eXpress++ build 256

Jack Duijf contributed some major changes to the way the browse presentation parameters are handled.
I feared that any reports of problems would be in this area.

You and Jack will be in Hannover, so let's go over your issues next week.

Ok, see you next week in Hanover.

Roger, regarding the colors in dcbrowse.

I think it was the case before that the colors of some of the items in the browse presentation parameters were not respected. Now with 256 they work the way you specify. I encountered this problem and before I could talk to Jack, he contacted me at your request, I found that what I thought was wrong colors were the colors for the current cursor item that I specified all along. The problem was that with versions 255 and prior they were being ignored.

When I changed the browse cursor colors to what they were actually showing before, they worked as intended. The 256 changes actually exposed the wrong colors being specified all along.

You may want to make certain this is not the case.

Cliff.

Thanks for that insight, Cliff.

Code: Select all

;//      { XBP_PP_COL_DA_HILITE_FGCLR, GRA_CLR_BLUE },       /* Cursor FG Color  */  ;
;//      { XBP_PP_COL_DA_HILITE_BGCLR, GRA_CLR_PALEGRAY},    /* Cursor BG Color  */  ;
      { XBP_PP_COL_DA_HILITE_FGCLR, GRA_CLR_WHITE },      /* Cursor FG Color  */  ;
      { XBP_PP_COL_DA_HILITE_BGCLR, GRA_CLR_BLUE},        /* Cursor BG Color  */  ;

This is how I had to change my code. My browses were always doing the cursor as White on Blue for 254 and before. You can see that the color I specified was Blue on PaleGray, but that color did not occur. I had to change it for 256 to the above because 256 was now working as intended.
