Automatic upgrades for your development Environment
It's been a long time that automatic upgrading software has been available, and I have always been amased that smaller software development companies without lots of resources does not go this route but insist on manually sending out upgrade notifications and thus using up their valuable resources.

New Offices
As some might know, we have always worked from offices where we are available 24 hours a day, and that meant that we were working from offices located in our home.
We are changing this practice and will be working from offices located in the main street leading into Heidelberg from the N2. ( The old Langeberg bookshop)
Windev 16 Setup Program Tweak
Windev/Webdev 16 has a very nice setup builder program that you can use to install your products.
It allows you to setup just about anything that windev allows you to do - HyperfileSql Setup, data modification, etc.
The second nice thing is that the source code for this setup program is available for you to tweak.
Replacing Recursive Tree (Ultratree) in Windev
One of the few controls that Clarion developers normally hold up as a major reason why they don't switch to another development environment is Ultratree.
Ultratree gives a lot of functionality, and one of these functionalities is to easily create a tree in a single table.
Now with Windev 16 and higher, you need not feel left out.
Linking tables in different folders in Analysis
To keep the complexisty of an analysis display down to something we can easily interperate, folders can be used to group files together.
The question is. How do you link files together that are in different folders?
Quick Prototyping with WX (Windev/Webdev or Mobile)
Easy way to make a procedure threaded
Do away with having to START a thread, allocate it memory, etc… (grin)
In Windev, go to your procedure and on the right-hand side of the procedure header bar, click on the timer icon and set your preference.
Converting Clarion dates to Windev Dates
Clarion dates start at 28 Dec 1800 and Windev Dates start at 1 january 1583, but the function Integertodate works from 1 january 1800
Thanks to Andy (www.ccscowboy.com) here is a neat little formula to convert clarion dates to windev dates.
Mydate is date= Integertodate(DateDifference("18000101","18001228")+cwValue)
Runtime Errors
Interesting Runtime Error – but the error did not display the line that was the cause of the error, but rather the preceding wlanguage line.

Windevlive Open Lab
My first Windev sql qry
Decided I needed to look at my mssql data without the help of tables or other visual aids.
Windev and Webservices
I imported the web service WSDL file and Windev auto creaded all the objects for me to call. One little problem I had, and I suspect more it's the service provider that is at fault here .. .a tdate in windev was not recognised by the provider although it is specified in their WDSL.
New Website
Ria is still busy fixing all the bugs in the release ...
We are all anticipating ...
I am a great believer that a web developer does the website using something like WAMP and then upload, but this time it has bitten us a bit. Using WAMP on Windows 7 makes the website behave like a windows server - no case sensitivty of urls etc, - untill we uploaded to a linux (aaarrgghhh) host server.
