[gfilatov]

Hi Friends,

We are pleased to announce a new build of Harbour MiniGUI Extended
Edition.

It is a regularly scheduled maintenance and bugfix release.

A setup of the ANSI build 23.01 for Borland C++ 5.8.2 is published at
the following URL:

http://hmgextended.com/files/CONTRIB/hm ... -setup.exe

There is also an extra donationware Minigui package built for the freeware
Embarcadero C++ 10.2 ‘Tokyo’ 32-bit compiler (which is included in the above
package for your convenience).

Whatsnew:

2023/01/24: HMG Extended Edition version 23.01.

* Fixed: GETBOX: GetProperty( Form, Getbox, 'PICTURE' ) call always
returns an empty value.
The bug was reported by Hans Mark on the Minigui forum.
Contributed by Grigory Filatov <gfilatov@gmail.com>
* Enhanced: The Child window may manage the 'Parent' property.
You can get this property at runtime:
- function syntax:
GetProperty ( ChildForm, 'Parent' ) --> cParent
- pseudo-OOP syntax:
ChildForm.Parent --> cParent
Requested by Mario Rossi.
Contributed by Grigory Filatov <gfilatov@gmail.com>
* Enhanced: The Image control supports now a changing of the STRETCH
property at runtime.
You can set this property with:
- function syntax:
SetProperty ( Form, Image, 'Stretch', .T.|.F. )
- pseudo-OOP syntax:
Form.Image.Stretch := .T.|.F.
It was a postponed modification.

* Modified: Revised a font management with
DEFINE FONT <font> FONTNAME <name> ... command:
- restored a previous behavior of the function GetFontList() with
the default charset parameter.
The issue was reported by Vagner Sanches.

* Updated: Synchronized Extended HMG for compatibility with Official HMG:

- TreeItemGetAllValues();
- TreeItemGetChildValues();
- TreeItemGetSiblingValues().
- GetProperty -> AllValue, ChildValue, SiblingValue.
