NEW CONTROLS

n e w f e a t u r e W D W B W M

New “Spreadsheet”

control

Spreadsheets are some of the most commonly used businesstools, The new version 20 of WINDEV offers a new type of con-trol: the Spreadsheet control.The “Spreadsheet” control is a native control: it doesn’t requirea spreadsheet software to be installed on the computer (andtherefore no license to manage).With this new control, no more back-and-forth between appli-cations, no more external software to manage!

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:All the flexibility of a spreadsheet directly in your applications.


Using the Spreadsheet

control

The end user can enter data and formula directly in the newSpreadsheet control of WINDEV 20. The formulas are recalcu-lated automatically: each time a cell is modified, the spread-sheet recalculates and updates the worksheet.Data can also be injected by programming, from other windowcontrols, variables or data file items.As a full fledge control, the Spreadsheet control is totally inte-grated with the rest of the application.The data entered as well as the calculation results can be useddirectly by the window, like with any control.

VideoConference

control: overview

First, let’s review the difference between a “Video-Conference” control, a (simple) “Camera” controland the “Multimedia” control.The multimedia control is used to play a video com-ing from a file.The camera control lets you display live video fromthe webcam on the computer where the applica-tion is installed.The videoconference control lets you display thevideo from a webcam on another computer, localor remote.

A window containing 2 VideoConference controls,one for the local webcam and another one for thewebcam of a remote computer lets you create avideo conference!

Version 20 of WINDEV offers the “VisoConference” type ofcontrol.Among the uses for this control:• video conferencing of course,• video + audio monitoring• audio monitoring only• telephony• ...An extended use of the control could be to perform video mon-itoring of premises.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Your own easy video conferencing!


New VideoConference

control: automatic

The VideoConference control of WINDEV 20 lets you link twoapplications with an audio and video channel.End users can see each others and talk live from their applica-tions.In a classic application, each end user connected to the videoconference see the image from his own webcam as well as theimages of the other participants.The control can also be used in “audio” only mode, or in“video” only mode.The computers linked via video conference must have a micro-phone and/or a webcam.Thanks to this control, you can very easily develop collaborativework applications. The VideoConference control is compatible with all the versionsof Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10...Very important and facilitating factor: the new VideoConferencecontrol doesn’t require the installation of any additional programs(no codec, no plugin, ...) on the end user’s computer.An application using VideoConference controls works instantly,without any special configuration or installation to perform.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:No installation to perform, no codec to install.


VideoConference

control: How to connect

two applications?

The programming of the VideoConference control is done viathe Stream WLanguage family of functions.Connecting two applications with the new VideoConferencecontrol in version 20 is very easy: only two steps are needed. • 1: The first application “sets” the connection using the

StreamConnect WLanguage function to start the connec-tion.

• 2: The second application is notified of the connection re-quest in the Connection request process of the control.The application decides which action to execute: make thePC ring, accept the connection using the StreamAcceptWLanguage function....

There is nothing else to manage. Synchronization, frame loss,encoding and compression of the videos, transport layer man-agement, etc... are automatically managed by WINDEV 20.A complete example (with source code) of video conferencing isprovided with WINDEV 20.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Easy programming

EVOLUTION OF THE“PVT” CUBE CONTROL


PVT: major evolutions

In version 20, the PVT (Pivot Table, or rOlap Cube) benefits froma large number of evolutions and AAF that where initiated byend user requests (often decision makers).The PVT Cube control is a major asset for applications developedwith WINDEV. It is normal that it evolves constantly to offer fea-tures expected by end users.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Decision makers are happy!


Inverting the dimensions

(criteria) of a PVT Cube

Analysis by country: for each country, we can analyze the productssold/Inverting the “products” and “countries” dimensions:

Analysis by product: for each of the products, we can analyze the distribu-tion per country

Among the new features offered, you can invert two display di-mensions of the table.The end user can move a criteria from one axis to the other.For example, instead of grouping products by Color then byMaterial, the user can group them (in one click) by Materialthen by Color. This way the user can analyze the data accordingto his most important criteria.Significant advantage in terms of performance: this operation isinstantaneous and doesn’t require a recalculation of the Cube.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The end users can instantaneously reorganize the data in theirPVT


Pivoting a PVT Cube

In this example, it was difficult to compare the evolution of the Gross Rev-enue by country. / Pivoting the PVT: it is much easier to see the evolution

by country, by year after the rotation

In version 20, the end user can pivot the PVT: switch rows andcolumns, and present the data in the orientation that make themost sense for the analysis to perform.The “criteria inversion” and “pivoting” AAF for the PVT controllet the decision maker compare the data the way he wants,without having to program anything.

PVT: Multi-selection

In version 20, the end user can select several columns or rowsat the same time (standard use of the Ctrl and Shift keys). Thanks to this new feature, all the selected columns can bedeleted, grouped or ungrouped in one click.The end user can also select several cells, in order for instanceto change their background color to highlight them.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Finally the multi-selection!


Display all the

rows/columns

(even the blank ones)

In older versions, when a column or a row didn’t contain data,it wasn’t displayed.In version 20, an option lets you display all the rows and all thecolumns, even the ones that don’t contain any data. This allows for an easier comparison of the data. This option is available per dimension.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Symmetrical view of the data


Column deletion

In version 20, the end user can delete columns or rows.Calculations (totals, mean, ...) are recalculated.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The end user decides what information is pertinent for the calcula-tions


PVT: data from

SQL Server, Oracle,

MySQL ...

(Fill by programming)

Sometimes data come from heterogeneous sources (SQL Server,Oracle, MySQL, etc.) or they can’t be extracted directly from thedatabase.For example, data extraction requires filtering or consolidatingprogramming operations.In these cases, we need to fill the PVT control by programming.Now you can do it with version 20: simply define and fill anarray of structures containing the data and define the bindingof the Pivot Table control with this array of structuresBenefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Lets you use the PVT control with other data sources than aHFSQL database


PVT: cell style

The same PVT cell can contain several pieces of data: for exam-ple a Quantity and a Gross Revenue.In version 20, it is now possible to customize the style of eachcell element: color, font, background color, separation line ...

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Complete customization.


PVT: Eye-Magnet

(Conditinal formatting)

on cells

The “Eye-Magnet” is a standard feature of the WINDEV editcontrols. Eye-Magnet lets you modify the appearance of a con-trol automatically based on a condition (this feature is alsocalled “conditional formatting” by other software).For example, Eye-Magnet can turn to red the cells of a PVTwhose values are negative.The Eye-Magnet feature can also be used on the cells of a Pivottable control.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The end user benefits from the Eye-magnet (conditional format-ting) in the PVT, and there’s nothing to program.


