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.

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.

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?

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.

dp_class.tpl is a template. Dan Pressnel published this template several years ago. This template is used for writing classes in the application. The template is very simple and convenient. I have added only one additional setting for all the years of usage template. This option generates a string “!ABCIncludeFile” at the beginning of inc-file. I think that I still going to use this template, despite the new C7 IDE. I express my gratitude to Dan Pressnel. Thank you very much!
The CFC Library was written using this template. You can found the dp_class.tpl in the template-folder of library.

One man asked at the sv.clarion.third_party group about Noyantis CommandBar - “What dll or other files do I need to ship to my customer?”.
My customer gets nothing on the ribbon bar.
Can you tell me what additional dll or other files I need to install on a new user’s machine so the Noyantis CommandBar works?
This is fun. The programmer does not know how to set up its program. I mentioned earlier that I like the zip-archives, not the software package. Here the programmer himself does not know about what files have been installed. This is really funny.

CFC Library is free for private use now.
This is done to ensure that any person can decide whether to require this library. You can understand the advantages and disadvantages. You can read the documentation. You can see the source code. Ultimately, you can write a program of purchases to her mom.
The openness of the library can help you decide whether to use it for their commercial development.
I have big plans for the development of library. I plan to regularly release updates. This will be a wrapper for WinAPI functions basically. Therefore, for commercial purposes library issued on an annual subscription. I think that the subscription price sufficiently low.
If you think that the updates is available in the current year are not of interest to you, You can not renew the subscription for this year. You can renew the subscription at any time.
In the future, the distribution terms for the product are subject to change.
ps
My native language is Russian. Usually I use translate.google.com.

Most 3rdParty developers create the installation files in a exe-file. The exe-file moves files into folders. It can change the red-file and register a template. Everything happens automatically. This allows you to save installation time.
I am against this method of installation.
I want to determine what folders will be installed product.
I want to know exactly which files will be installed.
This knowledge provides information that can be used when removing the product.
To register a template is not a lot of work. Thus, losing a bit of time, I get more information about the product. The whole process is under my control.
There is another reason.
3rdParty products manufactured specifically for programmers. There is a difference between programmers and users. From my point of view programmer MUST know how to unpack the archive and how to install 3rdParty product. If the programmer does not know how to do this, I’m having doubts about his competence.
