#29 Version 2.17 vs SVN TRUNK

[sygecom]

Hello people,
They could implement in the current version of Hwgui some features that we had before, such as:

xcommand BEGIN PAGE <cname> OF <otab> ;</otab></cname>

        **[ <enable: DISABLED> ]     ;
        [ COLOR <tcolor>]          ;
        [ BACKCOLOR <bcolor>]      ; 
        [ TOOLTIP <ctoolt> ]     **  ;
      =>;
      <oTab>:StartPage( <cname>, ,! <.enable.> ,<tcolor>,<bcolor>, <ctoolt> )

And there is also:

xcommand @ <x>,<y> PROGRESSBAR <opbar> ;</opbar></y></x>

         [ OF <oWnd> ]                       ;
         [ ID <nId> ]                        ;
         [ SIZE <nWidth>,<nHeight> ]         ;
         [ ON INIT <bInit> ]                 ;
         [ ON PAINT <bDraw> ]                ;
         [ ON SIZE <bSize> ]                 ;
         [ BARWIDTH <maxpos> ]               ;
         [ QUANTITY <nRange> ]               ;
         [ <lVert: VERTICAL>]                ;
         [ ANIMATION <nAnimat> ]             ;
         [ TOOLTIP <ctooltip> ]              ;
      => ;
      <oPBar> :=  HProgressBar():New( <oWnd>,<nId>,<x>,<y>,<nWidth>, ;
         <nHeight>,<maxpos>,<nRange>, <bInit>,<bSize>,<bDraw>,<ctooltip>,<nAnimat>,<.lVert.> )

Hello sygecom,
The HWGUI version 2.17 is from October 2008, in this 12 years a lot of bugfixes are done, and the
improvement for GTK is increased (concerning to the decision of HWGUI for multi platform usability).
The biggest difference was, that the source code is devided in WinAPI and GTK.
I am only since 2019 subsribed as a developper in this project, so i can not say
why the mentioned features are cancelled. But i realized, that some of the features available on WinAPI are not implemented in GTK. Reference to recovering the method PaintBitmap() in the HWINPRN class, i spent a lot of time to make the method ready for multi platform usage.

I make a suggestion:
Please do experiments with the source code in your local copy. If you have success, please post your modifications and i will added them after check on Windows and LINUX into the HWGUI source repository. This could be already done in little steps.
If i had time, i will look for the features in parallel,

Is this OK for you ?
I let this ticket open for post of your modifications.

MNI TNX fer your support.

Hello sygecom,
this ticket is more than 5 years old with no following discussion.
So i closed this ticket now.

If there are more things to do, please create a new ticket.
TNX supporting HWGUI.

My HWGUI application "CLLOG" runs at it's, best,
so the recent release of HWGUI seems to be very stable.
