Antonio,
I did any tests as follow

QUESTION 1:
I use the old Workshop and times ago I have problems to insert a new dialog because I had a lot of dialogs. Then I "split" my rc in 2 or more files, like:
BaseBmp.rc
BaseRes.rc
Gr_Dlg.rc

I edit each one and I create a main RC file that have a content like:

Code: Select all

1 24 "manifest.xml"

#include "..\LIB\RC\BaseBmp.rc"
#include "..\LIB\RC\BaseRes.rc"
#include ".\RC\Gr_Bmp.rc"
#include ".\RC\Gr_Dlg.rc"

In my compilation bat I use this main RC to generate the complete RES file and link it with my EXE. To edit the resources (with old and good Workshop) I edit each one (BaseBmp.rc, Gr_Dlg.rc, etc).
Do you plan make your Resource Editor know the '#include' ?

QUESTION 2:
I use 0x4L style in my dialogs and your RE don't know it and an error occur. A sample:

Code: Select all

EMP DIALOG 124, 113, 292, 165
STYLE 0x4L | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU | WS_THICKFRAME
CAPTION " Regras da Empresa"
FONT 6, "MS Sans Serif"
{
 PUSHBUTTON "&Salvar", 9001, 168, 145, 58, 16
 CONTROL "", 200, "txbrowse", 0 | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, 5, 7, 282, 134
 PUSHBUTTON "&Cancelar", 2, 229, 145, 58, 16
}

Best regards,
Maurilio

[Antonio Linares]

Maurilio,

There should be no problem to manage include files. Actually we just have a very early prototype, but we could easily add that feature.

To add new styles is as easy as (notice your reported 0x4L):

Code: Select all

static aDlgStyles := { { "WS_POPUP",    WS_POPUP },;
	                     { "WS_DLGFRAME", WS_DLGFRAME },;
	                     { "WS_SYSMENU",  WS_SYSMENU },;
	                     { "WS_CHILD",    WS_CHILD },;
	                     { "0x4L",        4 },;
	                     { "DS_MODALFRAME", DS_MODALFRAME } }

Antonio,
Your RE.exe ,Get ,combobox in a dialog could supoort Chinese words input in XP themes MODE!
Could add this feature to tget of FWH ?
Thanks !
Shuming Wang

[Antonio Linares]

Shuming,

Thanks for the info.

We appreciate if you keep testing next RE.EXE builds to see if we keep such compatibility with Chinese language, thanks!

[Antonio Linares]

A new build that properly parses and uses the font info:

[Antonio Linares]

A new build with TWBrowse, CHECKBOX and dialog styles support:

[TimStone]

I must be missing something. I downloaded and ran the latest build, open the RC, but all I see is the text editor ... no dialog like on your screen shots ...

Tim

[ShumingWang]

Tim,
Double click the left treeview items .

Antonio,

I have problem with accented Latin/Brazilian characters. The accented char is wrong displayed in preview (dialogs).

When I open alask.rc (dialog) the message is displayed:
Dialog style not found: WS_VISIBLE
In combos.rc:
Dialog style not found: 4

Dialogs style that show this message:
WS_THICKFRAME
WS_OVERLAPPED

EditText with style NOT WS_TABSTOP

Maurilio,

> I have problem with accented Latin/Brazilian characters. The accented char is wrong displayed in preview (dialogs).

When we build the resource in memory we use Windows MultiByteToWideChar() to generate an unicode string. The source code is in source\winapi\ctrl2chr. We may need to find the right parameters for accented chars.

We have fixed the other bugs that you have reported, except the NOT ...

[TimStone]

My .rc file was originally created in Resource, then it received some modification in Pelles, but now I mostly do alignments, etc. by hand.

When trying to look at it with the test rc.exe, it returns the following error when trying to open the dialogs:

Style not found: WS_VISIBLE
Style not found 0x00a00000

Is there a list of styles somewhere where I can see these explained. It may well be that I don't need some of the styles that are put into these dialogs and cleaning them up would be nice. I use the xHarbour.com xBuild and native compiler ( Microsoft compatible ). I've also noticed many of the samples posted don't have the same format for controls. All of my control lines start with the word CONTROL, ie:

CONTROL "&Reoccuring", 1064, "Button", WS_TABSTOP, 538, 148, 93, 12
CONTROL "", 1065, "Edit", WS_BORDER|WS_TABSTOP, 296, 24, 60, 10

Is there an article somewhere on how RC files need to be written for xHarbour ( Microsoft compatible ). Perhaps an MSDN reference ?

Thanks.