PVT: A caption for each

cell data

A PVT cell can contain several values.What do these values correspond to?To help the end user, in version 20, the PVT can display a cap-tion for each value.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The end user knows what he reads!


PVT cell: numbers,

durations, dates ...

Prior to version 20, a PVT cell only accepted numbers.In version 20, a PVT cell accepts data of any type: a duration, adate,...You can also use display masks adapted to the cell’s content.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The PVT displays all the types of data


PVT: Cancelation

A new cancellation button is available in the calculationprogress bar. The user has the ability then to cancel a PVT calcu-lation.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The end user can interrupt a calculation.


PVT: Find AAF (Ctrl + F)

In version 20, the find AAF (Automatic Application Feature) isnow available.An end user can perform searches inside the cells or in the titlesof a Pivot Table.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Easily finding a piece of data


PVT: AAF: coloration,

with memorization of the

last choice

The AAF for coloring the cell background in the PVT offers bydefault the previously chosen color: this avoid extra operations.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:A very useful little feature!


PVT: AAF: addition of

week/month/quarter

In a PVT, the developer may not have thought of the right pe-riod for the end user.For example, if a PVT only offers months, an end user may wantto display a more global grouping by quarter or semester.In version 20, a new AAF offers this ability to the end user.The periods offered are:• Year• Half-year• Quarter• Months• Fortnight• Week• DayBenefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Configuration by the end user

CHART


New type of Chart:

Sunburst chart

WINDEV already offers a very large number of charts.A new type of chart is being introduced in version 20 ofWINDEV.It is the “Sunburst” chart.The sunburst chart is a pie chart containing several levels of hi-erarchical data. For example, the chart presents data for the entire world.The first level corresponds to the data grouped by continents. The second level corresponds to the data grouped by country...A sunburst chart contains as many levels as needed.There are two advantages to this type of chart:• On one hand it allows concise and organized display of a very

large number of data• On the other hand, this type of chart is interactive: clicking a

section lets you get details about the sub-level of this section.

New sunburst chart control

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Represent complex data in a very visual way

Navigation in the

sunburst chart control

The new Sunburst chart control in WINDEV 20 is an interactivecontrol.The end user can click a section of the chart to see the detailsabout this section: the clicked section becomes the center ofthe chart, and around it the sub-levels are represented.And so onClicking in the center of the chart moves up one level.The display of the detail is automatic: it is managed by the con-trol.An animation visualizes the transition between the chart levels.The value of the data hovered by the mouse is displayed in atooltip.By default, a radial color gradient by level is automatically man-aged.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Drill down the details of structured data


filling the Sunburst

chart

The Sunburst chart is filled and handled via the new WLan-guage family of functions, grSunburst. The chart is initialized based on the same principle as the Tree-view control: the data is organized hierarchically.The color of the sections are automatically defined, but you canalso specify it by programming.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Easy initialization


printing the Sunburst

chart

Reports created in version 20 supportSunburst charts. Therefore it is easy toprint this chart.Benefit provided by this new feature:Easy printing

access to stored

data from any type

of chart

In version 20, new WLanguage func-tions let you re-read the initialization val-ues of a chart.For example in a bar chart, the applica-tion can retrieve the value from theindex.

This allows you for instance to re-read datawithout having to store it, or to perform

calculations such as finding the min or max.Function example: grGetData, grScatterGetDataXY, gr-StockGetData, ...Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Access data without having to store it.


Charts: new look for

tooltips

In a chart, when the cursor hovers a piece of data, a tooltipcomes up. By default, the tooltip contains the value and captionof the series and the category. The content can be customized.In version 20, the tooltip improves its presentation:• the tooltip comes up instantly for better readability• the tooltip’s border uses the same color as the series so it can

be instantly associated with it visually• the tooltip is semi-transparent so the chart is visible under-

neath.• an arrow points precisely to the targeted point

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Simplifies the reading of a chart’s data.


Chart crosshair

In a line type chart, it is often hard to see the value on the axesfor a point that is far from these axes.Thanks to the new reading crosshair feature now included withall charts, the end user can know precisely the value beingpointed.

All the charts (with axes) in WINDEV 20 automatically benefit

Background

recompilation

Nothing is more frustrating for a developer than having to waituntil a project has finished compiling before being able to con-tinue working on it. In version 20, no need to wait anymore. When is a recompile started? For example, when a project is opened for the first time on anew computer, it must be completely recompiled.In older versions, this recompilation meant you couldn’t use theenvironment until it was done.In version 20, the recompilation happens in the background,and so the developer can start using the editor right away.WINDEV 20 offers you a new project compilation mode in thebackground.When this mode is activated, the developer keeps control of theeditor and can remain productive.

A click is all it takes to enable the background compilation.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:In version 20, no more waiting while compiling.


a UI window + a code win-

dow displayed simultane-

ously on the screen

In version 20, the environment editors can be torn from themain window.A common use is the simultaneous editing of a UI window andits code.The code editor will be detached from the environment, anddisplayed side by side, on a second screen for instance.Having both the code and the UI in front of your eyes makesyou more productive!You can also detached the project dashboard to keep it alwaysvisible.

A control can have a border.The control borders are improved in version 20 of the windoweditor.A large number of new parameters are being introduced:• you can define a different thickness, color, style for each of

the 4 border lines• rounded corner can be define for each corner.• when the color of each rounded border line is different, a gra-

dient is automatically applied.The border is edited either via the “7-tab” technology, or it ismodified directly via the mouse in the window editor.

Borders are becoming very sophisticated in WINDEV 20

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:With the new borders, your controls become works of art!


tabulation order

recalculated for each

modification

Currently, the window editor recalculates the optimum naviga-tion order for the window controls when the developer uses thefollowing option: Ribbon of the window editor, Naviga-tion..Define automatically option. The developer has to think of it, otherwise the navigation be-tween the controls via the TAB key may be surprising!In version 20, the recalculation of the tabulation order is doneautomatically after each addition, deletion and especially whenmoving a control, changing tab ... Of course the older mode is still available.

The keyboard navigation order is recalculated automaticallyafter each addition or movement

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Moving between controls with the TAB key is logical for the enduser

Using anchor when

resizing

A group of controls can be resized in a single operation, usingthe anchor logic

In older versions, in the window editor, the resizing of a groupof controls in multi-selection didn’t resize the entire group.In version 20, all the selected controls are resizable, respectingtheir anchoring.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Fewer operations to perform when resizing controls


Internal window template

An internal window is a part of a window intended to bereused in other windows.In version 20 of WINDEV, it becomes possible to apply one ormore window templates on an internal window. It is then possible to create internal windows based on thesetemplates.This is very useful when creating widgets for the Dashboardcontrol, or to share the presentation of the internal windows.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Automating common elements between several internal windowsallows for better reusability in projects


Controls spread!

