Alternative Version Control Solution for Uniface

The Uniface ecosystem is supported by more companies than just Compuware.

There is an alternative solution for version management / source code management available from March Hare. Have a look at www.march-hare.com to see if this can be useful to you.

I just had a conversation with March Hare’s product manager Arthur Barrett. It was good to exchange our ideas on the future and to talk about old times too.

Date picker for Uniface 9.6

In Uniface 9.6 it will be really easy to implement a Date Picker widget.

A Date Picker is a date field with a little icon. When you press the icon a calendar appears. Uniface has this widget available for web development in Dynamic Server Pages. For Windows Forms there is no Date Picker widget. Uniface does however have a Calender widget. And Uniface 9.6 Popup Forms are introduced. Combine the two and you have the full Date Picker functionality.

Uniface 9.6: billions of buttons

I really need to stop playing with the new Uniface buttons... In Uniface 9.6 you can create "billions" of buttons by specifying an icon that goes on top of the button and four images that represent the button in its four states. Also different text colors for the four states and gradient background color possible. PNG support makes using transparent images easier. No more need to paint both a label and a button if you want both text and icon on a button!
  1. Classic Uniface button with gradient color.
  2. Classic Uniface button with icon and internalized label.
  3. Classic Uniface button with icon and text in field value.
  4. Image button.
  5. Image button with text.
  6. Image button with icon.
  7. Image button with icon. Text from internalized label.
  8. Image button with both icon and text in field value.
  9. Windows button.
  10. Windows Header button.
