piDog Software is proud to announce the release of v 1.14.5.1 of DataView and piDogScrollingCanvas.
piDogDataView, based on piDogScrollingCanvas is intended to be an easy to use, drop-in replacement for Xojo's Listbox control, providing more capabilities and a more modern feel while extending the Xojo ListBox API.

On-demand functionality has also been improved to eliminate the delay when initializing a list to display millions of rows.
This release also includes an important fix for Windows builds that could cause a stackoverflow exception when editing a cell.
Scrolling performance has been improved to recover speed lost in the previous few versions. More improvements have been made to handling of system colors and dark mode in macOS.

xDevLibrary is delighted to announce the release of a new book by Paul Abell,
VB.Net to Xojo: Converting Visual Studio Basic to Xojo. Visual Studio Basic and Xojo are remarkably similar... but just enough different that those subtle changes can throw you off your programming game. What you need is a guide, someone to show you the Xojo ropes.
Thankfully, Paul Abell is here to show you how to make the VB.net to Xojo transition. He's new to Xojo and still learning, but in this 53-page ebook he'll show you the conversion process, point out common Xojo misconceptions VB users make, and help you with tips and techniques to make your move to Xojo easy and successful!
Some of the topics discussed include explanations in how the two languages handle files, menus, colors, sounds, errors, printing, and more. You'll learn how to add features like using the Escape key to close windows, make pictures fit a box, and more.
Paul even includes the full source of a Xojo Windows project he wrote, XJSnip, which lets you manage snippets of Xojo code.
The ebook is in PDF, EPUB, and Mobi (Kindle) formats.

MonkeyBread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 19.2 for macOS, Linux and Windows, the latest update to their product that is easily the most powerful plugin collection currently available for Xojo. MBS Xojo Plugins have been updated and now includes over 2400 classes and 64000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions:
For MacOS Mojave we added a new ContinuityCameraMBS class. This allows you to start a process where a nearby iOS device is asked to take a picture and return the picture to the Mac. You can use both iPhones and iPads nearby with at least iOS 12. If you have multiple devices, you can show a popup menu to pick one. And you can choose to scan a document, which allows to merge several pictures taken into one PDF document.
Our DynaPDF Plugin got a new integration for Xojo's graphics class. You can query DynaPDFMBS object to get a graphics object for drawing in the current PDF page. This supports all the usual drawing commands in graphics including picture, text and polygons. You can draw 2D objects with transparency and all the other options. If you use the report engine in Xojo, you can draw your report into a PDF document via our plugin.
Our JSONMBS class got improved to better handle 64-bit numbers and avoid the conversion to double which involves rounding. The new convert method can convert between JSONMBS objects and a representation with Variant, Dictionary and Xojo arrays.
The SQL Plugin got a new cache engine when using AutoCache property. Use it to make a server side cursor local on your machine and scroll forward and backward. The SQLValueReadMBS class got new functions to return or set Int32, Int64 and UInt32 values. Our plugin now tries to keep connections alive and we got new constants for SQLite.
For Windows, you can use TextArea.WinAutoCorrectionMBS to enable auto correction beside spell checking. With WinShowFontPanelMBS method you can show font panel from Windows for the text area. The window.ActivateWindowMBS method can bring a window to front, even if the current process is not in front. Similar Application.FrontmostMBS works on Windows now.
We added a XMLValidatorMBS class to validate XML against a schema definition. Our Java array classes got upgraded to better query values or create Java arrays based on Xojo arrays. When merging Word documents with WordFileMBS class, you can now add a page break between the pages. We got a new ShellMBS class to run command line tools. With CIContextMBS we can now output to HEIF image format.
Finally we updated CURL to 7.64.1, DynaPDF to 4.0.27.80, LibXL to version 3.8.5, SQLite to 3.28.0, Xcode to 10.2 and CubeSQL SDK to version 5.7.3.