In edit mode in the WINDEV 20 window editor, three newalignment options are being introduced.These options let you automatically define the largest possible

size for a control (table, scheduler, calendar,...) when it is in-cluded in a UI. The new commands “Spread in width”, “Spread in height”,and “Spread” calculate the maximum size that the control cantake in the window, and resize it instantly.Use example: in this mode, a developer sets a control in themiddle of the window, and the control automatically takes upall the available space, aligning with the top left corner! (pre-sentation margins are respected, of course).Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:No more struggle!


Improvement to a

window’s diff: style diff

Window comparison gets richer in version 20. It is now possible to also list the style differences between twowindows. Of course you can automatically apply one or more of the re-ported differences.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Window comparison is even more precise


GUI error: dark text on

dark (or light text on

light) flagged

The WINDEV 20 window editor automatically detects the pres-ence of a dark colored text on a dark background. A UI error flags the text as it may not be readable. Similarly the editor detects a light text on a light background.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Color blind people see life through rose colored glasses

GUI error: controls with

identical tooltip flagged

In the window editor, when performing a copy and paste of acontrol, the tooltip is duplicated, and the developer doesn’t al-ways remember to modify the content of the tooltip for thenew control.

In version 20, the window editor automatically flags two con-trols that have the same tooltip by generating a UI error.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The end of the irrelevant tooltip


Optimization of the

update speed for

templates

The update speed for window templates has been optimized inthe case of multilingual projects.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:It’s always nice to save time


Copy/paste controls:

optimizing the image copy

The copy/paste feature in the window editor takes into accountthe images used by the control: background image, borderimage,...The images found in an external directory are copied in theproject.With the older versions of the editor, the images found in asub-directory of the project were still copied to the project di-rectory. In version 20 these images are not copied anymore: de-velopers keep things organized their way!Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Preserve the organization


New keyboard shortcuts

for Drag & Drop

Four new keyboard shortcuts in the window editor make Drag& Drop easier.While moving a control via Drag & Drop, the follow keys act as:• SPACE switch the image of the moved control from the “out-

line” mode to the “preview” mode. The preview mode dis-plays the image of the moved control, the outline mode onlydisplays its outline, which is useful for large controls such astables or treemaps.

• C move the control’s point attached to the mouse. Successivepushes alternate between the initial point, the center and thefour corners. This is very useful to place a control very pre-cisely.

• P lets you move a control (for example on top of a tab) with-out affecting its lineage (here, the control will not becomepart of the tab, therefore the control will remain visible re-gardless of the tab).

• TAB displays or hides the editor tooltip, which is useful whenthe control is small and must placed very precisely.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:With the new keyboard shortcuts, become a UI Ninja: quick, pre-cise, efficient


Centralizing the code for

updating a window’s con-

trols

The new Update the display process lets you group thecode that updates the window controls: control content, state(visible, grayed, ...), caption to update...This process will be started asynchronously by calling the Win-UpdateRequest function.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Make centralizing code easier

REPORT EDITOR


Print preview: Ribbon

The print preview in WINDEV 20 has a ribbon to offer the enduser a better print configuration.The ribbon makes setting up a print job a lot more friendly.

A tab groups the most common commands: zoom, crosshair,navigation in the report preview ...

A pane on the ribbon lets you choose and configure the printer:black and white or color, A3 or A4, portrait or landscape...

A pane groups the export features: Word, Excel, PDF, Emailwith their parameters

A pane groups all the annotation functions.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The ribbon brings a more modern and user-friendly interface


Crosshair in the preview:

to make reading easier

The print preview feature in version 20 offers a crosshair target.This crosshair makes reading tables with a lot of data easier.When the end user points to a piece of data with the crosshair,it is easier to find the row and column associated with thatpiece of data, such as a title for instance.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Aim right!


Faster preview

The print preview generation for large documents has been ac-celerated in version 20.The gain is about 20%.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Faster preview


Report: reinitialization of

the page numbers

The report editor offers a preset control that lets you automati-cally display the page number and the number of pages.In version 20, it becomes possible to trigger the reinitializationof this type of control, during a break for instance, or at the endof a print job.This is a very useful new feature, for example when you print aset of invoices and you want of course to number the pages ofeach invoice independently.The iResetNbPages WLanguage function is also available totrigger the reinitialization by programming.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Number as you wish


Export to Word: tables

too

A report may contain tables.When exporting to Word a report containing tables, these ta-bles are exported in “Word Table” format.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Tables remain tables in Word


Report: vertical anchors

in reports

In version 20, it becomes possible to define the vertical anchorof a block. This way it is easy to create a report in A4 format and to planblocks that will get bigger when printing in a different format.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Reports adapts better to different print formats


Report: 9-image mode

The “9-image” mode becomes available on the image typecontrols in reports. This mode lets you define the behavior of an image in case thereport is resized. The use of the “9-image” mode in reports follows the same op-erating mode as in windows.Simply visually define the parts of the image that make up themargins.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Change the format of the reports, the images remain perfect

Customizing Gantt,

Organizer and Scheduler

reports

The Gantt report is a special report used to print data comingfrom a Gantt chart.WINDEV 20 lets you define an internal report to customize thedisplay of a task in a Gantt chart.This concept is also available for the Organizer and Schedulerreports.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Customize!


Form report: modification

of the background image

or pdf

In version 20, it becomes possible to change the backgroundimage or PDF of a form report via programming.It also now possible to activate or hide the display of this imagevia programming.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Control your reports’ background.


Improvement of a report

diff: style diff

Report comparison is enhanced in version 20. You can now list the style differences between two reports. This new feature lets you carry modifications over between tworeports.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Your reports have style

DATA MODEL EDITOR (DATA SCHEMA)


Analysis: Diff and branch

carry over

In version 20, it becomes possible to compare two versions ofan analysis and to report the modifications between these twoversions.It is possible to report the modifications performed on:• the description of a data file• the descriptions of items• the links between data files• the cardinality of the links• the integrity constraints• the database connections• the full-text index• the description of the analysis.The development of branches for your applications is greatlysimplified for modifications performed to the data structure.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Easily carry over modifications to the analysis.


