New in v 7.18 - August 2023

  • Support for the new Excel2023 default format including the default aptos font. Now when calling ExcelFile.NewFile there is a new option to create a file with the new office 2023 theme and fonts.

  • FlexCelPreview now is available for .NET 6+ Winform apps. The FlexCel.Winforms nuget package now includes FlexCelPreview, and you can now use it from .NET 6 and newer Winform apps.

  • New property TExcelFile.PrintComments allows to directly manipulate how to print the comments. The new property ExcelFile.PrintComments allows you to directly change how comments are printed without having to use TExcelFile.PrintOptions.

  • FlexCel can now render comments "As displayed". When ExcelFile.PrintComments is "As Displayed", FlexCel will now print and export to PDF/HTML/SVG the comments as they are displayed. See https://support.tmssoftware.com/t/excel-with-comments-export-to-pdf-with-comments-showing/19377

  • New property TExcelFile.PrintErrors allows to directly manipulate how to print the errors in formulas inside the sheet. The new property ExcelFile.PrintErrors allows you to change how the errors in the sheet will be printed.

  • FlexCel can now render error in formulas according to the printer settings. When ExcelFile.PrintErrors is not "As Displayed", FlexCel will now print and export to PDF/HTML/SVG the correct values.

  • New properties TExcelFile.PrintOptionsInitializedFromPrinter, TExcelFile.PrintOverThenDown and TExcelFile.PrintDraftQuality. The new properties ExcelFile.PrintOptionsInitializedFromPrinter, ExcelFile.PrintOverThenDown and ExcelFile.PrintDraftQuality allow to change the TExcelFile.PrintOptions in a simpler way. Now there are properties to change every one of the individual PrintOptions, and so APIMate won't suggest changing PrintOptions, but the standalone properties instead. APIMate will still show the code to change PrintOptions, but commented out.

  • ApiMate won't show PrinterDriverSettings by default. PrinterDriverSettings are a huge binary blob which can make the output of APIMate much harder to read. It was already commented out, but now it is not shown at all by default. There is a checkbox to show it if you need it.

  • Bug Fix. When rendering charts inside xlsx files, sometimes FlexCel could fail to render the correct colors of some series, using black instead.

  • Bug Fix. Formatted numbers inside cells with "Shrink to fit" didn't shrink when exporting to HTML

  • Bug Fix. <#if> tag in reports would consider the condition true if it evaluated to NAN or a number.

  • Bug Fix. <#ref> tag in reports now returns a real reference instead of a string with the cell reference. While for most uses it is the same, in some cases like in the "Cell" function, the old <#ref> tag wouldn't work.
