Hi,
If you are coming from the Clarion world beware of the difference between Character Operators.

----------------------------------------
myString is string
FOR k=1 TO 132
myString=myString+"."
END
// Now myString has a length of 132

myString[[1 to 3]]="AAA" // Length is still 132
myString[[1 to 3]]="AA" // Length is NOW 131 !!!
-------------------------------------------

Hi,

Steven I came from Clarion a long with others and there are several differences.

The only thing I truly miss however is the template system.

Would be nice to make a template like "Put this code within every"End of initialization of type Windows"


Cheers

Hi Tor,
Yes - the template system is a great paradigm in Clarion.
I don't know why nobody else is using the paradigm - but I think everything would be different if Bruce Barrington sold Clarion to Microsoft in the '80s.

I really think that anybody who creates a user interface library - either for the browser or for desktop/mobile apps - should also include a visual interface builder that supports embeds through templates and so on ...
Just going "manually" through all the embeds in WX is really a waste of time ...
