10 Tips for Writing High-Performance Web Applications (Tips) 3 JAN 05
Writing a Web application with ASP.NET is unbelievably easy. So easy, many developers don't take the time to structure their applications for great performance. In this article, I'm going to present 10 tips for writing high-performance Web apps. I'm not limiting my comments to ASP.NET applications because they are just one subset of Web applications. This article won't be the definitive guide for performance-tuning Web applications—an entire book could easily be devoted to that. Instead, think of this as a good place to start.

A Better DosFileLookup (Clarion Magazine) 16 MAY 05
When some standard Clarion functionality doesn't meet your need, what do you do? First, you embed some code. Then, when you need that code elsewhere, you start thinking about how to avoid duplicating the embeds. As Dave Harms shows, often the easiest solution is to create a custom, derived ABC class, and tell the templates to use your class instead of the ABC original.

A Class For Printing Addresses (Clarion Magazine) 3 OCT 02
Printing street addresses on reports can be a pain - missing field data can make a good report ugly in a hurry. One way around this is to use a memo for addresses, but then you still have to format sometimes wildly different address data. Here's a small class that makes short work of address formatting.
A Class For The ASCIIng (Clarion Magazine) 8 NOV 02
ASCII files are commonplace in programming, but their use in Clarion is generally more complicated than in other languages because Clarion can only do ASCII file I/O via an ASCII file driver declared file. Declaring such a file can become quite a nuisance, and breaks Konrad Byers' golden rule of never having to program the same thing twice. Enter the any ASCII file class.

A Dozen Techniques to Improve Your Software Online Help (Web Sites) 1 DEC 05
There are several main reasons why putting your software manual on-line is necessary. It makes your web-site attractive for search engine crawlers and therefore brings you targeted traffic from Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and other search engines. A good online manual makes your product serious and credible. Moreover, if a user faces difficulty using your software and asks for technical support, you may easily resolve the issue by referring that user to a certain page of your online help. Simply give the page's URL. With just one click the user will see screenshots and explanations which will help them to settle the case.

Anyone can download the entire podcast; subscribers have the option of downloading individual tracks. All of the changes needed to support the podcast mean our publication schedule has been pushed back a little. Also please note that Clarion Magazine's subscription rates will be going up Dec 1, so if you're thinking of subscribing or renewing, now is the time!

A New Paradigm for Successful Acquisition of Information Systems 12 JUL 00
Abstract: Most information systems projects are over budget, under specified, delivered late, and fail to meet
organizational expectations. A key reason for these characterizations is that during the information systems
development, requirements both change and are being introduced. This paper presents a strategy whereby full
development is started only after a series of realistic code-generator produced prototypes are created through
mission-based database design techniques. The quickly accomplished prototypes are demonstrated to key
user groups, and are iterated until they truly reflect a quiesced set of valid and accurate requirements.
Production class systems created through CASE, metadata repositories and code generators will then be
on-budget, correctly specified, timely, and will meet organization expectations.

A Tree In A Page Loaded Browse (Clarion Magazine) 9 JUN 03
Clarion has a template for building a tree list control (RelTree). One of the disadvantages of this control is that the maximum tree level is fixed by the number of files you use in it.

An Introduction to CVS and WinCVS (Clarion Magazine) 14 FEB 05
Version control software has long been popular with software developers, and particularly development teams, because it offers a centralized repository for source code, and tracks and manages changes to that source code. But even if you're a software developer working on your own, version control software can be immensely useful, and not just for software, but for any file that changes over time. In this two part series, Nardus Swanevelder shows how to install and configure CVS and WinCVS, two popular and freely available open source products.

An Overview of the IP Driver, Part 1 (Clarion Magazine) 31 JAN 05
The IP driver was announced by SoftVelocity quite some time ago, and quickly generated a lot of interest in the Clarion community , because it provided a way of connection a Clarion application to any database, using just an IP, or Internet Protocol, connection. But many questions still remained. Bruce Johnson provides some insight into the design and best use of the IP driver.
An Overview of the IP Driver, Part 2 (Clarion Magazine) 31 JAN 05
In this second part of two parts, Bruce Johnson looks at the architecture of the IP driver, as well as security and cost.

