New comboboxes

All comboboxes and controls derived from them were fully rewritten. Comboboxes are not inherited from standard comboboxes now and free from limitations linked with the ItemHeight property. It's allow to control a bounds of component manually and make scaling of the component more correct. Also, many non-standard properties and possibilities were added, animations and popup windows behavior are more enhanced.

Custom borders in controls

Added possibility of custom calculated border painting. Border width, colors and radiuses of corners may be defined in the skins as default. Also, these properties may be specified for an each control separately in design-time or changed in real-time (look the SkinData.CustomBorder property).

Aligning of tabs in pagecontrols

Handling of tabs has been rewritten, added possibility of tabs aligning and shifting.

PageControl demo
New components

Added the TsPopupInfoBox component.

Use this control if some information must be easily accessed by user, but there is no enough place on the form.
