2015-11-12 Beta Release Notes


This is intended as the final beta before the CSPro 6.2 release.

Major new features:

  • Multiple language dictionaries: Select Edit->Languages in the dictionary editor to add languages to your application. Unique labels can be added in each language. When creating forms, the "link field label to dictionary item" drag property ensures that the field labels will be modified when the dictionary language is changed, keeping the labels in sync.
  • Value set images have now been fully implemented on both Windows and Android environments. The file formats supported include: .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .png, and .tif.
  • Applications can define resource folders that contain auxiliary files that the application uses. These files will be compressed in the .pen file and decompressed when running the application.

Minor features:

  • Android case tree changes: individual fields can be hidden in the tree; by default skipped fields will no longer be shown in the tree.
  • Windows extended controls have been improved, with navigation buttons and search functionality.
  • System messages as defined in CSProRuntime.mgf can be overridden.
  • File handlers can now be passed as arguments to user-defined functions.
  • The Android application can now be installed to a device's SD card.
  • Dictionary Macro options for compacting and sorting data files, as well as an Open With (CSPro tool) option.

New logic functions:

  • prompt: Prompts the operator to enter an alphanumeric string, also supporting a password masking option.
  • round: Returns a value rounded to the nearest integer.
  • connection: Determines whether the device has access to the Internet.
  • getimage: Returns the filename of a value set image.
