What's new in FiveWin 2.2 FiveWin 2.2
* Enhancement: Memory management routines have been improved
for Windows NT and 2000. Our beta-testers have reported a much
better behavior.
* Enhancement: Class TBitmap is now compatible with FWPLUS users.
* Enhancement: Class TButton is now compatible with FWPLUS users. More
changes will be implemented soon on more classes. Many thanks to Ron Pinkas
cooperation.
* Fixes: Class TBtnBmp color management fixes. Many thanks to Toninho.
* Enhancement: Fonts management have been greatly improved, so now fonts,
by default, are reused in all windows, dialogs and controls of the app, thus
reducing the resources consume.
* Bug: FWH cValToChar() was not properly processing a nil value. Fixed!
* Bug: FWH bug fixed in Class TFolder method Destroy().
* Enhancement: Class TPrinter method GetTextHeight() adapted to new fonts
enhancements.
* Enhancement: Class TRGroup some modifications for FWH.
* Enhancement: Class TWindow, reduced memory consume for FW++ and FWH.
* Enhancement: ODBC general management has been greatly improved, so now the
same code runs under 16 and 32 bits (FW++ and FWH). There is a new module
odbc32x.c to keep compatibility. Many thanks to Jorge Mason cooperation.
* New: New control Classes developed by Ramón Avendaño: Class TFGet (multine
get with different fonts and colors support simultaneously), Class TSelector, Class
TSlider and TIconGroup. Please review SAMPLES\TestFGet, TestSele, TestSlid and
TestIGro. We have done an arrangement with Ramón, so FiveTech has adapted
them to 32 bits and developed their documentation, so from now on they will be
included with FW, FW++ and FWH. Many thanks Ramón!
* New: DiskChange() suppor for FW++.
* New: GetCPUSpeed() for FWH. It returns the exact CPU speed of the computer. We are
wortking to adapt this funtion to 16 bits.
* Improved: GetCPU() for FWH. It returns the exact CPU model the computer has.
Unfortunately this improvement only works in 32 bits.
* Enhancement: FW ErrorSysW.prg has been adapted so now the same errors
management is used by FWH.
* Fixed: GetTasks() has been adapted to FWH.
* Fixed: FW nExtMem() has been adapted to use DLL32 to access Kernel32.dll,
so now it returns the right hardware memory value. It has also been implemented
for FWH and FW++.
* Enhancement: GetDlgItem() has been properly adapted to 32 bits. Many thanks
to Sid and Brian.
* New: GetFreeSystemResources() is now working for 32 bits. Provided source
code is a good sample to see how to thunk from 32 to 16 bits (hopefully it may not
be needed many more times! :-).
* Enhanced: GetVersion() 32 bits uses now Win32 GetVersionEx().
* Enhanced: We keep working on the Visual IDE, you may review it to see how
it starts working nicely with FWH.
* Fixed: Lfn2sfn was not working correctly
* Fixed: Wrong Msgbar display when the color pane was changed
* Enhanced: Now the Wbrowse vertical scroll bar works correctly with very large
tables. Until now it only worked for databases with a maximum of 32768 records.
* Fixed: Wrong display of bitmaped buttons on button bars when more than one
resource or bitmap file was used.