Analysis:

new, more compact,

storage format

(70% gain)

In version 20, a new internal storage format is available foranalyses.The “.ana” directory containing the files that describe theanalysis is simplified and compacted. In the case of a large size project, the number of files present inthe analysis directory decreases 60%, and the storage size70%.One of the consequences of these gains is that checking out ananalysis from SCM is much faster.This new format becomes the default format for new analyses.An option lets you activate this format for existing analyses.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The analysis directory becomes more compact


composite keys: tooltip in

the project pane

In version 20, the project explorer displays a tooltip when hover-ing a composite key.This tooltip contains the components of the composite key.There’s no need to open the data model editor, then the data

The project explorer displays the data files of the analysis.The data file description can be opened from the project ex-plorer. The data model editor opens, positioned on the corre-sponding data file (treeview as well).Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Proper positioning from the get go

QUERY EDITOR


Queries: limit the results to

“TOP -my parameter-”

It is already possible to ask a query to only return a specificnumber of rows (records): the first 50, the first 100, the last200, ... In version 20, you can pass as a parameter the maximum num-ber of results you want.The parameter can be a literal value (return the first 5 results) ora percentage (return 10% of the results).Being able to change this parameter at run time is useful for in-stance in a Web site, when the site lets the user present the re-sults by sets of n rows.

SELECT TOP {pMaxCustomerNbr}Customer.CustomerID AS CustomerID,Customer.LastName AS LastName,Customer.FirstName AS FirstName,Customer.Email AS Email,Customer.RewardPoints AS RewardPoints

FROM Customer

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Top queries!

SCM (TEAM WORK)


Analysis: branch copy

In version 20, the comparison between two branches of a proj-ect offers to display the differences between the data models,and lets you carry these differences over from one branch to theother.(see new feature 075)Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Easier branch management.


Code comparison:

detailed display

When displaying the differences between two versions of aprocess, it can be difficult to see what was changed when theline is a little long or when the change only involves a few char-acters (a value replaced by another one for instance).In version 20, the display of the differences evolves: the modi-fied line is colored, and the differing characters are also colored(with another color).Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Differences jump at you.

CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION(SOFTWARE FACTORY)


Maximum duration OF

an Action Plan

In version 20, it becomes possible to set the maximum amountof time for running an Action Plan in the Software Factory. This new feature improves security: if one of the Action Plan

DEVELOPMENT METHOD

CODE/UI SEPARATION: MVPMODEL - VIEW -PRESENTER

One strength of WINDEV is to develop from the UI window: thecontrols are created, and the code is then written directly in thecontrols.This method guarantees fast development, and easy mainte-nance. Another method, originating from the object oriented program-ming, consists in developing separately the application’s inter-face and code.This architectural pattern is called “model-view-presenter” (forthe specialists, this is a derivative of the “model-view-con-troller” MVC pattern).Version 20 of WINDEV also supports the “model-view-presen-ter” method.


Benefit of “model-view-

presenter” (MVP)

The “model-view-presenter” architecture lets you separate thecore code from the interface (windows).This architectural approach allows for a structured object pro-gramming, but requires a higher level of abstraction.This approach “forces” the separation of the code from the UIfor the entire window and doesn’t allow you (theoretically) todevelop a window without having structured the processes be-forehand. This approach is intended to facilitate the long-term develop-ments.The traditional programming method is, of course, still availablewith WINDEV.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:You choose!


MVP: what’s behind the

acronym

M: Model. This is the class that contains the business data, aswell as the business logic. V: View. This is the window with its controls, its local proce-dures, processes...P: Presenter layer. It groups all the processes needed to displaythe data, the layout as well as the button processes ...Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:You know everything about the MVP


MVP RAD

In order to facilitate MVP developments, two new RAD patternsare being introduced:• MVP form RAD• MVP Table RAD.Depending on the structure of the data file, the MVP RAD gen-erates the 3 MVP layers: Model, View, Presenter.The folowing are generated:• a class for the model, with the data access layer• a class for the presentation layer• the window corresponding to the view

This RAD pattern also allows you to familiarize yourself with thisprogramming architecture.

Example of code generated by RAD

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The object RAD!


Model-View-Presenter:

How to easily use it?

With WINDEV 20, manually (without using RAD) building an“MVP” UI is easy for OOP adepts.Here are the steps:

0 8 7

0 8 8

0 8 9

0 9 0

0 9 1


• create a class that corresponds to the model, and that con-tains the business data

• create a class that corresponds to the presenter layer and thatuses the association (new feature #113) with the model cre-ated in the previous step

• in the presenter class, if needed, you can overload members,and add formatting properties, behaviors ...

• create the window (the “view”) in the WINDEV editor, asusual

• instantiate the presentation class and the model in the globaldeclaration code of the window at the window’s level

• at the control level define the binding to the presentation

layer (which exposes the model members and the overloads)• enter the code (for example SourceToScreen) that updates

the controls in the “update the display of the window”process (see new feature #63)

• for controls that trigger actions (buttons, ..) enter the code ofthese controls that call methods of the presentation class.

This is the “manual” method for implementing “MVP”. Let’s re-member though that the “MVP RAD” automatically managesall these steps!Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Complete control for the OOP specialists


UI ARCHITECTURE - OOP MODEL-VIEW-PRESENTER (MVP)

All the developmentmethods are available withWINDEV 20.

WLANGUAGE


Internal Procedure

An internal procedure is a procedure defined inside a process;for example, in the process of a control (button click for in-stance), in the process of a window, in a local or global proce-dure,…This internal procedure can only be called from the processwhere it was defined. The internal procedure has access to local variables of theprocess that contains it.This is an elegant and simple syntax to define the equivalent ofthe lambda functions. In particular, an internal procedure avoidsdefining global procedures that serve only locally.You can define several internal procedures in a process.You can define an internal procedure inside an internal proce-dure.You can also pass an internal procedure to a function (that ex-pects a procedure as parameter)

Internal procedure use example: integrated callback

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:A better code readability


Named parameters:

syntax 1

In version 20, you can call a procedure and specify its parame-ters by their names.For example, for a procedure whose prototype is:PROCEDURE ProcessString(InputString, Option=12, String2=””)

the developer now has a new call syntax at his disposal.You can specify the name (and the value) of only the parame-ters used:ProcessString(String2:”Bingo”, InputString:”my string”)

In this call, the optionparameter is not specified (it takes thedefault value), and the order for passing parameters is different.The parameter order is not important anymore.This syntax is especially useful when a procedure expects a largenumber of optional parameters, and only a few ones have avalue.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Safer procedure calls.


Named parameters:

syntax 2 (better?)

In version 20, the call to a procedure can also be done by firstfilling its parameters in a readable way, then triggering the call.

For example, to call the procedure:PROCEDURE ProcessString(InputString, Option = 0, Comple-

mentString = “”)

the call can be made as follows:ProcessString.InputString = “my string”ProcessString.ComplementString = “string 2”ProcessString()

Like with syntax 1, the optional parameters that are not neededcan be ignored.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Total readability.


