28.7.2023 WPTools 9.3.7.0 is available for registered users. This update enhances various features of WPtools, including an improved adaptation to high DPI monitors and an enhanced support for VCL scaling. This enhancement was enabled by the integrated SVG support that optimizes the rendering of icons on the ruler and toolbar component.
Please check out the EXE demo to test the UI enhancements.
The issues regarding certain dialogs not scaling properly have been resolved. Enhancements have been made to WPReporter, which now allows the addition of custom string variables to bands. It can also redirect the output to a memory stream for specific groups within the template only. We are currently developing a demo to demonstrate the utilization of these features.
WPTools premium offers a compact yet effective way to substitute variables within a string – we are confident that this feature has multiple applications.
