Code: Select all

           ---------------- New to 2.0 (build 262) ----------

 1390. The samples folder now contains a sample program named SNYFFLE.  This
       is a client/server application that allows up to 4 people to play a
       Scrabble-like game on the internet.  Snyffle works exactly like
       Scrabble except it supports additional optional features that make it
       more fun and interesting.  There are 2 versions, SNYFFLE.PRG,
       SCSERVER.PRG which require Xb2.Net and SNYFFLE20.PRG, SCSERVER20.PRG
       which require Xbase++ 2.0.

 1389. The instant messenger system has been updated to work without the need
       for Xb2.Net when compiling in Xbase++ 2.0.  There are 2 versions of the
       source: IMCLIENT.PRG, IMSERVER.PRG and IMCLIENT20.PRG, IMSERVER20.PRG.

 1388. Added new Get-Set function: DC_ShowBalloonTip().  This function is used
       to enable the Balloon Tip feature added in build 260.  See item 1306
       below.  The default is now .FALSE. (disabled).

 1387. Added a new SHOWLASTCHAR sub clause to the PASSWORD clause of
       @ DCSAY..GET and @ DCGET.  This will cause the last character entered
       to be displayed instead of an asterisk.

 1386. The Xbase++ 2.0 version of XDOT.EXE can now use any Xbase Tools
       functions and DC_Xml*() functions.

 1385. Added a new subclass: DC_XbpOwnerDrawBrowseGeneric().  This is a
       GENERIC owner drawing system for DC_XbpBrowse. Each browse cell can draw
       text, icons or bitmaps anywhere within the cell by declaring each within
       a multi-dimensional array.  Look at the sample programs:
       .\samples\browse\calendar.prg and .\samples\browse\generic.prg.
       Note: This feature is not supported in Xbase++ version 331.

 1384. Added a new Get-Set function DC_MenuReverseColor(). This is used to
       change the way the color of the selected menu item behaves.  The
       default is .f. to preserve the look of existing menus.  A .t. will
       cause foreground and background color to switch.

 1383. Added a new RADIOGROUP clause to the @..DCRADIOBUTTON command.  This
       accepts a variable that must be initialized as an empty array.  This
       feature eliminates the need to have unique parents for each radio
       group.  See the sample in \exp20\samples\radiogroup.

 1382. Added new function DC_CSV2Array().  This function imports a
       comma-delimited CSV file into a 2-dimensional array.

 1381. Added new function DC_WorkArea2CSV().  This function exports a work
       area to a comma-delimited CSV file.

 1380. Added new methods to DC_XbpDialog1() class to allow for placing objects
       in the title bar of a window.  See the sample in
       \exp20\samples\titlebar.

 1379. Fixed a problem with DCRMCHART tooltips causing memory leak.

 1378. Added new function: DC_Error2String().  Creates a string from an
       Error() object that contains error info, environment info and status of
       open work areas.

 1377. DC_DbNotify() now handles allows for an optional <cFieldName> and
       <aActions> in the :writeBlock code block.

 1376. DC_ApplySqlParams() can now apply a literal value by enclosing the
       parameter in brackets, ex: [onhand].

 1375. There are 9 new methods in a DC_DbRecord() object: ::RecNo(),
       ::Deleted(), ::Alias(), ::Scatter(), ::Gather(), ::IsEmpty(), ::Trim(),
       ::asArray(), ::clear().  The sample program
       .\samples\dbrecord\methods.prg show how to use these methods.

 1374. Added a new RECORDOBJECT <oRecord> clause to the @ DCBROWSE command.
       The sample program .\samples\dbrecord\browse.prg (Tab 3) shows how to
       browse a database while using a single record object to access the data.
       The navigation code blocks of the browse force a oRecord:scatter() of
       the record into the object before each row is painted.

 1373. Fixed a bug with DC_XbpMenuShift() sometimes causing an error when
       using a CodeJock skin and pressing the SHIFT key on a menu item.

 1372. Added new functions DC_SaveEvents() and DC_RestoreEvents().
       DC_SaveEvents() will save all events in the event queue of the current
       thread to an array and clear all pending events from the event Queue.
       The event queue can then be later restored by DC_RestoreEvents(). This
       is sometimes necessary to affect correct behavior of dialog windows
       when a series of events must be interrupted to display a new window.

 1371. The ::mouseOver font of DCPUSHBUTTONXP now defaults to the ::font.

 1370. Resizing system has been improved for performance and to eliminate
       window trails on the desktop.  It also is thread-safe when using
       resizing rules that require resizing to work properly if a single
       window has child objects that run in different threads.

 1369. DC_XbpMenuShift() is now thread-safe.  This insures that each window
       can have it's own short-cut system for menus.

 1368. DC_SetScopeArray() regression fixed (again).

 1367. DC_WtfEnable() now accepts an array or a codeblock.  The code block is
       evaluated every time WTF is encountered and will only allow the WTF to
       display if the code block returns a .T.   Code block must return a
       logical value.

 1366. Added new function DC_DebugWindowBrowseFont().  This sets the font for
       the WTF browse window.

 1365. Fixed a bug with DC_Array2Excel().  The Cancel button did not work.

 1364. Fixed a bug with scaling and Tab Pages.  The font will no longer grow
       on relative tabpages if not declaring a font.

You will need to send me an email.
I did not want to announce this build yet.
It was done a bit hastily for the U.S. Devcon this month because it was given away to FoxPro programmers who attended my workshop.

There will be another new build before leaving for the European Devcon.