The ARD Report Writer was designed to make designing reports in
Clarion for Windows easier for the end-user as well as the developer. The

his end-users to change the reports or add new designs. This way, the
developer can provide standard reports with his program, and the user can
add or change the report designes if they have need for it. The developer
determines which data fields are available for individual reports, so the
end-user doesn't have access to add other fields to the report, than it was
orignially designed for.

BASE64 Encoding Source use Within a Clarion Application (Templates & Libraries) 29 JAN 09
The size of the encoded string will be longer than the original. The size will now be int( ( OrigLen +8 +2) / 3 ) * 4
The " + 8" there is the extra bytes added by JPWBlowfish method Encode1024.
For a string of 20 characters whether you use EncodeHex or the combination of Encode1024 and Base64 you will end up with an encoded string of the same length (40 characters). The combination of Encode1024 and Base64 becomes more efficient once you are working with the original data of 30 chars or more.
I (John Griffiths) have often used the Blowfish Encryption class (JPWBlowfish) published by Gary James/Andy Ireland.
Blowfish encryption creates an encoded string that will invariably contain non-ascii characters. This is a problem when using ODBC to write (and read) to a SQL database. This is due to the inclusion of illegal characters.

Beginning SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Part 1 (Tips) 7 OCT 06
If ever there was job for "real" developers to shuffle to their juniors, it is building reports. It's not real development anyway; it's more like glorified formatting. Besides, the esoteric tools that you use to build reports try to provide an abstraction layer, which often prevents you from having any real control over the report. I've heard all these arguments before. If this sounds like a conversation you've had by the water cooler, then I invite you to take a closer look at SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS).

In Part 1 of this article, we looked at the basics of SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (SSRS). We built one report with the Report Wizard, and one report using the Report Designer. In Part 2, we are going to look in more depth at the features that you can use everyday as an SSRS developer.
We will investigate:

Beyond Ada: The First Paranoid Programming Language (Humor) (Web Sites) 28 DEC 05
Stunned at the bulk of Ada, which a few of us braver souls were teaching ourselves strictly against the wishes of the Pascal-loving Department, the concept of a language so huge and awful that it was utterly impossible to write a meaningful program, and with such bizarre constructs that nobody would want to use it, evolved. And all before Ada 9X escaped into the real world.

