//
// June 2007
//   - Bug fix: Fixed a problem with potentially large amount of nodes (larger than 2 billion) in
//              TBaseVirtualTree.SetChildCount.
//   - Bug fix: remove hint if any in case the tree loses the focus.
//   - Improvement: TVirtualTreeColumns.HandleClick is now virtual, introduced TVTHeader.DoSetSortColumn.
//   - Bug fix: compiler error due to old variable reference when enabling flat scrollbars.
// May 2007
//   - Improvement: new functions: GetPreviousSelected, GetPreviousChecked, GetCheckedCount,
//     GetPreviousCutCopy, GetCutCopyCount, GetFirstLeaf, GetNextLeaf,
//     GetPreviousLeaf, GetFirstLevel, GetNextLevel, GetPreviousLevel
//   - Improvement: new properties: CheckedCount, CutCopyCount
//   - Improvement: DoFocusChanging for finding a valid column (TBaseVirtualTree.WMKeyDown)
// March 2007
//   - Improvement: adjusted accessibility implementation to compile with pre-BDS IDEs.
//   - If a column is not visible, MultiColumnAccessibility now will not include it.
// January 2007
//   - Improvement: added code donation from Marco Zehe (with help from Sebastian Modersohn) which implements the
//                  MS accessibility interface for Virtual Treeview.
// December 2006
//   - Improvement: bidi mode implementation finished (toAutoBidiColumnOrdering introduced)
//   - Change: right-to-left flag removed from shorten string methods/events (not necessary)
//   - Version is now 4.5.0
// November 2006
//   - Bug fix: Total height is wrong on reading from stream
// September 2006
//   - Bug fix: Mantis issue #326
// July 2006
//  - Change: value for crHeaderSplit cursor conflicts with other resource IDs, so I changed it.
//  - Published OnStartDrag in VirtualDrawTree.
// April 2006
//   - Bug fix: check for MMX availabiltiy is missing in some places before calling MMX code
//   - Bug fix: flag for VCL dragging was removed too late causing all kind of problems with mouse up code in VCL drag mode.
//   - Bug fix: If the past mode in ProcessOLEData is amInsertAfter then nodes where inserted in the wrong order.
// March 2006
//   - Bug fix: total count and total height is wrong after loading from stream
//   - Bug fix: variable node height computation
//   - Bug fix: FLastChangedNode was not reset in DoFreeNode
// February 2006
//   - Improvement: GetFirstChecked now also has a default value for its state parameter.
//   - Improvement: avoid potential reentrancy problems in paint code by checking for the paint state there.
// January 2006
//   - Bug fix: disabled images are now drawn like enabled ones (with respect to position, indices etc.).
//   - Improvement: New property BottomSpace, allows to specify an additional area below the last node in the tree.
//   - Bug fix: VT.EndUpdate did not invalidate the cache so the cache was never used again after that.
//   - Improvement: tree states for double clicks (left, middle, right).
// December 2005
//   - Bug fix: check for column index for auto setting main column if the current one is deleted.
