In earlier versions, we noted that using xBrowse with ADS was experiencing new problems. When we went to the bottom of a browse, it would error out. ( When no index was specified ). This was fixed in the last release of 15.12 but it has now returned in 16.01 build 2. When left clicking on records in an xBrowse with ADS used to highlight it, the highlight line jumps to the top of the dialog. If you right click on the row, it sticks. This is a return of the previous ADS problem, fixed in 15.12 last release, when the file is used with ADS and no index specified.

So far I believe we have the following problems still active with xBrowse:

1) Positioning with ADS to bring focus to a specific row is failing to work correctly.
2) Set Checkmark is broken in 16.01 but worked in 15.12.
3) Column spacing using the old format of ADD column TO a browse does not format the columns correctly. This may also relate to the method to expand the largest field to fill in the allocated space in the resource.

xBrowse worked perfectly until the changes made for GDI Plus, Unicode, and for the new touch centric features. What was solid and reliable is now very problematic.

Please help on this.

Tim,

Mr. Rao has been ill for some days.

Surely he will be near to be active again and he is the xbrowse master so lets better wait for him

These first two issues still remain. I can modify the xbrowse if you can see where the issues occur. I will try the fix for item 3 posted in another thread today.

Regarding #3. You fixed this in 15.12, last revision, but that was not carried over to 16.01. The failure again occurred in 16.01. You had traced it to not having an index selected. In our case, as discussed in the original thread on the topic, the problem is always consistent in our file editor which starts with the file in natural order, no index selected. It was happening toward the end of the database, but now when left clicking to select a record in the browse, it fails.

We are making efforts to find why you are getting these problems.

Kindly appreciate that the only way is to test with common files and libraries that can be built both at your end and our end.

That is the reason I suggested some tests and sent you by email, with copies to other fwh team members, all the files and libraries used.

Please help us to find solution to your problems.

I will get to this shortly. I wrote that reply because you had found a problem once before. I think you made that at the last minute to 15.10 and it just didn't get added to 15.12. I was trying to save a lot of time because the changes you made back then did work correctly and solved the problem.

I am happy to test anything. Let me first apply two updates, 16.02 and a newer harbour build.

Tim

I understand and thanks.

At the same time let me assure you that there has been no change at all from 15.10 till date in the code for SetRDD() or the supporting function xads_keygoto().

I am very sure that if you are facing some issues with ADS now, they are definitely not due to any change / break in code or other improvements.

What is quite probable is that the solution we implemented in 15.10 itself was not adequate, though you could be seeing some effects now and not before.

So, I suggest we start testing with simple cases first and get to more and more complex browses step by step to localize the problem.

As shared in my email, I'm having build problems on the test script. Looking at the script, it doesn't make sense ....so I will wait for your response.

I did confirm the problem still exists with 16.02 and the latest FWH Harbour MSVC download ( from this morning ).

Mr. Rao,

I built the test yesterday, exactly as you requested. I first downloaded FWH 16.02 and also the Harbour version Antonio has posted on the Five Tech site, just so we would all be using the exact same Harbour and FWH versions. Also, I am using Visual Studio ( MSVC ) 2013 with the latest updates. I am very happy to test exactly what you provide.

When I tried the build, I found that your version of Harbour has a VC32 subfolder in the lib folder. That is not what Antonio provides, but his posted version is for MSVC, so I removed the subfolder from the build script and that worked fine until the link. I've looked at the script again because it says it is mission lib.obj, but I can find no reference to that in the script so I'm puzzled.

Other than the \harbour\lib\vc32 change, I am running your script exactly as provided, in the FWH folder as requested, with the files you provided.

Here is the output from the build:
