CoderJeff has been making changes to the compiler to allow seamless integration of UDT classes that extend ZTRING/WSTRING with FB intrinsic functions.

So far, the only changes that I have needed to do to the WinFBX framework are:

Code: [Select]

#if __FB_VERSION__ < "1.07.0"
TYPE CWSTR
#else
TYPE CWSTR EXTENDS WSTRING
#endif

This makes the class compatible with the new version and older versions.

With the new version we can do:

Code: [Select]

DIM cws AS CWSTR = "Дмитрий Дмитриевич Шостакович"
AfxMsg MID(cws, 2)

instead of:

Code: [Select]

DIM cws AS CWSTR = "Дмитрий Дмитриевич Шостакович"
AfxMsg MID(**cws, 2)

Although ** is still valid and will work both with the new and the older versions.

I also have removed a wrong cast (not caught by te older versions) in the AfxBase64EncodeW and AfxBase64DecodeW functions in AfxStr.inc.

The latest builds of the compiler are available at:

BTW the new compilers have implemented the -strip and -nostrip options to remove or not local symbols. Without using -strip, the size of the .exe is bigger.

I have also changed all occurrences of BYREF AS CONST WSTRING to BYREF AS WSTRING.

Excellent, thanks Jose. I am not ready yet to upsize WinFBE to FB 1.07 but I will. I want the editor to always be using close to the latest version of FB as possible.

The main change is that you no longer will need to use ** when working with CWSTR and the new compilers. With the small conditional changes that I have made to the WinFBX classes, you can use ** with older compilers and omit ** with the new compilers. Old code that uses ** will work both with the old and the new compilers. Therefore, you don't need to change existing code.

[José Roca]

I have needed to make a small change to the CMaskedEdit control. All the other code seems to be working correctly.

[José Roca]

Modified WinFBX files.

Hello José

Many thanks for the adaptations.

[José Roca]

I have made some small modifications in the declarations to deal with constant ansi strings.
