It is low code tool for building multi tenant enterprise web applications. For the proof of its proves and features also check out the famous open source ERP build using Frappe Framework.

Hell Peter, Thanks for the tips. I generally build all my projects to support UNICODE from ground up since WX20. I have researched for this problem quite a lot and have come across variety of suggestions in various forums. I even copy - pasted the text in many software and found that some of them showed the same problem that I am facing. After going through variety of documentations a

WD24 - UNICODE problem in Report - 7 months ago

Hello, I have build a software which is working perfectly fine without any issues. But one of the new users is entering data using UNICODE in his local language. The data when entered is showing up perfectly fine in the controls but when that data is sent to a Report for printing it breaks. Here is a screenshot of the data entered in RTF control in the software and what is displayed in

Re: Calling a Postgres function from Windev - 11 months ago

My experience with pgSQL functions is that sometimes if not coded properly they may not return the result in a valid JSON format. Check the final output that you get when calling a function in pgSQL console. Check to see if the structure is something like this or not. [ { "date": "2021-09", "department": "Administration", "

Re: How easy it is to convert a WD project to WB in the latest version? - 1 year ago

Hello Steven, Thanks for the tips and hints. Actually we are planning to rebuild an app (which is quite big) originally built in WD24 to web and I have been trying to convince my boss to adopt the latest version of WX because I read somewhere that we can open WD project in WB and it will convert most of the UI so I am betting on adopting the latest version of WX. If we decide not to buil

How easy it is to convert a WD project to WB in the latest version? - 1 year ago

Hello, Currently we are using WD 24 but are planning to upgrade to WX 29 in coming months. But before we proceed I would like to know if it is really possible to convert an app built in WD to WB or not? If not what and how much work one have we to do in WB? I know it would be hard to say without looking at the actual app but if someone has done this, their inputs will help us make the

Hi, Thanks for your inputs. Learning Dart may not be mandatory anymore as FlutterFlow has integrated AI that will generate necessary source as and when needed. My primary trial with FlutterFlow for building web apps did not go well as the performance is unacceptable especially when the amount of data is large. Probably may be because I am still new to it and don't know how to fine t

Thanks @Al and @Guenter, I will surely check the Expression Edition. But I am confident that I will be able to learn and adopt to the new IDE of WX 28. My main concern is that if the IDE is unstable and crashes a lot then I may have to downgrade to WX27. Will this be possible? TIA

Need frank opinion about upgrading to latest version of WX - 1 year ago

Hello, Currently we are using WX 20 & 24 but are planning to upgrade, but before we bite the bullet need to know whether it is worth upgrading directly to the latest WX 28 or not? Another thing is that if we purchase WX 28 and then can we downgrade the license to use WX 27 if required? This would only be required if WX 28 does not fulfill out expectations. Finally I hear rumors that

Re: ChatGPT - 1 year ago

After playing with ChatGPT for a month now I can say that I am able to find really good code samples in Python, C# and Pascal but not in WLanguage. One of the reason for this is because the source file saved by WinDev IDE are in binary format and the engine of ChatGPT cannot process these binary files. If we want ChatGPT to give more accurate results for WLanguage then we need to host the c
