We have uploaded a beta copy of salflibc.dll so that users can test out recent fixes. This is mainly for ClearWin+ but there will be the occasional fix elsewhere (e.g. run time IO).

The download is in the form of a self-extracting archive. Don't forget to create backup files before copying.

Paul, I start working with the new DLL and immediately I found the first funny thing:

Code:
      winapp
      program test
      implicit none
      include <windows.ins>

      external      results
      integer*4     j,i_azim

      common  /angle/   i_azim

      i_azim = 100
      j = winio@('%ac[Esc]Azimut =%dd%^`3rd','exit',5,i_azim,
     *    results)
      end

      integer*4 function results()
      implicit none

      integer*4     i_azim

      common  /angle/   i_azim

      print*,i_azim
      results = 1
      end

Using the spin wheel, the callback "results" should be activated. With the new DLL this only works if the numerical field %3rd is NOT greyed. With my old DLL this works also if it is greyed (and this must be possible).

A second funny thing:

Before, %7bt[] creates the empty button as it should look. Now, a blank must be between the brackets: %7bt[ ]. Not a serious thing, but several work in many routines.

I assume this is just a self extracting zip file rather than an installer ?
is there documentation included of what the changes are ? (I have seen you've been fixing some long-standing requests)

I have logged Wilfried's comments for investigation.

Yes it is a self-extracting exe with copy of the ClearWin+ enhancements included.

Windows 8.1 objects to this kind of download but I hope 8.1 users can manage.

The regression with the spin control %dd has been fixed for the next release.
A classic case of a new fix making an old one elsewhere redundant.

Thanks a lot!

Here comes the next (sorry...):

From http://www.silverfrost.com/ftn95-help/clearwinp/library/get_multiple_filenames_.aspx I've loaded the example given there:

Code:
      WINAPP
      INCLUDE <windows.ins>
      LOGICAL L,next
      CHARACTER*256 filename,filter,defpath
      filter = "Free Fortran files (*.f90)"//char(0)//"*.f90"//char(0) &
                //"All files (*.*)"//char(0)//"*.*"//char(0)//char(0)
      defpath = char(0) !Gives the current working directory
      L = .TRUE.
      next = .FALSE.
      DO WHILE(L)
        filename = char(0)
        L=GET_MULTIPLE_FILENAMES@(0,"Dialog Title",filename,256,filter,defpath,next)
        next = .TRUE.
        IF(L) PRINT*, trim(filename)
      END DO
      END


Compiling this, I get the "error 250: you cannot assign an expression of type REAL(KIND=1) to a variable of type LOGICAL(KIND=3)". What is wrong in the example code?

Hi Paul,

Pleased to report that this update seems to work fine for me using V7.1 and the new files downloaded. Tested on quite a range of programs and all OK so far.

Many Thanks

Bill

The problem with %bt[] has now been fixed.

The last sample that you have posted is OK for me.
I have assumed that the Fortran is free and not fixed format otherwise there are line truncation issues.

Paul,

once again many thanks! If it is possible to get the updated DLL it would be great.

My last posted problem seems to come from my very old compiler, version 5.50. In the "ins" files (windows.ins etc) there is no entry of get_multiple_filenames@, and the error message relates to this line.

I promise to buy a compiler update soon Wink

1) Get_dib_size@ with PNG works OK but get_dib_block@ does not display it.

2) %wp - the transparent text option over graphics background works OK, and without any changes in the current source code (i.e. without adding ~ you have mentioned)

Thanks Dan. Do you have a short sample for item (1)?

Paul/Wilfied

Could you clarify the exact behaviour of %dd when the associated %rd is greyed.

I would expect the %dd to have no action (variable not increment or callback activated). The whole point of greying a control is to say to the user "you cannot change this" so why provide a mechanism circumvent this?

In this context the %rd is "read only" rather than disabled. The idea is that the user is only allowed to change the value via the spin control.

Paul

I can understand your logic in the context you describe but it means that you need to put the "grey control" logic in the call back function.

A relatively easy solution (easy from a non-export viewpoint....) would be to permit the %dd to take an optional grey control

thanks
