Antonio:

I asked you directly because I have not got a definitive answer/example yet. Thank you.

Can I call a 32bit (xHarbour/FiveWin) program from DOS ? ¿ How can I display the image (BMP/JPG) in the xHarbour/FiveWin app ? The image must remain visible when I return to the DOS program ?

Gustavo,

> Can I call a 32bit (xHarbour/FiveWin) program from DOS ?

You can only call a 32 bits DLL from a 16 bits Windows application.

You can't call a 32 bits DLL (or EXE) from a MsDos 16 bits application.

Thanks for your reply. The problem that I have on hand is the following: I have a Clipper (16bit) app that needs to show an image on screen (and leave it open). The Clipper app cannot be ported to FiveWin now , so I have to do the image program as a separate program in FiveWin/xHarbour. How can I do this ? Any suggestions ? Thank you very much.

Gustavo,

What file format has the image ? Can it be any format ?

You can show some images from MsDos applications

Antonio:

The image format are: JPG & BMP. Can I display them from a Clipper app without using FiveWin ? Thank you.

Hello HunterEC,

to show graphics from inside a clipper-application,
you have to include a graphic-lib to get the functions.

I think, you don't want to spend extra money for a old application.

You can download a FREE - Clipper-Graphic-Lib from my website :
