 FiveWin 1.7 - PreRelease IV
=============================

* New!!!: We have already added support for Windows MAPI : Mail Services.
  See TestMail.prg for a sample. Now you may take advantage of NetWork
  mail system in Windows which it is really powerfull.

* VBXs support!!! Yes, we already manage Visual Basic VBXs files. See
  TestVbx_.prg for several samples. Probably this is the most important
  enhancement we have done lately to FiveWin!

  See documentation for a full explanation and use guides.


* There was a missing METHOD in TMultiGet Class:

  METHOD HScroll( nWParam, nLParam ) VIRTUAL

  So, MultiLine Gets were not working properly when using an
  horizontal scrollbar. Now it is ok!

  See TestMemo.prg for a full working sample,

* New Methods for TPrinter Class:

    TPrinter:SetLandscape()
    TPrinter:SetPortrait()
    TPrinter:SetCopies( nCopies )    // number of copies to generate

  to automatically select printer orientation from source code,
  without showing the DialogBox. See SAMPLES TestPrn1.prg for
  a working sample.

* Bug fixed: The new resources control system implemented in FiveWin
  had a problem that only was activated when generating a lot of
  Dialog Boxes (several hundreds). It has been fixed and now it works
  perfect!

* Enhancement: We have adapted FiveWin ListBox controls to work also
  with numeric values. This means that now you may also do:

  local nValue := 2

  REDEFINE LISTBOX nValue ITEMS { "One", "Two", "Three", "Four" } ;
     ID ... OF oDlg ...

  And nValue will keep the ListBox selected position. Remember: ListBoxes
  now are usefull for managing string and numeric variables. We plan to
  do this also to ComboBoxes.

* Enhancements: Ignacio Ortiz has been working improving Report Engine
  speed (it was already fast, but now it is... incredible!). Also he
  has done very nice improvements on drawing lines, focus control, and
  more things... Thanks Ignacio! Simply fantastic!

* Enhancements: Error.log information has been increased. Now we tell
  you all the other active tasks and their names! We keep looking for
  a way to detect if double space is working -please let us know if
  you discover it!- We want to offer a really powerfull error.log info.

* Enhancements: MDIChild windows now accept all kind of user defined
  styles. You may have MDIChilds with no maximize button, no border,
  etc... See TestMDI5.prg for a working sample.

* New: Background process management! Now FiveWin offers you the
  possibility of controlling idle periods. Don't confuse idle actions
  with timers. Idle actions get processed when _there_is_nothing_ else
  to process. Modal dialog boxes don't produce Idle periods. See
  TestIdle.prg for a working sample.

* Error.log information has been enhanced: Now we include all the
  parameters and local variables available to all active procedures
  and functions. You will find this very helpfull when trying to detect
  an error.

* ButtonBar has been enhanced. Now you can specify TOP, LEFT, RIGHT or
  BOTTOM and the ButtonBar will show at that side. Also, if you click
  the right button of the mouse on it, it will appear a popup to
  manually select the new position.