Bitsom Technologies (Utilities) 21 FEB 04
PECompact - Compress and protect win32 executables. PECompact is a well known executable compressor that is the most configurable on the market. It works by compressing the executable and installing a symbiote that decompresses and reconstructs the executable at runtime in memory with extremely low latency. By compressing your portable executable, it is inherently protected against reverse engineering, may load faster from disks and networks, and has a smaller physical size.
SetCsum - Console mode application to set the checksum in the header of a win32 portable executable (exe, dll, etc..). Free
SetSubSys - Console mode application to set the subsystem (character [console], windows [GUI], etc..) of win32 portable executables. Free
TrimPE - Trims portable executable files by optimizing their structure (realigning to minimum file alignment), stripping debug information, overlays, and relocations. No compression or code additions are performed. This is a console mode application and supports wildcards and directory recursion. Free
Anti-Windows Messenger - This small freeware application terminates Windows Messenger whenever it is launched. This app is for Windows2000/XP only. Free
DriverSpyNt - View I/O Request Packets (IRPs) sent to device drivers. This is an excellent tool for debugging device drivers or reverse engineering device driver interfaces.
MakeService - Console mode application that allows any program to be run as an NT system service. Free
MoveLater - Console mode application to set copy, rename, or delete operations to occur at the next system boot. It can also enumerate pending delayed file operations. Works with all win32 flavors. Visual C++ source code included! Free
Outlook Express Hotmail Ad Killer - This application kills the annoying ad window in Outlook Express's hotmail integration. Free
NT Driver Dispatch Dumper - This utility was written several years ago while exploring NT device drivers. It displays the dispatch table of device drivers. The dispatch table is the table of entry points for various requests.
Portable Executable Compressor/Bundler Benchmarker - This utility, which includes C++ source, times the decompression or reconstruction time of executable compressors, bundlers, or other portable executable tools which attach themselves to a host executable. It works by timing the interval between the process creation and the instruction pointer reaching the host executable's original entry point. We use this to keep our software optimal.
Process Supervisor NE - Process Supervisor automatically manages running processes using a rule based approach. It can automatically restrain processes hogging all the CPU usage, set applications to always run at specific priorities, prevent certain applications from running, and much more. This is a one of a kind application, a first from Bitsum Technologies.
PWShow - PWShow (PasswordShow) displays the characters being asterisks in password fields of many applications. It works with all win32 flavors and is completely free.
WfpAdmin - Dynamically disable Windows File Protection so that Windows 2000 and XP system files can be replaced. This is the only utility on the market that can programmatically temporarily disable Windows File Protection (a.k.a. System File Checker, SFC).
Need a DLL to dynamically disable WFP on folders so that your installer can replace system files?
Asmvars - This is a nifty utility that scans assembly language projects for unreferenced variables, a feature missing from assemblers. Free
Bit I/O C++ Classes - These two C++ classes, bitin and bitout, facilitate bit input and output. They are great for compression or encryption algorithms, or any other code that requires input and output on a bit scale. They are free for use after contacting us to let us know you are using them. Free
Boyer-Moore String Search Algorithm - This high-performance string search algorithm includes assembly language source and an easy to use DLL. It includes a binary search function in addition to case sensitive and insensitive string searches. Speed up your string and phrase searches substantially using this DLL. Free
LZSS Implementation in C++ - This is a very simple implementation of the LZSS compression algorithm written in C++. I wrote this years ago and it is poorly formatted and implemented, but is a good example and may be useful for someone. Free
JCALG1 - High performance compression library. Intended for extremely good compression ratio and very rapid decompression with low memory overhead. Used by PECompact. Written in x86 32-bit assembly language, the full source code is included. The compression ratio is generally better than Zip's Deflate and other common compression algorithms. Included is a DLL and libraries for easy use in your own projects. For more information and compression results of the canterbury corpus, click here. Free
Disabling Windows File Protection in Windows 2000 and Windows XP - This article explains the latest information about disabling Windows File Protection and clears up some common myths.
The Truth About Windows Memory Optimizers, Boosters, Cleaners, and Washers - This article is a non-technical overview of virtual memory and how these memory optimizers work.
Undocumented Encrypted File System APIs - This article documents a few undocumented EFS APIs to read and write encrypted files in their raw unencrypted form.
PEBundle - Combine an application and the files it depends on into a seamless binary. Modules can even be downloaded from the interenet at runtime. There are numerous uses for this technology, including reduction of "DLL Hell" problems, bundling a script with its interpreter, protection from reverse engineering, and much more. Available in English, Russian, and German.

BK ReplaceEm 11 DEC 00
Welcome to the wonderful world of BK ReplaceEm, your premiere-quality, freeware string-replacing utility for
Windows 95/98/NT. At its core, BK ReplaceEm is essentially a text search-and-replace program. However,
unlike the search-replace functionality of a standard text editor, BK ReplaceEm is designed to operate on
multiple files at once. And you need not only perform one search-replace operation per file -- you can setup a
list of operations to perform. If different groups of files need to have different operations performed on them, this
is no problem either. You can also specify a backup file for each file processed just incase the replace
operation didn’t do exactly what you wanted.

Book Review: Inside COM (Clarion Magazine) 6 FEB 04
Although Clarion 6 includes greatly expanded COM support, documentation on just how to use COM with Clarion is sparse, to say the least.

