Hi all,

I am having some trouble with preview. When linked with fw2.3 everything is OK but with October 2007 build I just downloaded an error dialog pops up: could not create temporary file c:\686155968.wmf please check your free space... The system is running on XP SP3, Clipper 5.2e + blinker 7.0.
I solved the problem by shortening to 8 characters the length of the string created by cTempFile function. c:\86155968.wmf works fine.
Is this correct or is there any other way?
I also found that the mouse wheel always moves the preview up independently from the direction I turn the wheel.

Regards

Andre

That a 16 bits Windows API limitation. The mouse wheel up event is not delivered in 16 bits apps. You should consider to migrate your app to 32 bits using FWH and Harbour/xHarbour

Thanks for your reply. FWH is my next move.

Yes :-) You will be amazed how easily you can migrate from 16 to 32 bits using FWH.

I have some questions about the migration.
- I´ve seen that you use bc 5.5 and an old version of MS C. Is there any particular reason? I mean why not upgrade to the newer ones?
- In c:\fwh\builds there is a sample to work with Mingw and in c:\fwh\lib the libs are ready to use but I could not find the harbour build to use with them. Did I miss something?
- Is there any "recomended flavour" to work with?
- The available builds of harbour are from 02/09 and are missing some fixes. For instance the app I am migrating works with nsx index and the rddnsx had a bug that has just been fixed. Any schedule to have a new build of harbour?
- I tried to use my own svn build of harbour but it did not work with FW. Is it possible to have it working?

Regards,
André

You can use the newer ones if you want to. They also work fine.

Borland C version

I just redownloaded harbour but it is still the 02/09 build. What about newer builds with the latest bug fixes?
