JKI Flat UI Controls 2.0.1 (New Controls and Various Improvements)

[Jim Kring]

JKI Flat UI Controls 2.0.1 is now available with New Controls and Various Improvements (functional, cosmetic, and search)...

This builds on the 2.0 release and all users are encouraged to upgrade.

Release Notes

New Controls
- Text Only Button (“Blank” Button with no Icon -- just text)
- File Open Button (120x40 button with File Icon and "Open" text)
- File Path Control with folder icon for browse button (in addition to one with a plus “+” icon)
- Borderless Cluster (with very small border/edge, which is nice for making arrays of items where extra visual space between elements is not desired)
- System Cluster (uses a system recessed frame as cluster border)
- System Array (uses a system recessed frame as the array border and a system numeric as the index display)
- VISA Resource (looks similar to the existing Flat UI Controls 2.0 Combo Box)

Functional Improvements
