4.1.8 (Feb 2007)

New attributes “scrollBar” and “horizontalScrollBar” have been added to scrollPane, treeTable, tree, table, treeTable, and listBox.
Developers can now dictate the behavior of these components by using the attribute values of “always”, “never”, or “automatic”. Previously, these components were all set to “automatic” by default and could not me modified.

Developers can now set the text in the status bar of a browser.
DisplayService now has a showStatus() method to set the browser status bar text. Note that you can have an mco call this or you can invoke it directly like:

<mco:execute>mco:DisplayService.showStatus('some text')</mco:execute>

Because the API method was added and you can invoke it declaratively, a config value was not added to client.xml. The status bar is used by the Platform during printing and showStatus() will not be able to overwrite this. Also, in IE 6.0, the status bar will initially show the applet name. Developers can change this in the client.xml under client-app/launch-configuration/applet-name.

The transparent color of the border line of <rect/> can be set with the strokeWidth attribute.
The correct attribute value to make the border of a svg component transparent is strokeWidth=”0”.

712-3507195 - The update of the screen by the button group of <checkBoxMenuItem/> results in a conflict with UI DOM

Now, in the stylesheet we use "highlighted" instead of "selected" to refer to highlighted menus and menu items. "selected" was already used for checkboxes when checked which created a conflict.

All of our stylesheets were changed. If an application has custom styles for menu/menuItem they will have to switch from using “selected” to “highlighted”.
