	<procedure starts-with="Browse"/> <!--any proc starting with "Browse"-->
	<procedure contains="Tree"/> <!--any proc whose name contains "Tree"-->

• height of custom caption can be specified (in pixels):

• themed controls now can accept "disabled" values:

	<type name="text" prop="fillcolor" color="blue" disabled="silver"/>

An example of theme

  <theme name="Blue theme">
    <!-- color codes from http://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm -->
    
    <type name="window" prop="fillcolor" color="10583155"/> <!-- Slate Blue -->

    <type name="list" prop="fillcolor" color="13089173"/>  <!-- Baby Blue -->
    <type name="list" prop="fontcolor" color="9247509"/>   <!-- Denim Dark Blue -->
    <type name="list" prop="fontsize" value="10"/>
    <type name="list" prop="selectedfillcolor" color="8285526"/>   <!-- Marble Blue -->
    <type name="list" prop="flat" value="1"/>
    
    <type name="text" prop="fontcolor" color="white"/>

    <type name="button" prop="fillcolor" color="8269108"/> <!-- Blue Whale -->
    <type name="button" prop="fontcolor" color="white"/>
    
    <type name="entry" prop="fillcolor" color="gray"/>
    <type name="entry" prop="fontcolor" color="yellow"/>
    <type name="entry" prop="fontstyle" style="bold"/>
    
    <type name="prompt" prop="fontcolor" color="blue"/>
    <type name="prompt" prop="trn" value="1"/>

    <type name="string" prop="fontcolor" color="blue"/>
    <type name="string" prop="trn" value="1"/>
    
    <!-- custom caption -->
    <caption usemin="0" usemax="0" useclose="1" usehelp="1" useoptions="0">
      <ImageName>DSCN0422.JPG</ImageName>

        <!--<fontsize>16</fontsize>-->
      </buttons>
    </caption>

v1.10

• NEW: inline function parameters:

  <action name="Call" function="ALERT" parameter="F10Key"/>

Only one parameter allowed to be inline.

• NEW: Below is xml block from school.xml demonstrating how to prevent program hanging (caused by App frame menu activation):

  <global>
    <!--Prevents program hanging-->
    <event name="BeforeAcceptLoop" position="1">
      <action name="Call" function="ALERT" parameter="AltKeyPressed"/>
      <action name="Call" function="ALERT" parameter="F10Key"/>
      <action name="Call" function="ALERT" parameter="CtrlF10"/>
      <action name="Call" function="ALERT" parameter="ShiftF10"/>
      <action name="Call" function="ALERT" parameter="CtrlShiftF10"/>
      <action name="Call" function="ALERT" parameter="AltSpace"/>
    </event>
  </global>

v1.09

You can now add <where> elements under <property> to define conditions of "SetProp".
Following example sets bold font style to ?Close button if the text is "Close":

      <action name="SetProp" field="?Close">
        <property name="fontstyle" value="bold">
          <where field="?Close" propname="Text" value="Close"/>
        </property>
      </action>

More interesting example changes entry picture to @p##-##-##-##-#P of all entries whose picture is P###-##-####P or p###-##-####p:

      <!-- Change 'Number' picture from @P###-##-####P to @P##-##-##-##-#P -->
      <action name="SetProp" type="entry">
        <property name="Text" value="@P##-##-##-##-#P">
          <where propname="Text" op="match" value="P###-##-####P|p###-##-####p"/>
        </property>
      </action>

You can specify "op" attribute to define Boolean operation, available operations are:

• "=" or "EQ" (default, you can omit it)
• "<>" or "NE"
• "<" or "LT"
• ">" or "GT"
• "<=" or "LE"
• ">=" or "GE"
• "MATCH"
• "INRANGE"

v1.08

You can use field="?" in events. Following example performs Export action for current field:

<global>
    <event name="OpenWindow">
      <!-- Assign Export hot key  for every list in the app -->
      <action name="SetProp" type="list">
        <property name="Alrt" value="CtrlShiftE"></property>
      </action>
    </event>

    <!-- Export each list in the app -->
    <event name="alertkey" field="?" key="CtrlShiftE">
      <action name="Export" expression="Excel"></action>
    </event>
</global>

v1.06

"Call" actions look like this:

      <action name="Call" function="HIDE">
        <parameter value="?Help"></parameter>
      </action>

v1.05

• new ACTION:Capture to capture a window:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<script>
  <!-- Applied to all procedures -->
  <global>

    <event name="OpenWindow">
      <!-- Hot key Ctrl-Shift-P to capture a window -->
      <action name="SetProp">
        <property name="Alrt" value="CtrlShiftP"></property>
      </action>
    </event>

    <!-- Capture active window -->
    <event name="alertkey" key="CtrlShiftP">
      <action name="Capture"/>  <!-- autogenerated file name: "procedure_date_time.bmp" -->
    </event>

  </global>
</script>

• new "charset" attribute of properties (applied to "charset", "fontcharset" and "style:charset" properties).
  Following lines are identical:

  <property name="FontCharSet" value="204"></property>
  <property name="FontCharSet" charset="Cyrillic"></property>

v1.04

• FIX: only first action "SetProp" for types worked;
• CHG: Demo app - all buttons in the app now "flat"; xml clean up;
• NEW: Template now allows to specify how to pass script name - in command line or in INI file.

v1.03

• Localization has has never been easier! New attribute "language" (global or procedure level) defines "language" section where all texts are located:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251"?>
<script>
  <global language="Russian"/>
  <!-- <procedure language="Russian"/> -->

  <language name="Russian">
    <!-- File menu -->
    <procedure name="Main">
      <field name="?MENU1">Файл</field>
      <field name="?PrintSetup">Установка принтера ...</field>
      <field name="?Exit">Выход</field>
    </procedure>
  </language>
</script>

• Pseudo-event "BeforeAcceptLoop" allows to set SYSTEM properties before ACCEPT loop (this is necessary for example to localize main frame menu: SYSTEM{PROP:CharSet}=CHARSET:CYRILLIC):

  <procedure name="Main">
    <event name="BeforeAcceptLoop">
      <action name="SetProp" field="System">
        <property name="CharSet" value="204"></property>
      </action>
    </event>
  </procedure>

• PROPLIST:xxx allowed:

    <property name="list:Underline" value="1"/>

• PROPSTYLE:xxx allowed:

    <property name="style:fontname" value="Arial"/>

• For properties which expect COLOR value, now you can use "color" attribute:

    <property name="list:DefHdrTextColor" color="White"/>

• Properties which are arrays now can use "index" attribute:

    <property name="list:ColStyle" index="1" value="1"/>
