Simple Usage of gtWVT

What is gtWVT ?

gtWVT is the  GT driver for MS-Windows (Win 95 and higher) and was contributed to Xharbour on 22nd December 2003 by Peter Rees

It creates its own GUI window instead of using MS-console window. It allows to changes to font, window size, etc.

gtWVT is a pure console implementation of traditional Clipper terminaltaking Windows API as its base console IO protocols. Its OI are  rendered in a Windows window and hence all of MSDN is available  for use with GTWVT.


Simple Usage in Harbour/xHarbour

Incredibly as it may seems, just adding -gtwvt to yourproject.hbp and then hbmk2 yourproject.hbp will allow your newly recompiled CA-Clipper Codes (as Harbour Codes) to run  as a true 32-bits application to run in its own GUI window rather than the awkward Command Prompt Window :-)

gtWVT also supports  additional functionality with hb_gtInfo() interface. You may want to check out harbour\include\hbgtinfo.ch :-)

  1. Mr. Chee Chong,

    GtWvt is parent of Gtwvw (xharbour/harbour) and Gtwvg (harbour from pritpal bhedi). GtWvg is advanced system.
