In the increasingly badly named Enum Extender project I’ve added a way to take a bunch of text defining properties and make it possible to paste into the IDE

see this conversation for why

Now a bunch of text like

Public setting_Username As String
Public setting_Password As String
Public setting_PortNumber As Integer
Public setting_HostName As String
Public setting_MaxConnections As Integer

can be put into Enum Extender and it will set the correct pastable data onto the clipboard

See the new Property Paster window in the project

*NB : at this time the app does not accept

Public Property setting_Username As String

the PROPERTY word is NOT actually correct

An update soon will fix this

Well the updates in between then, and now ALL suffer from this particular problem. I’ve yet to find a solution.

Yeah – such fun

Appears I’m not alone and external monitors and flickering is a widely experienced issue

UPDATE : Apple released 13.4 and someone said “Hey it fixes the flicker!”… Read the rest

In Xojo if you use external methods to simplify writing a declare over & the they can make your code platform specific.

How ?

In a method you can wrap the declare in a #if Target so it wont be used on targets its not intended for.

There is NO way to do this for external methods.… Read the rest

Recently I visited a client in Germany
And we worked hard for the 2 weeks I was there

But while I was there I took advantage of the fact I’d be there over a weekend and went to Austria to ski at an enormous resort that had not yet closed – Ischgl.

Driving there I had feelings of dread as all the lower parts of hills like Garmisch-Partenkirchen were closed and obviously very green – but there was snow high up.… Read the rest