Parallel programming:

don’t worry about

threads anymore

WINDEV 20 revolutionizes parallel programming. Recent processors have become more powerful by increasingthe number of cores available.To take advantage of this evolution, application must now em-brace parallel processing.Version 20 of WINDEV provides instantly useful tools to facili-tate parallel processing:• the type: ParallelTask• the family of functions:Ptxxx• the keyword: MyTaskThis parallel programming method is mainly useful for the“process” type operations.Thanks to the new version 20, an application can run in parallela large number of independent procedures without worryingabout low level thread management: synchronization, poolmanagement, ...Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Take advantage of the power of the new processors

new ParallelTask type

Traditionally, parallel processing has been programed usingthreads.Programming an application that executes a lot of threadswhose results depend upon each other can be quite compli-cated. The application must control the number of threads executed inparallel in order not to overload the computer, synchronize op-erations, ...In version 20, the new advanced type ParallelTask is being in-troduced to simplify thread management.A ParallelTask type variable allows you to:• specify the procedure to execute in a task• provide the procedure’s parameters• retrieve the return value of the task• specify whether the task uses the database (whether it uses

HFSQL contexts)• specify whether the task accesses UI elements• ...Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Benefit from the multitasking power without having to managethreads.



Sequencing of Parallel

Tasks (Continuation)

A “continuation” is a task that will be executed at the end ofone or more tasks.Thanks to the “continuations”, the developer doesn’t have tomanage the wait for a running process in a thread or the syn-chronization of the ending of several threads before starting anew operation.When several tasks are running in parallel, you often need tosynchronize them.For example, a task can only be executed when a set of prelimi-nary tasks have completed.To organize the execution of parallel tasks, version 20 offersnew functions:• PTExecuteAfter: the task will be executed when the speci-

fied tasks is done.• PTExecuteAfterOne: the task will be executed when one of

the specified tasks is done.• PTExecuteAfterAll: the task will be executed when all the

specified tasks are done.• ...Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Easily orchestrate the execution of a succession of tasks


PDF File: page extraction

A PDF document can have several pages.In version 20, the PDFExtractPage function lets you extract a

given page from the document, and returns an image of thispage.This image can be used in a window, a report, an email, ...Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Always be on the right page


Simplified parameter

syntax

When declaring a procedure, you can typecast the parameters.For example: PROCEDURE ProcessString(sInput is string)

This precision allows WINDEV to check as early as compilationtime that the type of parameter passed is the expected type.In version 20, this syntax is lighter. “ is” becomes a “comfort”word and can be omitted.The declaration becomes:PROCEDURE ProcessString(sInput string)

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:A little feature for developers with coding habits: code faster


New syntax for the

“Dialog” function

The Dialog function lets you display a “rich” message box: thetext and the buttons can be configured without having to cre-ate a specific window in the project.The Dialog function evolves in version 20. In the older versions, a wizard would open for entering the textand caption for the buttons.A new syntax in version 20 lets you directly specify an array ofstrings that contains this information.sResponse is string

sResponse=Dialog( “The order form has been gener-ated”, [ “Send by email”, “Send by fax”, “Do notsend” ] )

It becomes possible then to create dialog boxes directly by pro-gramming.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Clear code for clear boxes


New syntax of the “Input”

function

The WLanguage Input function benefits from the same evolu-tion as the Dialog function where you can directly specify thecaption of the displayed buttons in the code.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Increased clarity.

New advanced type

“httpRequest”

The powerful HTTPRequest function expects a large number ofparameters:In order to make it easier to pass these parameters, the optionsneeded for sending an HTTP request can now be grouped intothe new WLanguage advanced type httpRequest.Also, for sending and receiving, in an httpRequest type vari-able, you can specify:• a progress bar control that will display the completion per-

centage of the request• or a callback procedure and the frequency at which this pro-

cedure will be called.Here’s the code in version 20, much more compact and read-able:MyRequest is httpRequest

MyRequest.URL = “”MyRequest.Header[“AuthToken”] = “AB123456CDE789F0”MyRequest.User = “admin”MyRequest.Password = “pwd”

// Request executionMyResponse is httpResponse = HTTPSend(MyRequest)

IF MyResponse.StatusCode = 403 THENError(“Access denied”)

ELSE// The identification was successful

sMyToken is string = MyResponse.Header[“AccessToken”]...

END

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Clearer call


5 new options for HTTP

requests

In version 20, 5 new options for building HTTP requests are of-fered in the new advanced type httpRequest: • ability to specify the HTTP verb (GET, PUT, POST, COPY...)• ability to add additional headers in the request (especially use-

ful for calling REST web services)• ability to set the request timeout• ability to specify callbacks or progress bars to follow the send-

ing of requests and reception of the responseThis new feature is compatible with the HTTP and HTTPS proto-cols.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:More granular configuration of your HTTP requests


New advanced type

“httpResponse”

In older versions, the response to an HTTP request was a set ofraw data to analyze in the program.In version 20, all the elements of a response to an HTTP requestare now accessible in the WLanguage new advanced type

httpResponse.This new type lets you directly access the details of the headerand the content of the response without having to decode thebuffer returned by the HTTP server.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Less code...


Secure remote command

execution:

“SSH” functions

A server can support the SSH secure protocol to receive remotecommands. In version 20, the new family of functions SSH lets you connectto an SSH server. The new functions of the SSH family let you connect, open asession, send commands to execute and retrieve the result ofthese commands.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Control your remote servers with SSH!


DES, 3DES and AES

standard encrypting

functions

DES, 3DES (triple DES) and AES are encryption algorithms.AES is the most recent and most secure version. This encryption mode is validated by the NIST (National Instituteof Standards and Technology). It is used by American agenciesto encrypt secret documents.DES is the older encryption standard that can be used to de-code older documents. Two new WLanguage functions are being introduced: Crypt-Standard and UncryptStandard. These functions are used to encrypt data using the AES, DES or3DES algorithms.The choice of block sequencing, padding and IV (InitializationVector) are supported. These new functions are available for the Windows, Android,iOS, Java and PHP platforms, which allows for easy exchange ofencrypted data between WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mo-bile applications.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Better compliance with international encryption standards, in-creased interoperability.


Arrays of arrays: Nesting

of container types

To handle structured data, we often need to nest sets of datainto other sets of data. In version 20, it is now possible to directly nest container types(arrays, associative arrays, fixed arrays, queues, stacks and lists)between each others without having to declare intermediate

properties and classes

The WLanguage Seek function hasincreased power.In version 20, it can startssearches inside properties ofWLanguage advanced types andin class properties.Benefit provided by this version20 new feature:Seek, find!


Grouped multi

assignments

In version 20, the “multi assignment” syntax evolves and letsyou assign the same value to several variables at once.For example:(x, y, z) = 0sets the three variables x, y and z to zero

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Less code.


Direct reading

of a multi value

In version 20, it becomes possible to directly retrieve the firstvalue of a multi value without bracketing the destination vari-able with parentheses. The two following pieces of code are equivalent:(my_variable) = ProcMultiReturn()my_variable = ProcMultiReturn()

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Simpler code.


