FiveTech Software tech support forums

Since I am fast approaching retirement age, I need to start thinking about cutting back on my activities. I have several FWH - xHarbour apps that I developed for a US specialty chemical company and I would like some names of programers who would be interested in servicing the software if the company ...

Thanks, Antonio. This will do the job for me.

Hi James -
Thanks for your response. You're right about the best programming form, etc. However, in my case, a lot of my combos are years and/or months. in the case of years, the current year is shown in the get and the dropdown goes back in time eventually to the first year there are data. Also ...

Using the following code in my clipper/Fivewin apps, the "get" next to the dropdown arrow automatically shows the first element of aYr. The xHarbour/Fivewin version shows a blank get.

LOCAL oDlg, oYr, cYr, aYr := {}
aYr := GetYrs()
REDEFINE COMBOBOX oYr ;
VAR cYr ;
ITEMS aYr ;
ID 101 of ...

Thanks very much for fixing the radiobuttons. You're doing a great job with this.

Best regards,

Re my last post about the radiobuttons. It is not just the ones inside a group box. I had a look at your testrad.rc and you used the generic CONTROL rather than classname RADIOBUTTON as Resource Workshop does. Converting from RW will be a challenge.

When radio buttons are within a groupbox, they do not display in RE.EXE.

Thanks. If the esc works, that's all I should need.

OK, I can be patient.

I have another question, though. My folder pages are all individual dialogs and do not have SYS_MENU on them, nor a button with ID 1 or 2. As a result I can't close these dialogs in RE.EXE so I hit Ctrl. Alt, Del and close the editor. I suppose at some point you ...

I do use SysTabControl32 but I get a message that TCS_MULTILINE style is not found. Can you add that to the style list?

Charles

Antonio -
That fixed it! Many thanks. This project is moving along very nicely. Will you be adding TFOLDER support soon?

Best regards,
Charles

Here is a very simple rc file that shows the problem. The original file has more LTEXTand EDITTEXT as well as a checkbox, but this simplified version shows the problem when I open it with a doubleclick in the re.exe. The string will appear normally if the commas are removed.

testname.rc ...

Antonio -
It still behaves the same way here. With a comma after one of the words, the text starts showing at the very left of the dialog box and shows the first two letters of the word, then drops down a line and shows the first two letters of the next word, and so on.

I have found a bug in the LTEXT class. When there is a comma in the text (prompt) the text doesn't display properly on the dialog.

LTEXT "Change Company Name, Address and Phone Numbers", -1, 22, 10, 208, 10

Ditto on the checkboxes for control styles. RW won't even allow "TCS_MULTILINE" to be added to a folder style in RW so it has to be added by hand in the RC file.

Also, I've found that RC doesn't recognise some bitmap files.
