Gas 3.0

After nearly a year, we're finally bringing you the long awaited Gas 3.0! The extreme delay resulted in part from a lack of necessary data for some promised new features. We're happy to announce that Gas Price Watch has quite generously granted us priveleged access to their data, and have worked hand in hand with Interdimension Media to make Gas 3.0 everything we all hoped it would be. An extra special thank you goes out from us to them for their help.

That said, we hope you enjoy all of the promised features plus a few more, some slick new animations, dramatically increased stability, and a few new skins. We also want to thank the few who made donations and encouraged continued development; again, we apologize for the delay. For those who haven't donated yet, we hope that Gas 3.0 will exceed your expectations, and ask that if you continue to find the widget useful please consider tossing a small donation our way. We already have some additional features in the design stages, and hope to bring them to you in the not too distant future!

Continue to make gas consumption less painful with the satisfaction of knowing you got the best deal in town. Gas provides a simple, elegant, easy to use method for finding the cheapest gas in the area, right from your Dashboard. Whether you're going cross town or cross country, Gas delivers information from GasPriceWatch.com in order to provide you with the most up to date gas prices available. Have a nice drive.

5. Vastly improved network efficiency combined with intelligent caching saves bandwidth
6. Dramatic improvements to overall stability and robustness

WordGuise 3.5.8 Universal

WordGuise is a REALbasic plugin that defines a text editor widget for windows and macintosh. It is also an RTF control, supporting most if not all of the gadgets an RTF document provides and it allows embedding of picture objects in the text. The WordGuise widget also provides support for Waste documents, because it sits on top of the well known Waste library. On windows wordguise exploits RichEdit and implements interfaces allowing picture embedding.

The WordGuise class inherits from a WordGuiseContainer control. The plugin allows creation of a WordGuise instance in code (on-the-fly), in addition to a default RB behavior, i.e., WordGuise is a typical control. An instance can be created by dragging the WordGuiseContainer on the window and then setting the super to WordGuise. Embedding can be done in a window, a panel or a RectControl of your choice. WordGuise can also be modified to act as a StaticText field, while you can set it to have focus, enable drag and drop or select its caption. WordGuise on the Mac can be extended to WordGuiseEx. This will allow usage of the new Waste 3.0 engine in MacOSX/Mach-O. When using WordGuiseEx, make sure to remove WordGuise plugin from the Plugins folder at the root of the REALbasic application, and vice versa, when using WordGuise do not put WordGuiseEx in the Plugins folder. WordGuiseEx has a different dylib (Mach-O) but otherwise is identical to WordGuise when it comes to MacOS PEF (OSX,classic) and Windows. Note that the WordGuise package comes with sample projects, while the WordGuiseEx package only contains the plugin. Further, if you purchase WordGuiseEx, you will need a license for WordGuise (which also includes all other plugins listed on this site) as well.

New in version 3.5.8:

[fix] WordGuiseEx (MacOS): Multiple WordGuise widgets in a composited window will not block advancing focus anymore, allowing proper text input to the focussed wordguise widget or editfield. Bug was introduced when Waste 3.0a1/WordGuiseEx came to life.

[fix] Windows: Calling a WordGuiseObject method in the WordGuise.SelChange or TextChange events no longer induce crashes during start up.

[fix] All: Setting the DragAndDrop flag, without setting a dragflavor no longer crashes the plugin when the exception raised from the plugin was handled.

System requirements:
REALbasic 5.5 or later.

System support:
PPC/Intel
