Dear Antonio and All Expert,

If I want to use Harbour or xHarbour (from Fivetech) with UEStudio.
Which do I should Harbour or xHarbour?
How do I start?

1. I have many PRG files.
2. I've used 3rd Party Library such as BTNGET, SBUTTON, ADS, TSBROWSE, TWBROWSE.

Thanks,
Dutch

Dutch,

We use to start coding and testing with Harbour, then we test with xHarbour too.

We try to keep compatibility in our PRGs with both of them, so you can always build your app with both and test if they behave the same, and choose the one that you prefer.

There are two main ways to use UEStudio:

1. You can use it for quick building and testing a PRG. This is good for quick prototyping and also to run forums examples and FWH examples too.

2. You can manage an entire project with multiple PRGs and libraries.

On next messages we explain how to properly setup UEStudio for both cases.

1. Quick building from UEStudio:

a) Once you install UEStudio go to main menu - Advanced - Tool Configuration:

b) We insert a new item "Harbour" and set it this way:

We select to output to a listbox:

c) We can do the same for xHarbour and fwppc (just call buildx.bat or buildce.bat, instead of buildh.bat).

So we get quick builds for FWH with Harbour and xHarbour, and for FWPPC too.

d) We can even speed it up, if we modify the resedit toolbar (right click on it) and add our new tool items as new buttons:

getting this final result:

Now we can easily and quickly build and test any PRG from UEStudio. No need to create projects for these quick tests :-)

Hello Dutch,

I switched to UEStudio and I have to say it is a very productive IDE.
I recorded a video with my experience. Have a look on it as a first start.

Regards,
Otto

Dear Antonio and Otto,

Antonio - I've install UEStudio and setup as picture and make a simple (manual coding without project) test.prg. It runs ok. Then how can I import all PRG file to a project and run it?

Otto - I cannot download your setup file but I setup as Antonio picture. Is it the same? I cannot get Harbour & Fivewin sintax in UEStudio config. Where can I get it?

Regards,
Dutch

Dutch,

2) Managing projects from UEStudio:

FWH provides the setup files for UEStudio in FWH\uestudio\fwh.zip

a) Inside that fwh.zip file there are two folders: configs and projects.

b) Inside configs, there are another two folders: Harbour and xHarbour. Copy them to:

c:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UEStudio '06\configs\

c) Inside projects, there is a folder: Harbour. Copy it to:

c:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UEStudio '06\projects\

On a next email we are going to review how to build and manage projects with many PRGs from UEStudio
