We created the Xojo Showcase to, well, showcase the broad variety of apps made in Xojo. Want to get more eyes on your latest Xojo app? Upload your Xojo-made app to the Xojo Showcase. Whether it’s a Desktop, Web, Mobile or Raspberry Pi app, commercial, personal or educational, anything developed in Xojo can be added. Upload screenshots, add a description of the app, point to a promotional video, include a direct link to your website, the app’s webpage and a download link. There isn’t an easier way to spread awareness of your latest Xojo app!

We are always looking for ways to help you be more successful using Xojo and the documentation is a critical component to your success. With that in mind, we have been working on updating Xojo’s documentation for a while now. This Xojo Documentation uses a completely new engine, offers improved searching and more to help you, and us, use it more effectively.
Comments closedThe Iterable and Iterator interfaces are a great way to simplify code. For example, what if you want to iterate through dates in a range?
Comments closedSometimes you want to display a message on your mobile screen, but also want it to disappear after a short period of time. A great way to do that is to use the MobilePopupMessage class.
Comments closedThe process of adding new controls to windows (or containers) at runtime has been greatly simplified. Instead of having to deal with control arrays, when you use Xojo 2021r3 or later you can call the new AddControl method on the DesktopWindow (or DesktopContainer) where you want to add the new control. Continue reading and I will show you how!
Comments closedAs a Xojo web developer probably you’re used to embedding controls inside others, like Rectangles or Containers; but I bet sometimes you don’t get the expected results. Read on to learn a quick fix that uses an extended method to correct a common problem you might run into when embedding menus.
Our vision for Xojo has always been to make it fast and easy for people of varying programming skill levels to create applications. The primary…

Comments closedMany times, when we create a desktop application which is doing huge processes, it happens that the responsiveness of our app can be interrupted for few seconds. As developers we need to avoid such scenarios because we want to keep the interaction between the user and the app constant while it’s in use. You have to imagine that our customer doesn’t have a developer’s mindset and will not wait more than 5 seconds if the app freezes. Threading is a great solution to these situations.
Comments closedYuck! It happens to everyone, from beginners to experienced developers: sometimes you’ll get stuck. Perhaps the code you’re working on just won’t do what you want or maybe you’re having trouble understanding code plucked from the internet. Talk to the duck. The rubber duck, that is. The term “rubber ducking” or “rubber duck debugging” is a software development technique where you explain the problem you are having to a rubber duck (or appropriate substitute). Often the act of explaining the problem to someone else, even if that someone is not real, can help you figure it out. It might be like inspiration struck.
