Phoenix, AZ (October 30, 2023) -- piDog Software has update DataView to Desktop API2
DataView has been updated to Desktop API 2 with the release of DataView 1.17!
This release updates DataView and piDogScrollingCanvas to be based on DesktopCanvas and also updates the DataView API to conform to the new naming conventions of API2, such as
CellBackgroundColor()becomingCellBackgroundColorAt()as well as moving from Constants to Enums so that values like AlignCenter become Alignments.Center.Also in this release:
Significant internal rendering improvements, in some cases leading to a 2x improvement in frame rendering rate during scrolling. Fixes for various rendering/scale issues involving BackdropImage and BackgroundPattern.
If you're still working with API1, don't worry. I'll still be maintaining an API1 version (currently v1.16.2.1) with bug fixes where possible.

GraffitiSuite is pleased to announce Release 50 for Xojo Desktop and Web! This released includes:
5 New Classes or Products 29 Additions
14 Bug Fixes
16 Various Changes
elease 50 brings one cool new class for both Web and Desktop: GraffitiW3W. This class allows you easily access the What3Words API from within your application, making it easy to supply your users with something readable rather than a typical pair of hard to remember latitude and longitude coordinates. We've also added the ability to leverage this component to GraffitiMapViewer for both Web and Desktop, so all you need to do is bring your own API key in many cases.
Desktop is also getting the new GraffitiModal. This class is super cool. You can easily add beautifully animated modals to any Xojo DesktopWindow, designed visually as a DesktopContainer!
For Web, we built out a Geolocation class that provides a more object-oriented and reliable approach to the built-in Xojo class. It's a simple thing, but it's useful.
Also for Web, the all-new GraffitiVideoRecorder! Now your users can capture video and audio on their devices and the result will be sent to your Xojo Web application! Great for inspection videos, but the possibilities are nearly endless.
