The portion of documentation updates is already here, and we’re excited to present them to you!
Lycia LowCode: Visual Editor
Now you can specify the settings for your interactions not by writing the code itself, but using the visual editor. Find the InteractForm property in the Form Builder, invoke its editing, and add interactions and the settings for each in the visual form. For details, refer here: Visual Editor.
Lycia LowCode: Invoke Methods on Any LLC Object
The methods are now available not only with the View object, but with its parent InteractForm as well. To learn about the updated syntax, refer to the Lycia LowCode Methods page: LLC Methods.
Lycia LowCode: Use the Embedded Array as the Data Source
Using an array instead of the database data is now entirely possible! Add a DYNAMIC ARRAY OF RECORD to your program, and call it with the method to populate the LowCode-handled form table. Read more here: SetEmbeddedData().
Table: Updates for Enhanced Functionality
We have extended the functionality of tables, making them even more versatile! More specifically, we have added the following:
- Checkboxes and Multiselecting: With specific properties enabled, you can add checkboxes to your table, with multiselecting also available;
- Two Types of Context Menus: One can be invoked on the right-click, the other has a dedicated button in the leftmost part of the table;
- Row Numbering: Now you can add an automatic row numbering to your tables;
- Full Screen: Offer a full-screen mode to the users of your apps.
Learn about it in the Influence and Behaviour section here: Table.
A New DIALOG Attribute: ‘EXECUTE ALL BEFORE’
This attribute triggers the execution of all the BEFORE blocks of the sub-dialogs. Read the details here: DIALOG Attributes.
Toolbar: Control the Look of Your Toolbar Buttons
There are two views for the toolbar buttons that you can assign to a certain button: top (visible) and popup (hidden in the dropdown menu), and top is the default one. We have also added a way to invert the default behaviour. Details: The place property.
CSV Editor: The Wrap Cells Options
The CSV Editor now has the options to control the text display within a certain header cell or a usual cell: the text can be wrapped or clipped (this is the default). Learn more here: Blob Viewer: Additional Settings.
