The Iterable and Iterator interfaces are a great way to simplify code. For example, what if you want to iterate through dates in a range?

Sometimes 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 closedIn this tutorial we will see how to retrieve the file icon using macOS Quick Look technology and the regular file type associated with the selected file, for example JPEG, MOV, PDF, RTF, etc. Continue reading to learn how to achieve this using Declares.
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 closedIf you have been using Xojo, you may be used to adding Controls at runtime using Control Sets. You may not know it but beginning with Xojo 2021r3, there is a better way. Using the new Desktop Controls introduced in Xojo 2021r3, you can add Controls to a DesktopWindow at runtime using AddControl, just like you do with Xojo Mobile and Web projects.

Xojo has an extensive testing period where actual users test a pre-release version with their projects but if you are wondering what kind of testing we do internally before each pre-release of Xojo, we have quite a bit of automated testing processes. There are over 400 tests just for the compiler alone. Already, we are approaching 300 tests for our Android framework. In total, across all supported platforms, there are over 2500 automated tests.

If 2020 was a year of change for Xojo, 2021 was the year many of the pieces fell into place. From API 2.0, an Android pre-release, Apple Silicon native IDE, building and remote debugging 64-bit macOS apps from Windows and Linux and dark mode on Windows, 2021 saw a lot of hard work behind the scenes come to fruition for Xojo.
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.
There seem to be a lot of misconceptions about what the MVPs do. Some say it’s just a shiny pin on our lapels, others expect us to be Xojo’s de facto QA. So, what’s expected of us and what do we really do?
Comments closedBeing more efficient means we spend more time on making Xojo better for you. Feedback, our bug and feature tracking system, is a place where we spend a lot of time interacting with you and thus it’s something we very much want to improve. We have three improvements in mind. One will be made today and the other two will come sometime next year.
