CCH : From the HMG Extended Forum

Hi All,

The Harbour MiniGUI 1.9 Extended Edition (Build 91) setup is published at the following URL:

http://hmgextended.com/files/CONTRIB/hmg-1.9-91-setup.zip

There is the following changelog for this build:

2010/12/15: Build 91 Christmas Edition (HMG 1.9 Extended Edition) Published.
* New: Windows supports now the HelpButton property.
You can set/get this property at runtime:
- function syntax:
SetProperty ( Form, 'HelpButton', lLogical )
GetProperty ( Form, 'HelpButton' )
- pseudo-OOP syntax:
Form.HelpButton := lLogical
Form.HelpButton --> logical value

(see demo in folder \samples\Basic\MAINDEMO_(
SYNTAX_I))
* New: Optional Strongly-Typed Variables assignment is available for
LOCAL, STATIC, PRIVATE and PUBLIC declarations. It will automatically
assign a specific type value to declaration that does not have an initial
value assigned to it.
Example:
LOCAL cVar AS STRING
This declaration will initially assign an empty string value
to the variable cVar.
There is a command that will assign a value and check for type of value
being assigned instead of using the traditional := assignment operator:
ASSIGN cVar := "This is a String"
Any attempt to assign a value of a different type using this statement
will result in a run-time error.
You may continue to declare your variables with the assignment option
in the traditional manner also.
Based upon a code donated by Bryan Duchesne <crewsys@nbnet.nb.ca>.
