Somebody Please tell us what was said about Sesame 2.0 at the users conference! Is there any idea on a release date!

In this month Inside Sesame on page 5 it lists some more of the new Sbasic commands. I am blown away at the new commands. The ones listed for use with subforms makes my year alone but then throw in @FormAsDialog — Allows the programer to bring up the specified form
as a popup dialog box.and a few others and my century is taken care of.  After listening to the mixed comments from users about the Menu tree I am sure many users will be ecstatic over the new control you give us users of the Menubar.

One of the 2.0 things that was shown at the User's conference was the vastly improved Program Editor. Some of the new features include Scrollbars, Global Search/Replace, Ability to change Font size, Indent/Unindent features, Function Browser(Built in Functions, Elements on the current form, and Fonts installed on your computer), Sorted Element Browser, Find Element by name, a Right Click Menu with the common choices, Resizing window resizes the editor not the error window, Overwrite mode, about two pages of shortcut keys, Case insensitive Search/Replace and others.

The Field Editor now also has scroll bars, a right click menu and hot keys such as CTRL + Left and CTRL + Right, among other things.

and there is more. A whole lot more, I just happen to be partial to the new Programming Editor. I'm certain some of the people that were there can chime in with what they saw.

Sesame 2.0? Look out! It is going to be awsome! On Saturday, Erika went through most of the major additions and changes, and we were applauding in awe and happiness for two hours. Here are some of my favorites:

Table View has been redone from the ground up. It has a very nice look, you can set a spec for what elements you want to see, it columns retain their back/fill color, programming will execute.

Program editor will scroll if for if you have a lot of lines of code. There are now a multitude of key strokes that work in Program Editor. You can work with a list of all of Sesame’s commands and all the elements on your form, so you don’t have to type.

You will be able to design “quick” reports directly from the database, without needing to go to designer. They are really easy to design, too!

There is a whole new group of X commands that will be very powerful. For example, say you are filling out an order for a new customer and want to add the customer to your Customer database. You will be able to do so without ever entering your customer database. That is just great!

We saw a display of printing forms just like printing labels. 

Started with one form on the page, and then had 8 records of the same form on one page, two columns, and 4 rows.

Just designated how many columns and rows. and the form records were forced to fit on one page.

Foster,

Do you mean different forms or just different records from the same form?

The new feature, that Bob explained, allows you to print for example 10 records on one page. 2 columns and 5 rows. Like this

Record 1	Record 2
Record 3	Record 4
Record 5	Record 6
Record 7	Record 8
Record 9	Record 10

all on one page.

You are welcome Foster. We know you have been wanting to do it, which is why development implemented it. The opposite of it, multiple pages for one record, was put in just the other day.

I know there are others on this forum that have seen the 2.0 demo. I'm sure they will chime in with other features.

You can replace the splash image in the current version of Sesame. Replacing that image with a startup form is the newly added feature.

or were you referring to the ability to set an image scheme to the Sesame window.

-Ray

The Image Scheme is part of the new INI file and also an addition to the command line -Scheme option. You could specify it in either place.
