In this tutorial I will show you how to create a Number class that can tell you when its value has been actually set, along with other methods to manage how it is used while demonstrating some common object-oriented techniques and features such as operator overloading. You’ll be able to create a Number from an Integer, Double or String.
Comments closedWhen developing iOS apps with Xojo you may spend a good amount of time debugging, whether in a iPhone, or iPad simulator or on a real device. With this in mind, let’s learn a good way to handle the Simulators list in Xcode and Xojo.
Comments closedIn my session at XDC 2023, I talked about ways to design your apps so you reuse code across platforms. The first project is JSONReader, so let’s dive in.
Comments closedComposing new controls using primitives is something you definitely want to explore. Let’s build a reusable vertical navigation, with animations, for your Xojo Web projects using the Atomic Design Methodology.
Comments closedStarting with Xojo 2023r1 you’ll find a new feature in Xojo’s Debugger panel that allows you to filter the objects and variables displayed, even between different project runs! This lets you stay focused on the more important objects and variables instead of scrolling through the list of all entries.

Comments closedUsing Xojo’s URLConnection to communicate with web services is pretty straightforward. But testing the actual REST API calls can get tricky. To make it easier to test and experiment with REST API calls, Paul created a app in Xojo for doing just this. He called it RESTy in its original format back in 2015. You can download the updated project here built with Xojo 2022r4.1.
Comments closedThere are some situations where you may need a range of numbers that is equally spaced. For example, when given a minimum and a maximum value within which a set of numbers that need to be equally spaced. This is useful if you are designing an UI control displaying “ticks” or for the axis of a graphic chart displaying cartesian values. Continue reading to see a technique to do just this.
