Aspose development team is happy to announce the monthly release of Aspose.Words for Java & .NET 15.12.0. This month?s release contains over 89 useful new features, enhancements and bug fixes to the Aspose.Words products. Here is a look at just a few of the biggest features and API changes in this month?s release, Support of Read-only access to ActiveX Control properties, Support of Default page margins, header and footer distance, column spacing depends on current culture, Introduced Overloaded method InsertOleObject in DocumentBuilder class, Introduced SuggestedFileName Property in OleFormat class, Avoid Populating Merge Fields Inside the false Part of IF Field, Support of Ruby Tags in HTML Import and support of Applying styles from the template during HTML insertion. OleControl is new public class and represents ActiveX control. OleControl class is base class for all ActiveX objects. You can check whether control is a Forms 2.0 OLE control by OleControl.IsForms2OleControl property. Type of Forms2OleControl is exposed in Forms2OleControlType.Type property. OleControl.IsForms2OleControl property will return true when control type is Forms 2.0 OLE control. Now default page margins, header/footer distance and column spacing depend on current culture to mimic MS Word behavior. For example, now all page margins are 1 for English (United States) and English (United Kingdom). Left, right, top margins are 2.5 cm; bottom margin is 2 cm for German. The new defaults are used for a new document and for a loaded document if an explicit value is not set for the mention parameters. Previous implementation of InsertOleObject expects full file name to linked object and chooses ProgId and ClsId depending on file extension. Passing internet URL reveals new use case. We can?t extract file type from URL directly, URL can refer to page in very different way. It can be www.aspose.com, www.aspose.comindex.aspx?id=1 and so on. So Aspose.Words decided to make new method which allows customer to pass ProgId explicitly. Microsoft Word is smart enough to extract file name of embedded OLE object if it is an OutlookAttach OLE object. So Aspose.Words mimics the same behavior. If file name can not be extracted, empty string is returned. Originally, this issue was about introducing the option to control whether to populate merge field inside false part of IF field or not. However, we eventually decided that the suggested option was too specific. Thus we decided to simply make Aspose.Words avoid populating merge fields inside the false part of the field. The cleanup options are not applied too. So, false part of the IF field remains unchanged, like in MS Word mail merge preview. It also supports for Applying styles from the template during HTML insertion. That is why, the option was renamed. The list of new and improved features added in this release are given below
