DecSoft (In thread: Custom components in the IDE)

Hello John,

Certainly, it's possible to create app plugins for DecSoft App Builder which can appear in the tools / controls palette. I order to achieve that you must read a couple of topics in the documentation, in particular, App plugins and Develop plugins .

Additionally, DecSoft App Builder includes out of the box various app plugins that you can use as you wanted, for example, in order to study it and / or use also as a possible template for your own app plugins. The linked topics are not the most easiest, however, if you have some doubts, I can always try to help you. You can find the included plugins in the Users Documents / DecSoft / AppBuilder.

P.S. Since AB uses Bootstrap CSS, note that there is an accordion component that may you want to take a look. On the other hand, remember that AB already incorporate the jQuery library, so, we no need to add it from the app Files manager.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2023.14)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2023.14 (03/09/2023)

* Add the new app.formatStr() method. This method is quite useful since allows to format a string easily. For example, it's possible to call the method with a string like "My name is {0} and my last name is {1}" and get a returned formatted string like "My name is John and my last name is Doe".

* Apply a background color and text color according to the used theme in the DecSoft BlockUI app plugin. This change means that the block UI message appears with the right background color and text color no matter if we are using the "light" theme color mode or the "dark" color mode in the app.

* Update the jQuery JavaScript library to the latest version. This means that the jQuery JavaScript library used in the app template has been updated, but also the jQuery JavaScript library used in the product "read me" file, the product About page, the product Welcome page, the product help and the "out of the box" app plugins helps.

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2023.12 (02/19/2023)

* Fixed a bug in the library used to work with the project XML files which causes that we can't properly retrieve previously saved data (in CDATA nodes, used, for example, to store the JavaScript code of the project) containing two closing square brackets without spaces: "]]". Sometimes it's possible to "simply" place some space between the brackets, but, the better way to solve this is the way in which this release act: using a fixed XML library which now have no problems to deal with the referred two closing square brackets.

This fixed bug is more important in our DecSoft App Builder product, however, since DecSoft HTML Compiler uses the same XML library to work with the project XML files.

DecSoft (In thread: New HTML Compiler 2023.2)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft HTML Compiler with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2023.2 (01/28/2023)

* Update the Microsoft Edge Runtime installer to the latest version. This update includes all the supported flavors, that is, the full installer for both 32 and 64 bits and the downloadable installer for both 32 and 64 bits.

* By some kind of "tradition" (probably from the arrival of XHTML long time ago) we start to use trailing slashes in void HTML elements, like images, breaks, horizontal rules, inputs, etc. That trailing slashes in such elements are not certainly required (talking about HTML), and, in fact, if we validate the HTML markup using the W3C validator, for example, we get an "info" reminder us that that trailing slashes for void elements are not really required in HTML documents. Well. We remove from our mind that "tradition" and therefore remove the referred trailing slashes from the DecSoft website and all our products. In particular, in this product we remove the referred trailing slashes from the HTML of the welcome page, about page, help pages and app samples.

* Update the Microsoft Edge Runtime installer to the latest version. This update includes all the supported flavors, that is, the full installer for both 32 and 64 bits. This installer are internally used by the DecSoft App Builder installer to properly prepare the IDE to use the Edge Runtime webview for the apps Debugger browser.

In particular, in this product we remove the referred trailing slashes from the HTML of the welcome page, about page, help pages, plugins help pages, app template, the proper app controls and finally the HTML produced by the app compiler.

2023.10 (01/26/2023)

* Enhance the app cache in order to properly remove cache files when we edit an event or modify a property of a control which is placed inside an app Frame view. Before this change we need to manually delete the entire cache if we modify an event or a property of a control if that control is inside an app Frame, which is something very annoying. This release properly remove the app cache files in the referred cases.

2023.7 (01/23/2023)

* Unfortunately we need to remove the SwipeLeft and SwipeRight events from the Table and the HTML controls. These events interfere with the horizontal scroll of these controls, and, we consider a priority to support (out of the box) the horizontal scroll and not the SwipeLeft and SwipeRight events. The app and views SwipeLeft and SwipeRight events still availables, and, on the other hand, since the Hammer JS library is included out of the box, if we need the SwipeLeft and SwipeRight events in the referred controls (but no need the horizontal scroll) it's always possible to attach that events on that controls "by hand".

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2023.6 (01/22/2023)

* Apply the app options max width and max height only for the app views and not app dialogs. This avoid certain dialogs screen mismatch and let the dialogs to appears always as expected: horizontal and vertically centered (from some releases ago).

* Add the new Fullscreen property to the app dialogs. This new property allows to show the app dialogs always in full screen, or to choose when to show the dialogs in fullscreen: at small, medium, large, extra large and very extra large screens. This new property is available at designtime and also at runtime, and, a new app.dialogFullscreen constant has been introduced with all the possible values for the property. The Quick Code List editor and the documentation has been updated to help with this property at runtime and to document it.

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2023.5 (01/18/2023)

* Modify the behaviour of the app.showAlert() method. Now, you can provide a kind for the alert but an empty title. If you provide a title for the alert, then the optional kind is applied to the alert's title. If you leave the alert title to an empty string, then the optional kind is applied to the alert's body. This is useful if we want an alert with some kind but without a title. Before this change the kind is only applied to the title but never to the alert's body.