Book Review: Programming PHP (Clarion Magazine) 24 JAN 03
PHP, an open source scripting language, has become hugely popular for web site development.

Book Review: SQL Tuning (Clarion Magazine) 16 APR 04
Among Clarion developers SQL databases continue to grow in popularity. It's easy to see why - SQL offers vastly increased capabilities over flat file databases. But with power comes complexity, and with complexity comes the possibility that your SQL queries may not be running as quickly as they could. Tuning SQL statements often seems more black art than science, but in this book Dan Tow introduces a simple and effective methodology, and applies it to a variety of common problems.

C7 Goes Out To CSP Subscribers On Sept 4 (Article) (Clarion Magazine) 29 AUG 07
Core Subscription Program (CSP) subscribers on Tuesday, Sept 4, 2007. From Bob Z's blog entry it appears this release will include the Dictionary Editor and the new Dictionary Diagram tool, with the AppGen to follow at a later date. As alpha participants have found, it's relatively easy to create C7 versions of existing C6 apps even without the AppGen, although maintenance has to be done in C6. Source code apps can already be maintained entirely in C7. Runtime library enhancements in C7 include Unicode and ClearType support, tabbed MDI windows, XP styles, new sheet/tab styles, and encryption support in the Topspeed driver. The alpha includes C6 template updates to conditionally support C7 features when the code is compiled with the C7 compiler. Bob has also posted blog entries showing details of the Dictionary Editor and the Data Diagram tool. ]]>

Calling By Address, STARTing By Address (Clarion Magazine) 16 NOV 01
What would you do if someone gave you a project that involved either calling or STARTing a procedure in a DLL which was loaded dynamically at runtime, with some procedures using the Pascal calling convention, some the C calling convention, and even one procedure with an MDI window that needed to be started on its own thread? If you're Jim Kane, you write a class that handles all of this. Part 1 of 2.

Capesoft GPFReporter v2.23 (Templates & Libraries) 15 JUL 09
Sound too good to be true? Well, yeah, unfortunately, the only down side is that it only works on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Programs containing GPFReporter will however run normally on other versions of Windows.
GPFReporter supports Clarion 5 and up, Legacy and ABC, including Multi-DLL.
We all have the same frustating feeling when clients report a GPF... especially those inconsistant, difficult to reproduce ones! Well, CapeSoft now has a quick and simple solution to help you track down the problem. GPFReporter allows you to trap program "illegal operations" and offers the user the opportunity to email a short report to the developer detailing the illegal operation. GPFReporter identifies the line number in your application source code where the illegal operation occurred , and reveals the chain of procedure calls which preceded the illegal operation. GPFReporter requires HyperActive and WinEvent, which by the way, you qualify for a 15% discount on when you buy GPFReporter.

But more importantly than just the ability, it also provides a powerful template interface which allows you to graph data directly out of your files, queues or memory.
It also features complete control over the look of your graph, from the axis settings, to the graph itself, even the legend. You control the colors, the fonts, the positioning, basically everything. Of course having control is nice, but only if you don't have to do much, so we've also included lots of default styles to choose from.

Capesoft TabTree (Templates & Libraries) 10 SEP 09
This approach is especially useful on windows where the sheet control contains many tabs, so many that the sheet control "overflows". It's also very useful on windows where you have Sheet Controls on another tab. By presenting the tab list as a tree, the layout of the window becomes a lot simpler.
TabTree allows you to add a Sheet-Management control to a window. It creates a list of all the tabs in a list box. You can then navigate between tabs using either the keyboard or mouse and the list itself.
CapeSoft Tearoff 1.1 Ready for 6.3 (Templates & Libraries) 19 JAN 06
Here's a small cheap template that adds a simple feature to your Apps. It allows you to have a TearOff

Some of the sessions will be longer and more technical, some will be short, depending on the nature of the product. We want to send programmers away knowing what is possible, and how to achieve it.
The exact program may differ from place to place depending on the level of training required, and the interest from the participants. Sure we want to sell you stuff, so we'll be demoing some of our newer, and more popular products, but we also want to make you as productive as possible with the tools you already have. So bring your credit card, and your laptop.

