Microsoft Office for Windows can be controlled using something called the VBA Office Object Model. You can use Xojo to communicate with this object model so that you can control Word, Excel and PowerPoint from your Xojo apps on Windows.
Comments closedThe new local Language Reference viewer in Xojo 2016r1 supports some useful tricks in its filter field.
This new local Language Reference is enabled by default in new installations. You can also manually enable it in Preferences by choosing “Use built-in documentation” in the General tab.
Comments closedYou can set breakpoints in your Xojo code that cause the debugger to appear when the line of code with the breakpoint is reached. This is incredibly handy to help understand and test your code.

Comments closedXojo is similar to VB, Java and C#
The Xojo programming language is fully object-oriented and uses an object model that is quite similar to VB, Java and C#. If you are used those languages at all, you’ll be right at home with Xojo.
Available since 1998, Xojo was one of the first languages to use Automatic Reference Counting (ARC), something that other languages such as Swift and Objective-C now use. Xojo is type-safe and fully object-oriented making it easy to learn and use, but it also has advanced features such as namespaces, extension methods, exception handling, introspection, delegates and more.
Comments closedWe are always keen to see apps and projects that Xojo developers have made for their Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3 single-board computers. Especially since Xojo 2019r1 when building for Pi Desktop and Console is free with Xojo Pi!
I am pleased to announce some updates to our GPIO project to make it even easier to use more types of hardware in your Raspberry Pi projects.
Comments closedHave you ever needed or wanted a populated sample database with several related tables to play around with? Perhaps you are learning about databases and database design or perhaps you want to try out a new tool such as Xojo but want a pre-build database to start with.
Comments closedWikipedia defines Code Refactoring as:
the process of restructuring existing computer code â changing the factoring â without changing its external behavior. Refactoring improves nonfunctional attributes of the software.
Did you know that Xojo has a bunch of refactoring features that can help make this process more efficient?

The TSA was recently in the news for paying tens of thousands of dollars for a seemingly simple iPad app to direct people to different security lines. Now we obviously don’t know everything the app does, but it sure seems like it would be pretty straightforward to make such an app, especially using Xojo.
