WINDEV 2025 of course benefits from the 208 common new features of version 2025, including editor enhancements, code-generating AI, palettes, the new segmented button, faster Webservices, code editor enhancements including the password vault, the new Imaged Percentage graph type, SCM enhancements, WLanguage and OOP enhancements, etc.

In version 2025, the framework's graphics engine adopts new technologies.
Remember: the framework's graphics engine handles all aspects of application display and end-user interaction.
It's an important element of the framework, conditioning both performance and display quality.
Version 2025 now relies on the processors present on the PC's graphics card.
Today, this type of processor is far more powerful than the one on the PC motherboard. Its use also frees up motherboard resources.
This technology is based on Direct2D.
Your application windows display much faster.

Another major new feature of version 2025 in the graphics engine is the possibility of no longer using handles for field control management.
The greater the number of fields, the greater the gain when the window is opened.
Another advantage of this new feature is that the absence of handles frees up Windows resources.
Use of this technology is optional: calling the WLanguage function Handle is still possible, of course.

For your applications, you have a choice of either project-level or window-by-window options.
3 graphics engine modes are now available:

• history mode,
• history mode without handle,
• Direct2D mode without handle.

Note that the history mode is selected by default.
The mode can be changed either for the entire project, when describing the project, or per window, using the new WLanguage function WinOptimize.

The concept of palettes for your applications allows the end user to switch from light to dark mode, to the dominant Windows color or any other color you allow.
It's a feature much appreciated by end-users.
You can also programmatically change the background of the administration window to red (light) to distinguish it.
See new products 007 to 023.

The new Segmented Button control allows you to present single or multiple choices in an up-to-date way, and to process them easily.

Smart controls save valuable time during the UI creation process, and immediately make your applications more sophisticated.
WINDEV 2025 introduces two new Smart control fields:

• Creation of a QR code incorporating an image.
• Enter page numbers.

To generate a QR Code including an image, simply specify the QR code content, the image to be embedded and its size in the QR Code.
Remember: Smart controls are delivered with their source code, so they can be fully modified and customized.

The new Smart control "Page sequence input" lets you enter a sequence of numbers and intervals.
The most common use is to enter pages for printing.

In version 2025, the Table control enables the user to sort and filter all columns, including non-indexed columns.

• WLanguage function BuildBrowsingTable offers a new feature that lets you specify whether text memos will be displayed as single-line or multiline.

The "Apollon" skin template appears in version 2025.
This allows for new customization possibilities.
Benefit of this new feature in version 2025:
Instant new look!
Use these templates in your applications and software packages, as well as all the skin templates provided with WINDEV.
Don't forget you can apply a palette to change colors, and also create your own skin templates.
WINDEV includes everything you need to create superb UIs.

In 2025, repositionable notes go through the "fountain of youth" phase.
Their look is in line with current trends.

As you know, it's possible to programmatically add panes to tabs.
The content of the pane is an Internal Window.
This Internal Window can contain groups of fields.
And the same Internal Window is often used in several different panes.
A programmed action on a group of fields, such as making it invisible, now allows you to specify the pane so as not to impact other panes.

The appearance of the tab could already be modified using an image.
In version 2025, it is now possible to modify the appearance of the tab by setting its parameters via the "7 tabs". Visualization thus remains vector-based. You can also define the margins between the various elements using the "7 tabs".

A RepeatString Zone is filled from the top, as its name suggests.
For best performance, filling takes place as the end-user moves through the site.
See new feature 432.

Opacity can now be applied to windows and window fields.
This can be useful for applying certain style book guidelines.

In some cases, it may be useful to propose folded content that is different from the content of the drop-down list.
The new DisplayedValueComboBox property has been introduced for this purpose.
In version 2025, programming is no longer required to use this feature.

In a RepeatString containing a Table control, it is now possible to render invisible a table displayed on one and only one line.

A field is made up of different elements: its label, the input zone itself, any integrated button, the combo button, table headers, the scroll bar...
For special applications, such as programmed popup alignments, it may be necessary to retrieve the coordinates of the various elements.
The WLanguage function ControlRectangle retrieves this type of coordinate in the form of a "rectangle": coordinates + width and height.

You can change the color of a black & white icon by selecting the new "Force to monochrome" option in the "7 tabs", Style tab.

• Text display using the gFontItalic function has been improved.
• New loading error treatment for fields HTML FIELDS.
• It is now possible to specify a callback for filling the images in the field ImageList field.
• New function HeightAdapted: calculates the height required for a field to display its full dynamic content.

