Version 6.0.10 ( December 12, 2011 ) 

New tape edit ribbon tab

In previous DeskCalc versions all kind of tape settings like:  - line numbers  - memorized text  - align text  - tape settings  - add/remove lines had been hidden in various setting dialogs. But if you click the tape now, all these settings are available at the same time.

 

Docking DeskCalc to screen borders

A nice new feature in Deskcalc 6 is the docking function. But what is docking: What are appbars (application desktop toolbars)? An appbar (application desktop toolbar) is a window similar to the Quick Launch bar, the Language Bar or the Windows Taskbar. It is anchored/docked to an edge of the screen, and it typically provides the user with quick access to various things like program shortcuts, favorite files, folders or URLs, information such as the local weather or sports news, or commonly used programs such as a clock, stopwatch or yourcalculator. Appbars are allocated their own area on the screen and the system prevents other applications from using that area.  Using this Windows functionality DeskCalc is always visible and doesn't use space occupied by other applications on the desktop. Choose the screen border for docking:   Enable docking:

Fullscreen calculator mode

In earlier Desk versions it wasn't possible to to adjust the width of the dialog.  That has been changed now because DeskCalc is used as calculator on touch screen by some costumers. They use and start it in fullscreen mode with the /FS command line flag. deskcalc.exe /FS .... starts DeskCalc in Fullscreenmode deskcalc.exe /hide .... starts DeskCalc hidden Calculator keyboard shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts can highly improve your user experience. Press CTRL + F1 to check out all shortcuts. Version 6 enables you now to print the shortcuts.   Keypad location - new touch screen mode We added two new keypad positions, just click the right mouse button within the keypad area   Select position Free floatable Large buttons on the right for touch screen usage or high desktop resolutions   Add your memory calculation to the tape/checkstrip If you add some figues to your memory and like them to be shown in the tape as an own calculation, you only have to press the the "Paste to tape" button  and you'll get a new calculation in your tape   Enhanced print dialog Version 6 comes with an improved printing dialog   3 new options mak printing tapes and calculations even more convinent.  print all: prints all calculations in your selected tape print last: prints the last calculation from tape print marked lines: does what it says, it prints the selected lines in your tape The good thing about it is, that it remembers your last selection when you re-enter the printing dialog.   Office 2010 Calculator Version 6 introduces a clean and simple new interface with Office 2010 look and feel.   Memory calculator  currency calculator with daily rate update

New: Constants calculation

How does it work? Have a look at the above screenshot and imagine you like to multiply some numbers
with the same multiplier, lets say 2. You start with 2*2=
Now DeskCalc remembers this multiplyer and uses it next time you need it. Any time you enter a number
and press ENTER will result in a multiplication with 2. Have a look at the second calculation to
see how it works.

The same works for divisions and percentage calculations. The last operation overrides the last constant and
becomes the new constant. Here are some more examples:

 Input        Output
 2 * 2 =       4
 8=            16
 3=              6
-----------------------
 8 / 2 =       4
 16=           8
