Dyalog Version 9
Dyalog Windows Version 9 for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows NT replaced Dyalog APL/W Version 8.2.
New Features
Version 9 introduced a completely new Integrated Development Environment that employs dockable windows, an MDI Editor, and a host of new features.
Docking also extends to Forms, SubForms, CoolBands and ToolControls so that you can provide docking facilities in your end-user application.
In Version 9, namespaces become truly first-class objects. This means that you can have an expression that evaluates to a namespace reference, and you can assign namespace references in the same way that you can assign variables and functions.
Properties of GUI objects may now be assigned and referenced directly as if they were variables, and Methods (and events) may be invoked as if they were functions. This new syntax for manipulating GUI objects is faster and easier to use.
Version 9 includes much improved COM support which takes full advantage of namespace references.
There are 5 new objects; Animation, BrowseBox, ComboEx, DateTimePicker and SysTrayItem and the capabilities of the Printer object have been improved.
