Status: Released
The latest release introduces a powerful and flexible Kanban view, designed for seamless integration into your applications.
It can be easily integrated into existing grids or work with interfaces, enabling a visually engaging way to manage tasks or items. The intuitive drag-and-drop feature allows users to change item statuses dynamically, streamlining workflows.

| Kanban view runtime example |
For simple cases, the developer may quickly choose a few attributes to determine how items are organized in columns and the information shown in each item.
For more advanced scenarios, developers can take full control by loading items via a procedure or data provider, offering unmatched customization and scalability. This new control combines ease of use with powerful capabilities to enhance productivity.
If drag and drop is enabled, when an item is dragged from one column to another a procedure is called where the developer can perform all validations and actions required by the application logic.
The developer can quickly add a kanban view in a blank web panel using the "Add Kanban View from Transaction" action.
K2BTools 15.3 introduces a new Treeview control, designed to enhance the way hierarchical data is displayed and interacted with in your applications. Whether you need to represent organizational structures, product catalogs, or file systems, this control provides an intuitive and user-friendly experience. This control can be used in regular variables and collection variables.

Additionally, it supports lazy loading, ensuring optimal performance by loading nodes only when needed. For example, you can use the Treeview to navigate a large inventory, progressively loading product categories and subcategories, or to drill down into multi-level customer data without overwhelming the interface.
The calendar view was improved in this version, adding the possibility of showing more information in calendar items when required.
 |
| Calendar view extra information |
The developer can acheive this using the "extras" collection in the CalendarItem SDT when loading the items using a Procedure or data provider.
By default, the extra items will be shown in the calendar item below the description and time period. If the text does not fit in the space allocated for the item (as shown in the image above), the user can see the complete version in the item's tooltip.
The calendar control now allows the developer to scroll the view up to a specific hour. This is useful when the calendar shows the hours early in the day that are rarely used.
In previous versions, the calendar list was defined in design time. This version adds support for calendars loaded dynamically in runtime, using the "Calendar provider" property in the calendar view.
Using this API the developer can choose which calendars are active in the panel, emulating the action performed by the user in the calendar selection combobox.
This version includes the "Add calendar from Transaction" action to easily add a calendar view to any web panel generated with this tool.

| Add calendar from Transaction action |
- Bugs related to the render of muti-day events were solved.
- Long calendar descriptions are now shown correctly in the calendar selection combobox.
This release introduces support for the Column Group Description property in grid columns, enabling developers to group adjacent columns under a shared header for improved clarity and organization. When columns with the same group description are placed next to each other, the grid automatically displays a group header above the individual column titles. The group headers dynamically adjust to changes in the grid state, such as column reordering, hiding, or showing, ensuring that the headers remain accurate and relevant. This feature enhances readability and provides a more user-friendly grid experience.