Thread: New advanced

types : AutomaticEvent

and ManualEvent

Thread programming requires events to synchronize the opera-tions.The two new advanced types AutomaticEvent and Man-ualEvent simplify the declaration and support of “event” ob-jects.You don’t need to uniquely name each event.Furthermore, events declared with the new advanced types inversion 20 are automatically destroyed when exiting the vari-able’s reach.

No more risk of forgetting to call EventDe-stroy!

OOP: FRONT DESIGN

PATTERN

(associated objects)

The new associated attribute in WLanguage lets you specifythat a class is “associated” with another class.

Let’s assume a class A and a class B.

Class B can be associated with class A.

In this case, the members, properties and public methods ofclass B appear as members, properties and public methods ofclass A. We can say that A is a “front” for B.

you can overload these members in class A, to overload theirbehavior. This new feature avoid writing tedious rebounds inthe MVP architecture.

Thanks to this new feature, it becomes very easy to implementthe “Front” Design Pattern in applications.

New: “SQL Views”;

independence and

security of your data

In version 20, HFSQL offers the ability to create “SQL views”.An SQL view is a “virtual data source”, defined via an SQL

query.All the SQL views created are kept on the HFSQL server, andthey can be reused from the applications accessing the data-base.The application can create queries on these SQL views.An application can use SQL views to not be dependent on thephysical organization of data in the database.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Create data structures dynamically very easily


SQL view: Independence

with respect to the

physical structure

of the data

An SQL view brings the application using it independence in re-spect to the physical structure of the data on the server.An SQL view allows you to provide the client applications of thedatabase a data representation that is simplified and specificallytailored to the application’s needs.The application performs its queries on SQL views.If the physical data structure evolves, the SQL queries of the ap-plication don’t change!Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Separation between physical structure and SQL query


SQL view: Security

An SQL view can also be used for data confidentiality purposes. A typical example is to “hide” sensitive data, such as password,account numbers, medical data or personal data.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Only expose the necessary data.

based on SQL views don’t need to be recompiled!The SQL views bring stability to the application’s code, avoidinghaving to redeploy the application.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:No recompilation (no redeployment...)


Creating “SQL views”

An SQL view can be define in two different ways: with the CRE-ATE VIEW SQL command or visually in the query editor.In the query editor all you need to do is specify that the querywill be an SQL view.All the functionalities of the SQL queries are available in the def-inition of an SQL view: joins, conditions, aggregates ...Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Creating SQL views is easy!


Right definition

on SQL views

When an SQL view is created on the server, it accesses datausing the rights of its owner.The owner can then define different rights on the SQL view forother users or groups of users.The rights are defined either with the HModifyViewRightsWLanguage function or via the GRANT command.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Refine user rights


New: “Materialized views”

“Materialized views” area a concept similar to the “SQL views”(see new feature #155).The fundamental difference is that the result of a “materializedview” is physically stored on the server’s drive.Unlike an “SQL view” which is re-extracted at each call, a “ma-terialized view” stores the data on the drive. This data will beused until the next refresh of the materialized view. The data found in a materialized view can be different from thedata found in the file(s) used to create it.This type of view is interesting when there are a lot of read ac-cesses in order to avoid overtaxing the server. In this case, theview is calculated once and stored on the server.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Improved data access speed.


Use of materialized views

In which cases is it interesting to use materialized views? In thecase where extracting the data of the view is a long process,and where the data doesn’t need to be real-time data.The fact that the view is available speeds up the processes thatcall it. For example:• statistics• reporting• data binding• selections for mailings• targeting• creating “flat” data files• ...Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Data access performance


Creating

a materialized view

A materialized view is created either via the data model editor,or using the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW SQL command.The data structure of a materialized view may have been de-fined in the data model editor or not.If the data structure has been defined in the data model editor,the developer will automatically benefit from the auto-comple-tion in the code, the data binding and all the assistance avail-able in the editors.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Nice views .


Updating

a materialized view

Materialized views are not updated automatically when the data inthe files they use is modified.Therefore you need to call the HRefreshView WLanguage func-tion to update the content of the materialized view.You can also refresh the view using the REFRESH MATERIALIZEDVIEW SQL command.And it is also possible to update the view via a scheduled task onthe server, for example “every night”.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Update whenever you want .

New item type:

enumeration

An enumeration is a disjoint set of values.A new type of items is available in the HFSQL data files: theenumeration type.This type of item lets you store enumeration type variables fromWLanguage.This new feature makes data binding easier for applications.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Better integration between WLanguage and HFSQL .


New item type:

combination

A combination is a set of values that can be combined witheach other.The new Combination item type is available.This type of item lets you store combination type WLanguagevariables.This new feature also facilitates data binding in applications. Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Better integration between WLanguage and HFSQL .


Compacting and

defragmenting memos

In case of massive record deletions (table rows) (history purgefor instance), the .MMO file containing memos doesn’t shrink insize.The deleted elements are simply converted into free blocks,which will be reused in future additions.This mechanism may lead to data fragmentation, and in thelong run, impact performance.In version 20, a new option of the HReindex WLanguage func-tion lets you compact and defragment the .MMO type files.This operation is done hot, without disconnecting and withoutdisruption to users .Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Reduces disk used space, increases speed


Full-text index: synonyms

A full-text index lets you perform a search on the content of theText type items or the Text memo type items (raw text or richtext: RTF, HTML,...).In version 20, it becomes possible to define a list of synonymsfor a full-text index.This way, a search on the word “car” can also found therecords containing the words “sedan”, “minivan” or “convert-ible” for example.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:More granular searches .


Full-text index: stemming

Stemming lets you perform searches on a full-text index takinginto accounts the variations of a given word.This way a search on “live” will also return records containingthe words “living”, “lives”, ‘’lived”. This type of search is interesting for knowledge bases (applica-tion or Internet site).This feature also lets you find both singular and plural formwords.It is possible to choose the algorithm used based on the lan-guage. Among the available languages: French, English, Ger-man, Danish, Spanish, Finnish, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian,Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Swedish, TurkishBenefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Better search .


Full-text index:

hollow words

A hollow word is a word to ignore during a search.Typically, links, articles: and, or, ...In version 20, you can associate a list of words to ignore with afull-text index.

A notification is a message generated by the HFSQL server incase of an incident.As part of the automatic replication between HFSQL servers, anew type of notification allows you to be notified in case of amodification conflict.The notifications are sent directly via email, and can also beviewed in the HFSQL Control Center.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The database administrator is notified.


