Hi All,

I've uploaded the updated setup of the build 21.07 for Borland C++ 5.8.2 at

http://hmgextended.com/files/CONTRIB/hm ... -setup.exe

Whatsnew:

2021/08/31: HMG Extended Edition version 21.07 (Update 4).
* Modified: The function _SetGetGlobal() uses a hash instead of array
for storing of the Pseudo-Global variables.
Sample code:
aKeys := _SetGetGlobal():Keys() // list of all variables and keys
aValues := _SetGetGlobal():Values() // list of all values
aAll := _SetGetGlobal():GetAll() // an array of all variables and
values, i.e. { { key, value }, ... }
Suggested and contributed by Sergej Kiselev.
* Enhanced: Added the auxiliary pseudo-function _DelGlobal() for cleaning of
a global hash with the Pseudo-Global variables.
Syntax:
_DelGlobal( <cVarName> )
where
<cVarName> is the name of the Pseudo-Global variable to remove.
Contributed by Grigory Filatov <gfilatov@inbox.ru>
* Updated: Synchronized Extended HMG for compatibility with Official HMG:
- New: BROWSE control supports the optional clause INPUTMASK.
This must be defined as a character array (one element per column).
The same rules as TEXTBOX control are applied.
Sample:
INPUTMASK { '$99.9', '!!!!!!!!!!' , '!!!!!!!!!!' )
Contributed by Roberto Lopez in the official HMG 2.0.3.
Adapted for Minigui Extended by Grigory Filatov <gfilatov@inbox.ru>

- using of the Pseudo-Global variable in the method DxColors().
