The year 2019 is coming to an end.
I want to note the most notable innovations and corrections of the Minigui library this year.
Below is my short list, which is subjective, of course:
See you in the New Year 2020...* New: Switcher control for logical variables
* New: Added the new ON INIT <bBlock> clause for the basic controls
* New: Added the useful network functions
* New: Added the functions, based on the function HMG_Alert()
* New: Added the Harbour contrib library for 7zip compression.
* New: Added the auxiliary add-on binary archive for a correct launching of
the MiniGUI advanced samples.
* New: Documentation 'Harbour for beginners' in format CHM.
* Fixed: Misc bugfixes for the memory leaks in the ToolBar[Ex] control.
* Fixed: The wrong using of the Registry class was fixed in the function
DeleteRegistryKey( nKey, cRegKey ).
Added the new command
DELETE [REGISTRY] SECTION <cKey> FROM [KEY] <hKey>
* Modified: The normal stringify result markers <""> was changed to smart
stringify result markers <()>. It allows to define the forms and
controls from a variable without using of a macro operator, i.e.
(cVar) instead of &cVar.
* Modified: Improved text extraction of the GRID item using a dynamic buffer
allocation. This will break the limit on the length of the grid cell,
which was set to 1023 characters earlier.
* Modified: The local OS detecting functions were replaced with a native
[x]Harbour implementation (instead of using the MiniGUI function
WindowsVersion()).
* Modified: The global fonts which were defined by the command DEFINE FONT
<font> FONTNAME <name> ... will preserved after closing of a form.
* Enhanced: Added 'ON DBLCLICK' clause (optional) to LABEL and IMAGE controls.
* Enhanced: The ButtonEX control supports now the 'ImageWidth' and
'ImageHeight' properties.
* Enhanced: The CHECKBOX, FRAME and RADIOGROUP controls supports the FontColor
and BackColor properties in the THEMED Operating Systems.
* Enhanced: The PROGRESSBAR control supports the ForeColor and BackColor
properties at a definition in the THEMED Operating Systems.