Every new skin template and most of the old ones now use a palette.
Numerous pallets are delivered by default, including:

• clear mode,
• dark mode.

To change palettes programmatically, simply use the new WLanguage function PaletteChange.
Pallet changeover is carried out in real time.

In addition to the colors available in the palette, it is sometimes necessary to use custom colors.
In version 2025, for each new color defined, it is possible to specify a color to be used in the other mode.
For example, if we define a color named "Warning", this color will be "red" in light mode, and "pink" in dark mode (because red doesn't show up on a black background).

The contents of the icons and buttons are automatically modified to take account of the automation mode.
Graphs are also suitable for.
Note that an option allows buttons and icons to switch to monochrome mode when changing modes.

A printed report may contain different types of content on the front and back of the page.
A typical example is an invoice, printed on one side of a sheet, with general terms and conditions of sale printed on the reverse.
In version 2025, it becomes possible to use 2 different states to print documents.

The new WLanguage function iInitReportVerso is used to specify the name of the report to be printed on the reverse side.
This report can be printed on a single page, or on several pages.
If there are more pages on the reverse side than on the front side, you can use "blank" pages on the front.
You can also use a PDF document on the back of each page.

The code is simple:

The preview of a report containing a different front and back side shows the pages side by side.

In version 2025, it is now possible to insert diagrams created using the Diagram field in help pages.
This facilitates visual representation.

The WINDEV environment benefits from the common new features of version 2025 (see new features 048 to 058 ).
In particular, the boosted speed, the choice of vocabulary, the new shortcuts, the new panes, the more practical project explorer, the evolutions of the code editor, etc.

The new Segmented Button control field can be understood as a set of ON/OFF buttons grouped together in a single field.
By default, this control uses a cohesive design language.
As users expect, the control supports single or multiple choices.
The content of each choice can be a text or an image.
Programming is much simpler.

The main parameters:

• number of squares,
• box contents,
• single or multiple choice,
• anchoring options and automatic width adjustment,
• separators,
• separator style,
• outer borders and button borders,
• ...

You can transform a Check Box control into a multiple-choice Segmented Button control, or a Radio Button control into a single choice Segmented Button control.

Programming a Segmented Button is much simpler than programming a set of Radio Button, Check Box or Switch controls.
In the code of a Segmented Button control, you can:

• get the state of one of the buttons,
• gray out or hide a button,
• change the label or the tooltip,
• add options dynamically,
• multilingual labels,
• persistence,
• images, Markdown text,
• ...

One use for Segmented Buttons that you might not think of is a selection UI with many different choices.

• Exclusive Segmented Button animation: the selection moves to the new choice when the state changes.

Reactive Procedures are used to automatically trigger the execution of processes.
A Reactive Procedure is executed when a variable or the value or content of a field used in the procedure is modified, either by the end user or by programming.
The Reactive Procedure continuously "observes" the variables and fields concerned to detect changes in value, and in this case runs automatically.
A variable or field changes? The Procedure is executed!

Why create a Reactive Procedure?
Well, it's really very practical.
Let's take a simple example: entering an amount before or after tax. When an amount is entered in a control, the other controls update automatically.
Of course, you could write this operation in WLanguage, directly in each control.
In this case, you need to create a procedure that performs the calculation, and place the call to this procedure in the Modification Processing of each of the 3 fields.
With a Reactive Procedure, all you have to do is write down the calculation formula and that's it.
With 2 or 3 fields, it's still simple, but imagine with 5 or 6 fields, and the risks involved in making a modification.
And how do you handle a programmed change of value in one of the Edit control fields?
With a Reactive Procedure, there's nothing to program, and the procedure is carried out automatically: no forgetting.

The main advantage of this method is that monitoring for changes in field values is delegated to the.
There's no need to write the calls in every control where changes can be made.
Resource consumption is zero, as the framework takes care of everything in an optimized way: it's the field or variable that automatically signals their change of value to the Reactive Procedure.
The single, clear code of the Reactive Procedure therefore makes it possible to "monitor" and update several different fields and variables.

Keyword Reactive keyword indicates that the procedure must monitor the variables and fields used in its code.
And, of course, to execute in the event of a modification.
A Reactive Procedure can be a global procedure (and therefore permanently reactive), a local window procedure or a local field procedure.

Reactive Procedures offer 2 options:

• Deadline: execute after a given deadline. For example The procedure will run 100 milliseconds after a value change.
  

