I only found a problem in my PE edition - as you can see in the image below, I don’t have the option to set the layout.
I guess that’s why my layout isn’t being saved. When I select a few Views like Solution Explorer, Toolbox etc. and set them inside the IDE, the next time I open the IDE, they’re gone.
In C11.1 it works fine.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Yes, same problem, not saving layout. It looks like a Sharp Develop problem as there is no file in Folder “layouts”, and if you click in the IDE on “View” > “Choose Layout”, you get nothing.
When I initially installed, the setup didn’t complete adding the shortcuts because Malwarebytes said it was ransomware. However, it appeared that the software was installed.
When I opened windows explorer on my left monitor and navigated to c:\Clarion12\bin and launched Clarion.exe, I saw the prompt asking if I wanted to register Clarion 12, but then nothing appeared on the screen, and I killed the process in task manager.
When I moved explorer to the middle screen and ran Clarion.exe, it worked fine. I got the registration window.
All my applications work with MSSQL Driver and most of them are in the cloud. In my opinion, it is an ideal combination of Clarion and SQL Server. With C11 PE, everything worked perfectly, when I made only those applications without any changes in C12 PE, none of the Browses work as before, each one is much slower, and the biggest problem is that some Browses do not execute at all and the program remains hanging and only the Task Manager helps to stop it. For me, the current version of C12 PE is a disappointment and I hope that this problem will be fixed soon. As a developer who has been programming in Clarion for 30 years, I have looked forward to every new version of Clarion and its progress, but for now I have to stay in C11 until this is resolved. Is it possible that only I have this problem, if anyone has the same problem please report it. (Just to note that I’m using SQL Servers 2022 running on Windows Servers 2022)
The file “C:\Clarion12\bin\ClarionHelp.chm” is dated 15 August 2023 and is identical to “C:\Clarion11.1\bin\ClarionHelp.chm”
The PDF files in C:\Clarion12\docs seem to be text-identical to C:\Clarion11.1\docs, apart from some page numbering and formatting. So far ExamDiff Pro can find no new text.
So where is the documentation about the new IDE and all the promised AI features?
I was expecting the Unicode support for years, but I got 2 main problems in my first try.
If I type a special Chinese Word 埗 (it can be typed here and in MS word) in the clw using an assignment myStr = ‘埗’, when I save the clw file and try to compile, there are 3 Errors saying Illegal character and the whole clw file is ruined and cannot use anymore, not even I deleted the assignment, I have to delete the entire clw and do it over again
I can’t key in the Chinese Word 埗 in Clarion Window entry field, it just shows a question mark (?)
Please advise what should be done to enable unicode code support in C12?
I successfully recompiled all my apps with C12. 50 Apps in one solution.
However, I get an annoying error when loading each app,
“Errors were found on reading templates.
See the Output Pad for more information.”
The output pad shows NO ERRORS. I do use some of my own templates but no third parties. The app works properly, and prints PDF documents properly. and all 50 DLL`s show no errors at all when compiling. Puzzling and annoying.
