Sajith, Why don't you try the following code assuming that the record pointer in the recordset moves simultaneously when you scroll thru the rows/records in xBrowse. I am not sure but you can give a try and please see that whether the GET is displaying the desired value. ...

Shuming,

Why don't you use non modal dialogs ?

You can use several modal dialogboxes simultaneously if their parents are different windows (or dialogs).

... with Clipper 5 or Fivewin for clipper and other 32 bits applications Xharbour and fivewin (2.5 7.9 8.10) Using both 16 and 32 bits programs to simultaneously access/update the same data is something that I'd try to avoid as much as possible as the RDDs are developed by totally different group ...

Mike,

I have been thinking about it, and I see there is a major problem with it:

We can't have several applications having the focus at the same time, in the same computer. So it may be impossible to manage them simultaneously.

Unless I am missing something...

... multiple users. I am porting my existing Clipper 5.01 application to FWH. I don't want to restrict my users from having multiple windows opened simultaneously to a certain extent . Because of this reason I want to reduce the Modal Dialog as much as possible. For eg. A user who is already preparing ...

... if the help is already displayed. It can't be a CLASSDATA or you will be limited a just one shown help from your app, when you can have several simultaneously (not the same as "recursive", that is what lShow controls).

Antonio, because oBrw:Refresh() made our search very slow (in network with a big database, when the database is in use at more than one computer simultaneously) That was the outcome of our search, why xBrowse was slow. On our testing system, oBrw:Refresh() still takes up to 3 seconds, while oBrw:Paint() ...

Doug,

Excellent!

Could you provide us some more tech details about it ? As far as I understand it, you are using sockets and you have built a server using Harbour (console mode).

Have you tested it against multiple clients simultaneously ? Are you using threads ?

Harvey,

We had some reports of problems when the DBFs and indexes are managed _simultaneously_ from 16 and 32 bits _different_ apps.

Harvey,

Please provide a small and self contained example to reproduce it, thanks

Nobody else has complained about such behavior. So its really strange.

Are you simultaneously accesing your DBFs and indexes from 16 and 32 bits applications ?

... It do by programm named JOINER usually. I created this. It work fine (when I open file.BMP/GIF/JPG - picture and EXE will actived simultaneously). But JOINER use for write trojan usually and all antivirus programms note about this. What me do this time ?
