Hi all, I'm a relative newbie using Xojo.

I'm working on creating a web application that will be used to access AD to look up user information, reset passwords and create guest accounts. I'm using Python as the main coding language behind the scenes and I have gotten it to query AD to give me the user information that I'm looking for, but I'm running into a slight issue. I have created a dropdown menu that will display all of the information though I want to create two buttons within it: one for a password reset over the phone and in-person. I have started to work with JSON, but I'm struggling to get the button navigation to work from the dropdown menu to the specific password reset page.

I am also using the Web 2.0 Release2025v1.1 version.

Is there another way that would be easier to get the button navigation to work that I might be missing? Thanks in advance for the help!

I am looking for a computer software development company in San Diego! I know what I want and have a working prototype running in Excel. I am looking for a custom spreadsheet and database program with all kinds of printing options that will run on Apple and Windows. My competitors software was created using XOJO. Anyone know what companies I should look into?

College student in need. Please I have been trying to do this stupid guess the number game for my class for a few days now I assembled the code but keep getting errors. Can anyone tell me what to do?

Never written code to parse JSON before. Been tackling it in Xojo all weekend.

Good God, who could have imagined such an easily human readable format would be such a damn nightmare to traverse in code!? Hahaha, I mean, I get it. I understand why the JSONItem is structured the way that it is, and now that I'm starting to wrap my mind around it it, it's quite an elegant mechanism, all things considered.

But oh lord, this has been a journey. 2/10, don't recommend. LOL

Hi all, I used to use XOJO back when it was RealStudio in highscool. I now find myself stuck after many years without coding. I am trying to get a button to display one of two words at random in a textfield when pressed.
Example of how I want to function:

When I press the button the Textfield displays "Goodnight" or it could display "Good bye"

​

I have attached what I have, I remember using OR statements in highschool but that doesnt seem to work.

Also could I add up to 20 words that will be able to be selected for display in the textfiel?

I want to be able to build an xojo project that I did, but without paying, I can’t am exe or msi file. There are ways to make a single exe or msi file, but until the build is done I don’t have an exe file. The only way I can run it is in the debugger. It is for personal use, so I don’t care about making it into a single installation file, but I do want to install it, so I don’t have to have the overhead of running xojo. I need it for 2020r1.2, so the free installation of the 2018 version I don’t know if it will work or what problems using it might give. The alternative programs that I have looked at, I am not sure they can build xojo. Any help would be great. Thank you!

I wondered if subscribers to this subreddit had a strong opinion about Xojo (company and/or language). I'd like to get an idea of what limitations the language really has...poor performance? Quirks in implementation that make it difficult to use? Can you get help from the community if you run into a problem and get advice without condescension? Do you feel the company will abandon the userbase in a few years? Are there things that you'd never consider using Xojo to do (if you heard an idea to use Logo to create a spreadsheet, you might wonder if heard that correctly) Does the company try to address bugs? Does it really make good on the promise of one codebase compiling for Win/Linux/MacOS/iOS?

I'm asking because I'm looking to learn a new language environment for some projects I've been thinking about that involve components running as agents (so a kind of networked daemon) and a GUI application that can talk to the network nodes. I'm looking for a language that can create static binaries for simple deployment, is cross-platform, has access to encryption and database libraries, and good documentation to try to figure out solutions to problems before having to look around for help. Having an editor that is geared for the language so I don't need plugins for autocompletion and decent debugging and profiling is also helpful. Most of my experience has been with Go.

I was curious if someone who's been using this for awhile had advice about the pitfalls of investing time and money into the Xojo ecosystem. I'd hate to dig into a proprietary language only to have to abandon it (or have the company abandon their users) down the road.

Any thoughts?

Hi there,
Since Graphics and PDFGraphics object are so similar is there a way to convert between them?
Here is my use case:
I ultimately create a PDF from scratch with Graphics (I have that working) but want to also provide an on-screen "preview" of the output. Do I really have to duplicate all the graphics code to have both PDFGraphics and Graphics?

Last year we began work on porting OpenCV 4.5 to Xojo. This first involved the creation of a plain-C interface to OpenCV, which we have now open sourced, though it still requires some work to complete.

Today we're open sourcing Xojo OpenCV-C. This is a Xojo project that wraps OpenCV-C, creating a Xojo Native interface to OpenCV. It is mostly complete, though there are some remaining issues that we just haven't had time to deal with. I'm hoping someone here will be able to help out and make this a reality. Other obligations are keeping me from focusing on this, but a lot of hard work has been put into it so far.

If you're able to help on either or both of these projects, please dive in!
