1. Review Template Fix from last week.
2. Look for common code pattern
3. Create abstract base class (Template Pattern)
4. Convert two classes to derive this
5. Change base class to use passable interface (Adaptor Pattern)
6. Change two classes to use new INTERFACE

Today I'll develop a global template that can set PROP:Skip and PROP:Trn to any control with PROP:ReadOnly. (This makes the control appear as a string, rather than an entry field.) It will also look at the preceding control to see if it's a prompt with a &Hotkey, and remove the superfluous ampersand. Finally, I'll add a local procedure template to override the global template's behavior on particular window controls.

Reports!

Mark has been working on his new product for some time, with many changes and improvements along the way... and now it's here! Probably! Tune in to find out!

UltimateSQL has been due for an update for some time... and here it is! John will take us through all the new and exciting things that UltimateSQL can do!

Mark Overton has never written a class.... well that's about to change! This week, Bruce and John will take Mark through the amazing journey of writing his first class!

A few weeks ago, Mark showed us a new product he was working on called "PalmTree 11". After much input from the community, he's made lots of changes and rebranded it “DexURL Assist”! Today, Mark will be demonstrating his new and improved application!

Intuit provides various hotkeys for adjusting the values of Date fields, and Mike's Hanson's Super Stuff templates offer this same feature. In today's webinar, Mike will implement a similar global template for Time fields.

Over the years, Distributed Data Services, Inc. have created several Clarion utilities to enhance the development of their products, including a Clarion source searching app! But are these tools of use to developers in the Clarion community? Should they be made available as third-party products? Charles wants to find out, so today he'll be demonstrating several tools and asking our opinion!

Adding tokens (such as [FirstName] [LastName]) that your end-users can access to your program can be a huge time saver for them, as well as allowing such things as mail and message merge. Andy shows one way to accomplish this!

Writing classes is one thing, organizing them, commenting them, deriving them, debugging them, and creating them is something else! Those things take time, and the Classify.It! Clarion Class Assistant is here to help! This week, we'll watch Bruce Johnson install and run Classify.It! for the first time ever, with John and Mary there to help him along the way! Why? Because there is no help file yet! This is a first-release Beta, so expect some glitches along the way!
