SALT LAKE CITY, UT (PRWEB) May 2, 2005 -- QSI Corporation, manufacturer of
rugged operator interface terminals, has released the latest version of Qlarity
Foundry™ and Qlarity™ Firmware for its family of award-winning graphic operator
interface terminals — the QTERM-G70, QTERM-G75, QTERM-G55 and QTERM-Z60.
“The most significant enhancement in version 2.31 is the AutoHelp
function,” said Jeremy Richards, Senior Software Engineer, “AutoHelp aids
programmers by dynamically displaying textual help and making suggestions.”
Other significant new features include Object Inheritance, AutoDoc,
Workspace Resizing, Multi-Object Edit, Error Stepping and Parenthesis Matching,
Win32 Command Line Compiler, Workspace Locking, new APIs and new objects.
- Object Inheritance – When creating new objects that are based on other
objects, there is no need to copy and maintain two code bases. Simply add the
unique code to the new object and all of the base code remains in the source
object. Changes in the code of the source object are inherited by the other
objects.
- AutoHelp – Displays function parameters and their
descriptions, suggests possible completions for object properties and methods
and suggests valid values when entering function parameters on the right hand
side of an assignment statement or comparison expression.
- AutoDoc – A
major overhaul of the AutoDoc system provides improved documentation, links to
related items, tables describing parameters and enumerated items, improved
formatting and sample code snippets. In addition, AutoDoc now supports keyword
searching and displays Qlarity code samples and installed tutorials.
-
Workspace Resizing – Applications that were created for 320x240 screens can be
resized for 640x480 screens, or vici versa. Some objects (e.g. bitmaps) cannot
be automatically resized.
- Mutli-Object Edit – When selecting multiple
objects in your workspace, the properties window now shows the properties common
among the selected objects. The values in these properties (e.g. background
color) can be changed and all selected objects will inherit the change.
- Error Stepping and Parenthesis Matching – Errors in your programming
code can be sequentially stepped through by pressing a hot key rather than
double-clicking each error. In code view, parentheses are now underlined to aid
in matching.
- Win32 Command Line Compiler – Compile BFF files without
launching Qlarity Foundry and exporting the workspace.
- Workspace
Locking – Prohibits workspaces from being overwritten if the same workspace is
open in multiple instances of Qlarity Foundry on the same machine.Objects for
alphanumeric key entry, grouping related items and pop-up windows have also been
added.
- New APIs have been created to aid in finding object pixel
regions, setting color palettes, searching for pattern matches and replacing a
string after is has been found
- Objects for alphanumeric key entry,
grouping related items and pop-up screens have also been added.
