We are happy to report that a new update of Quartex Pascal is out and available for download. This is quite a monumental build that introduces more infrastructure for non-visual components – and several fixes to issues that showed up with the introduction of datamodules. What’s new and cool? Visually there is not much change,Continue reading “Quartex Pascal v1.0.1.4 is out”

Working with JS events
In this article I will focus on a relatively advanced topic, meant for those of you that implement components and widgets yourself. Especially if you are writing components that is meant to be used by JavaScript developers outside your object pascal ecosystem – or sold as a commercial package for Quartex Pascal.
Global defines and ARM targets
Behind the scenes we have been very busy adapting our entire codebase so it compiles with both Delphi and Lazarus, with the aim of delivering a fully native IDE for MacOS, Windows and Linux – under both x64 and ARM chipsets.
Platform specific defines
Today we added a new token to the “APP::” magic namespace, namely “config”. As the name hints at this provides information about the current build configuration.
Using LLM’s with Quartex Pascal
Nico Wouterse is no stranger to anyone in the Quartex community and have been with us since the project’s inception. He has worked quite closely with LLM technologies the past few years, building his own design library and design principle framework.
Datamodules are now here!
In the previous post I talked about our support for non-visual components. This is now in place and I moved on to the next ticket on our list: datamodules! And we already have this working!
Support for non-visual components
Up until now the form designer in Quartex Pascal has focused purely on visual controls. But as the IDE matures -more and more features common to RAD development tools are surfacing. Non visual components are finally supported by the IDE!
Hotfix for version 1.0.1.0
A small bug was discovered in the treeview on the main form that contains the Run-Time Library file overview. After downloading and updating to the latest packages – the items still retained references to the previous packages prior to the update. This sadly caused an access violation if you began navigating the treeview before clickingContinue reading “Hotfix for version 1.0.1.0”
Quartex Pascal v1.0.1.0 is out!
We hope we have managed to fix most of the hiccups people have experienced, and we will of course continue to polish and add more and more features according to our plans and roadmap.
From handle to widget
In the Quartex Pascal RTL we support both traditional pascal events, like people are used to from Delphi or Freepascal, as well as delegate objects native to JavaScript. Most widgets exposes standard events like OnClick when it’s useful, and if you need more specific event handling you can attach a delegate for it.
