Harbour MiniGUI 1.9 Extended Edition (Build 94) Released on 15th March 2011

CCH: From the HMG Extended Forum

Hi All,

The Harbour MiniGUI 1.9 Extended Edition (Build 94) setup is published at the following URL:

http://hmgextended.com/files/CONTRIB/hmg-1.9-94-setup.zip

There is the following changelog for this build:

2011/03/15: Build 94 (HMG 1.9 Extended Edition) Published.
* Fixed: The 'OnChange' event fired by mouse click in the celled GRID without
changing of the cell. It exists in the official version too.
Contributed by Grigory Filatov
(see demo2.prg in folder \samples\Basic\Grid_7)
* Fixed: The Radiogroup executes 'OnChange' event by mouse click when it's value
is not changed. It exists in the official version too.
Contributed by Grigory Filatov
(see demo1.prg in folder \samples\Basic\RadioGroup)
* Fixed: Minor correction of RadioGroup SetFocus behaviour.
Contributed by Grigory Filatov
* Enhanced: RadioGroup accepts now a zero value. This is usefully when we want
init a radiogroup without default value.
When we assign a value greater or smaller than radiogroup elements amount,
the previous value will be mainted and not display the runtime error.
Based upon a contribution by Eduardo Fernandes
(see demo3.prg in folder \samples\Basic\RadioGroup)
* Enhanced: DATEPICKER control supports a new clause RANGE dRangeMin, dRangeMax.
You can set/get these properties at runtime:
- function syntax:
SetProperty ( Form, DatePick, 'RangeMin', dData )
GetProperty ( Form, DatePick, 'RangeMax' ) --> dData
- pseudo-OOP syntax:
Form.DatePick.RangeMin := dData
Form.DatePick.RangeMax --> dData
You can erase date range at runtime via:
Form.DatePick.RangeMin := 0
Form.DatePick.RangeMax := 0
Requested by Anibal Villalobos Guillen .
Based upon a code by Alfredo Franceschetti .
Contributed by Grigory Filatov
(see demo2.prg in folder \samples\Basic\DatePicker)
* Changed: Minor improvements in the functions InputBox() and InputWindow().
Suggested by Honorio A. S. Almeida .
Contributed by Grigory Filatov
(see demo in folder \samples\Basic\InputBox)
* Changed: The internal function Random() is defined as pseudo-function now.
It is a wrapper for the Harbour function hb_RandomInt().

Welcome to Clipper... Clipper... Clipper


In 1997, then using Delphi 3, I had already created 32-bits Windows applications for HRIS, ERP and CRM. In 2007, using Ruby on Rails, an AJAX powered CRM site running on Apache & MySQL was created and I am now using Visual Studio .Net 2008 to create web-based projects and Delphi 7 for Win32 applications using SQL2005 & DBFCDX.

So, why then am I reviving the Original Clipper... Clipper... Clipper via a Blog as CA-Clipper is a programming language for the DOS world ? Believe it or not, there are still some clients using my mission-critical CA-Clipper applications for DOS installed in the late 80's and up to the mid 90's. This is testimony to CA-Clipper's robustness as a language :-)

With the widespread introduction of Windows 7 64-bits as the standard O/S for new Windows based PCs & Notebooks, CA-Clipper EXE simply will not work and it has become imperative for Clipper programmers to migrate immediately to Harbour to build 32/64 bits EXEs

Since 28th January 2009, this blog has been read by 134,389 (10/3/11 - 39,277) unique visitors (of which 45,151 (10/3/11 - 13,929) are returning visitors) from 103 countries and 1,574 cities & towns in Europe (37; 764 cities), North America (3; 373 cities) , Central America & Caribeans (6; 13 cities), South America(10; 226 cities), Africa & Middle-East (12; 44 cities) , Asia-Pacific (21; 175 cities). So, obviously Clipper is Alive & Well : -)


TIA & Enjoy ! (10th October 2012, 11:05; 13th November 2015)


Original Welcome Page for Clipper... Clipper... Clipper

This is the original Welcome Page for Clipper... Clipper... Clipper, which I am republishing for historical and sentimental reasons. The only changes that I have made was to fix all the broken links. BTW, the counter from counter.digits.com is still working :-)

Welcome to Chee Chong Hwa's Malaysian WWW web site which is dedicated to Clipperheads throughout the world.

This site started out as a teeny-weeny section of Who the heck is Chee Chong Hwa ? and has graduated into a full blown web site of more than 140 pages (actually hundreds of A4 size pages) ! This is due to its growing popularity and tremendous encouragements from visiting Clipperheads from 100 countries worldwide, from North America, Central America, Caribbean, South America, Europe, Middle-East, Africa and Asia-Pacific. Thanx Clipperheads, you all made this happen !


What is Clipper ?

You may ask, what is this Clipper stuff ? Could Clipper be something to do with sailing as it is the name of a very fast sailing American ship in the 19th century ?

Well, Clipper or to be precise, CA-Clipper is the premier PC-Software development tool for DOS. It was first developed by Nantucket Corporation initially as a compiler for dBase3+ programs. Since then, CA-Clipper has evolved away from its x-base roots with the introduction of lexical scoping & pre-defined objects like TBrowse. As at today, the most stable version ofClipper is 5.2e while the latest version, 5.3a was introduced on 21 May 1996.

As at 11th November, 1996, an unofficial 5.3a fixes file was made available by Jo French. See the About CA-Clipper 5.3a section for more details. BTW, Jo French uploaded the revised 5.3a fixes file on 20th November, 1996.

Latest News

The latest news is that CA has finally released the long-awaited 5.3b patch on 21 May, 1997.

For 5.3b users, you must a take a look at Jo French's comments on unfixed bugs in 5.3b.

BTW, have you used Click ? If you're a serious Clipperprogrammer and need an excellent code formatter, Click is a natural choice. How to get it ? Simple, access Phil Barnett's site via my Cool Clipper Sites.

32-bits Clipper for Windows ?

Have you tried Xbase ++ ? Well, I have and compared to Delphi (my current Windows programming tool of choice), I'm still sticking to Delphi.

Anyway, you should visit the Alaska Home Page. Give it a chance and then draw your own conclusions !.