  REACTIVE PROCEDURE CalculateTotal() <delay = 100ms>
  EDT_TOTAL = EDT_SUBTOTAL + EDT_SUBTOTAL * (EDT_VAT+1)  /100

• Execution: a Reactive Procedure can be programmatically triggered.

A Reactive Procedure can modify a variable or a field used by another Reactive Procedure.
In this case, the other Reactive Procedure will run.
The framework implements the necessary security mechanisms to avoid calls in a loop, for example.

To know that a field can be modified by a Reactive Procedure, simply look at the bottom left of the field's "7 tabs" window.

• the "23" icon indicates the number of times the field is used in the code.
• the "7" pictogram indicates the number of times Reactive Procedures have been used.

Clicking on a picto opens the list of uses (cross -references).

Desired processes in this window:

• Disable the three radio button options, the two combo boxes and the OK button, until the check box is selected.
• Once the user selects the check box, enable all the options.
• When the user selects the first radio button option, enable the first combo box and disable the second one.
• If the user selects the 2nd option, the first combo must be grayed and the 2nd combo must be un-grayed.
• If the user selects the 3rd option, and so on.

With a Reactive Procedure: 11 simple lines of code!
In this example, all you have to do is create a Local Procedure in the window, declare it as Reactive, and that's it!

WINDEV's window editor benefits from common new features: palettes, new fields, field blurring, template update speed, etc, ...
See new features 007 to 042.

Version 2025 speeds up the opening and use of the "7 tabs" and makes them even more fluid.

The new modifier in version 2025 makes it easy to modify fields.
See New 062.

The field creation component appears in version 2025.
It makes it easy to choose which field to use.
See Novelty 065.

Flexbox editing is made easier in version 2025 by the ability to view all Flexbox nestings.
See new feature 772.

When creating or editing a Flexbox control, fields are integrated into the Flexbox.
When one of these fields is resized or moved, the field repositioning algorithm is automatically deactivated to facilitate handling.
In version 2025, this positioning algorithm can be run from the window editor.
The fields will then be correctly positioned. This positioning will be saved.

• Ui error when the content of a combo is empty in one of the languages.

It's now possible to supply a template class that will be used to generate MVP templates (the "M" in MVP).
This automatically implements the code that must be present in all templates.

WINDEV User Groupware benefits from new features common to all User Groupware: OAuth, SSO, ...
See novelties 076 and 790.

For all applications compiled with version 2025, end-users have a new "remember me" option when entering their login.
For security reasons, this feature can be disabled.

When a new version of an application is available, the end user can be notified either when the application is launched, or via a Windows notification.
In version 2025, end-users can also be notified directly from the application.
This is a new Install option, which can be disabled.

As you know, the Private Store supplied as standard lets you host your Windows, iOS and Android applications and links to your websites in a store hosted and managed by your company.
New: the Private Store can now feature the most downloaded applications in first position.

Access to the Store can be defined from the OAuth Server available in the WEBDEV Application Server.

• The install UX of Store applications has been improved.
• iOS + Android mobile app in the Store; it becomes possible to install either as a cross-platform app, or as 2 apps.

In version 2025, a new AAF allows the end user to copy/paste an entire row into a visualization table.

The HTML Editor field now allows the end-user to launch a direct Internet search on the selected word(s).

In version 2025, the Thread type is available in Java.
This makes it easier to manage threads in Java.
Secure threads are also managed.

• Cast operator available.
• property Extra is available on the advanced types concerned.
• Improved copying of class properties.

WLanguage offers 10 new functions for Java.

The Spin control is supported under Linux version 2025.

WLanguage offers 29 new functions and 46 new constants (to be discovered in the online help) for Linux.

Arrays can now be passed as parameters to DotNet functions that expect a parameter of type iEnumerable.

Language remains the cornerstone of development.
In version 2025, WLanguage in WINDEV is further enriched.
It benefits from common new features and many useful evolutions: Reactive Procedure, OAuth, web service speed, encryption, explicit type conversion, unlimited Json size, etc, ...
See new features 123 to 143.

A WINDEV application can launch another application (another process) written in WINDEV or another language.
This mainly concerns Console applications (launched from the command line).
In version 2025, it is possible to read data from the standard output (stdout) and standard error output (stderr).
It is also possible to write to its standard input (stdin).
This allows you to control the process launched, and retrieve the process report.

A WINDEV application can send Notifications that will be displayed in the standard way by Windows.
It's now possible to set button colors or associate buttons with the input area.

51 new constants are available in WLanguage in version 2025:
