The secret to getting AppGen in Clarion 7

28 Feb, 2007  3 Comments

So you think that having no AppGen in Clarion 7 makes it unusable? Listen up because there is a way of getting AppGen to work even though we are only expecting it to be released in Phase 4 of the great Clarion 7 expedition.

  • Step 1: Fire up Clarion 6 - yes, version 6.
  • Step 2: Generate all your source using C6’s AppGen.
  • Step 3: Go to File > Export Project File command, and export your newly generated source to a .PRJ file
  • Step 4: Open that .PRJ file in Clarion 7
  • Step 5: Build, pat yourself on the back, and then run.

And there you have AppGen for Clarion 7 in 5 easy steps. Another thing is that all of the new C7 code is contained in conditional compile statements, which makes that C6 app of yours virtually unchanged.

Aaah… the beauty of Clarion 7.