https://www.xojo.com/store#conference StackView Classes for Xojo
These classes enable a StackView, similar to Apple's NSStackView, to be used natively across platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux) with the help of ContainerControls. The StackView was tested under macOS 10.13+, Windows 10, Mint 18.2, Fedora 27, Ubuntu 16, and Elementary OS 5.0 Juno. The demo project was optimized for all three platforms. If the project is executed or compiled for Windows, the method
PrepareForWindows
takes over all adjustments for the controls within the StackView to create a flicker-free version.Under Linux, the controls of the demo project automatically adapt to the system sizes of the respective distribution.
This update contains a small significant internal change for macOS, so owners of the previous version are recommended to upgrade to the current version 1.07 (they receive the update for free by e-mail).
To purchase, just write me a private message at the Xojo Forum (https://forum.xojo.com/member/227571) with your valid e-mail address. I'll sent you the invoice about 15€ and after purchasing via PayPal you'll get the unencrypted source code.

Tim Parnell is excited to announce the launch of ExeWrapper, a tool for code signing Windows executables from macOS. No need to dual boot into another operating system. No headaches fumbling with VMs to find the one with the right configuration. Cross-platform developers can work, build, and now sign in macOS. A simple convenience for any workflow.
ExeWrapper is a Mac application at heart. Take advantage of features like the macOS Keychain to store certificate passwords, drag and drop file management, and shareable save documents to make signing deliverables easier than ever.
Designed to be easy every step of the way, ExeWrapper makes cross platform developers lives easier. Adding files to sign is a simple drag and drop operation. Files can be added statically, or folders can be added to be recursed at sign time. This makes it easy to sign your Xojo project in one step.

FTC has several viewing modes that gives users a choice of Page View, Edit View, or Single Line view. FTC supports inline graphics, hyperlinks, and text formatting that the built-in Xojo TextArea control just can't do. Users can import and save text, RTF, and XML format documents.

The Tab Control can attach to any RectControl or Window, and will maintain a relationship to this parent control if and when it changes size.

BigInteger, BigFloat, BigComplex, BigFraction, BigPoly, BigFloatMatrix, BigComplexMatrix, BigFractionMatrix fp Plugin allows a developer to construct Xojo programs which can handle the eight data types much like doubles and integers are handled. To a large extent the plugin's data types can be freely used with the +, -, *, and / operators, and can be used in comparisons. And some of Xojo's functions have been overloaded to take the plugin's data types, where it makes sense to do so.
Version 10.1 adds the ability to calculate the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of any square matrix at any chosen precision. It also can compute the rank of any matrix. The included TestBigFractionMatrix application uses these new functions.

While Xojo supports only a selection of them, CSTrueColors from Ulrich Bogun has all 50+ as dynamically buffered Xojo Colors—which means they are cached until a Dark Mode change or a change of the selection/AccentColor happens.
To make cross-platform development easier, you find the same colors on Windows, too, and on this platform selection and high contrast mode changes are registered, but not the current Windows Dark Mode.

http://aprendexojo.com JSONItem_MTC Update
Kem Tekinay is pleased to announce an update to the JSONItem_MTC project that now includes the M_JSON module. This emulates the new framework's ParseJSON and GenerateJSON functions but with the classic (soon to be API 2.0) framework. While the native functions work with Text, Xojo.Core.Dictionary, and Auto(), these will work with String, Dictionary, and Variant(). More, GenerateJSON_MTC has an optional parameter to produce a formatted ("pretty") string.
JSONItem_MTC is a drop-in replacement for the native JSONItem that is faster and compensates for some bugs found in the native version.

Xojo developer Tim Dietrich has launched the PromoStandards JSON API, a service that provides developers with an alternative, JSON-based interface to PromoStandards.
"PromoStandards is a collaborative effort by some of the leading companies in the promotional products industry to standardize how data is communicated," said Tim. "The goal is to reduce friction in the industry's business processes, which benefits suppliers, distributors, and customers alike. The promotional products industry is massive, with 2017 sales of $23.3 billion. So even the slightest increase in efficiency can have dramatic results."
With the PromoStandards JSON API Service, developers can send simple JSON requests, and receive JSON responses as well. Tim developed the API using Xojo and Aloe Express, a popular open-source Xojo Web server module.

