Added sending notifications to all touch screen viewer apps (including mobile apps).

[John Hughes]

Any size interfaces can now be created/edited on any resolution monitor.

Added touch screen inteface dimensions to status bar.

Added continuous mouse position to status bar.

The builder window is now re-sizable (cannot be sized larger than loaded interface).

[John Hughes]

Control sytles can now be pasted into other controls (allows quickly duplicating styles to other controls).

[John Hughes]

Added new Web Browser Button control to launch a web browser from a touch screen (including Elve Mobile apps).

[John Hughes]

Auto generated property value change events now allow filtering the rule on the new value via the user interface without scripting.

[John Hughes]

Rule whenever filters for named lists such as lights, thermostats, etc now support choosing the index by item name such as a light name.

[John Hughes]

Added persistent touch screen interface sessions. Re-entering the app will now continue where you left off (up to 20 minutes after disconnecting).

I don't have an image for this since that would be hard to show but this feature basically lets you continue a touch screen session as if you never left up to 20 minutes after you exited the app. This is particularly useful in the mobile apps.

Added image quality setting to touch screen view lite and Elve mobile apps for snapshot mode (png & jpg with compression). This improves performance and reduces memory use.

[John Hughes]

Added CheckedChanged event to Radio Button.

[John Hughes]

Added Item Selected event to Media Browser (occurs when the user selects an item, regardless of the item type).

[John Hughes]

Added support for animating the movement of a touchscreen control to a destination location.
This is only supported in Touch Screen Viewer and not in the Touch Screen Viewer Lite or the Mobile Elve applications.

[John Hughes]

Added touch screen events (as opposed to control events).

[John Hughes]

Added event args support to touch screen builder events. Some touch screen and control events now expose event arguments which give more information about the event that occured.

Added event args support to action list condition action. This provides a a simpler point and click user experience when adding conditions to action lists.

Added Device Property Value Change event to touch screen controls and touch screens. This provides the ability to do anything in a touch screen when a device property value changes. For example you could change the touch screen to weather when the current temperature gets over 100 degrees.

Added Key Pressed event to touch screens.

[John Hughes]

Added AreaAlarmStates and AreaAlarmStatesTexts properties and change events to HAI Omni Pro driver.
