Hello Ryan,

No problem at all! In fact I must recognize that the error is more or less difficult to catch.

Hello Ryan,

I hope you have a nice night coding. :-) I finally got the problem, which is inside the Click event of the button "buttonUpdateDatabase", which is placed in the "Home" app view. The problem is a missing "EndIf" action, that you can place at the end of the referred Click event. I think this is enough for you, in other words, I think you can see the problem when take a look at the referred event. If you can't see it... please, post here and I will try to help you.

Let me to take a look first (I am not in my PC now), maybe I can get the files, so no other thing is need.

Hello again,...

Please, forget the my last post: I think you already sent to info@decsoftutils.com: certainly GMail reject it, but, I think I can get the files from the info@decsoftutils.com. So don't worry, I will take a look.

Hello Ryan,

Sorry... GMail reject the attachment.... try with info@decsoftutils.com... or maybe with other way... I will take a look as quickly as possible.

Hello Ryan,

Yes; please. Send me also the "app.js"... or send me the app "ready to be compiled", and, also put some comments (in the E-Mail and if needed) about how to reproduce the problem: maybe this is not neeed if the app fails when start due to the Javascript syntax issue.

Hello Ryan,

The code that you show as been written by hand or is generated by AB from some actions? What I can see in the code that you show is that, apparently the "<<--------line in error" line don't match the above code, that is, or some code is missing, or that line must be just removed, because is not apparently right.

Can you start to compile the app from the scratch, removing firstly the "_Compiled" and the "_Cache" directories? If you can provide a sample app in which we ca see the error reproduced that can be very good. Maybe you can send me the complete "app.js" file, or even the app, in order to take a look.

Hello Samuel,

Thanks! Yes; I must look into this a bit more, however, thanks for confirm that the blurried issue is gone.

Hello Samuel,

Please, download the program again, here are the links for Windows 64 and for for Windows 32. Some changes has been made in the program's manifest in order to be DPI awareness. Please, try the program again (when possible), setting the "backward compatibility off", since, in principle, that options is no needed in this case.

Hello Samuel,

Yes; I already receive some E-Mails from you... including your purchase order, Samuel, let me to say here thanks for your support and your trust. After I end to write this post I want to reply to all your E-Mails propertly.

Yes; I really hope that finally with the new AB can be useful to you: remember that I am not only developing the IDE, but, also creates apps with the IDE... and I really think (is not an imposture) that the IDE can be really useful for that purpose.

Of course, I know the work is only started (ironically, because I am working from months ago in the new project...) but I am ready (it's my work) and want to continue developing the IDE and improving it in the future years. So forget (ok, with some affection) the "visual actions", Samuel, and say welcome to Javascript.

You know I am here (we are here) to try to help when needed.

Thanks very much again for your support, Samuel, I will go now to prepare your invoice and license, as well to reply to your other E-Mails.

Hello Samuel,

Edit about blurriness:

right-click the application’s shortcut and then click Properties. On the Compatibility tab, select Disable Display Scaling On High DPI Settings, and then click OK.

Fixed :)

Thanks for shared that here, however, please, send me some capture with the issue... I want to take a look at it with my own eyes. Maybe you have some particular configuration in the system? Because, in principle, we no need to touch any particular setting in order to get the program working as expected...

Hello Samuel,

Yes; of course, your feedback is welcome. About the blurred screen, please, send me some capture or video so I can take a look: I can't see anything like that, so, we can take a look at what can happen.

About to use only Javascript code, certainly, I think this is the best possible way, Samuel. If you take a look at the editor Quick code list, the program want to provides help about the available methods and their arguments, in a similar way (in fact, better) than in the previous generation of the product.

So, even when we must use Javascript code, the IDE intention is to help us while write that code. But use Javascript code only have good advantages. Just think that the "actions" in the previous generation of the product, must be finally converted / translated to Javascript... well... we avoid that step.

But is not only a question of avoid the translator, that's not the main question: I did not pretend to save the work that the actions / Javascript translator requires. The point is that, in our own experience developing large apps, Javascript is required, the actions are not enough, and, it's not a question of the actions number.

Now all what you see while developing the app are exactly the same: Javascript code. All the variable types, for example, are always the expected ones, and not "masked" types, like in the case of the Boolean variables in the previous AB, which are not real Boolean variables, but string variables with a value of "true" or "false". And this is only a little sample, Samuel.

On the other hand the new DecSoft App Builder continue offering visual editors for the required controls properties, for example, the provided editor for the Items propety of the Dropdown control.

Give an opportunity to the new IDE, Samuel. Has been written from the scratch, taking in consideration our own experience developing apps with AB. Maybe the new product can't be sold "ready for newbies", like the previous AB, but, I really think that the decision to avoid the usage of the "actions" are something good for all of us, including these newbies... that are going to be no more newbies.

P.S. As you can probably see, the new AB incorporates the "Frames" concept, that you suggest time ago, do you remember? :-)

Hola Juan,

Lo que lamento es no tener tiempo (en poco tiempo... sabrá usted porqué...) para probarlo... puesto que si se trata de crear un directorio, en principio, es el plugin (quien lo necesita) el que tiene que crearlo, o bien Apache Cordova... y tal vez tenga que ver con la versión del plugin o de Cordova... puede que se solucione en sucesivas versiones... en fin, de momento, diré que me alegro de que encontrase la forma de seguir adelante.

Hola Juan,

Según la documentación del plugin, esta es la forma de indicar el ID:

Por favor, asegúrese de que está indicándolo tal cual y pruebe a compilar la app de ese modo.

Hola Juan,

Entonces, es posible que estemos ante un error del propio plugin de Apache Cordova, sobre el que deberá investigar. Añadiendo el ID tal como le he dicho, y, como podrá ver, los archivos "BAT" generados por DecSoft App Builder incluyen dicho ID al instalar el plugin... tal como parece necesitarse... igual es que el ID debe ponerse de alguna forma especial, como entrecomillado... algo así...
