Code: Select all
1251. The functions DC_AutoRestoreWindow() and DC_AutoRestoreBrowse() now
accept a codeblock as the first array parameter. This codeblock can be
used to write the window coordinate array to a file rather than the
registry. This is a better solution for users who login at different
workstations. See the sample programs in \exp19\samples\restorewindow.
1250. Added new NOSCROLLBARS clause to the DCPRINT ON command. This will
cause print preview scrollbars to not be created.
1249. The mouse wheel now scrolls the print preview window.
1248. Fixed a very old bug in DC_IniSave(). It didn't restore the setting of
SET EXACT.
1247. Added new functions for logging transactions when using DC_DbGather().
DC_DbGather() writes a record object to a database. Now this function
will log all transactions if this feature is enabled.
DC_DbGatherLog() is used to establish the name, alias and dbe of the
log file. DC_DbGatherLogBrowse() will browse the log file and display 2
windows that are used to show the contents of the record before and
after the write operation. Look at the sample program in
\exp19\samples\dbrecord\logging.prg.
1246. Added support for a code block as the FONT clause of @..DCSAY. The
font code block will be evaluated on a DC_GetRefresh() call.
1245. Fixed a bug in DC_AdsCursor2Array() that caused the first row to be
skipped and the last row to be duplicated.
1244. The OBJECTVAR clause of DCBROWSECOL now accepts a code block for
formatting the data. See the sample in
\exp19\samples\browse\objects.prg.
1243. Fixed a regression error in @..DCBROWSE when using TAGENABLE.
Occasionally an error would occur when pressing the CTRL key for the
first time.
1242. Added new function: DC_DbRecordIsEmpty(). This will test a DC_DbRecord()
object to determine if all fields are empty.
1241. Added new function: DC_DbRecordClone(). This will create a new
DC_DbRecord() object from an existing record object.
1240. Added new RECORD_SCATTTER translate to DCDIALOG.CH. Use this with the
WTF command when desiring to look at a snapshot of the current record
as a record object in the debug window.
Example: WTF MYDATA->record_scatter.
1239. Added a new MAX sub-clause to the FIT clause of the @..DCBROWSE
command. This sets the maximum width of a browse (in pixels) when using
the FIT clause.
1238. Added a new function: DC_DimScreen(). This function is used to dim and
disable a screen or the entire desktop. Use this function to force the
user to focus on a new window. See the sample in samples\dimmer.
1237. Fixed a bug. The NOSPAWN clause of DCPRINT ACROBAT was not working.
1236. Fixed a bug with DC_PrintPreviewAcrobatOpt(). Parameter 11 determines
whether temporary files are deleted. This parameter was being ignored
and files were always deleted.
1235. The functions DC_WaitOn() and DC_GuiAlert() will now center their
dialogs in their owner. The owner defaults to SetAppWindow().
1234. Modified some source files so they will all compile with Xbase++ 1.82.
Included batch files and project files in source folders to build 1.82
version of libraries. Some features will not be available when compiled
under 1.82, such as XCodeJock, RmChart, DCPUSHBUTTONXP, Instant
Messenger, and Excel functions.
1233. Fixed a problem with the REFRESHBLOCK .. WHEN clauses of @ .. DCBROWSE
being reversed and not working correctly.
1232. Fixed a regression problem with @ .. DCBROWSE Presentation parameters
not always properly displaying the highlight color.
1231. Fixed a problem with DC_HiliteGets() not always restoring the
background. Thanks to Jack Duijf.
1230. Fixed a problem in the TAGENABLE feature of @ .. DCBROWSE that caused
excessive slowness when clicking in the browse while no key is pressed.
1229. Fixed a runtime error when using the ZEBRA option of @ .. DCBROWSE with
the FREEZELEFT option. Also improved performance when using the ZEBRA
option.
1228. Fixed a bug in DC_InspectObject(). It was not restoring the error
handler.
1227. Fixed a regression bug (started in build 257) that caused the color
block of DCBROWSE and DCBROWSECOL to not receive the correct parameter.
PDR 6365 hotfix resolves this problem much better.
1226. Fixed a regression bug (started in build 255) that caused the dropdown
in DCGET .. COMBO to disappear if the validation returns a .F.
1225. Fixed a bug that caused icons and bitmaps that were referenced in the
BUTTONS option of DCGETOPTIONS to not display on the buttons.
1224. Fixed a regression bug that caused DC_XbpColumn():configure() to
sometimes fail. Problem was in the overloaded DC_XbpColumn():destroy()
method.
1223. Fixed a bug that prevented the MERGECHILDREN option of DCTABPAGE from
working correctly when using DCSETPARENT commands.
1222. Fixed a regression bug in DCMSGBOX and DC_MsgBox() that did not follow
the default exit condition when hitting the Escape key.
1221. Fixed a bug in DC_GetBitmap() that did not allow icons that were in a
.RES file to display.
1220. Fixed a bug with DCBROWSE .. FILTER. The array might not filter
correctly when using the wheel to scroll the browse. Thanks to Tom
Liehr.
1219. Fixed a regression problem. DCBROWSECOL with multirow data would cause
a runtime error.
1218. Fixed a regression problem. DCBROWSECOL headers and footers now align
properly.
1217. Fixed a regression problem if a DC* object had no parent - it would
not be created.
1216. Fixed a regression problem with painting an icon on a DCPUSHBUTTON.
1215. Improved DC_AdsStatement() class to properly close the cursor handle.
Thanks to Jack Duijf.
1214. Added the following function wrappers to _DCADS.PRG:
AdsFindClose(), AdsFindFirstTable(), AdsFindNextTable()
1213. Fixed a regression bug related to a DCSUBMENU that has no parent. This
was always allowed in the past so it could be used as a :popup() menu.
Build 257 would not create the DCSUBMENU object if it had no parent.
Build 258 corrects this problem.
