We are pleased to announce a new build of Harbour MiniGUI Extended
Edition.
It is a regularly scheduled maintenance and bugfix release.
A setup of the ANSI build 22.09 for Borland C++ 5.8.2 is published at
the following URL:
https://hmgextended.com/files/CONTRIB/hm ... -setup.exe
There is also an extra donationware Minigui package built for the freeware
Embarcadero C++ 10.2 ‘Tokyo’ compiler (which is included in the package
for your convenience).
Whatsnew:
2022/09/15: HMG Extended Edition version 22.09.
This release is considered stable and ready for production use.* Fixed: Issue in situation when the first GetBox has a VALID codeblock
and the second GetBox control has a WHEN codeblock.
If losing focus of the first getbox and focus goes to the next
control, then will be executed WHEN codeblock and only after
that the VALID codeblock of the first getbox is executed, and
if this VALID function is false, returns to the first getbox.
Bug was reported by Hans Marc at the Minigui forum.
