Edgevolut V.4 arrives with enhanced productivity, greater flexibility, and new capabilities for developing OpenEdge applications. All of this is aligned with the goal of enabling faster creation of advanced user interfaces without increasing development complexity.
Here are four key areas where Edgevolut V.4 makes a difference.
1. Greater Productivity for Development Teams
The new version introduces a debugger with an event and property inspector, providing a more comprehensive view of application behavior during runtime. This enables developers to identify and resolve issues more quickly, reducing development and maintenance time.
In addition, Edgevolut V.4 expands customization options by introducing new control properties, making it easier to build components tailored to the specific needs of each project.
2. More Flexible Interfaces and an Improved User Experience
A great application should not only be functional; it should also provide an intuitive and comfortable user experience.
That’s why this release introduces enhancements that give developers greater freedom when designing user interfaces.
The visual designer now supports overlapping controls, making it easier to create richer, more dynamic layouts. Modal windows have also been enhanced: they can now be freely moved across the screen, maximized when users need additional workspace, or kept fixed depending on the application’s requirements.
These improvements make it possible to build more modern and adaptable interfaces while maintaining development simplicity.
3. New Capabilities for Building More Powerful Applications
This release introduces three new controls that significantly expand development possibilities.
The new BI4Web control enables developers to embed dashboards created in BI4Web directly into their applications, making it easy to incorporate analytical dashboards and business insights without additional development.
The Signature control adds support for capturing digital signatures using either a mouse or touch-enabled devices, making it especially valuable for validation, approval, and document confirmation workflows.
Meanwhile, Masked Input simplifies data entry through configurable input masks, helping ensure more consistent information and reducing errors in fields that require specific formats.
In addition, input fields can now dynamically change their type at runtime, providing greater flexibility to adapt to the application’s context and user interactions.
4. Edgevolut V.4: Built for Increasingly Demanding Business Environments
The new version also enhances temporary data management, allowing applications to retain a larger amount of reusable information throughout the user’s session.
This capability is particularly valuable for enterprise applications that need to preserve data across processes, even when browsers impose limitations on temporary storage.
The result is more robust applications that deliver a smoother and more efficient user experience.
Continuous Innovation to Drive Business Application Development
Every new Edgevolut release reflects the same commitment: delivering a platform that evolves alongside the needs of modern organizations.
With these new capabilities, development teams have more tools to build web applications faster, integrate new functionality more easily, and provide a richer user experience.
Because developing enterprise applications is about more than writing code; it’s about building solutions that are ready to grow with your business. And Edgevolut continues to evolve to make that possible.