Monkeybread Software is proud to announce Combine PDFs 5.3, an update to their popular PDF merge and split tool for Mac OS X. With a focus on ease-of-use, Combine PDFs is a lightweight utility which allows anyone to merge PDF files and images (JPEG, TIFF, etc.) into a single PDF file. Additionally, users can split a PDF file or create a new PDF file with interleaved pages from two different PDF files.
The user need only drag and drop files onto the program icon. The main window appears allowing the user to set the order in which the files are joined, or to remove any files.

Once all PDF and image files are correctly ordered, and metadata has been entered, a single menu command will automatically join all the selected files into a single PDF file.
Combine PDFs also supports the use of encrypted passwords. With the password option activated users can restrict the viewing, copying and printing of any document. The app permits use of 40 bit, or extremely strong 128 bit encryption. Also supported are OS X Quartz filters which enable users to apply a variety of effects to both PDF and image files. Effects include variable compression level, lightness, gray tone, sepia, and black and white. A preview window allows the user to review all files and effects before producing the final PDF document, and full-screen preview is available.

Fixed preview window setting, so it's saved and honored on next app start. Added swedish translation.
Can use app store license in shareware version.
Added retina support and now a Cocoa application.
Added preference option to enable copying of annotations.

This new book provides working examples to modify memory, work with structures, and work with binary files. Eugene goes through Bitwise Operations, classic and new framework reading and writing of memory blocks, adding, editing, and removing data, and binary streams.
MemoryBlocks are difficult to master, and provide added speed and flexibility to your programs. Because this is a more challenging topic, there are few resources that are written and even less examples are available. This book provides information and examples on how to work through each solution whether you are a beginning or advanced Xojo programmer.
Introduces memoryblock addresses and data theory Learn about data assignment and retrieval
Techniques available for text encoding and decoding
Code for Windows, OSX, and Linux OSs
Understand solutions with strings and text
Create, save, and read binary mixed data type binary data files
Examples include both Classic MemoryBlock and New Framework MemoryBlock data types
And more...
There are more than 180 pages with over 55 example programs that encompass 10 Chapters. These examples were written and tested with Xojo 2017 r2.

http://valentina-db.com/ SQLBuilder_MTC
Kem Tekinay of MacTechnologies Consulting is proud to release SQLBuilder_MTC, a free, open-source module to build and prepare SQL statements.
SQLBuilder_MTC is pure Xojo code that lets you construct a SQL statement naturally while it assists with syntax through auto-complete. Thanks to the innovative "Conditional Where" feature, you can easily construct a query that varies depending on the values given.
SQLBuilder_MTC also introduces intelligence to the process. Because it links values directly to clauses, it can do things like substitute IS NULL for = where the given value is nil, or let you provide multiple values either in sequence (ParamArray) or as an array.
An example of how it's used:
dim rs as RecordSet = SQLBuilder_MTC.SQLSelect( "" ).From( "person" ).CondWhere( firstName <> "", "first_name", "ILIKE", firstName ).CondWhere( lastName <> "", "last_name", "ILIKE", lastName ).Where( "ssn", ssn ).OrderBy( "last_name, first_name" ).Prepare( db ).SQLSelect
SQLBuilder_MTC is database agnostic and will handle all binding and preparation for you.

LexingControl has been updated to version 3.5.6. It is a code editor for the Mac and Windows platforms. Its main feature is to colorize text according to the rules of programming syntax, such as C/C++, XojoScript, PHP, SQL, HTML, and so on.
The look and feel of the Editor is finally correctly appreciated by setting your project to be Hi-DPI aware. Fonts on Mac OS-X are crisp, not blurred, a feature that was already present two years ago in Scintilla, but never showed in applications build with Xojo versions before 2016r4. On Windows it showed the font quality already, yet scaling on Windows could not be accomplished until Xojo 2016r4.
Current users of the plugin can upgrade to this plugin with a minimum fee.

