   There is one problem, which I remembered now, the reason, why I 
included the dbgentry.c in HwGUI. In Harbour this file is a part of 
hbdebug.lib, so I need to link the hbdebug and there may be conflicts 
with some functions from debugger.prg, especially __dbgEntry(). What to 
do with this ?

   What errors does you mean ? All, what you reported, wasn't errors, 
these was some features, added in 2.17 and absent in 2.18.

   Why don't you send here full list of 2.17 features, which you use and 
which absent in 2.18 ? I'm sure that it isn't too long, and we may 
decide what to do with it.

   Just one question: who is the volunteer to correct this in 2.17 ?
Not me. I've told here already, that I can't spend my time, digging in 
the complicated, labyrinthine and messy 2.17 code. Unfortunately, the 
HWG_USE_POINTER_ITEM mode isn't the only problem of 2.17. There are many 
bugs, but the quality of the code makes it difficult to fight with them.
I told all this many times already ...
   So, for me that was the only way.

   I know, that such changes are very annoying for users. I'm a user of 
some other software products, too, and I know very well, what it is. 
That's why I try to solve the incompatibilities, which you and other 
people send me, but, of course, I don't reproduce those, which I 
consider wrong.

  No drawbacks at all. I get more satisfaction, when I remove some code, 
staying with the same functionality, than when I add some :).
  That function, __DBGPROCESSRUN(), was introduced, because 
hb_processOpen() doesn't worked under Linux in the same way as under 
Windows. I was tired to fight with it and wrote this one.

Hi!

Yes I am reading the emails, only the strategy adopted, I believe that
was not the best, all modifications, additions, corrections to release
2.17 yes, were dismissed are not at version 2.18 now being added.

I do not know how many developers were using release 2.17. It seems
that none of you were using version 2.17

Hi Alexander,

After above reformatting it's possible to easy compare dbgentry.c from
HWGUI and Harbour. As I can see there is only one difference. In HWGUI
dbgentry.c contains new function __DBGPROCESSRUN()
If it's possible then I'd like to ask you move this function to different
file and remove redundant code. In longer terms it will create problems
and additional jobs for HWGUI and Harbour developers to keep synced the
same code, i.e. I'd like to commit some modifications to Harbour
repository to fix few potential problems when module names are not
correctly recognized so breakpoints do not work as expected.

Do you see any drawbacks in moving __DBGPROCESSRUN() to
different file and removing dbgentry.c from HWGUI?

best regards

Hi!

As i see, you didn't read all the latest post carefully, because you think so, that people who discussing this question, make a wrong choice. If you have app in production, you doesn't must update every time hwgui and your app now, while you see any changes in repo. I suggest you reread all the post (i think) from december 2012, and decide for youself what is better, but every post from us about error, warning and etc in current version is a help for Alexander, make hwgui better.

[Hwgui-developers] Hwgui 2.18

[Itamar M. L. J. L. <ita...@gm...>]

I am frustrated with this new hwgui 2.18
It was not the correct way to upgrade the version was dropped 2.17 and is
now being added through feedback by users, this strategy was very bad for
users, we are reporting all errors that had been fixed in version 2.17


I still can not use version 2.18 because it is totally incompatible with
2.17

was better to correct the deficiencies of the 2.17 version with flag
"DHWG_USE_POINTER_ITEM" and create a version 2.17a and then from 2:18 to
release

[Hwgui-developers] HwGUI tutorial

[Alexander S.K. <al...@be...>]

Hello,

  New utility, HwGUI tutorial has been added as hwgui/utils/tutorial. 
Two  bat files, for bcc55 and mingw are included. They create two exe's 
- hwgrun.exe and the tutorial - tutor.exe.

      It is interactive - because you can not only read the code and 
comments, but execute it. Moreover, you can edit the code and then 
execute it immedeately to see the results of your changes.
      The tutorial is very simple to navigate, it has minimum of tools. 
Just click on a tree node to see appropriate content is a text editor. 
If this is a code fragment, double clicking on this tree node or 
clicking on a button, which is in a right top corner of a window above 
the editor will execute this code.

      There is a configuration file, tutor.xml, which, possible, you 
will need to tune.
      It contains a tag with a path to HwGUI directory:

      <hwgui_dir path="..\.." />

      This path is needed for internal compiler to find the HwGUI 
include/ directory with header file hwgui.ch, if the path is wrong, you 
will get a message "compile error", when you will try to execute a code. 
By default it is set to "..\.." due to the default location of this 
program ( hwgui\utils\tutorial ). If you for some reason decide to 
change this location, you will need to change this path.
      Yet another tag, which you, probably, may want to change is:

      <tutorial file="tutor_eng.xml" />

      This is a name of a file with tutorial content. The default file 
above "tutor_eng.xml" is an English language version. If there is some 
other with a language of your choice, edit that tag.

   There is some content already, we need to add new code and comments 
to make it really full.

   For Harbour there is no need to have even the harbour.exe to compile 
and execute code, becouse Harbour have internal compiler library. As 
far, as I know, xHarbour hasn't, so I've added some code specially for 
xHarbour to compile code fragments with harbour.exe, to force it to work 
you need to set the <harbour_bin> tag in tutor.xml.

Regards, Alexander.

   Maybe, it's better to do this command similar to ACTIVATE WINDOW:

#xcommand ACTIVATE DIALOG <oDlg> ;
                [<lMaximized: MAXIMIZED>] ;
                [<lMinimized: MINIMIZED>] ;
                [<lCenter: CENTER>]       ;
                [ ON ACTIVATE <bInit> ]   ;

  I find it illogical, that these two command have so different sytax.
What are you think ?

   In 2.17 WHEN clause is simply an other name for ON GETFOCUS, and I 
think that in this case it is a bad name, because BROWSE isn't a GET 
object ( we use WHEN and WHILE for GET objects, aren't we ? ). The same 
about VALID, which is used there as a synonym for ON LOSTFOCUS.

   So, I recommend you to change WHEN to ON GETFOCUS, this will work in 
both 2.17 and 2.18.

  Yes, I.see. This is a pointers issue, too. If recompile both hwgui and 
hwg_extctrl without HWG_USE_POINTER_ITEM, the icon is drawn.
In 2.17 with HWG_USE_POINTER_ITEM it isn't drawn, as here.
