By the way, the software looks just great! What does this software do? Link all the programs or what?
1) The software I've been developing is a Front Office system for Ads-agency namely Production House and Post-Ediiting-Films/Video. Their jobs are to provide final video to release as Ads to appear on TV.

2) This screenshoot illustrates how databases are designed to cover the system-information need, in brief and simple way.

3) How do I develop? To begin with, I collected so many available samples of source program within HMG.3.3.1 folder, togather with several source programs shared in this forum. Then make them all work togather by adapting my needs. Last but not least, my old source programs written in CLIPPER-52e also combined in this project.

4) This prototype apps, for the the time being, takes many images availabe in SAMPLES folder to make it ASAP (as soon as possible). The most important thing is: I have've done exercises everyday with: GRID-CONTROL, WINDOW-CONTROL, MENUS-CONTROL, ACTIVEX, BOSTAURUS, RICHEDIT, PRINT-SYSTEM, BARCODE.... Everything not available in my past programming experinces with COBOL-BASIC-DATABASES.

Thanks for your support and kind attention.

Regards

Hi Agil,

Here's a tutorial for HMG written by Giovanni (HMG Forum Member):

http://www.elektrosoft.it/tutorials/hmg/hmg.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And the best way to learn HMG is to write your code from it. HMG (Official at HMG Forum) and HMG Extended (http://www.hmgextended.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), which is fork out of HMG Official and both use Harbour Compiler. Both distribution contains samples from basic to advance. You can use those samples as basis to get started. You may also consider downloading the Harbour nightly build and browse the codes. The link is:
http://harbour.github.io/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The manuals at elektrosoft.

There are also other variants as well apart from HMG Official and HMG Extended like HwGUI (from which HMG Official has been forked out), ooHG and HBQt.

Basically there's 20% to 30% difference between Clipper code and HMG code. Those are the codes associated with events and control objects actions. The rest remains Clipper code except the control flow (logic).

I basically used the PRG format of form layout and sometimes used the FMG forms. I tucked them inside a zip file and expand to a temporary folder when the program starts and erased them when the program terminates. Well, I did that to hide it from curious end users who in one way or the other finds it amusing to mess with the program and always come-up with the famous innocent phrase, "I don't know, a while ago its working fine".

Good luck,

Danny
What you pointed out, I've done most of them. Except, I have no time to take a look at variant of Harbour, let say OOHG and HBQT.

Salam Abdullah

Your project has a perfect UI; congrats to your performance (again) such a short time :o 8-)

And a bigger congrats, if works all buttons ( in toolbar and sidebar ) :)

Please continue to work and notify us :)

Happy HMG'ing :D
1) Frankly speaking, I can learn fast in HMG programming because of you (and all friends in this forum) support. That's way, only within 3 weeks I managed to build my own project which is applicable in my office. Although in fact I retired as a programmer some 10years ago and just made a comeback as per September 2014.

2) Continue to notify? Well... this screenshoot illustrates how I modified RicheditBox.prg to look more interesting when it comes with my software/apps. It's not finished yet, but represented the whole of my imagination. :) I wish somebody could tell me to find free modules in HMG for :mini Calculator.

I did download your attachments, but found the following error (see screenshoot):


I did :- copy from files your folder Includes into my HMG.3.3.1\include
- copy from files your folder Lib HMG.3.3.1 into my HMG.3.3.1\lib
- build : call c:\hmg.3.3.1\build.bat inoutemail.hbp
Then error found. I am using 32bit.

Pls tell me what's wrong with that.

Many thanks.
