This topic provides an overview of the new functionalities introduced with the Ultimate UI for ASP.NET 12.1®
The following table summarizes the new features of the Ultimate UI for ASP.NET 12.1 Additional details are available after following the summary table.
The WebDataGrid Multi-Column headers now work with Column Fixing behavior. You can fix individual columns or grouped columns, but not columns inside a group.
Excel-style filtering gives users the option to select the search condition from a checkbox list with distinct values for the column. They can choose a subset of the list items or all items.
The WebHierarchicalDataGrid now supports multi-column headers where multiple levels of headers can be configured in the grid and data columns can be grouped into parent headers.
Multi-Column footers functionality allows you to merge a footer for several columns.
The Cell Merging features of the WebDataGrid and WebHierarchicalDataGrid controls provide you with the capability to perform visual merging of cells with the same value.
When the ASP.NET controls are opened through a touch platform browser, they react properly when the user interact with them, by processing touch events on the client. In addition to this change from the previous release, WebVideoPlayer adds special behavior, when it is running on a touch platform browser.
When running WebVideoPlayer on a mobile device, the default device video player controls are rendered, unless the Modernizr JavaScript library is undefined. If for some reason you do not have the Modernizr library available on your page, then the igVideoPlayer control is rendered, which in some cases may have fewer touch capabilities than the default device video player. That is why when Modernizr library is available igVideoPlayer falls back to the default device video player.
