Re: epDBU DBF Administration tool

Dick,

Code: Select all

lBlok1 := {||AScan(aRel,oDBDCSUb:FIELDGET(#relatie))<>0}
This is a compile time code block.
Macros are strings that are converted into a codeblock at runtime
If you change the declaration to

Code: Select all

LOCAL bFor, bWhile AS CODEBLOCK 
then it works

Re: epDBU DBF Administration tool

Dick,
With regard to the error with the codeblock:
How did you declare bFor and bWhile?
There is a different in X# (and VO) between CodeBlock and _Codeblock. The first is for compile time codeblocks and the second for macro compiled code blocks.

Re: Documentation issues

Guys,
This is indeed an internal function. I will remove the docs from the help file for the next build

Re: Documentation issues

Kees,
The compiler knows that it is an int.
What you see in this tooltip is coming from the XSharp.RT.Xml file.
That file is generated from documentation comments, and is apparently not correct.

And w.r.t. that website: that website is maintained by Wolfgang. We have no control over that

Re: Documentation issues

Kees,
AUTO means that the compiler will AUTOmatically create a backing field for the property and the matching Getter and Setter.
I will check the docs and add a description.

Re: Use AI to explore XSharp (across the entire GitHub repository)

Xinjie,
This is fascinating. I find the descriptions overall very good. Is this based on the source code only, or does this include information from others sources as well?

Re: Event handler changes not in GIT

Dick,
Git does not "know" anything about event handlers or any kind of code.
It works at the file level and compares changes between the original and the changed code.
When your event handlers are no longer there, then there was an error when merging the changed code and the original code.

Re: Macro code in preprocessor?

Isaac,
If you are building with VS/MdBuild then you can create a build task that generates a file with this info and add that file as Compile Item to the build script.

Re: OLEAutoObject question

Dick,

Apparently, Chilcat has registered the COM component . The OleAutoObject class searches the registry for the progid "Chilkat_9_5_0.Global"
and from there finds the DLL that implements this com component.

Similarly Microsoft Word is registered here:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Application

Re: XIDE high DPI support

Chris,
I was having some problems with my eyes last week and had to work with my multi focal glasses.
I found the fonts in XIDE difficult to read.
Can you add an option to change the fonts of the menu, project window etc?
That would be really nice.
It would be enough to be able to increase/decrease ...
