- /documentation/pages/Guides/PhoneGap/CLI Support/index.xml
The *[ui:Cordova CLI Builder]* in Alpha Anywhere lets you generate and build Cordova projects for Android and iOS outside of the classic PhoneGap build workflow.
This page covers the supported build paths, required tools, Android and iOS build options, privacy manifest requirements, and recent Cordova platform updates that affect current Alpha Anywhere builds.
- Multi-Language Support in a PhoneGap Mobile App
- /documentation/pages/Guides/Localization/localizing mobile apps.xmlAdding multi-language support for an offline-enabled PhoneGap application cannot be done using Language tags or Text Dictionary tags since these tags are resolved by the Alpha Anywhere Application Server, requiring an Ajax Callback. This article explains how to add multi-language support in an offline application.
- JQuery Support
- /documentation/pages/Server/Guide/Design/View/CSS/JQuery Support.xmlAlpha Anywhere uses jQuery. The version of jQuery used can be changed from the version that ships with Alpha Anywhere to a specific version hosted on another server or included as part of the project.
- Support for Hotspots on Images
- /documentation/pages/Guides/Desktop/Xdialog/Support for Hotspots on Images.xmlYou can define image maps for images that are displayed on an Xdialog with the {image} command. The image map defines rectangular areas on the image, the icon to use when the mouse is over the defined area and the event name to fire when the user clicks on the defined area. In the sample shown below the image map has four defined areas. If the user moves the mouse and clicks on one of the squares in the image, the 'value' variable will be updated to reflect the name of the square the user clicked on and displayed in the input area.
- Enhanced ActiveX Support
- /documentation/pages/Ref/Desktop_Api/UI Functions/XDialog/Controls/Enhanced ActiveX Support.xmlAlpha Anywhere provides support for the use of ActiveX controls on forms and Xdialogs. Third party ActiveX controls, as illustrated by the next picture, can add exciting new features to Alpha Anywhere applications. A Graph Control from Microsoft Office Used on an Alpha Anywhere Form:
- .NET Framework Support
- /documentation/pages/Guides/Dotnet Integration/.NET Framework Support.xml
Alpha Anywhere supports calling into .NET Framework assemblies from Xbasic. This opens up a wealth of additional capabilities for Xbasic programs for very little effort.
The .NET Framework support is encapsulated by an object-oriented Xbasic wrapper in the form of a namespace. In practice, this means that once someone has written the few lines of Xbasic code it takes to import a .NET class, calling that class's methods will be no more complicated than calling any other Xbasic function.
- Objects that support Parsing
- /documentation/pages/Ref/Desktop_Api/Layout/Object/Objects that support Parsing.xmlSome of the SQL objects support parsing directly. By this, we mean that you can declare the variable and immediately have it parse a string to assign values. These objects include:
