Feature Sneak Preview: Reporting in REALbasic
Report printing is the most requested feature for REALbasic. Here's a sneak peak at the Report Editor we are working on for a release later this year. Reports are project items like windows and classes. Creating a report is very much like creating a window. All report controls have properties and events as well. And since they are objects, they can be subclassed. The data you print can come from a database, arrays or just about any other data source. More details will be available once this feature is ready for beta testing. Stay tuned.

Cocoa in REALbasic Update
As you are aware, we are working to create a new platform layer for REALbasic based on Cocoa, the API for Mac OS X. Making this important change to Cocoa has been a much larger project than we originally expected. We now plan to reach beta sometime this summer and should be shipping later this year.

If you are interested in seeing any of the Cocoa functionality, you can join the REALbasic Beta Program. You must have a current REALbasic license to join the beta program.
