being stored in the navigation history or not. By default, the value of this property is set to true.

Note

This property is only applicable for inner and outer navigation type and not the cross navigation type.

Done and Negative Sign Button in the Simple Property Control Keyboard in iOS

We have introduced two new elements in the Simple Property FormCell's control keyboard (iOS platform):

  • Done - You can find this button on the trailing side of the keyboard. Pressing this will close the active keyboard. This button will be available for all the keyboards: Number, NumberPassword and Phone.
  • - - You can find the minus sign button on the leading side of the keyboard. This button can be used when you have to input a negative number. This button will only be available for the Number keyboard.

Note

Negative sign can only be entered as the first character of the input.
