After the release of DevExpress Blazor UI Components v19.2.3, we updated our XAF Blazor demo, addressed a few issues and implemented some new capabilities. As always, we look forward to your comments and questions.
- Theme Selector with 20+ Bootstrap themes: At this stage, we’ve tested the default Office White theme (minor issues are expected for other themes).
- Optimistic Concurrency Control: Includes the ability to merge and discard changes.
- 'Edit' button for aggregated objects and a Clear button for nullable editors.
- Partial data loading for root List Views (like Server Mode).
- Page Size selector in List Views.
- List View records now open via a single click instead of the in-place 'Open' button.
- Previous known issues were resolved:
- The Filter by Text command is now case-insensitive;
- List View rows can be grouped by reference properties;
- New objects are immediately added to List Views.
What's Next?
We are presently working on the following new features:
- Simple Form-based authentication with a login and password, role-based authorization and basic user/role management with access rights created in code (no specialized permission editors in the UI).
- A "compact" toggle for all themes in the Theme Selector (many customers wanted more compact themes for the Web). We will also polish remaining themes for XAF layouts by v20.1.
