NEWS FOR THIS RELEASE:

NEW DISTRIBUTION

From this release HMG OBJECTS is a separate project containing all needed components to work independently (Harbour+MingW+QT)

NEW MULTI-PLATFORM BACK-END

This new experimental release uses HBQT as backend (I still don't like it but it is the only multi-platform GUI framework officially supported by Harbour, so I've decided to experiment with it )

SEMI-OOP COMPATIBILITY

From this release, object variable assigned to a window created with DEFINE WINDOW command, is automatically made public. At control creation, an instance variable is dynamically added to its parent window object. The name of this instance variable, is the control's 'stringified' object variable name and its content is the control object. So, you could access a particular control from any place without regarding about scoping, exactly like standard HMG. So, we have standard OOP and semi-OOP to select

INSTALLATION:

Please unpack in c:\hmg.objects (OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT WORK).

Download: site

THANKS

Connection with QT was possible because the works of Pritpal Bedi & Marcos Antonio Gambeta (HBQT project) and CarozoDeQuilmes & Bruno Luciani (HBQTCOMMAND project)


Enjoy!

Roberto.

Oh Great Roberto!

No words to thank.

That would be perfect. I think we needn't change our existing code a lot.

Hello Roberto,

Thank you very much

Very very good news for all of us

Two good news - OOP and Multi Platform

I am very eager to test with it ... (now I am downloading)

Ok...thx for link Sudip.

Hi Roberto,

Thanks for your fantastic. It is just working great!

Can you please remove executable files from samples directory?

Also run time libraries (dll files) can be distributed once.

IMHO, This would reduce the installation file size considerably.

Hello Roberto,

I tested this. Excellent

As per my initial test:
1. Old HMG syntax changed (for OOP). But, more flexible.
2. Size of .exe file increased.
3. Required .dll files. So, now, we can't have stand alone .exe file. We must accept it to make it multi-platform

I like it

Rathi, you are correct.

Fantastic

Thanks a lot Roberto

Best regards