Census Data from 1999 (Web Sites) 29 MAY 07
Because the Census Bureau no longer tabulates decennial data by U.S. Postal Service ZIP Codes, there will be no updated versions of this file. Try contacting the U.S. Postal Service.
Since this is not a formal product, we do not accept corrections or updates from the public. The only corrections that we can accept to the ZIP Code information in our internal data base is through our various cooperative programs with the U.S. Postal Service.
The vintage of the ZIP Codes contained in the 1999 ZIP Code file is November 1999. The compressed file is 1.27 MB. It contains the following: the ZIP Code file in dBase format, and a Word document that provides a short description of the file, and it's structure. When decompressed, the .dbf file is 3.13 MB. Download ZIP1999.ZIP
This file is a byproduct of a U.S. Census Bureau internal operation. It was not developed as a formal product. However, the Census Bureau has made the 1999 ZIP Code file available to the public as is.

ClaColor - Free (Utilities) 25 AUG 06
ClaColor is a small utility program that converts HTML colors (like you
would get from a ColorPicker program (such as ColorImpact) into colors that
you can use in Clarion.
ClaColor makes it easy for you to type or paste in a HEX color code, then
it is converted to a LONG in Clarion's color format. Next a sample shape
is colored with the converted value so you can see the results immediately.
Then all you have to do is copy the Clarion color value and use it in your
application.
This can be a very useful tool when you are working with setting matching
colors for 3rd party tools such as XPTaskpanel or simply in matching some
external color scheme that you like. Just paste the value from the
clipboard into the control color field and Clarion will either use it as it
is - or convert it back to a Clarion hex value as needed.
For those that are not aware of it, normal Windows colors are stored as a
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) value - while Clarion stores them in BGR (Blue,
Green Red) format.
We (Charles Edmonds) have a new FREE utility program for you to download.

Clarion - ASP Videos and Info (Tips) 14 JUN 02
I've done some ASP programming, and it was pretty cool, but I thought, "This would be really great with templates and the dictionary!" (Torby)
SoftVelocity's Clarion/ASP templates generate Active Server Pages (ASP) web applications which provide query, navigation, and editing procedures for client/server databases over the web, increasing the productivity of web designers and enabling business application developers to easily “translate” behaviors from line of business desktop applications to the web. The generated pages integrate into existing sites both in looks and via links to and from existing pages of the site. The code produced additionally includes important features necessary for public and high volume sites such as the ability to view only the parts of a database “owned” by an individual user. The resulting applications are highly reliable, containing sophisticated error checking, yet tight and very scalable.

Clarion 6 on Vista and Clarion Version Detection for 3rd Party Products (Utilities) 9 AUG 07
As you probably know, the Windows Vista operating system provides a new
security feature named User Account Control (UAC). A Vista-aware installer
is required in order to correctly install your installations on Vista. The
same is true for Windows "Longhorn" (beta).
Even if your 3rd party vendor provides a Vista-aware installer, it's not
possible to correctly auto-detect the installed Clarion version.
The original Clarion 6 installer is unable to write to the win.ini file on
Windows Vista (or Windows "Longhorn") because this action requires
administration execution level privileges.
We (Lindersoft) have developed a small free "Clarion 6 Vista Installation Fix" installer
compiled with SetupBuilder 6.5.

Clarion and an Mp3 OCX (Templates & Libraries) 2 FEB 04
Clarion is able to interface with OCX components from the Visual Basic world; however, the integration process is a little painful and not very well documented. While I was writing a software program for my home MP3 music server, I learned the hard way how to incorporate OCX components with Clarion 6.0. In return for the many (MANY) times that fellow Clarion programmers have saved me whilst knee-deep in a project, I decided to make this source code freely available to help other Clarion programmers work with MP3 and OCX files.

