Hello!

If I use TRANSPARENT with DIALOG the displayed text of REDEFINED SAY is cutted:

Code: Select all  Expand view

function DialogFromResource1()

   local oDlg
   LOCAL cText

   cText := "*** Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequat. Quis aute iure reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint obcaecat cupiditat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. ***"

   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg NAME "DIALOG1" COLOR NIL,RGB(239,239,231) TRANSPARENT

   REDEFINE SAY PROMPT cText ID 500 OF oDlg

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg

return nil

without TRANSPARENT the whole text is displayed:

Code: Select all  Expand view

function DialogFromResource2()

   local oDlg
   LOCAL cText

   cText := "*** Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequat. Quis aute iure reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint obcaecat cupiditat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. ***"

   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg NAME "DIALOG1" COLOR NIL,RGB(239,239,231)

   REDEFINE SAY PROMPT cText ID 500 OF oDlg

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg

return nil

The resource file:

Code: Select all  Expand view

DIALOG1 DIALOGEX DISCARDABLE 44, 23, 400, 107
STYLE WS_POPUP|DS_MODALFRAME|DS_3DLOOK|WS_CAPTION|WS_SYSMENU|WS_VISIBLE
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
{
  CONTROL "", 500, "Static", WS_GROUP, 8, 18, 388, 68
}

How can this bug fixed?

This problem still exists in FWH 11.01.

And now I also found a (new?) Memory leak:

Code: Select all  Expand view

02/15/11 16:37:12: BRUSH,3048,TDIALOG:SETCOLOR(2477)->TDIALOG:NEW(196)->DIALOGFROMRESOURCE1(39)->(b)MAIN(19)->TBTNBMP:CLICK(466)->TBTNBMP:LBUTTONUP(661)->TCONTROL:HANDLEEVENT(1489)->TBTNBMP:HANDLEEVENT(1453)->_FWH(3408)->WINRUN(0)->TWINDOW:ACTIVATE(992)->MAIN(22)

The code:

Code: Select all  Expand view

FUNCTION MAIN()

   LOCAL oWnd

   SetResDebug()

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd FROM 1, 1 TO 10, 40 ;
      TITLE "Test"

   @ 15, 10 BTNBMP oBtn OF oWnd SIZE 140, 20 PROMPT "Dialog from Resource" 2007 ACTION DialogFromResource1()
   @ 50, 10 BTNBMP oBtn OF oWnd SIZE 140, 20 PROMPT "Dialog from Resource" 2007 ACTION DialogFromResource2()

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

   FERASE("CHECKRES.TXT")
   CHECKRES()
   winExec("notepad .\checkres.txt")

return(0)
 

Rest of the code see above, also the rc file.

Hi Ruediger

Re: text display ........................reprehend <end>

It looks like you have reached the limit of a character field. 255 happends to be the mac character field in clipper/dbase file.
Maybe it is the version of harbour that has changed to enforce the limit?

Try using MsgInfo() to disply 'cText' to see whats there. MsgInfo() is a windows display function.

You would normally use LTEXT in your resources to display static text.
Have you tried to use memo resources to display it. An example is the way I use an RC to capture text as a memo.

EDITTEXT 110, 16, 46, 342, 128, ES_MULTILINE | ES_WANTRETURN | WS_BORDER | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP

The 'Say' class does not have a MEMO multi line option but 'get' class does.
I have never used 'Say' for such long text!
I'm interested in your solution to this.

Everything work well without TRANSPARENT, only if I add TRANSPARENT (with the same Harbour version, the same FWH version, the same rest of source code etc.) the whole text isn't displayed. So, for me, it seems that there must be a bug in FWH. If I reached a limit of a character field with SAY, why did the problem didn't exists without TRANSPARENT, only with TRANSPARENT?

Thanks for this idea. I will try it ASAP.

Unfortunately, your sample doesn't work correctly in the new FWH release. One star at the end of the phrase is missing.

FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL oDlg

    DEFINE DIALOG oDlg;
           TRANSPARENT

    @ 1, 1 SAY "This is a test"

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg;
             CENTER

    RETURN NIL
