FiveTech Support Forums

Hi,

we have successfully migrated our 16bit clipper application to xHarbour.com. This app is running in the GTWVG/HB_EXT_INKEY (New control keys that do not overlap with other codes) modus.

Now we want to add some FiveWin GUI elements, for example 'MessageBox( <hWnd>, <cText>, <cTitle>, <nStyle> )'.

So I have to include the 'FiveWin.ch' and here we go. But now something strange happens. There are some keycodes, e. g. "E" without any reaction and the MEMOEDIT doesn't work anymore (Argument error, operation '*', Trace Through: TDIALOG:NEW).

Is here anybody around who can help me:
- knows this problem or
- can direct me to a possible solution or
- have some other tips to find a solution
- can tell me some 'best practices' starting with FiveWin
before I'm lost in space

THX in advance

Frank

Try to not include Fivewin.ch.

Hello Enrico,
ok that works.
I guess because it's a Winapi function!?
But when I want to use FiveWin function, e. g. 'MsgNoYes( <cMsg>, <cTitle> ) --> lYesNo', I have to include the FiveWin.ch.

If you just want to use some functions, then there is no need to include FiveWin.ch

FiveWin.ch implements the FiveWin commands to manage GUI objects.

Antonio,
without FiveWin.ch I got an unresolved external symbol '_HB_FUN_MSGNOYES'!

I don't see how this is possible. MsgNoYes() don't need include files at all, as far as I know.

Additionally, I've tried to extract the part of the FiveWin.ch which make the prg run, but with no success. I thought one of these files: "Dialog.ch", "Font.ch", "Ini.ch", "Menu.ch", "Print.ch", "Colors.ch", "DLL.ch", "Folder.ch", "ODBC.ch", "DDE.ch", "Video.ch", "VKey.ch", "Tree.ch", "WinApi.ch" are responsible, but I've given up

Frank,

FiveWin should not be used with other GUI libraries, or there could be symbols conflicts, and crashes.

Its worth to rewrite some parts of your application, using FiveWin, so you can use all the FiveWin capabilities. FiveWin is very easy to understand and soon you will be mastering it

Antonio,

thank you very much for the positive and motivating words.

So first, I have to eliminate/replace all the GTWVG-Functionalities with the FiveWin matching parts.

Frank,