Clarion FreeImage - Related projects (Templates & Libraries) 14 NOV 07
This example contains three classes. A base class that wraps the functionality of EzTwain Classic DLL, a derived class to scan into a Clarion FreeImage control, and a derived class to scan into a stock Clarion image control. There are two example projects, one illustrates how to use the FreeImage control and the other shows the use of the Clarion Image control. There's a read me file included in the archive with basic instructions.
EzTwain Classic is kindly supplied by the folks at dosadi.com.
Example of how to enumerate the displays on a multi-monitor system. This is a hand coded example that illustrates how to call the EnumDisplayMonitors and GetMonitorInfo Windows API Functions.
Note: That these functions are not available on Windows 95 or Nt 3 and 4.
Have you ever wanted vertical progress bars? How about using progress bars and icon's on the status bar? These two classes wrap the progress bar and status bar common controls. These are the classes used in Capesoft's FeMail Clarion accessory. Both classes are supplied as source code. The archive includes two test projects. One illustrates the use of the progress bar class, the other shows how to use the status bar class.
Use the Clarion FreeImage Project libraries to add alpha blended owner drawn buttons to your Clarion program. These buttons allow you to specify separate images for 4 states (normal, hot (mouse over), selected, and disabled). Only the normal state button is required all other button state images are created from the normal state for you. The buttons support all the features of a standard button control. They are standard button controls.
The really cool thing about these buttons is they allow you to make a button of any shape. You supply an image in a file format that supports alpha transparency, I suggest png, and the classy buttons class takes care of making any part of the image that's completely transparent part of the background. Areas that are semi-transparent are blended with the background.
Have you ever wanted to have smooth scrolling text displayed in an about box, or a list of items that scrolls continuously. Use your imagination for how to put this little control to use. In the spirit of the Clarion FreeImage Project this control is also free. It makes use of some of the classes used in the Clarion FreeImage Project and is dependent on it being installed first.
Clarion FreeImage Project v3.12 (Templates & Libraries) 16 APR 09
Built on the base class is an image control that you can use on your windows like the Clarion image control. It supports flicker free, resampled zooming and scrolling. The image control is 100% Clarion source code. Since you have the source code, you can recompile it as new versions of Clarion are released.
This release of the Clarion FreeImage Project adds support for version
3.10.0 of the FreeImage library. It adds support for reading and writing
JPEG-2000 File Format (*.JP2) and JPEG-2000 codestream (*.J2K, *.J2C)
images, ILM piz-based wavelet format OpenEXR files, and fixes a number of
issues. Please see freeimage.sourceforge.net for a complete change list.
You must download the new FreeImage.DLL from
http://freeimage.sourceforge.net for use with this release.
The Clarion FreeImage Project is a set of classes and a template that implement the FreeImage library in Clarion 5.5 and 6.x. FreeImage is an open source raster image processing library. The base class wraps the FreeImage DLL and includes methods to load, save, transform, rescale, create thumbnails, color correct, change bit depth, alpha blend and more. You can contribute to the project by helping with any of the tasks listed on What's Next?.

Cobian Backup is not an usual backup application: it only copies your files and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, creating a security copy as a result. So Cobian Backup can be better described as a "Scheduler for security copies".
Cobian Backup supports several methods of compression and strong encryption.

Dealing with complexity is one of the biggest challenges of programming. There is a great need for tools that help us to better understand and manage software complexity. Such tools would not only help create better code, but would also increase software development productivity. Code generators are tools that generate complex code from a simpler model. Code generators are therefore an ideal candidate for helping cope with software complexity.

