Visual DataFlex 2009 – 15.0 is released
June 16th, 2009
Highlights include:
- AJAX Library Support for Web Applications – Beginning with revision 2009, the AJAX library will be officially included and supported in Visual DataFlex. Plus The Visual DataFlex 2009/15.0 Web Application Server now provides JSON support.
- Visual DataFlex Studio Enhancements – Include Design time anchor support, improved breakpoint panel, easier text selection in Code Explorer, a new Go-back option to provide “go back” points in a file, faster loading and running of large applications in the Studio via a Dependency Cache rewrite, and Debugger improvements including Conditional Breakpoints.
- Runtime Improvements – Include new Array functions, new Pos and RightPos functions, and improved icon resource handling.
- New and Improved Classes – A number of new classes and improvements to existing classes have been implemented. New classes include Hyperlink, Scrolling container, and Splitter container. Tooltips are also now supported in classes.
- Library Enhancements – Improvements have been implemented that encourage the development and use of Visual DataFlex libraries within and across development teams.
My personal favorites are conditional breakpoints (yes!) and a simply hyperlink class (cLinkLabel).
