FiveTech Software tech support forums

I add here a CHANGE LOG and replace the source to the newest one.
*************************************************************
- direct visualization, order in the header, enter and dblclick to compile by Marcelo Via Giglio
- button for “Open with TextEditor” by Otto
*************************************************************

Maybe there are tools around to manage the FW demos.
I don’t know. For my private use I made this little tool.

Otto,

Thanks!

Otto,

interesting and usefull, I added some things, direct visualization, order in the header, enter and dblclick to compile.

saludos y gracias

Hello,

thank you for your contribution.

I added an new button for “Open with TextEditor”

I have replaced the source in the first post of this thread.
IMO, a button for renaming the prg-files next to be done. Who has time?

Regards,
Otto

Otto,

Don't you use a professional file manager ? Windows file manager is not enough, its just for final users

We use "Total commander" since many years ago and we can't do any professional programming without it

Hello Antonio,
I as well use wincmd since ever.

But in this case you should have – IMO – a inside possibility to easy rename.

Why do we need an easy tool to manage the demo prgs?

For example:
Yesterday I saw that copyright in xbrowser is from 2002. I could have used this component for years. Only the first try ended badly because the setup was for ADS. And at that moment I had not time to exanimate the error.
Since then I never touched it again up to now (over 5 years!!!). Although the demo testxbrw is very impressive. But I couldn’t look at the demo because it did not compile on my site. And if I see all the questions about TC browser and the few xbrowser entries in the forum I calculate that not much of us use this wonderful browser. This must not happen.


I would like to have all the samples in the fivewin folder to compile on a click and that we could extend them and if there are interesting questions on the forum build immediately a demo prg and distribute it that all users can profit.

Now where can rename the prg files with user friendly names (now more 8 character limitation).

I thought much about a organization of the demo prgs – creating a database, etc. – like the fivedemo – project in sample folder … but who does the work, who maintains the database???

With comments inside the prg-files we have all the information with no extra effort.

Next step I think shoult be a ftp-server where we can share code snips and publish code contributions. Then all can download the files save them to there sample folder and the demotool shows immediately the new files and with the compile button one can run the demos.

Regards,
Otto

Otto,

I agree, Otto, if the samples were updated with keywords in the comments we could eliminate the database and use fivedemo or a similar program that searches the PRGs for a keyword.

What I use now instead is Copernic Desktop Search. This will find any PRG with any specified keyword in a second or two. A double-click on the file will load it into my editor and another click will compile it. Nothing we could make would be as fast as Copernic. Copernic has a free version of their desktop search (which is what I use).

Hello James,
I too use Copernic Desktop Search. But most times you get too much results back.

I must be honest. I rewrote my ECR software in VB because of the limitations listbox had.
All the work and money (TrueDbGrid from ComponentOne, Apollo database engine to access the dbf files,VB,… ) and that in a time where xBrowser was there. And I didn’t know about. Although I am around frequently in the forum.
As this is a touch screen software I needed higher rows and this was only possible to handle with the font. And the large font does not look very good.
I think the sample prgs should also be included as exe files, too.

I can remember well when Patrick did a great marketing job for FW. But now the fivewin.info user contribution page is nearly dead.
Therefore I think we should establish a new user contribution page because user contributions and 3rd party are very important for our community.


Regards,
Otto

Otto,

We are planning to open a new website page just for user contributions and add ons for FiveWin.

We used rapidshare and other similar hosting companies in the past ( see http://fivetechsoft.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=17 ) but the problem is that files get erased, though we have local copies of all of them here in our company

Hi,

I think it would be a good idea to create a demo to show the latest controls and features (Outlook XP, XP bars...) all together.

In fact, the xbrowse demo should have all the features.

Best regards,

Otto,

>I too use Copernic Desktop Search. But most times you get too much results back.

You can limit the search to a specific file type or directory. For instance, I get 4 results searching for "xbrowse" in the FWH\samples directory.

James

Hello,

here another improve to admin samples tools original of Otto , I tryed to use TtxtEdit class but this has some bug to display the code
