DecSoft (In thread: frame did not update after changes in it)

Hello Michael,

If I am not wrong you are talking about the new generation of DecSoft App Builder. Then you made some changes in an app frame, and, that changes did not appear as expected when you run the app. If this correct? Certainly, can be a problem with the compiler cache. I will take a look around, Michael. Please, if you refer to other thing, don't hesitate to post it here. A possible work around is to move the frame control in which you shown the frame, since moving the control causes the compiler cache to be removed. But anyway I will take a look at this.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.61)

Hello to all,

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


2020.61 (02/04/2020)

* Added the Hide event for the app views and app dialogs. This event is fired when some app view is hidden in order to show another app view, or when an app dialog is closed / hidden to the user. This can be a good event to stop some possible running Timer control in both app views and app dialogs.

* Despiste the documentation, the "self" variable is not available in the app dialogs dblclickHandler, mouseupHandler, mousedownHandler, mousemoveHandler, mouseenterHandler, mouseleaveHandler and contextmenuHandler event handlers. This release fix this bug and set the "self" variable in such event handlers.

DecSoft (In thread: Catch the event of a link click outside html control)

Hello Amin,

No problem! I am happy to help when possible. :-)

DecSoft (In thread: Catch the event of a link click outside html control)

Hello Amin,

For sure something is "missing" here. I try to update the jQuery library and AngularJS to their latest versions without lucky. Certainly I understand the point of use the app Ready event instead of the view Show event. This is something that works as a charm in the current generation of AB, and, I use it in various apps. What happen in the previous generation of AB (in your discovered issue) is a mistery to me right now **, however, I find that we can use the app Ready event as you wanted, if we can use events delegation, that is, the below code, placed in the app Ready event, works as expected:

StartJS

  $('html').on('touchstart click', '#test_id', function (event) {
    if (event.type == "touchstart") $(this).off('click');
    window.App.Scope.test_function();
  });

EndJS

** Apparently what happen is more or less clear: when the app Ready event is fired (in principle, when the DOM is ready if the app is running in a browser), the app view HTML markup is not certainly ready to use, so, the elements that we wanted don't exists, and therefore we can't attach any event handler to it. Probably we must asume this "as is": we can't use the app Ready to attach events handlers, except if we delegate the events like in the above code. That... or use the view Show event, in which certainly the elements are ready to be used or manipulated.

DecSoft (In thread: Catch the event of a link click outside html control)

Hello Amin,

This disturb me a bit, because, I think this cannot be considered a solution, however, if we use a "setTimeout", even as smaller as 100 milliseconds, then the code also works in the app Ready event:

StartJS

 setTimeout(function () {

  $('#test_id').on('touchstart click', function (event) {

    if (event.type == 'touchstart') {
      $(this).off('click');
    }

    window.App.Scope.test_function();

  });

 }, 100);

EndJS

I say it's not a solution... because I did not see it elegant, since, maybe the solution must be to know what really is happen... however, can be taken as a possible workaround, if we can't move the code into the view Show event, then use the app Ready one, but with the above "setTimeout", which certainly works...

I am not very friend to use something like the "setTimeout" for cases like this... so... my recommendation is to use the view Show event if possible.

DecSoft (In thread: Catch the event of a link click outside html control)

Hello Amin,

Certainly I can see some "rare things" around your issue. For example, the app Ready is suposed to be fired once the DOM is ready (if the app is running in the browser) or when the device is ready (if the app is running in a Cordova platform like Android).

However, despiste the above, if we place a code like this in the app Ready event:

StartJS
  alert($('#test_id').length);
EndJS

... what we can see is a "0" (zero), means there is no "test_id" element, and therefore we can't attach any event handler on it. However, if you place such alert before your event code handler, you can see that the event is fired... something unuseful, because we can't place such alert there...

I made several tests, however, nothing works as expected (for this specific case) in the app Ready event. If you can move your code into the view Show event, then the things works as expected. So the question is, can you move the code into the view Show event, Amin?

Hello to all,

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


2020.60 (02/01/2020)

* Set the appropriate (and expected) TAB order for the app user functions new argument dialog, which helps to add and edit the app user functions arguments.

* The items of the app resources listbox and also the items of the app user functions listbox appear now alphabetically sorted, probably better than just the creation order.

* Fix a bug wihch causes that the hints of the app user functions (based in the functions arguments) appear wrong (always appear all of them!) and therefore become unuseful.

Hello to all,

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


2020.58 (01/21/2020)

* Now, when the internal debugger browser window is resized, what happen is that the app panel changes his dimensions, and not the developer console panel. This described behaviour is what we can expected, and not the contrary.

* Avoid the usage of the cache in the internal debugger browser. The cache can cause unexpected results, since if we change certain used image, we want to show it, and not a possible previous one cached by the browser.

Hello to all,

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


2020.57 (01/20/2020)

* Fix a bug related with the app functions cache which can cause some unexpected results: you can experience one of them when modify an app function but can't see that latest changes working when run the app. This release fix this cache related bug.

* If we don't place any code in the app VueJS Error or the app JavaScript error events, DecSoft App Builder places an "alert" which show the possible errors. Now that "alert" has been replaced with a "window.console.error", useful but not annoying.

* Avoid to open the internal debugger browser window if we launch the app from one of the external browsers toolbar icons. Before the previous release the internal debugger browser was placed docked or inside the IDE, but now the internal debugger browser window is an external program (for very good reasons) and we can and even must avoid to open it if what we wanted is to launch the app in an external browser.

Hello to all,

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


2020.54 (01/17/2020)

* The internal debugger browser has been enhanced and it's now based in Chromium (derived from Google Chrome) instead of Microsoft Internet Explorer 11. This allows to use ECMAScript 6 and even ECMAScript 7 JavaScript code in our apps without "syntax errors". Additionally, the internal debugger browser shows now a developer console, similar than in Google Chrome and others browsers. Enjoy it!

** Note that the support for ECMAScript 7 is very limited today (Only Google Chrome and Opera browsers) and that ECMAScript 6 is not supported by Internet Explorer 11. Our recomendation is to use ECMAScript 6 if needed, because is supported in all modern browsers, except Microsoft Internet Explorer 11. If you need to support IE11, your code must remain to be ECMAScript 5, which is supported by all modern browsers too.

DecSoft (In thread: Compiling Windows EXE)

Hello to all,

Certainly the Cordova Electron platform offer a lot of possibilities... take a look at how to open a file dialog to allow the user to select a file and then read that file and show the contents in an alert message:

// Apps compiled with Cordova Electron has the "nodeRequire" symbol available

if (typeof nodeRequire !== 'undefined') {

  const fs = nodeRequire('fs');

  const { dialog } = nodeRequire('electron').remote;

  dialog.showOpenDialog({

    properties: ['openFile']

  }, function (files) {

    if (!files) {
      return;
    }

    fs.readFile(files[0], function (error, data) {
      if (error) {
        alert(error);
        return;
      }
      alert(data);
    });
  });

};

See the above working like a charm in a Windows executable is very exciting, in my opinion. :-)

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.53)

Hello to all,

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


2020.53 (01/13/2020)

* The "nodeIntegration" option for the Cordova Electron platform is now set to "true" by default. This means we can use Node JS modules in our Cordova Electron build apps. Note, however, that the "require" JavaScript symbol is not available: instead you must use "nodeRequire" symbol. This is the way in which we can integrate the Node JS modules, since the "require" symbol can be established by other libraries like jQuery.
