Hi all,

the Ontimize developers have created again new components and functionalities for our framework in order to provide us the best improvements for our Onti-applications.
As usual, all of you can check how they work and how to include them in your applications using the Ontimize QuickStart demo and its code, both placed here.
Some of these new Ontimize components and functionalities which were included in the Ontimize QuickStart are:

• A form navigator to navigate through the visited forms in an Ontimize application, in the same way as the navigation rows in a normal web browser.



• A currency cell editor which automatically appends the currency symbol.



• A new shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+A) to allow client users to open a window with the remote administration information (such as the normal server window) when it was hidden by the developer, or the property server monitor was set to ‘no’.
• Private radio button to indicate the privacy of each form template.



• Control + option to maximize the application dialog windows.
