many thanks to Antonino!

New example FWH\samples\themes.prg

* Fix: In FWH64 there were some errors in treeview.c. Now it is ok.

many thanks to Antonino!

viewtopic.php?p=177759#p177759

many thanks to Antonino!

* Enhancement: XBrowse.prg. Does not require freeimage.dll for most commonly
used imagetypes like BMP,ICO,PNG,GIF,JPG,TIF whether used as file ref or
image data. It is not needed to provide freeimage.dll along with the
application. In case other image types are used in the program, freeimage.dll
is used only if present and does not raise an error.

* FreeImage.Dll: No more required along with the Exe, as long as the
application does not use any image file/buffer/resource of image formats
other than BMP, ICO, PNG, GIF, JPG, TIF.
However TImage class continues to use FreeImage.dll. The new TXImage class
does not require this dll for common image formats.
The dll is required along with the application only when TImage class is
used in the application or any image format other than the above
formats are used in the application.

* Fix: TTxtEdit.prg: Fixed runtime error when going to previous or
next line if no font is explicitly set.

* FW_AdoExportToDBF() uses "DBFCDX". If DBFCDX RDD is not linked,
a message is displayed and the export is not performed.

* Enhancement: XBrowse: Now it is possible to assign a multi-dim array
as oCol:aEditListTxt during runtime also.

Antonio,

Important: FWH 15.06 supports Bcc 7 and does not support Bcc 5.82

Were can we get Bcc 7?

James

[Antonio Linares]

James,

From Embarcadero

[James Bott]

Ok, after much digging it seems we have to purchase an IDE to get Borland 7. And it costs US$217.

https://store.embarcadero.com/542/purl-cbanner

...and it is not usable without the IDE. So going to to BCC 7 will require a complete re-write of our apps. Is that correct?

I assume the new FW will also work with VS and there is a free version of that, correct?

It looks like we are at a fork in the road and both forks are going to require re-writes of our apps. Is that correct?

James

[Antonio Linares]

James,

There is no need to modify our apps at all.

bcc 7 works perfectly without the IDE and in fact it can be easily redistributed in a zip file.

But embarcadero does not allow to redistribute those files. I have sent you an email with more details.

Antonio, can you send me too the email with more details for BCC version 7 ?
Thank you
Max
