What's new in Binarymission products

BMX — Web (HTML5, Angular, React, Vue, Svelte, Blazor, ASP.NET MVC)

• NewA commercial component library shipped as a single self-registering runtime file. One <script> tag registers every <bmx-*> element; the browser renders them, so there is no bundler, no module graph and no build step.
• NewActions. <bmx-button> with six variants, seven tones, five sizes, four shapes and seven click effects, plus activation guards — click-again-to-confirm, hold-to-confirm, and single-flight async handlers. <bmx-button-group> is a toolbar, a segmented control and a multi-toggle in one tag; <bmx-split-button> joins a default action to a real <bmx-menu>.
• NewFields. <bmx-input>, <bmx-textarea>, <bmx-select>, <bmx-combobox>, <bmx-date-picker> and <bmx-upload>. Real FormData participation from inside a shadow root, both masking kinds, asynchronous validation, a windowed option list that stays smooth at five thousand entries, and an upload queue with per-file progress, cancel, retry and chunking over a replaceable transport.
• NewChoices. <bmx-checkbox> with the mixed state and a 24px target at every size, <bmx-radio-group> and <bmx-radio>, <bmx-switch> over a real checkbox, <bmx-slider> single and range in both orientations, and <bmx-rating>.
• NewNavigation. <bmx-menu> as dropdown, cascade and context menu in one component; <bmx-tabs> drawing each tab from its panel's own label; <bmx-accordion> whose closed panels are genuinely inert; <bmx-toolbar> collapsing what does not fit into a menu that activates your own element; <bmx-breadcrumb> folding its middle; <bmx-pagination> with a fixed-width page window; and <bmx-splitter>.
• NewFeedback. <bmx-dialog> and <bmx-drawer> over the browser's own top-layer modal, with an iOS-safe scroll lock and a reported close reason; the <bmx-tooltip> and <bmx-popover> pair; <bmx-toast> with a real queue per corner; and <bmx-progress> and <bmx-skeleton>.
• NewDisplay. <bmx-badge>, whose for attribute puts the count into the control's own announcement; <bmx-chip> and <bmx-chip-set>; and <bmx-avatar> and <bmx-avatar-group>, with a tint derived from the name so the same person is the same colour everywhere.
• NewApplications. <bmx-carousel> built on the platform's own scroll-snap, so the flick physics are the device's; <bmx-calendar> with month, agenda, week and day views and keyboard rescheduling; and <bmx-org-chart>, laid out by Reingold and Tilford's tidy-tree algorithm in Buchheim's linear form and announced as a tree.
• NewSix companion elements written as markup rather than passed as data: <bmx-option>, <bmx-radio>, <bmx-menu-item>, <bmx-tab-panel>, <bmx-accordion-item> and <bmx-breadcrumb-item> — which is what a Razor page, a Blazor component, a Django template or an htmx swap can actually produce.
• NewWCAG 2.2 AA as a design constraint rather than a later remediation: real elements instead of ARIA impersonations, one focus indicator across the whole library, full WAI-ARIA keyboard patterns, and prefers-reduced-motion, prefers-contrast and forced-colors honoured throughout.
• NewTen themes, switchable per page or per panel, with the whole library retinting from a dozen CSS custom properties and no build step. Three density modes and full right-to-left support.
• NewTyped React, Angular and Vue wrappers, generated from each component's own API and carrying no component code of their own.
• NoteDocumentation is at binarymission.co.uk/docs/webcomponents/bmx, and every component runs for real in the live showcase. The product overview is on the Web Components page.
• NoteAvailable under commercial licence with source escrow, on the same model as TreeListView.

Licensed separately from the Hypernova .NET packages. See the pricing page for the Deluxe Web and Ultra editions.

TreeListView — Web (HTML5, Angular, React, Vue, Blazor, ASP.NET)

• NewA commercial, framework-neutral Tree Grid Web Component shipped as a single compiled runtime file, bm-treelistview.min.js. Drop in the script, render <bm-treelistview>, call setData(columns, items). No build step and no framework lock-in.
• NewTree and list modes over the same dataset, switched through the mode attribute — no second component and no second data shape.
• NewTen built-in themes selectable through the theme property, plus complete host branding by overriding the --tlv-* CSS custom properties.
• NewThree density modes: comfortable, compact and spacious.
• NewSelection models: single, multiple and checkbox, including select-all for visible rows and a footer selection count.
• NewRich cell kinds out of the box: text, badge, progress, link, date, currency, boolean, icon text and row action cells.
• NewFrozen tree column, so the hierarchy stays visible while users scroll horizontally through wide operational datasets.
• NewBuilt-in filter bar and sortable headers, with programmatic control through setFilterText().
• NewColumn resizing, per-column visibility toggling and resetColumnWidths().
• NewLazy loading of children for large and remote hierarchies, driven by the tlvLazyLoad event and updateNodeChildren().
• NewCSV export of the currently visible rows.
• NewState snapshot and restore through getState() and restoreState(), with optional persistence across sessions.
• NewAccessibility built in: treegrid and grid roles, ARIA row metadata, active-descendant focus management, full keyboard navigation and polite announcements.
• NewOptional row virtualisation, plus locale and currency formatting through the locale and currency attributes.
• NewA full DOM event surface for host applications: tlvSelectionChange, tlvActionClick, tlvRowDoubleClick, tlvContextMenu, tlvSortChange, tlvFilterChange, tlvColumnResize, tlvStateChange and tlvLazyLoad.
• NoteThe component has its own product site at treelistview.com ↗, with a full interactive playground at demo.treelistview.com ↗.

Licensed separately from the Hypernova .NET packages, and available to Corporate (Unlimited Company) and Blueprint licence customers as part of the Hypernova (Web) package.
