By default the built-in Web Browser that is used on Windows to show web pages uses the Internet Explorer 7 rendering engine. Which means the Xojo HTMLViewer and the ActiveX WebBrowser controls also use this older rendering engine.
Comments closedWhen doing a lot of manipulation to a TextArea’s contents under Cocoa, performance can suffer due to the underlying NSTextView doing work on layout and glyph selection. This can be sped up by telling the text view that you’re going to begin editing. You can do this by using a few Cocoa Declares.

Guest Post Tip: Formatted Text/Strings in Xojo
Writing long concatenated text in Xojo (or any programming language) tends to make the code difficult to read. Typically there is a block of code that has line extenders (_), a single line that goes on forever or a block of code that appends text to an existing variable. All are hard to read. And when you add SQL statements to the mix it can become difficult to easily see what you are trying to achieve.
I’ve started using Constants for this reason.

After months of work, your project is so fabulous that you need more developers. You’ve been using Git as your version control system and creating/merging branches to keep it all straight, but so far it’s just been for personal use. How do you coordinate with others to maintain some semblance of order?
Try the Gitflow Workflow.
