xHarbour/BCC32/UE Studio Project build

[TimStone]

First, a comment. The guidance provided on this forum is amazing. I have been working through several challenges, reading older posts, etc. and most of my questions have been answered.

I am studying moving from xBuilder to UE Studio project with a very large application. I've reviewed the samples people posted and have my files configured as suggested.

I was able to get a build. I do have a problem with some functions apparently not supported so I created dummies for those. I can work with that for now and get some workarounds later.

My main problem is that none of my bitmaps show up. I use them on button bars, screens, etc. My guess is I'm missing a file ( ? lib ) or .dll
My second huge problem is the program is much slower then the xCC build with xBuilder
The third problem is this. From the main window, I call a dialog with an xBrowse. Clicking on an entry in the browse will bring up a multi-folder dialog. In this build, it crashes the program with a windows message that it stopped working.

With all things going on, someone may well say "hey you need ...."

Your comments are appreciated.

If your bitmap is defined in a resource file (or in a DLL) then open the memory option and check that 'Discardable' is not checked.

This is not expected at all.

Memory option ? Where ?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

In your resource editor.

There in lies the problem ... no resource editor. I pretty much handcode the .rc file now ... I get much better alignment, etc.,

I'm calling bitmaps created in Axialis. In the .rc it is simply TEST BITMAP "Test.bmp"

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Can you show a little sample of the problem?

Tim,

Please use this tool to inspect your EXE and check that your bitmaps are inside it (resources folder):

peinfo.exe yourapp.exe

[TimStone]

Yes, all bitmaps are in the resource in the .exe.

It may be the format of the bitmaps. I suggest trying one of the bitmaps provided by FWH to see if it works.

Could you provide more information--slower doing what? How much slower?

Maybe you could find one of the FWH\sample programs that you can benchmark with both compilers.
