In the last few weeks a number of new videos have been created

The most recent are videos 50 - 53
50 The 'Working Preview' pane in the Grid Builder The 'Working Preview' pane in the Grid Builder allows you to run the Grid (just as the Live Preview pane does). But 'Working Preview' does not use the Application Server - instead, it uses a special protocol (not 'http') to talk to Alpha Five directly. Debugging your Xbasic event handlers is very easy when you use Working Preview.
51 Show/hide expressions in the Page Layout and TabbedUI component You can use show/hide expression in the Page Layout component to show or hide the objects that you place in the component. The expressions can refer to session variables and arguments defined in the component. Using show hide expressions, it is easy to show one user a page with one particular set of components, and another user a completely different set of components. In the case of the Tabbed UI component, the show/hide expressions can control which buttons are visible in the button pane.
52 Using Server Side Javascript Grid Events to show a button in only the first row of a Grid Sometimes you might want to show a control, such as a Button or Hyperlink, in only the first row of a Grid. This video shows how this is easily done using the System Javascript Events in the grid.
53 The DetailView can be shown in a popup Ajax window. You might want the window title to be dynamically constructed using data from the current Grid row. This video shows how you can do this using system Javascript events.
