Objo Studio v26.6.2 Released

Objo Studio 26.6.2 is now available. It adds some genuinely useful new building blocks for app development, improves performance in an important part of the desktop UI toolkit, and gives developers more control over how their interfaces are drawn.

Calendar control

This release adds a new Calendar control, making it much easier to build apps that need date selection or date-focused interfaces.

Instead of piecing together date handling manually, you can now drop in a purpose-built control and let Objo Studio handle the common interaction details for you. This is another step towards making ObjoBasic feel productive for everyday desktop app development.

New HashSet type

ObjoBasic also gains a new HashSet type.

HashSet is useful whenever you need to store unique values and quickly check whether something already exists. It is a good fit for filtering duplicates, tracking visited items, managing selections, and other cases where membership matters more than ordering.

More flexible ListBox drawing

ListBox now has new event handlers for custom drawing.

This gives developers more control over how list content is rendered, opening the door to richer rows, custom visuals, and more specialised interfaces without having to abandon the standard ListBox control.

Faster Canvas drawing

We've also made significant improvements to the Canvas drawing performance.

Canvas is one of the most important controls for custom interfaces, visualisations, games, and drawing-heavy tools, so improving its speed has a direct impact on the kinds of apps people can build comfortably in Objo Studio.
