Hi Antonio I have just a few "minor issues" that make xHarbour/FiveLinux not quite perfect (just yet!). 1. I haven't found a way to control the order of tabbing through a dialog - as far as I can determine it goes in row then column order regardless of the order in which the objects are in...

Hi Antonio > Nope, sorry. We have not used it across networks, just locally. > Well I should be testing in a few days - when I have my native Linux network up and running. I guess that its more of an xHarbour issue than specifically Five Linux. > Thats probably caused as the GET has not lost the foc...

Hi Antonio Back from holidays and about to get back into FiveLinux programming. The main application has been quite stable with some 4500 patient records and 1500 file records entered so far. Will try to address a few remaining issues with your help over the coming weeks. Currently just running as a...

I started using the Winexec() function. It seems to work fine if you have only 1 parameter to pass but not for more than 1 parameter. I am using it to run Open Office. Winexec( ""ooffice", "Test1.rep" ) works but the following don't Winexec( "ooffice", "-write...

I have read this thread with great interest and wanted to add my thoughts to it. I'm no great fan of IDE's myself and having been around well before the Windows days am quite happy to code my dialogs rather than drag and drop. But drag and drop would be nice and by relatively simple extension you ca...

Hi Antonio I would like to be able to control the tab order on a dialog box and / or have some controls not included on the tab list. I note that this does not seem to be able to be controlled by the order in which controls are instantiated - rather tab order seems to be in row then column order. Th...

Hi Antonio If I have a dialog containing code such as LOCAL test1 := SPACE( 4 ) LOCAL test2 := SPACE( 4 ) @3,1 SAY "Test1" @6,1 SAY "Test2" @3,11 GET test1 OF dlgTEST @6,11 GET test2 OF dlgTEST Then when the dialog starts up the cursor goes to the start of the first get, but when...

Hi Antonio Latest build (09 December 2007) seems to have fixed everything - will do more extensive testing later today. I'm very happy and want to thank you for your continuing support. I knew we would get there. My email has just died - thankfully just after I downloaded latest build. I guess my IS...

Once again thank you for your help Antonio. FiveLinux is getting better and better as you remove these little gremlins. Whilst at times it must be a little frustrating, Five Linux is so close to being the truly superb product that it always promised to be, that I am getting really excited about it. ...

Thanks Antonio I will build new version of application and recheck remaining issues. Currently getting around the list box problem (when tabbing in for the first time) by going through the options twice, adding the selected one on the first pass and all the rest on the second pass. This means that t...

I have had to go live with my first FiveLinux application although I still have a few minor issues. One problem that I hadn't noticed is as follows: The left [Shift] key works normally but the right [Shift] key inserts the question mark (?) but also has the expected effect of shifting characters to ...

Antonio I was going to try to subclass TListbox and see if I could get around the problem of selection changing when tabbing into a listbox by playing around with the GOTFOCUS message. But msgs.h doesn't list such a message. I assume it must exist? What defined constant? Are the constants defined in...

Hua I'm not sure exactly what features of Doxygen you wanted. But it seems to me that we might be able to build some code snippets for documenting xBase code in xBase itself. I think that any such system would, for many of its features at least, be highly dependant upon the programmer's programming ...

Antonio A possible work around might be if the LISTBOX class supported code blocks that were evaluated for the SETFOCUS and LOSTFOCUS events. The we could keep track of the last value and reset it. Not perfect - the screen might flash a bit, but possibly workable. I also note that it only happens th...

Antonio I tried a 1 column BROWSE. Setting oBrw:nAt worked in the sense that it selected the correct row but it also made that row the top row of the browse - which is not what I want. I haven't yet figured out how to use oBrw:oVScroll to scroll back to the top (hopefully without moving the currentl...