http://www.valentina-db.com Scripts Plugin 3.0
This version contains a novel class "Basic" with a different syntax (sample Basic files are included) compared to XojoScript/Xojo. It has the same functionality and capabilities, such as connecting it to a context. Basic can read multiple files using the keyword import. Sample projects will show how to implement interactive scripting with the Threadsafe class, with either XojoScript or Basic(Script). Interactive scripting requires a blocking thread in a Desktop application as is shown in sample projects, but not in a Console application, given that the Terminal waits for input in a while loop. More information is available once the plugin is installed in the Plugins Folder of Xojo. In the IDE, navigate to Help > Plugin References > Script. Note that many sample projects use the Lexing plugin, which is also available for downloading. Lexing is often as the Text Editor when dealing with programming code, but be assured Scripts plugin is not dependent on Lexing. These are free downloads, but if you plan to build applications with them, then get a license.

Clutch Identifies Xojo As Top Cross-Platform Development Tool
Clutch, a B2B ratings and reviews firm based in Washington, DC, has identified Xojo as a top cross-platform development tool. Their research findings were based on a number of factors, including breadth of platform features, ease of use, client reviews and market presence.
"People have always wanted faster ways to build software and that's why we created Xojo," commented Geoff Perlman, Founder and CEO of Xojo, Inc. "Our philosophy has always been to make development faster by offering native, cross-platform solutions. Xojo enables anyone to build for the platforms that are important to them by abstracting them from having to learn several languages."
"In the course of our research on the leading app development software products, we saw there was a real need for tools that could do more than simple app-builders, but weren't as complex as full-scale enterprise platforms," explained Chandler Dunklin, Research Analyst at Clutch. "We thought Xojo was a prime example of this kind of tool. This was confirmed by the client reviews we completed for Xojo that rated the platform a perfect 5 stars."

ArchiveXojo is the composite of several things. It is a version control system. It is a project documentation tool. It is a central code repository making it easy to find and reuse code created in any of your Xojo projects.
ArchiveXojo stores code, as it is being developed, into an independent text file. At intervals, you can bring the content of this text file into the ArchiveXojo database.
Storing all your code changes as you work, the use of ArchiveXojo removes some of the anxiety inherent in altering code. It is easy to "unravel" a bad decision.
ArchiveXojo is also a resource. All your old code from all your projects is available in one place for possible reuse in new projects. Refactoring old code and reusing old code is part and parcel of being a Xojo programmer. The ArchiveXojo database has all the tools of a database to find and grab bits of your previous work.

Snippery 1.2 adds Syntax Highlighting for HTML, JavaScript, PHP, and Xojo programming languages (more to come!); Color Schemes to customize the main editor window background, language keywords and other elements; self-update feature and a new Finder menu item that simplifies even more the creation of a new entry from the selected text into Snippery.
In addition, Snippery 1.2 also includes improvements for seven of previously existing features, and six bug fixes. For example, now it is possible to switch and copy the HTML rendering from the Preview Window.
Using Snippery you will save a lot of keystrokes and repetitive work thanks to the "Text Expander" feature! Define text templates, use placeholders, and "expand" them when you need to use them… typing only the text that really changes.
Write your snippets using Markdown syntax, apply style format, insert images, links, tables… and export them as PDF, Word, Pages, RTF or HTML files.
Preview your Snippets (with Markdown syntax, HTML or plain text) with a simple click of the mouse, switching from Preview Mode to Edition Mode on the Main Window… or use the dedicated Preview Window instead.
Save all your private and sensible data from prying eyes thanks to the strong Encryption feature! and, with the automatic Lock feature, all your snippets will be safe when Snippery detects no activity for the adjusted idle time; or force the Lock window with a simple keystroke every time you go away from your Mac!
Filter the listed snippets by the searching criteria you want: any, title, text, tags; for any of the included date presets (day, week, month and year) or by any date range you choose! Then Sort the matching results by creation date, modification date or title in ascending or descending order, and you are done!
