Bee Mobile iPack version 3.2.6. was released on Sep 17, 2013. These controls were updated to new versions:
- DataGrid v. 3.5.1.0

Datagrid v. 3.5.1.0
You can now change the background color of individual cells. Big thanks goes to company Gebit, GmbH for their cooperation on this feature. You can now even make the whole DataGrid semi-transparent which makes it along with round corners really stylish data manipulator. You can also display scroll bars and use them to scroll the document in addition to touch scrolling. This is especially useful if the document contains many rows.
LineChart v. 3.5.0.3
LineChart is now dependant on BeeMobile.Common.CFxx.dll library. You can make the whole control semi-transparent.
RoundComboBox v. 3.5.1.8
We added a new property – DropDown style – that has the same functionality as standard .NET Framework ComboBox. Editable TextBox is also now part of RoundComoBox.
You can also now filter the list based on characters entered into RoundComboBox. We added a SuggestListFilter property for this purpose. When it’s set, the drop-down list is filtered. Another new feature is that RoundComboBox collapses automatically when it loses focus.
RoundTextBox v. 3.5.1.11
We added several new features into this popular control. BackColorFocused property allows you set a different BackColor for the control if it has input focus. That way you can visualize the input focus even better. This is a very popular feature nowadays which can be seen on many present web pages.
With the new InputRegexString property you can specify a regular expression and use to limit the input accepted by RoundTextBox. It does not matter if you are not a regular expressions expert, because we built several regular expressions into, such as whole numbers only, positive numbers only, negative numbers only, decimal numbers. RoundTextBox can also now accept data from the clipboard which is a very useful functionality if you are implementing a bar-code scanner into your application.
RoundTextBoxMultiline v. 3.5.0.6
RoundTextBoxMultiline is now dependent on BeeMobile.Common.CF35.dll library. Thanks to that you can make the whole control semi-transparent and it can also be used as a parent container for other controls while their transparency will remain functional.
TouchList and TouchListLite v. 3.5.3.5
Several improvements have been implemented in TouchList. If you were using image buttons in TouchList, you could experience that they would get stuck in pressed state. The issue is now solved. Also Checkboxes now change the underlying data source automatically and immediately after clicking. In previous version handling an event was necessary. There were also some interface changes. Consult the version history log in the customer portal.
TransparentControls v. 3.5.8.3
IControlBitmap interface was implemented for TPanel, TPanelVista and TForm controls to enable flow of information among them and the child controls.
