November 2014
=============

* Fixed the unresolved external clock() when using Visual Studio:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=29546&start=0

* combobox.prg: Autofill feature was introduced when CBS_DROPDOWN
style is used in FWH13.05.

- The feature was made available when the conbobox is created on
window and dialog from resource. Now this is extended to dialg
created from source code too.

- The programmer has not option whether to enable/disable this
feature. Now this feature is enabled when lIncSearch is .t., as
originally intended.

- When the user enters text in a case different from the case of
an item, the user's text was over-written by the item's case.
Now if lCaseSensitive is .t., text entered by user in a different
case is preserved.

- Setting of lCaseSesitive was ignored. Now fixed. Eg. Assuming the
array of items contain "apple" and user enters "APPLE", if
lCaseSensitive is .t., the variable is set to "APPLE" otherwise
the variable is set to "apple".

* xbrowse: Added tolerance to legacy programs where bStrData is
directly defined returning a non-string value.

* Enhancement: FWH Printer Preview now includes the changes proposed
by Carlos Vargas. Many thanks Carlos!

Buenas noches Antonio.

Tengo un sistema hecho con la versión de fivewin para xHarbour 2.4. Deseo obtener la ultima versión de five por aquello de las pc que tienen Windows 8 a 64.

Mi duda es, hay que realizar cambios grandes en mis programas para utilizar la nueva version del fivewin??.

Agradecería tu ayuda por favor.

[Antonio Linares]

Joan,

No hay que cambiar nada, en principio es sólo recompilar con Harbour 64 y usar FWH 64.

De todas formas comentarte que tu aplicación, al ser 32 bits, funciona perfectamente en Windows 64 bits

Buen día Sr. Linares.

Agradezco su pronta contestación, en breve uno de mis compañeros se pondrá en contacto con usted, Pues deseamos adquirir la nueva versión. Somos de México, años atrás cuando obtuvimos por primera vez el fivewin quien nos daba soporte era el Sr. René Flores, el cual como nos dimos cuenta ya no está con usted.

Esperamos contar con su ayuda para poder llevar a cabo la implemetación de la nueva versión. Tenemos muchas dudas al respecto.

Por su atención gracias.
