Below is the version history of the XtraVerticalGrid control since version 2006 vol 2.

Only the main features and major functionality changes are listed below.

Version 2010 vol 2

Fixed rows - This feature gives you the ability to fix data rows in much the same way as you fix columns within the XtraGrid. These "fixed" rows are not scrolled vertically. Unbound Expressions - You can create an unbound row and populate it with data via an event. Unbound rows can now be populated with data by specifying a string expression (formula). The Expression Editor can be used to build expressions.

Version 2008 vol 1

Unbound rows - Like the XtraGrid, which provides unbound columns, the VerticalGridControl now implements unbound rows (fields). Using unbound rows, you can dynamically display any information in particular records, and moreover, you can add editing capability support. New PropertyDescriptionControl - Designed to work together with the PropertyGridControl, this new control automatically displays descriptions of properties being browsed in the grid.

Version 2007 vol 2

The PropertyGridControl has the following improvements: support for string-editable properties like Font support for property names with brackets support for read only properties like with the PropertyGrid overall speed improvements

Version 2007 vol 1

Use the PropertyGridControl.SelectedObjects property to specify the objects whose properties need to be displayed within the control at a time.

Printing - It's possible to print the contents of Vertical Grid controls via our XtraPrinting Library. Exporting Data to XML, HTML, PDF, RTF, TXT, XLS and MHT format.

Version 2006 vol 2

The PropertyGridControl is a new control introduced in version 6.2. Like the standard Windows Forms PropertyGrid component, the PropertyGridControl is designed to represent and edit properties of any object at runtime. But unlike the standard control, the PropertyGridControl will provide you with advanced appearance and behavior capabilities: specifying editors to edit values; multiple editors within a single row; ability to reorder and hide specific rows; support for nested rows; support for custom category rows; internal and external drag and drop; runtime layout customization by end-users; skinning and appearance technologies that allow you to create a consistent UI when using multiple Developer Express .NET controls within a single application; alpha blending;

Fiding Root Groups - The new OptionsView.ShowRootCategories property specifies whether the root category rows are visible. Hiding the root categories is generally useful for the PropertyGridControl in case you just want to sort all the properties in alphabetical order.
