  menus to change the font size of the operating system

• New: DATA of TMenu: nRightSp, set number of spaces to the right
  of the item to set the width of menus

• Unicode support extended to all controls. Existing applications
  turn into multi-lingual unicode application by inserting one line
  of code in the Main function

FW_SetUnicode( .t. )

This being a major revision, we request the users to provide
feedback to help improvements.

• It is the ulitmate aim that a single application can simultaneously
  have different ANSI and Unicode windows at the sametime and also
  one window/dialog to contain some Ansi and some Unicode controls.
  But for now it is desirable to have the entire application either as
  Ansi or as Unicode. However even in a Unicode application, every effort
  has been makde to maintain full backward compatibility of Ansi text
  opetaions including accented characters. Any feedback on this aspect
  will be highly appreciated and promptly responded.

• Fix: Edit.prg: fixed excess release of font when font clause is used.

• Enhancement: Unicode support for common messageboxesm MsgInfo(),
  MsgAlert(), MsgStop(), MsgYesNo(), MsgNoYes(), MsgRetryCancel(),
  MsgAbout(), MsgRun, MsgWait(). MsgText and Title can be any
  combination of UTF8/ANSI. Buttons are shown in the default
  language installed.

• MsgGet() supports unicode display and edit if FW_SetUnicode()
  is set to TRUE.

• MemoEdit() supports unicode display and multilingual edit
  if FW_SetUnicode() is set to TRUE

• Enhancement: TEdit control supports multiline mode.

• Supports multi-lingual edit from keyboard / paste.

• Supports password clause

• Enhancement: GetTextWidth(). Optionally text height can be
  retrieved in the 4th parameter if passed by reference.

• New: functions CompareString( nLocaleID, cUtfStr1, cUtfStr2 ) and
  CompareStringEx( cLocaleName, cUtfStr1, cUtfStr2 ) adopting Win API
  for comparing UTF8 stings,

• New: DATA ncLocalID of TXBrwColumn: If provided UTF8 data in
  a column in an arry can be sorted like other columns

• Enhancement: XBrowse: Reasonable functionality for Unicode Incremental
  Seeks, etc.

Marco,

Could you please show how you build the menu ?

Could you provide a small example to reproduce it ?

I am testing FWH\samples\fivedit.prg or fivedbu.prg and the menus are working fine.
Could you test them ? thanks

FWH 15.09 build 4 already published

October 2015 ( 15.09 revised build - 4 )

• Fix: Menus in Windows XP

• New: Samples Multilin0.prg and MenuClr.prg

• New: TPrinter class new methods:
  1) SayText( nRow, nCol, cText, [nWidth], [nHeight], [oFont], [cAlign], [nClrText], [nClrBack] )
  Prints multi-line text with word-wrap in the rectangle formed by nRow,nCol,nWidth,nHeight.
  By default width and height are limited to 90% of the page-size.
  By default the text is aligned to Top-Left of the rectangle.

2) PrintImage( nRow, nCol, uImage, nWidth, nHeight, lStretch, nAlpha, lTransp, lGray )
Alternative method to SayImage.
Accepts any image file, resource, memory buffer, bitmap handle, TBitmap or TImage
or TXImage Object and does not require freeimage.dll.

3) SayBitmap method improved. Now SayBitmap also accepts any image file, resource,
memory buffer or bitmap handle and does not require freeimage.dll

• Fixes for Unicode support:
  1) Combobox with bitmaps
  2) Password Gets
