I received 2 complaints this week that eXpress++ 1.82 (build 236) now fails when running under Windows 10.

I highly recommend that users upgrade to Xbase++ 1.9 build 355 or later to be fully compatible with Windows 10.

If that is not an acceptable alternative, then here is a workaround.

The failure is in an old dClip function named DC_ClrArr().
This is called by an initialization routine but is not used at all in GUI applications, therefore this fix should work for you.

Copy _DCCOLOR.PRG to your .\source\dclipx folder and rebuild DCLIPX.DLL by running BUILD182.BAT.

Hi Roger,

Thank you for the fix, but we are encountering an Unknown Variable error for dCCOLOR
Please kindly advise

This is a fault in Windows 10, but I don't know why because I refuse to use it.

Here is a workaround for you.

Add this to the start of your program.

PUBLIC dCCOLOR := { 0, {} }

Hi Roger,

Thank you. Works perfectly.

Regards,

Andy

Hi Roger

When running the file build182.bat I get "could not find c:\exp18\lib\dclipx.lib" and "could not find c:\exp18\lib\dclipx.exp". I ran the build182.bat from the ..\source\dclipx directory.

Thanks -Scott

I haven't worked with Xbase++ 1.8 in a very long time (over 10 years).

What version of eXpress++ are you using?

Me too. Old customer but good people. Version 1.82.294 build 09200

That is your version of Xbase++.

I need to know what version of eXpress++.
You say that my batch files don't work.
I would need to install the same version you have to figure out why.

1.82 (build 236)

Scott -

After your phone call, I promised I would give you DCLIP.EXE.
