Genghis v0.4
Sorry for the long wait. There's been two whole books written between the last release of Genghis and this one. Here's the list of new features:
- Everything works under .NET 1.0 and 1.1 (except HandleCollector)
- MSN Messanger-style popup window
- UI Type Editor for use with ImageList index selection
- AppBar implementation
- Text file search
- Themed controls
- Single instance application support, including passing command line args from other instances
- Multiple top-level window support
- Many enhancements and fixes to the command line parser
- Splash screen class
- Improved WebCommandLineHelper class which now works with .NET 1.0 and 1.1, includes URL decoding and requires no additional permissions (although it does require a server-side HTTP handler, included as the ConfigFileHandler class that maps requests for foo.exe?bar=quux.config to the foo.exe.config file)
- WizardSheet updates
- Status Bar Extender for mapping status messages to Windows Forms controls
Thanks to my new build master, Mike Marshal, who got all of this together. He's the greatest!
