- public event EventHandler<PropertyChangedEventArgs<object>> SelectionCommitted;
- This event is fired when the new DateTime value is committed. It's possible, that selected date is changed while end-user works with drop-down calendar using keyboard. In such case C1DatePicker.SelectedDateChanged and C1DateTimePicker.DateTimeChanged events might be fired many times. SelectionCommitted event is fired only once at closing drop-down calendar. When selected DateTime value is changed without using drop-down calendar, SelectionCommitted event is fired at the same time as C1DatePicker.SelectedDateChanged and C1DateTimePicker.DateTimeChanged events.

[C1PDF] Added a DrawingElement event that allows callers to customize the output generated by the DrawElement method. The event fires once for each FrameworkElement rendered after calls to the DrawElement methods. It allows you to override the built-in rendering behavior and to render custom content for specific elements.
[C1Report] Internal changes consistent with ComponentOne Reports for WinForms version 20123.54602. See the Reports for WinForms version history for details.
[C1Scheduler] A new property has been added to the Appointment class:
- public string AppointmentType {get; set; }
- This property gets or sets a custom text value associated with this object. This property is serialized with other appointment properties. You can use this property to show customized content or perform different actions depending on the property value. This property is serialized into different formats and it is saved into underlying data source if mapping for Appointment Properties is set. The default value in null.
[C1Scheduler] The AppointmentsCoverPane class can be inherited and used in custom control templates for the C1Scheduler control.
[C1Scheduler] New methods to the AppointmentsCoverPane class have been added:
- public virtual bool IsPaneAppointment(C1.C1Schedule.Appointment appointment, AppointmentFilterEnum filter);
- Checks whether the specified appointment should be shown in the current pane. The default implementation filters appointments according to the AppointmentsCoverPane.AppointmentFilter property value. Override this method in the derived class to filter appointments by additional conditions.
- public virtual void InitializeAppointment(C1.C1Schedule.Appointment appointment)
- Initializes the newly created appointment or edits existing one when it is dropped to the AppointmentsCoverPane by the end-user. This method is called by the C1Scheduler control immediately before firing UserAddingAppointment and BeforeAppointmentDrop events. Override this method in derived class if you need additional appointment initialization.
[C1Scheduler] All controls now honor the FrameworkElement.Language property value. If it is not set, controls will use the default culture "en-US".
- Notes:
  - If your application explicitly sets Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture property value, make sure that you set Language property for the root visual in your application to the same value.
  - Known issue: C1DatePicker control uses MS Calendar control in the dropdown part. MS Calendar control honors CurrentThread.CurrentCulture if FrameworkElement.Language property value is not set. So, to keep dropdown calendar and text in the C1DatePicker control in the same culture, always keep FrameworkElement.Language and CurrentThread.CurrentCulture properties in sync.
  - If Language property is not set in application, the C1Scheduler control will use Language, corresponding to the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture. It also propagates this value to all default dialogs. If you cancel default C1Scheduler dialogs and show own dialogs from your code, make sure that you set the Language property in every dialog. If you build multicultural application which should use local machine culture settings, in most case it should be enough to set language property once on the root visual of your application.
[C1Theming] Themes loading no longer cause unhandled exceptions that interrupt execution of applications run from VisualStudio.
[C1TileView] Added 'ContentTemplateSelector','HeaderTemplateSelector', 'ContentTemplateMaximizedSelector', 'ContentTemplateMaximizedSelector' properties.
[C1TileView] Added 'ItemTemplateSelector','ItemTemplateHeaderSelector', 'ItemTemplateMaximizedSelector', 'ItemTemplateMinimizedSelector' properties.
