Re: We are back!!!

On the one hand, this is certainly great news, even if there were other ways to maintain the community.
On the other hand, the responsibility you honorably feel for us shouldn't prevent you from enjoying your well-deserved retirement.

But. Great to have it back. :)

Re: Display a barcode on the screen

BTW, Xbase++ 2.0 contains an asset to create, draw and print 2D-barcodes like QR and DataMatrix.

Re: Display a barcode on the screen

There are at least three ways to do this: 1. Use a barcode font. Barcode fonts are available for some simple barcodes like "Code 39". There are no barcode fonts for more complex barcodes or 2D-barcodes like DataMatrix or QR. 2. Create an image using a tool like "zint" (open source) and load the imag...

Re: Advantage Database Server For Testing

Use arrays of DataObjects for temporary table data (i.e. with scatter/gather). This is the most elegant, the fastest and easiest way, and if you change structures of tables or so, the changes in your code are minimal.

Re: Advantage Database Server For Testing

I agree with Slavko - temporary arrays are much better than temporary tables, but Diego was talking about files in general, which means TXT or binary stuff, if I guess correctly. We created a "binary" table for this and store temporary files, TXT, but also XPF and all the other stuff (pictures, some...

Re: New library PowerPar for parallel programming

No reason to be upset or to get angry. I'm quite sure I know at least a little about parallel processing/programming and computing big data in synchronized threads, and I'm quite sure I'm not the only one here. I'm also sure I'm not the only one who understood that your PowerPar library is good for ...

Re: New library PowerPar for parallel programming

If you use the proposed Alaska method, it may occur that multiple of your processes run on the same CPU, and you didn't want that initially. But this is a task without a solution anyway. Load-balancing and predictions of utilization on an OS like Windows never work efficiently, since they are based...

Re: How to change currency symbol in windows

Hi, Joe.

The currency symbol is set at HKCU\Control Panel\International -> "sCurrency". Just write a different symbol to the reg variable, done. You know how to use DC_RegWrite() for this?

If you want to set it just for a session, "SetLocalInfoA" (KERNEL32.DLL) is the API-function to use.
