It would appear that some of the programming changes did not get documented:

The deprecation of the setBitmap function has not been documented in the bitmapWidget documentation online.
The onZoom event is not documented for the imagecontrol object.
I cannot find any documentation for the formattedtextcontrol object.

Thanks for the heads up.

There are some additional changes coming in v2.8, so I'll get the documentation updated with that update.

Cheers,
