Please review new samples\testgrph.prg. Many thanks to Alvaro Quintana for his great help.

* FWMariaRowSet:

- SetGet method PrimaryVal: Fixed bug when record pointer is invalid.

- Method Requery(...) Enhancement: It is now possible to read a totally
different table/sql.
Syntax:
:Requery( cNewSq, aParams ) // same params as for oCn:RowSet() reads
a new rowset data into the present Rowset, replacing the existing data.
Other syntax already availabe in previous versions also:
:Requery() // re-read same sql without changing params if any
:Requery( aParams ) // re-read same sql with new params
Example:
oRs := oCn:RowSet( "select * from states where id > ?", {20} )
// do something with oRs
oRs:Requery( "select * from customer where age > ?",{45} )
// now oRs is a new table

* TDatabase: Fixed bug while handling empty dbf.

* TWBrowse:
- New methods SetOBJ( oDbf/oRs/oQry ) and SetADO( oRs ), make
it easier to setup WBrowse for TDataBase, TRecSet, RecordSet, MariaDB
RowSet, Dolphin/TMySql TQuery.
- New DATA bClrStd: If specified, the codeblock should return an
array of { nClrText, nClrBack } to be used to paint each row.
- New DATA aFooters: Optional Array of footer strings.

* FW_ReadImage( imgSource ) / oWnd:ReadImage( imgSource )
Now, it is possible to read bitmap from a bmpfile, even if the extension s
