Am I Author?

I have translated the article which was written for Russian community in 2006. I did the package and sent it to ClarionMagazine. I am not sure of the translation. Maybe Dave will reject my article.

In any case, the class code, written for the article will be included in the CFC Library.

The Programming

Programming a struggle with himself. You have a some ways usually. You can choose the easy or hard way. And if you agree with easy way then you can have a problems in the future maybe. You must choose everytime. Today I choose the easy way. I work on the rebar control. I decided to implement only a small portion of functionality. I loose this fight becouse I’m tired to struggle with a windows controls.
Anyway now the toolbar looks more pretty

Clarion 7 – Release Candidate 3

Another one.

The Russian Community

I think that no one knows exactly how many people in Russia programs at Clarion. We have a mailing list. This is the main means of communication. It has approximately 300 users per year.

The main site is clarionlife.net. This is a private site, which is not profitable. Sometimes I publish news from the world of Clarion on it. The site contains a large collection of examples, classes and templates. Some peoples upload the files. This happens not so often. Site has the forum. It has about 400 registered users. But still, people love to talk in the mailing list.

Also we have the official site clarion.ru. I visited it twice a year

There are still some “old” sites that have not been updated long time ago. I think you know the reasons.

We also have several 3rdParty developers, but they all focus on the sale is not for Russia.

We have a lack of information about Clarion in our native language. Few people know about the Clarion in the world of programmers.

The Stylized Toolbar

Working on the toolbars, I have decided that it was necessary to make the toolbar with custom draw, as well as I did it with the menu. I spent about two days to learn how to do it. And I realized that now I can not do it correctly. There are too many nuances, which I still do not know. So I decided not to make a stylized toolbar. Perhaps this will be done in the future, but not now.

Rakesh Khatri reported me about a bug which has been linked to !ABCIncludeFile. The bug was fixed. Also I have added a new template in this version. This template allows you to add simple tooltips into your application without the use of hand-coding.

The Menus

You can see the different menus on the picture below.

The native C6 menu the same as Windows menu at first sight.
You know that the difference appears when you use the icons.
But these is not so important IMHO.

You can see that the native C7 menu look different then C6 menu.
The height of the items raised. It looks ugly IMHO. I don’t know how to use the
native C7 menu. I will never use. I don’t want.

OK. Now look at the stylized C7 menu. The SV presents the menu as one of the
most important feature of C7. I don’t think so. You can compare the C7 menu with
“Power Toolbar” menu or with the C7 IDE menu. They look similar but this is not the same thing.
They have a different height. The top level items are different. The stylized C7 menu
looks ugly again.

It is not so hard to draw the menu. You can see the code of styled menu in
CFCMenus.inc, CFCMenus.clw in CFC Library.

The Vulnerability

I know about the one vulnerability in clarionshop.com site. One man said me about it some years ago. The vulnerability is still there.
That’s why I registered on motleysoft.com.
Now I want to tell about this vulnerability. But I have one doubt. Can I tell this to Clarion community or I must write the letter only to clarionshop.com owners?

The Level Of Knowledge

My native language is Russian. My level of knowledge of english is not so high. That’s why I try to use a simple sentences. I can’t express the all my feelings. I only transfer the information usually. I’m sorry.

CFC Library now

I am working on implementing the windows toolbar. I thought I had already finished a few days ago. But I realized that all was not well with the implementation of toolbar customizing dialog. I do most of the work anew.
