Introduction to the course.

01

Navigation Designer

(5m 14s)

In this lesson, we'll explore the new Navigation Designer in DataFlex 2025, designed to simplify drill-down app development. This panel visualizes navigation paths between views and widgets and lets you create new views by dragging them from the palette, with smart suggestions based on table relationships. Let's see how it transforms navigation design!

02

Composite Class

(2m 17s)

In this lesson, we'll introduce the new Composite class, which simplifies working with nested child objects. Although it looks like an object, the Composite functions as a class, allowing you to define child objects, methods, and properties directly within it. This streamlined approach is especially useful for developing widgets in the cWebDynamicObjectContainer and the new cWebWidgetContainer. Let's see how it can enhance your development workflow!

03

DataFlex Dashboards

(8m 33s)

In this lesson, we'll explore the new tools for creating dynamic, customizable dashboards in DataFlex 2025, available for both WebApps and FlexTron. With configurable widgets managed by the cWebWidgetContainer, you can tailor layouts and individual widget settings. Plus, the Studio now supports dashboard modeling and widget templates. Let's get started!

04

JavaScript Classes

(3m 55s)

In this lesson, we'll cover the migration of WebApp Framework code to JavaScript ES6 classes. This update replaces the older pseudo classes with modern JavaScript classes, affecting developers who create custom controls. We'll discuss best practices for migrating your controls, compatibility considerations, and limitations with pseudo class subclassing. Let's explore the new class system!

05

Password Hashing

(1m 16s)

In this lesson, we'll look at enhanced password security in DataFlex 2025. The cWebSessionManagerStandard now includes default password encryption, with the new cPasswordHasher class implementing a modern, versioned hashing algorithm. This setup ensures strong security and seamless future updates. Let's dive into how it works!

06
