Hi all, since the comp.lang... group is rather dead and flooded with some Thai spam I need to bother you here: I'm struggling for days with dragging a filename from my application to File Explorer. Like in the SDK I use CF_HDROP. I have copied the whole code from the SDK to track down every single ...

<t>Robert,<br/> <br/> it does make sense if you have a generic serializer (our is vaguely based on the XMLParser class of Anthony Smith) whose results may be passed to a SQL statement. According to the comments there seem to be restrictions in some dialects regarding separators in the string ...

<r>Please consider it (almost) solved, I found the problem: Hidden deeply in our code there was a new <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> SetThousandSep(Asc(""))<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> which caused the problem.<br/> <br/> But this raises another little question: Speaking with the developer I understand that he ...

<r>Playing around with the settings didn't change anything, but maybe it helps to know that <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>transform( fValue, "999,999" )<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <B><s>[b]</s>produces a chr(0) instead of the commas<e>[/b]</e></B>. If fValue<=999 there is no comma and the result is ok. If it is ...

<r>Probably I got something wrong, but can anyone please explain this:<br/> <br/> <ATTACHMENT filename="transform.png" index="0"><s>[attachment=0]</s>transform.png<e>[/attachment]</e></ATTACHMENT> Lots of code from VO which format numeric values suddenly produce inexplicable results because they ...

Hi Karl,

perfect: that does the trick!

  Now the behaviour is 1:1 to VO. But what kind of magic is this?

<r>Hi Chris,<br/> <br/> here is a simple example. The following code is exactly the same in VO and XSharp: <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>FUNCTION DialogWindowTest AS VOID<br/> LOCAL oDlg AS MyDialogWindow<br/> LOCAL oOwner AS OBJECT<br/> <br/> oOwner := GetObjectByHandle(GetActiveWindow())<br/> DO WHILE ...

<r>I see, and of course I agree with the concept. However, I would expect that a window with fixed constants as dimension, passed by the Size assign, would appear identical regardless if shown by VO or X# code <B><s>[b]</s>on the same machine with the same resolution<e>[/b]</e></B> (which is, BTW ...

Leonid,

we do all of this (in VO) for all the dynamic controls. But in VO it is enough to set the calculated size (taking system menu etc. into account) via the "Size" ASSIGN. In X# there seems to be a difference which I haven't understood fully yet...

<r>So doing this<br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> ASSIGN size( oSize )<br/> LOCAL rc IS _WINRECT<br/> LOCAL dwExStyle := DWORD(_CAST, GetWindowLong(SELF:Handle(), GWL_EXSTYLE)) AS DWORD<br/> <br/> SUPER:size := oSize<br/> SetRect(@rc, 0, 0, <B><s>[b]</s>SELF:size:width, SELF:canvasarea:size:height<e>[/b ...
