The MBS plug-in comprises a collection of several plug-in parts which extend the REALbasic development environment with 1,400 classes featuring over 30,000 documented functions. New in this plugin version are classes for Drag and Drop on Windows. We have an alternative class set so you can start drags and accept drops without REAL Studio's events. This way we can support drags with ghost images and custom cursors. We added new ColorSync functions to better create a transformation. You can specify source, intermediate and destination profiles with option flags and intent values. Also we added those new ColorSync classes Apple added with Mac OS X 10.6. This may be the way to go in future Mac OS X versions. Next we updated a few of the libraries we use in our plugins: DynaPDF 2.5.4.543, SQLAPI 3.7.33, JPEG Library and tidy library. If you use our SQL Plugin, you will have to change your code as we modified the way on how to find the library. If you need to add accessibility support to your Mac OS X Carbon application with REAL Studio, we have now a few HIViewMBS methods to support this. So you add code to a window and find your controls and give them a description text. This update is required if you want to use REAL Studio 2010r5 and newer as we changed a few things. Also if you want to use our plugins on a Windows IDE, we highly recommend to use this release. We split the MacOSX plugin into two parts as the Windows IDE of REAL Studio loves to crash with that plugin. The changes in version 10.5: * Added ReadRGBMemoryBegin, ReadRGBMemoryEnd and ReadRGBMemoryStep to TiffPictureMBS class. * Added window.ConstrainWindowToScreen method. * Added SQLConnectionMBS.SetFileOption. * Added SQLDatabaseMBS.Option and SetFileOption methods. * Added new UnZipMBS Constructors for string and memoryblock. * Added ATSUTextLayoutMBS.SetHighlightingMethod as well as two constants for it: kInvertHighlighting and kRedrawHighlighting. * Added DynapdfPDFChoiceValueMBS class. * Added DynapdfMBS.GetFieldChoiceValue function. * Added LCMSMBS.CreateProfilePlaceholder. * Added DNSUtilMBS.LookupMT. * Added XMPFilesMBS.Constructor with Folderitem parameter. * Added XMPFilesMBS.OpenFile with Folderitem parameter. * Added classes for Drag & Drop on Windows: WinDataObjectMBS, WindowsDragSourceMBS and WindowsDropTargetMBS. * Added ColorSync classes for the new ColorSync APIs in Mac OS X 10.6: CSDeviceMBS, CSManagementModuleMBS, CSMutableProfileMBS, CSProfileMBS and CSTransformMBS. * Added CFErrorMBS and CFUUIDMBS classes. * Added new methods on ColorSyncWorldMBS and ColorSyncProfileMBS classes. * Added ColorSyncProfileSetItemMBS class. * Added new Constructor and GetCMMSignature to ColorSyncWorldMBS class. * Added ConvertMovieToFileTrack2 and ConvertMovieToFile2 to QTMovieExporterMBS class so you can get the folderitem for the saved file. * Added OverlayMBS.NSWindow to get the NSWindowMBS instance behind an overlay on Cocoa targets. * Added new methods to the HIViewMBS class: AccessibilityActionDescription, SetAccessibilityIgnored, IsAccessibilityIgnored and SetAuxiliaryAccessibilityDescriptionAttribute. * Added optional sample parameter to TiffPictureMBS Scanline and Scanlines. * Improved CFDictionary <-> Dictionary conversion to pass through CF objects. * DynaPDFMBS.InsertImage now supports console targets. * Updated FontActivateMBS to work with unicode pathes on Windows. * Split MacOSX plugin into two parts to reduce memory consumption on precompiling. * Changed compiler flags for Windows so some plugin parts include less debug information and run faster. This affects: SQL, Matrix, GraphicsMagick, Rockey2, DynaPDF, WindowsScript, WIA, ChartDirector5 * Updated DynaPDF to version 2.5.4.543. * Updated SQLAPI++ to version 3.7.33 in the SQL Plugin part. * Updated JPEG Library to version 8b. * Updated tidy library to current version (18th September 2010). * and more which you see on the release notes. The plug-ins require REALbasic 2006r4 or newer. Also required are 500 MB hard disc space and around 64 MB of RAM in addition to the requirements of REALbasic and your operation system itself. While all plug-in parts compile on Mac OS X (universal), Linux and Windows, each function may depend on additional system requirements to work successfully. Plugin licenses are available for components or for the complete collection. Starting at 20 Euro ($29 USD) for one component. The complete package costs 199 Euro ($279 USD) for commercial usage. If you buy a current license, you will get free updates for one year. After that year, you can update your license to cover an additional year. The plugins can be downloaded on MBS' website as one big package or several smaller ones: http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/realb ... gins.shtml The online documentation can be found here: http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.net/ Read the complete release notes here: http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/realb ... otes.shtml For questions and announcements you may subscribe to our email list athttp://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/rea ... list.shtml or visit the list archive athttp://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/listarchive/ Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 1 post ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