Lighter HFSQL context

copy

When creating a large number of threads (for example whenusing the new parallel programming features, see new feature#095), the copying of the database’s entire context may con-sume resources unnecessarily. Some information is often use-less.A new mode for copying the context is availableThis mode takes into account the essential elements:• connection to the server• path and names of the data files• passwords• ...The following are not copied:• the read operations in progress• the queries in progress• the stored positions• ...Backing up the context becomes much faster.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Lighter memory footprint


hSave: adds or modifies

as appropriate

When a record from a data file (row) must be saved, there aretwo possibilities: either it’s an addition (hAdd must be called), orit’s a modification (hModify must be called). The new function hSave automatically chooses the “right”function to call, based on the situation.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Less code.


ODBC driver on HFSQL:

version 3.8

The ODBC driver lets you access the HFSQL databases (local,Client/Server, on Windows or Linux) from a third-party applica-

tion.In version 20, the ODBC driver evolves and offers support forversion 3.8 of the standard.The ODBC driver offers a large number of additional features,such as:• better support of the UNICODE standard• support for transactions• multiple bookmarks on tables• wildcard search on schema tables• manage cursors by blocksThe ODBC driver for HFSQL is available in 32-bit and 64-bitmode.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Better interoperability .


64-bit WDSQL

The WDSQL tool is now available in 64-bit in addition to the 32-bit version. This evolution is useful for accessing third-party databases forwhich you only have the 64-bit ODBC driver.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:64-bit support

Button control: a nice

caption in RTF!

A button control can contain an image and/or text.In version 20, the text can be in RTF format.The text can be enriched: bold, italic, underlined, font change,size, color ... The text will be translated via the WDMSG transla-tion software.Everything becomes possible in the button’s caption!

Examples of buttons whose text has been enriched with RTF

here the same button with two texts presented differently

Enriching the button’s text in the editor

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Buttons are even more beautiful.


Overloading button im-

ages

In version 20, it becomes possible to overload the backgroundimage and the icon of the buttons based on styles.By applying a style to the button, the button inherits the borderimage and icon. In a window, on a given button, you can modify the image ofthe icon, for example to change a garbage can into a red X.In older versions, the “style refresh” operation (e.g. after modi-fying one of the styles in a style sheet) would reapply the initialstyle to the button, and restore the original icon. In version 20, the modifications are kept.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Keep your modifications.


“..Opacity” property on

groups of controls

Modifying the opacity of several controls in a single line, it’spossible.In version 20, the ..Opacity property becomes available ongroups of controls.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Less code to type.


Infinite progress bars

Adding a progress bar is a useful piece of information for the enduser.Sometimes it is not possible to predict the duration or volume aprocess will take, and therefore it is not possible to display aprogress bar corresponding to the status.

Different examples of “infinite” progress bars

To support these cases, an “infinite” type progress bar is being in-troduced in WINDEV 20.

The type of progress bar is adapted to an endless animation.Several templates of infinite progress bars are offered and can becustomized.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Progress bar that don’t lie.


Defining the “step” for

scrollbars and range

sliders

A scrollbar has clickable buttons at both ends for moving back-ward and forward.By default, moving forward or backward was done by step of oneunit per click.In the case where there’s a large number of elements (e.g.10,000), one may want the clicking of the button at the end ofthe scrollbar to move its box of 50 or 100 units at a time.It is now possible to define via programming the step by whichthe scrollbar and range slider controls move.This property lets you finely control the behavior of the control inUI where the limits may vary a lot.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Speedy toolbars.


Limit durations

The WINDEV edit controls come with a Duration type inputmask.Thanks to this mask, the end user can easily enter a duration inthe application.In version 20, you can specify a minimum and maximum for en-tering the duration.These limits are specified by using the ..MinValue and ..Max-Value properties of the edit control.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Limit yourself!


Telephone mask Switzer-

land, Belgium and Canada

A telephone number is entered in an “edit control” type control.To check the consistency of the data entered, and display a “read-able” number, a “Telephone” mask type is available.

In version 20 new masks are available to check the input of a tele-phone number for Switzerland, Belgium or Canada.Building a mask for another country is possible: it is done via aregular expression.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Telephone numbers in the country’s format!


Other evolutions

on controls

In version 20, a large number of controls evolve: it is now possi-ble to enter quotes in edit controls with file mask.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:A useful little feature.

TSE


Automatic deactivation of

chart animations

TSE is a remote access technology that companies use a lot. Inthis execution mode, graphic effects should be limited becausethe network latency slows down the display, and therefore theend user. For this reason, in version 20, WINDEV automatically deactivateseffects on chart controls in TSE mode.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Improved speed and fluidity in TSE.


Ctrl+Alt+Pause

TSE uses the Ctrl+Alt+Pause shortcut to toggle from the “plainscreen” mode to the “window” mode.This shortcut was also used by WINDEV to trigger a “debuggingdump”.In order to avoid conflicts, the shortcut used by WINDEV be-comes only Ctrl+Pause ... Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Ends the conflict!

STANDALONE EXECUTABLES


Stand-alone executables:

Deliver a single file

It is sometimes useful to deliver an executable in one single file,no installation, no side DLL.For example, to include it as attachment to an email.

In version 20, WINDEV can generate Windows applica-tions by integrating the framework and any re-source files into the executable.This mode works for 32-bit and 64-bit applica-tions.Note that the framework is not extracted at thetime of launch so that the end user does not

need to have write permissions to the location of theexecutable. This facilitates the implementation of embeddedapplications.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Deliver a single file

AAF

The AAF are Automatic Application Features that benefit theend users of your applications, without having to code any-thing.

Comparison with Looper

controls

In version 20, WINDEV Mobile offers two types ofcontrols to present iterative data: the new Table con-trol and the Looper control.Each one of these two types of controls presentssome benefits. When to use what?It is better to use a Table control:• to automatically benefit from a table presentation

of the data• so the end user can easily change the size of the

columns• to allow quick modification of the data (without

“form” window)• to benefit from the AAF specific to tables: sort,

magnifier, filter...• to reuse existing WINDEV assets

It is better to use a Looper control:• to benefit from a richer UI (several controls in one

cell) by positioning controls to the pixel• when the developer wants to use specific controls,

not available in table columns (button for example)Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:The developer can choose

THE TABLE CONTROL IN MOBILE

MOBILE RAD


New mobile RAD:

Pretty Windows

Need to quickly generate the form corresponding to a data filefrom the data model? Want to recreate the famous “3 minutes” from the TDF athome?In version 20, the Window RAD of WINDEV Mobile has beencompletely revamped.Tablets and phones don’t have the same use mode.Our teams have thus created 2 types of RAD: a RAD for tablets,a RAD for phones. A single application can of course contain both windows forphones and windows for tablets: the appropriate window willbe opened on the relevant device.The generated UIs are suited for a mobile use mode, by usingthe controls specific to these devices.The new Window RAD offers 14 new templates.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:A RAD that fits.


