CustomEditField 2023r1 - for Xojo API 2.0
I have revised and updated the CustomEditField, originally by Alex Restrepo, to be fully compatible with Xojo API 2.0. All API 1.0 deprecated classes and syntax have been updated to API 2.0. This canvas-based control is able to display code with syntax highlighting and formatting for a number of languages. For years it has appeared in a number of editors, and with the advent of Xojo API 2.0, many developers have been left without a replacement due to breaking code changes. Xojo’s API 2.0, although bringing breaking changes to code that needed replacing, it also has brought numerous optimizations, and the control is now more responsive than ever. This updated 2023 version of the control is sure to keep CustomEditField alive now, and into Xojo’s future.
Xojo Desktop CalendarView 2.0.0
This control was originally created by Jeremie Leroy for Xojo API 1.0 and was open-sourced to GitHub. The source code found herein has been updated for Xojo API 2.0. Minimal Date and Graphics deprecations exist to keep the control backward-compatible, and will be replaced as they are phased-out from the Xojo framework. All other deprecated API 1.0 items have been updated to API 2.0.
You can find other great products at Jeremie Leroy’s Website.
