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.

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.

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.
Creating a scrolltext widget
In this article we will be creating a scrolltext widget from scratch, which is a good way to demonstrate how easy it is to write your own controls in QTX.

As with all products of this complexity there are bound to be things that can be polished and made better – and we intendContinue reading “Quartex Pascal 1.0 Hotfix 2”
Quartex Pascal 1.0 Hotfix 1

We are aiming at having the hotfix out friday at theContinue reading “Quartex Pascal 1.0 Hotfix 1”
Quartex Pascal version 1 is available
It is with much joy that we finally release version 1.0 of Quartex Pascal! It represents three years of continuous development, and over a 1,5 million lines of streamlined, hard-core programming! Quartex Pascal is very much ‘the road less taken’ in terms of engineering. A product that compiles object pascal to JavaScript, has its ownContinue reading “Quartex Pascal version 1 is available”
