Zammi application compiler
Mon, 2007-10-15 20:26 — Scott AugeIn the AppBuilder there is a propath compiler – of sorts. It is more like a collection of paths and it is up to the programmer to sort it all out. Once you move onto another project – that's right, you loose all those configurations should you need to come back.
This is something distinctly missing from the web based programming tools too. There doesn't seem to be a tool that will walk up and down the propath looking for HTML to convert and .p/.w's to compile. I have encountered applications with so many files in them, the File Tools in

Sample installer for Codejock components runtime
Sun, 2007-07-22 10:42 — c_verbiestMy window with the codejock components is ready for beta testing. I now needed to make an installer for the runtime version of the components. Some weeks ago I came across NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System).
In less than an hour I was able to create an installer with it.
I've attached a simple nsis source. It expects the runtime version of the components, found in cab files in %Program Files%\Codejock Software\ActiveX\Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX v11.1.0\bin\Redist, to be extracted to a subdirectory Components.

ABHack: to achieve auto-completion and other tweaks in the regular AppBuilder
Sun, 2007-03-11 21:11 — rssreader
ABHack is a kind of demon 4GL procedure to run with the PERSISTENT option in a development session. It can spy the activity in a source-code procedure editor to pop up auto completion lists for local or global variables, attributes/methods, buffers, temp-table, table and fields names. It includes many other features like a query analyzer for a selected text, open text-selected source file-names an improved navigation by words, ++ insertion, quick comment out, and ability to make the data dictionary resizable.
11-MAR-2007 New features: duplicate line on Alt-Down like Eclipse does, and better handling of full stop when inserting closing guy
05-MAR-2007 New feature: completion for block labels
26-FEB-2007 Three big new features: Make the popup field list scroll to the most likely interesting field after an equal sign. Improved suggested list of buffers after '=' equal operator. Ability to 'Keep track of Section Cursor Position', and restore the previous row and col of a section you visited earlier when you go back to it.