New Mobile RAD

for phones

8 RAD templates for phones are offered.These templates are adapted to the phone’s screen size, as wellas the use mode of phones:• Image + Form for display• Image + Form for input• Image + Long text• Form in edit mode• Form + Looper• Image gallery• Looper• Multiline zone.

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Templates adapted to phones


New mobile RAD

for tablets

6 new RAD templates for tablets are offered.These templates are adapted to tablets.Thanks to the use of the powerful “Layouts” concept, theseRAD templates are adapted to the size and orientation of thetablet screens.RAD obviously automatically generates the necessary layoutsadapted to the chosen template.• Image + Form for display• Image + Form for input• Image + Long text• Image gallery• Looper + Form in display mode• Multiline area + Form in display mode

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Window editing gains in power and simplicity


New mobile RAD:

the generated code

The new Mobile Window RAD generates a clear code, easy tounderstand, easily reusable and easily maintainable.Links with the data are automatically generated.Wizards ask questions adapted to each template.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:A code easy to adapt and customize

NEW FEATURES


“Pull to refresh”

On a mobile, the action of pulling a table or a looper to refreshits content has became expected behavior for the end user.

RAD generates different applications according to thehardware: on a tablet, since the screen is larger, a list is

displayed on the side

During such action by the end user, a small window automati-cally appears in the exposed area. An automatic animation isperformed.In version 20, there’s nothing to program to benefit from thisfunctionality with “browsing” tables. The linked data is auto-matically updated.For the the “memory” table, the new Refresh by pull/re-lease process lets you enter custom update code: HTTP re-quest...

You can customize the small window that comes up when thefinger “pulls”.

New processes are being introduced to allow the developer tocustomize the caption displayed in the small window (“last re-fresh date”,...), the animation, ...:• Pull to refresh: Start• Pull to refresh: Wait for release• Pull to refresh: Refresh operation.

A simple finger motion refreshes the image

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Standard behavior, without coding


Automatic animations

An end user checks a check box? The check box slowly pivots(but not too much) to display its back which is checked: this isone of the automatic animations offered by WINDEV Mobile 20for your applications!Version 20 of WINDEV Mobile offers a large number of auto-matic animations on controls:• animation when checking a check box• animation when modifying a radio button• animatin on the rating control• animation when changing area in an ActionBar• animation when a progress bar changes value.

Animation boards. Here 2 examples

You’ll discover these wonderful animations after you receiveyour version 20 and you simply recompile your mobile applica-tions.Of course, these animations can be disabled, either control by

control, or globally at the application’s level.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Animate your applications through a simple recompile


Animation of the Image

control

The display of an image can be animated.You simply need to provide a set of images containing the suc-cessive steps of the animation.No programming is requiredBenefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Animate


Infinite progress bars

A mobile often connects to the Internet.It is difficult to predict the time required to get the answer: theuse of an infinite progress bar is fully justified!In version 20, the progress bar control of WINDEV Mobile offersappropriate solutions.The progress bar can be the system standard progress bar.The progress bar can also offer a completely custom look.

Examples of “infinite” progress bars provided

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:To infinity and beyond!


Standard encryption

The DES, 3DES and AES encryption modes are supported onAndroid and iOS. The secure data exchange between mobilesand servers is greatly facilitated.(see new feature 106)Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Maximal interoperability.


Automatic tests on mobile

In version 20, automatic tests are available for mobile applica-tions.On the simulator, you can save, write and modify, then replaytest scripts.Immediately increase the quality and stability of the applicationsyou distribute.

Before delivering an update, simply replay the automated testsyou’ve previously created to make sure there is no regression!Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Automate your mobile applications’ testing.


Map control

in the simulator

In older versions, the map control wasn’t included in interfaceof the simulator on the PC.In version 20, this Map control is available in the simulator.The test (manual or automated) of applications using maps be-comes possible.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:A simulator closer to reality.


Universal replication

on mobile in 64-bit

The assisted universal replication lets you quickly implement areplication between databases found on mobiles and servers(located at the company’s headquarters for instance). A fewclicks and a few lines of code are enough. In version 20, the assisted universal replication evolves; the as-sisted universal replication service is now available in 64-bit. Thismakes it possible to handle very large volumes of data.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:No more limits for replicated data.


Images: Automatic support

based on DPI

On mobile, to display images, you need to know that each de-vice has a unique physical size and graphic resolution (the num-ber of pixels displayed for its size). The DPI is the report between the two. DPI means “Dots PerInch”.This means that the same image file, on 2 screens with thesame physical size, but with a different resolution may be dis-played too small or too large.To avoid this, and display the image in an identical size, the im-ages are displayed in a “stretched” mode.In the case of high definition screens, if the image is low quality,the image displayed may be pixelated.In the case of low resolution screens, it’s the opposite: if theimage has too high of a definition, its size reduction may turnout blurry.The problem described above is often called “DPI problem.”Factor between DPI can be greater than 10!To resolve this problem, WINDEV Mobile 20 offers a drastic so-lution: in the editors, wherever it is possible to select an image(image control, control background ...), it is now possible to se-lect multiple image files, suitable for different DPI.This new feature allows you to automatically select at runtime,

the most suitable image based on the device’s resolution.Note that for the display of controls and their style, the adaptedsize is preserved regardless of the DPI: WINDEV Mobile takescare of everything!

Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Your images are pretty, regardless of the resolution


Layout-based fonts

With WINDEV Mobile 20, for a given control, it is possible tospecify a different font for each layout.This new feature is very useful in the development of a singleapplication designed to run on both Android and iOS. This innovation makes it possible to use a specific font for eachplatform.It is also possible to specify the size of the font for each layout.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Support for all the devices and system versions


Layout: ability to know

the current layout

In version 20 of WINDEV Mobile, the new WinCurrentLay-outWLanguage function lets you get the layout in use on thedevice.This function allows you to make special adaptations based onthe current execution platform, or optimize the code accordingto the platform, orientation, resolution.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Support for all the devices and system versions.

AJAX


Ajax functions:

advanced use

AJAX technology lets you execute a server process without re-loading the entire page.WEBDEV offers two possibilities for benefiting of this technol-ogy.The most automated mode is “AJAX in one click” in the serverprocesses, by clicking “AJAX” in the code editor band.

In this case, the “server” process is automatically executed viaan “AJAX” request, and the content of the controls in the pageis then automatically updated with the new values of the con-trols retrieved from the server.Another custom method requires the use of the WLanguageAJAXExecute and AJAXExecuteAsynchronous functions to ex-plicitly call a procedure on the server. Here, the controls are notupdated automatically.In version 20, these two functions offer a new option: ajaxUp-dateControls.This option lets you request the automatic refresh of the modi-fied controls.You don’t need to write code to update controls.Benefit provided by this version 20 new feature:Less code
