1. I've made more changes to the boot files for increased stability and
they now make use of boot.js. This should centralizes where the boot loader
code is and should make it easier to create your own custom boot loaders.
So make sure to copy both boot.html _and_ boot.js into your current
projects.
2. I've added the ability to turn on Connection Buffering. For example the
following code will now "snap" on to the browser with speed thanks to the
buffering instead of slowly painting its way on.
Main_Window.Buffer_Connection (True);
for i in Buttons'First .. Buttons'Last loop
for n in Buttons (i)'First .. Buttons (i)'Last loop
Buttons (i) (n).Create (Grid_Box, "1");
Buttons (i) (n).Font (Family => "monospace", Height => "11px");
Buttons (i) (n).Background_Color ("lightgray");
Buttons (i) (n).Vertical_Align (Middle);
Buttons (i) (n).Minimum_Width (25);
Buttons (i) (n).Maximum_Width (25);
Buttons (i) (n).Minimum_Height (25);
Buttons (i) (n).Maximum_Height (25);
Buttons (i) (n).Text_Alignment (Center);
Buttons (i) (n).Overflow (Hidden);
Buttons (i) (n).Margin ("1px", "1px", "1px", "1px");
end loop;
Grid_Box.New_Line;
end loop;
Main_Window.Buffer_Connection (False);
Buffering can be turned on and left on for most applications unless you are
going to be updating your GUI with tasks. In those cases either turn off
the buffering or make sure that you run Object.Flush_Buffer with in the
task.
The buffer is flushed:
1. At the end of On_Connect
2. After any incoming event has been handled
3. Before retrieving any property of an element from the browser.
4. Any time Flush_Buffer is called (it can be called on any object to flush
the entire connection).
Buffering is turned off by default (perhaps that will change in the future,
but so far I am leaning to not do so). To turn on buffering just call using
any object on a connection Object.Buffer_Connection
