TraceIt Template v6.03 Ready for C7.1 (Templates & Libraries) 5 FEB 10
This template makes the debug, implementation and support of Clarion for Windows applicacions easy and better, allowing to easily find the conflict points with excellent results without the use of the complex debuger or the arcaic, poor and dangerous technique of the use of the MESSAGE() or SETCLIPBOARD() finctions.
Linder Setup Builder 7.1 (Install Programs) 4 FEB 10
SetupBuilder delivers an unprecedented level of ease of use without sacrificing the powerful features that even the most demanding installation projects require!
Unlike the monolithic installation technologies available today, SetupBuilder 6 has been designed from the ground up to deliver a perfect fusion of installation authoring, web deployment, configuration management, and scripting technologies.
All SetupBuilder 6 editions are based on the same award-winning installation technology; these editions are designed to accommodate every need and budget, from large, multi-national enterprise development teams and commercial software vendors, to the smallest independent software authors.
It is very important to recompile your installations with the new
Win7RC-aware build (#2581) of SetupBuilder if you have to support the latest
Win7 operating system! SetupBuilder 6.9 Build 2581 compiles Win7RC-aware
installation applications. And of course, the SetupBuilder IDE is also
Win7RC-aware now.
As promised, SetupBuilder 7 for Windows 7 RTM (and Windows Server 2008 R2
RTM) is ready to download. This will give you enough time to prepare your
Windows 7 compatible applications and installations before Windows 7 becomes
available to the mass-market of consumers.<\b>

ImageEX Ready for C7 (Templates & Libraries) 26 JAN 10
ImageEx is a graphic library that has been designed especially for use with Clarion. For speed issues it has been written in Delphi, but there's another Clarion layer in between your app and the Delphi library, so you won't get in touch with the Delphi stuff directly. Some people might dislike using non-Clarion libraries, but I bet after running the demo and seeing the amazing speed of ImageEx (especially the viewer control) this won't be a problem for you. ImageEx still supports all possible link modes (local / standalone).
ImageEx consists of three main components:
- extended image control displaying images of more than 15 file formats
(on windows AND reports!) with more than 39 extensions
- fast and flicker free zooming and panning using the viewer control
- a panoramic image viewer with user-defined, clickable hotspots
- a wrapper class for creating, loading, modifying & saving 32bit images
(24bit RGB plus 8 bit alpha channel)
- image processing functions like adjusting contrast, brightness &
intensity, gamma adjustment & color correction
- resizing, rotating, flipping and skewing images
- special effects like mosaic filter, convolution filters and
colorizations
- royalty free TWAIN scanning without ANY 3rd party files
- advanced drawing functions (line, rect, roundrect, ellipse, polygon,
pie, ...) with alpha channel support and antialiasing for smooth
results -- methods to support "stippled" lines
- Bezier method which draws bezier curves
- Roll method to scroll images
- PngSaver class to save images in PNG format
- Drawing functions accept single-precision floating point
parameters as coordinates (for use with antialiasing)
- SetFont and GetTextExtent methods for better control of text
output
- HslToRgb color conversion function
- utility functions like the PictureDialog (a file dialog with a preview
area for images), others for saving images to and loading from BLOBs
(without the need for an image control), retrieving properties from
image files, ...
- clickable hotspots (rectangles, ellipses & polygons) for the viewer
control
- screen capture functions for capturing the entire desktop, single windows
or rectangles
- improved PictureDialog
- Completely new TIFF engine, now (finally) supporting CCITT group 4 tiff
images
- support for Clarion 6 EA 1
- new ImageExPcxSaver class for saving uncompressed PCX images
RichReport Ready for C7 (Templates & Libraries) 26 JAN 10
It's a small class with surrounding templates that
allow you to print RTF text in standard Clarion reports! Instead of spending
several hundred dollars for a 3rd party text processor or report generator
you can now RTF-enable your reports with 100% pure Clarion code.
In addition to that, you can do that without writing a single line of code.
Simply put a control template onto your report and tell it where to get the
text from (can be a database column or a RTF file).
RPM v7.1.6695 (Templates & Libraries) 26 JAN 10
The libraries in the current RPM install for C7 require an recompile

RPM does Newspaper Column Reports!
ABC or Legacy for C2, C4, C5, C5.5, C6, C6.1...
SysList Ready for C7 (Templates & Libraries) 26 JAN 10
You'll know list views from the Microsoft Windows Explorer; it's the control the Explorer uses to display the
files - with large icon, small icon, list and report view. But these controls are also used in more and more
applications (Office, PcAnywhere, SQL Server, ...) and the list is strill growing! Now you can add this to your
Clarion applications in minutes! This is a small list of features offered by the SysList class and the surrounding
templates:
- displays data from Clarion queues
- clickable headers / item sorting
- drag
- and
- drop reordering of columns
- grid
- lines (in report view)
- flat scrollbars
- label
- editing
- single or multiple item selection
- checkboxes
- callback procedures for event handling
- hot
- tracking
and more...
SysTree Ready for C7 (Templates & Libraries) 26 JAN 10
Give the real Windows "Look & Feel" to Clarion applications! - SysTree is the 9th product in our series of common control wrapper classes, taking you another step closer to that Windows look and feel.
Clarion's built-in listbox works fine for most cases. But take a closer look, it's quite obvious that this control is no longer state of the art. If you want to give your users the controls they know from many other applications (including the Windows Explorer, Outlook Express, ...), SysTree is what you need!
The main part of SysTree is a wrapper class for the tree-view common control. The wrapper is written in 100% pure Clarion code. It allows you to use tree-view controls, introduced by Microsoft with Windows 95, in your Clarion applications! This powerful class implements over 80 methods (17 of which are virtual event handlers), giving you full control over all the styles, settings and events without struggling in the depths of api programming.
The SysTree templates make the class easy to use. You can add a tree-view control to your application in less than a minute, without writing a single line of code (the items would still have to be added, of course - an empty control doesn't really attract users ;-)
There's even more: Included in SysTree is another control template called SysDirTree. As you might guess from the name, it's a tree-view control displaying file system folders! You can have your applications display an Explorer-like view of the local drives on your computer, using the system icons. Again, no hand written code is necessary. And since the SysDirTree class is derived from the SysTree class, all the above mentioned options are available for SysDirTree, too!
