Antonio,

You said the new February build requires the Feb xHarbour, and you said it would not work with the Jan release.

xHarbour released the February build in January, and did not have a January release.

Does this mean it requires the upcoming 2nd February release, or will it work with the one officially titled February 2006 ?

Tim,

If your FWH (February) application properly links with the xharbour that you have, then you have the right one. If not, you will get some missing external symbols.

xharbour introduced these changes before Harbour, so xHB February should be ok with FWH February build.

I get an unresolved _hb_dynSymSymbol

Is this FWH or xHarbour ?

I had the same problem but I found a temporary fix for this a few message threads prior to this one.

However!

Why has the default window background color changed from white to dark grey with this new (2.7 February 2006) release?

Regards,

Dale.

Dale,

Is it a MDI window ?

Hi Antonio,

It is the first (parent) window in a small test application defined as:

Define Window oWnd MDI

I have fixed it by adding:

Define Window oWnd MDI Color CLR_WHITE, CLR_WHITE

but I was just wondering why such a small thing would have changed and for what reason?

Regards,

Dale.

Dale,

We changed it by a suggestion from Enrico, who is a great FW expert, but it seems the change was not ok. We will review it asap.

Thanks.

It is not really a problem (unless something else is being affected). I was just wondering.

Put it this way - my rantings and ravings about the FiveWin ListBox Browse are far more important than the background window color :)!

Regards,

Dale.
