You can now import spreadsheet data and use it with drop-down fields. Watch
our video tutorial to learn how to use the new feature. Also, customize the
loading screen and use powerful new formula functions to process text.
Finally, new color themes make it a snap to experiment with app colors.
Import spreadsheet data directly for use with drop-down fields. Paste the data
from your table into our app to automatically generate Calcapp formulas.
Values of drop-down fields can now be edited as text. This feature makes it
possible to paste values from a spreadsheet all at once. It also enables more
efficient keyboard editing.
Our latest sample app converts spreadsheet column data to formulas for use
with drop-down fields. This app uses regular expressions heavily and this post
explains in detail how it was built.
You can now customize the loading screen, also known as the splash screen.
Change the colors or hide the logo, the progress indicator or both. You can
also fully disable the loading screen, which is useful for apps embedded in
web sites.
You can now set base colors for your entire app through the start screen.
These colors affect not just your panels but also the loading screen. We have
also added a theme selector with five pre-defined color themes to allow you to
more easily experiment with colors.
Calcapp now supports three new text-processing functions, enabling you to
determine if text matches a certain pattern and to extract and replace text,
also using patterns. The three functions use so-called regular expressions.
The new CHOOSE function can be used as a compact, fast alternative to IF in
some situations. Use it together with the Index property of drop-down fields
to quickly return data matching a value selected by your user.
The new Index property of drop-down fields returns the numeric position of the
selected value and the Size property returns the number of values. Index is
designed to work well with the new CHOOSE formula function.
Calcapp enables you to create apps that might otherwise have been
created using a spreadsheet. Create apps yourself without
time-consuming and expensive custom software development.
