Thanks Carles!

Antonio,

This debugger looks very good.

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience wit RMK-files. I use xHarbour Builder.

How should this debugger be implemented using xHarbour Builder ?

Thanks a lot.

[Silvio]

Good !!
Antonio, it run as the old our fwdebug ?
Go to try it

[Silvio]

when I am on application
how I must make to recall the debugger?
not run alt + d command ?
why it is open a dos window ?

Michel,

Carles has authorized us to include his debugger as part of FWH so from next FWH 10.2 version, the debugger will be included, tested and ready to be used

We are actually testing it with both Harbour and xHarbour as it requires some little changes. We will email you a beta, as soon as it is working, so you can also test it with xHb commercial, thanks

Antonio,

Thanks a lot for your efforts.

[Antonio Linares]

Michel,

Already sent to your email

Hi Antonio.
I'm using Xhb commercial too. Can you send me this new debugger ?
Thanks a lot.
Massimo.

Antonio,

I received your email. Thanks a lot.

I replaced my original FWH libraries (10.1) by the ones you sent me.

I recompiled and linked my application but I got an error which I didn't have before.

When the first dialogbox has to be shown, I got the error :

Cannot create dialogbox
Resource K_OPSTARTEN1

Dialog=>createdlgerror(558)

Since I don't have the changed source of the dialog class, I cannot check it.

I put my original FWH libraries back, and everything is just fine again.

Be careful : I didn't change anything for testing the debugging yet.

Thanks.

Michel,

Could you please try to build FWH\samples\combos.prg with the new libraries ? thanks

[Antonio Linares]

Massimo,

What FWH version are you using ?

[driessen]

Antonio,

I build combos.prg as you asked me to.

No problem. Everything looks just fine.

[Antonio Linares]

Michel,

Did you compile any PRG using /b (for debugger) ?

Do you keep your resources inside a DLL ?

[driessen]

Antonio,

I will try it out later this afternoon. I have to go to a customer now.

Antonio,

I did some testing with COMBOS.PRG, the new FWH debugger and the new libs you send me, together with the commercial xHarbour Builder. I added the flag "/b" to the xHarbour compiler.

When I start COMBOS.EXE, the debugging window appears with the very first , but if I push F5 (go), F7 (end function) or F8 (step), the window disappears and nothing happens further.

You can download COMBOS.EXE at http://www.ma-consult.be/combos.exe. Just add FWDBG.DLL and COMBOS.PRG and you'll see what happens.

The first steps have been taken and it looks very good.

Just one question : how about ALTD() ?

Any idea what happens ?

Thanks.
