Hi Jimmy,
if you install IDE and choose References you will find a description of all controls, methods and so on. Very useful the external guides and tutorials.

In the folder C:\hmg.3.4.4\SAMPLES\ you will find a lot source codes. And in this forum you will find useful sources.
I'm just working on a prog with toolbar and grid, but I can't publish it here, for the personal data are real existing.The grid is already working, the buttons have yet to be filled with functions.
Regards

Robert

PS: If you are interested I could anonymize the personal data (name and city), so I could publish the dbf.

hi,

THX all for Answer

for Newbie it always the Problem "where" to search "what" as i don't know Xbase++ Parts Name is in Harbour / HMB

Code: Select all

Confirmbox() -> MsgYesNo() -> c:\hmg.3.4.4\SOURCE\h_msgbox.prg
---

about Thread i found

Code: Select all

 Hb_ThreadStart( {|| func() } )
Question : is there a "Starttime" for Thread :?:

Code: Select all

   oThread1:setStartTime( SECONDS()+1 )
   oThread1:start( {|| PostAppEvent(xbeE_Start,{0,0}) } )
---

about CPU i don't find something like "SetProcessAffinityMask" or "SMP" :?:

Code: Select all

//*-------------------   GetAffinity   --------------------
// find the current active processor (bit position)
//
function GetAffinity
  local ProcMask := 0
  local SysMask := 0
  local t := 
@kernel32:GetProcessAffinityMask(@kernel32:GetCurrentProcess(),@ProcMask,@SysMask)
return ProcMask

//*-------------------   SetAffinity   --------------------
// set the current active processor
//
function SetAffinity(nProc)
   @kernel32:SetProcessAffinityMask(@kernel32:GetCurrentProcess(),2^nProc)
return nil
---

about GRID ( c:\hmg.3.4.4\SOURCE\h_grid.prg)
is it a WC_LISTVIEW (SysListView32) :?:

i'm not sure about Syntax : does "ALIAS Test" work with ROWSOURCE "Test" ... how can i check if "PGRDD" ist working :?:

Code: Select all

   USE "SELECT * FROM "+cTable+" ;" ALIAS Test NEW VIA "pgrdd" CONNECTION nConnectionHandle
   // Check it
    ? USED()
    ? ALIAS()
    // how in harbour / HMG
    ? DBINFO( DBO_DBENAME )  // RDD Name

   DEFINE WINDOW Form_1 ;
   ....
   // hm ... why is it empty

      @ 10,10 GRID Grid_1 ;
         WIDTH 770 ;
         HEIGHT 440 ;
         HEADERS aField
         WIDTHS aWidth
         ROWSOURCE "Test"
i got the GRID with Header but no Data :o
Table have create before and i can access it with PgAdmin.

Hi Jimmy,

I see, you are trying to convert your Xbase++ codes to HMG.

Best would be, if you post whatever code you have made and we can check and suggest correction to it.
There are many ways a similar Xbase++ logic can be converted to HMG. Note, I said "logic" and not "code". There are many functions in HMG which will simplify logic and which does not exist in Xbase++. So if you try converting "code-by-code" it will be difficult for both you and us to guide.

Regards,

Anand

hi,

i have modify SMP Sample to run under harbour / HMG
i need to use

Code: Select all

libs=hbxpp
to use Xbase++ Syntax for DLL Call ... but it crash with harbour / HMG :?

Code: Select all

   rc := dllcall( "Kernel32.dll", DLL_STDCALL, "SetProcessAffinityMask",ip,nProc)
   rc := dllcall( "Kernel32.dll", DLL_STDCALL, "GetProcessAffinityMask",ip,@ProcMask,@SysMask)
i saw DLL Call with User32

Code: Select all

c:\hmg.3.4.4\HARBOUR\contrib\hbxpp\tests\dllcall.prg
 ? "MsgBox:", DllCall( "user32.dll", DLL_OSAPI, "MessageBoxA", 0, "Hello world!", "Harbour sez", hb_bitOr( MB_OKCANCEL, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_HELP ) )

c:\hb30\tests\testdyn.prg
 ? "MsgBox:", hb_dynCall( { "MessageBoxA", "user32.dll", HB_DYN_CALLCONV_STDCALL }, 0, "Hello world!", "Harbour sez", hb_bitOr( MB_OKCANCEL, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_HELP ) )
but do not know what to use with Kernel32 :?:

---

about SMPRUN
it will assign a CPU Core to App while running using a BitMask (2^n)

Code: Select all

Core 0   1
Core 1   2
Core 2   4
Core 3   8
---

have use HMG_CallDLL ( ) now an App start ... but i can not change CPU :(

THX for your Time and working Sample.

as i can see you change Constant DLL_STDCALL to DLL_OSAPI.

i have test your Sample with Xbase++ and it still run with DLL_OSAPI
so i have to check my Xbase++ Code where i used DLL_STDCALL and try DLL_OSAPI instead

while i want to learn harbour / HMG i like to ask how it look like

Code: Select all

#IFDEF __XPP__
   rc := dllcall( "Kernel32.dll", DLL_OSAPI, "GetCurrentProcess" )
#ELSE

#ENDIF

is this in *.HBC :?:

Code: Select all

libs=hbxpp
mt=yes
i do not know about harbour / HMG Multithread. can i use more than 1 x Core for harbour / HMG :?:

---

as Xbase++ can only use 1 x Core i have ASCAN() in Demo Code to validate if it is 2^n

with harbour / HMG you can try other combination of e.g.

Code: Select all

(2^1) + (2^2) + (2^3) + (2^4)
to run on 4 x CPU

SetProcessAffinityMask() is for hole App. for Thread is a SetThreadAffinityMask() API Function
https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/window ... finitymask

but it need an Pointer so i add Variable pThread

Code: Select all

   pThread := Hb_ThreadStart({|| Stress() } )
and HMG Debugger show me pThread as Pointer but no Value :?:
