HMG Extended Edition version 22.01 is published

[gfilatov]

Hi Friends,

We are pleased to announce a new build of Harbour MiniGUI Extended
Edition.

It is a regularly scheduled maintenance release.

This release is considered stable and ready for production use.

Here's a breakdown of some of the modifications in the build 22.01.
For the full list, please see the changelog.

* Fixed DATEPICKER control: 'Value' property returns TimeStamp type
if the FORMATSTRING property was defined (introduced in the build 21.09).

* Added the function nStrToNum( cNumericVal, [lEuropean] ) --> nVal

* Added the function uCharToVal( cText, [cType] ) --> uVal.
It is an inverse function to the function cValToChar().

* The improved function cValToChar() preserves the full accuracy
of the number value with the internal function cNumToChar().
It does not depend on the SET DECIMALS TO <n> setting now.

* The DO MESSAGE LOOP command supports the optional EXIT [ON EXCEPTION]
clause (default is false).

* The useful function GetPixelColor() was moved to MiniGUI core.

* Updated and improved the TSBrowse library.

* Updated the HMG_HPDF, RddLeto and SQLite3 libraries.

* Added the new interesting samples and updated some examples.

A setup of the ANSI build 22.01 for Borland C++ 5.8.2 is published at
the following URL:

There is also an extra donationware Minigui Ex built for the freeware
Embarcadero C++ 10.2 ‘Tokyo’ compiler which is included in the package.

The upgrade to this build is recommended.
