August 31, 2004

To All dB2K and dBASE PLUS Users

I am announcing the release of the jsDateTime Package, the latest release from the js* Class Library of custom tools and classes for use with dBASE PLUS and dB2K.

jsDateTime is a full implementation of the common controls monthcal window class technology in the dBL jsCalendar class, and the common controls datetime pick window class technology in the jsDatePicker and jsTimePicker classes. These are the same technologies used in the Contro Panel's Date and Time applet and other applications.

Monthcal technology provides a user-friendly month-based calendar UI for the display and selection of dates and date ranges. Datetime pick technology provides user-friendly interfaces for the display and selection of dates and times using segmented entryfields which can optionally be formatted in almost any manner suitable to the application.

The visual UI and nonvisual classes included in the jsDateTime Package are:

VISUAL: jsCalendar, jsDatePicker, and jsTimePicker.
NONVISUAL: jsFont, jsSystem, and jsVersion.

Visit http://www.jimsare.com/indexLib.htm to view detailed descriptions of all classes included in the jsDateTime Package and other js* Class Library Packages and to download the fully functional shareware jsDateTime Package.

Registration of the jsDateTime package will entitle you to receive additional updates of any components in the jsDateTime package which release over a one year period from your date of registration which will include any bug fixes, enhancements, and new functionality released over the one-year period.

The normal jsDateTime Package registration fee is $40.00 U.S. currency. Registrations received by September 30, 2004 will be discounted to $30.00 U.S currency.

I am announcing the release of the jsRichEdit Package, the latest release from the js* Class Library of custom tools and classes for use with dBASE PLUS and dB2K.

jsRichEdit is a very rich implementation of the common controls RichEdit window class technology. RichEdit technology is the technology used in most of the leading word processing applications and applets for the past several years.

Both classes can be dataLinked to almost any character-based table field using the stock dBASE Query/Rowset data classes. The jsPlainEdit and jsRichEdit classes can be used as powerful replacements for the stock dBL Editor class, and offer much greater control and access to text content for text formatting, insertion and deletion of text at any position, full clipboard support, printing, print previewing, file insertion at the current position, saving of all or selected text, and many more features and abilities far too numerous to mention, all under full dBL control.
