Here a few new feedback bug cases which may be worth putting them on your favorite list:
Monday 30 January 2012 at 2:01 pm
If you need to display in your application the build date, you can use app.builddate function to get a date object with the time of the build command started.
You can try it with code like this:
MsgBox app.BuildDate.ShortDate+" "+app.BuildDate.ShortTime
The value does not change in the built application, so it works like a constant. And it's supported for
Console, for
Web and for
Desktop. For more details, see
Application.BuildDate. This also implements my
feature request 2143 which can now be marked as resolved.

Well, the question today is, how do we get this slider to be used in Filemaker solutions:
The idea is to run it in a web viewer control in Filemaker. We want to get update events from the slider to update a value in our filemaker database. Also we want to have a way to update the slider with a value from filemaker. This way we can save the value in our database and load value in database while also updating it when the user changes the slider. Same way you could embed any control you find in web development toolboxes. We found a
nice slider for this example.

After some talks with a lot of Filemaker developers over the last months, we change the licenses a little bit.
- As before we keep the 5 to unlimited seat options for companies doing their in house development with Filemaker and simply buy a license matching their seat requirements.
- Also we keep the runtime license for people who create runtimes.
- We add a new license for people who want to use the plugin on Filemaker Server.
- And as several professional developers asked us, we also add a flat rate, our Pro Developer license. This way a developer can license the plugin once and use in all solutions for all clients.
Of course serial numbers must be hidden, e.g. by putting them in startup script and disallow users to see this script.
I hope this works well for you and as we honor existing licenses, we will certainly find special upgrade deals for you as well as sending out replacement license keys.

Today we have a new video for you. It's about using our
MBS Real Studio XL Plugin to read and write a Microsoft Excel file without using Excel application.
This is very different from the
Excel classes in Real Studio which works only on Windows with installed Microsoft Excel.
Our plugin is based on
libXL and can read/write older xls and newer xlsx files on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.

NICKENICH, Germany (January 17th, 2012) -- Monkeybread Software releases version 12.0 of the MBS plug-in for Real Studio.
The MBS plug-in comprises a collection of several plug-in parts which extend the Real Studio development environment with 1,500 classes featuring over 38,000 documented functions. Our plugins support all three platforms Mac OS X, Windows and Linux with all project types desktop, web and console.
After our very big 11.3 release end of last year, we concentrated now on improving existing things:
We updated our
LCMS2 plugin to use version 2.3 and added several new classes, methods and examples to really use much more of this nice library. Like you can now edit, modify or create
tone curves. Also you can use the
pipeline class to access/edit the
stages for a Device to PCS or PCS to Device tag.
For Windows we allow now watching for
WMI events and going through an object hierarchy using the new
WinObjectMBS class. For this we added methods to run queries asynchronously. For watching for changes in a directory, we have
FSEventsMBS class on Mac and now also the
WindowsDirectoryWatcherMBS class for Windows.
On the Cocoa target, we added a ton of new classes. Improvements to
NSAttributedStringMBS and
NSMutableAttributedStringMBS let you handle attributes better. For example when loading a Word document, you can now query metadata like author name. The new
NSPathControlMBS class helps to display file paths in a window like the Finder. Also we added new scroll wheel events for custom views and new table view events.
We fixed a couple of critical bugs related to console graphics, text encodings and picture handling, so we recommend this update to all of our users. Especially if you plan to use Real Studio 2011r4.

Today I was asked how to draw over the whole window in Cocoa. Well it looks like you can simply add a view to NSWindowsMBS.contentview.superview to be able to draw over the whole window, even the title bar. And you can add a button there like on this screenshot:
You simply create a button and use w.contentView.superview.addSubview to add it to the window.