ComForMark Templates (Web Sites) 10 JUN 04
The standard ABC templates throw up a MESSAGE which says 'There were no records found' and the application grinds to a halt until someone presses the OK button on the message window!
These templates give the developer the options to...
For instance...
A template generates an SQL database script (MS SQL or Pervasive 2000) for one, or more, TPS files from your dictionary.
A template generates a 32Bit project to convert one or more files in one hit, rather than the single file stepwise fashion provided with Clarion. All source code is included so that you may modify the templates to suit your own needs.
This template was originally written to solve a problem faced by the illustrious President of the SCUG, John Thorley.
His problem arose when he needed to place 18 text controls on a Form procedure and he needed a way to let users know how much of each text box had been filled.
The first solution was a template which created a progess bar beside each text control!
Now, the challenge! How to improve it? Can options be added to reposition the progress bar? What about alternate colors? Can it be made into a class?
All solutions/improvements should be emailed to Geoff Bomford who will present them at the monthly SCUG meetings - first Wednesday of each month. Contributors will be acknowledged at the meeting and toasted with a glass of local ale!

Compiled Reports From Report Writer (Clarion Magazine) 2 APR 04
As far as Henry Plotkin is concerned, the best thing about Clarion Report Writer is the ability to set up the finished page without having to adjust the position of each individual band. The next best thing about Report Writer is that report testing is much faster. It does not require a compile-link cycle. It does not require minimizing Clarion, starting the application and navigating to the report. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to design reports in Report Writer, and then just copy them into a Clarion report procedure? Actually, it can be done, and fairly easily.

Configuring Opportunistic Locking in Windows (Tips) 6 SEP 06
By default, opportunistic locking is enabled for server message block (SMB) clients that run one of the Windows operating systems that is listed at the beginning of this article. Opportunistic locking allows clients to lock files and locally cache information without the risk of another user changing the file. This increases performance for many file operations but may decrease performance in other operations because the server that grants the opportunistic lock must manage the breaking of that lock when another user requests access to the file.
Configuring opportunistic locking in Windows (Tips) 21 MAY 07
By default, opportunistic locking is enabled for server message block (SMB) clients that run one of the Windows operating systems that is listed in the "Applies to" section. Opportunistic locking lets clients lock files and locally cache information without the risk of another user changing the file.

A customer's request to save printer bin selections sent Jim Gambon off on an exploration of the printer DevMode structure. In this two part series Jim explains how to create a 16/32 bit DevMode that really works, and how to use it to get full control of your printers. Part 2.
ControlMonitor (Templates & Libraries) 14 MAY 03
The need for this class came about as the result of a problem I had
involving a image editor which needed to be updated whenever data on one of
any of over a hundred controls was changed. Even though I had the actual
update code in a routine, I did NOT want to have to place calls to the
routine in all those different control embed points. Then there was also
the problem that the update routine needed to be called whenever the other
code in the program changed the data as well.
Support was added for the Sysinternals DebugView program so that a
programmer could view output as the class was working without relying on
STOP, HALT or MESSAGE statements (which are known to interfere with the code
processing ).
This class will monitor ALL the controls and data on a window and execute
code whenever ANY of the data is changed. What is significant about this is
that you only have to put your code at a single embed point (instead of on
each control).

Converting TPS Files To A New Layout (Clarion Magazine) 25 FEB 05
No matter how hard you plan your database design; sooner or later you will want to change the layout of your application's TPS data files. Clarion has a mechanism for converting files in the dictionary editor, but it doesn't work on files that contain BLOBs or arrays. It also doesn't help if your application is installed in multiple sites, where the Clarion dictionary editor is not available. If you make changes to the file's structure and then distribute your application, your end users will get that dreaded error 47. That is, unless you do what Abe Jimenez does.

Credit Card Number Formats 12 DEC 01
This document outlines procedures and algorithms for Verifying the accuracy and validity of credit card numbers. Most credit card numbers are encoded with a "Check Digit". A check digit is a digit added to a number (either at the end or the beginning) that validates the authenticity of the number. A simple algorithm is applied to the other digits of the number which yields the check digit. By running the algorithm, and comparing the check digit you get from the algorithm with the check digit encoded with the credit card number, you can verify that you have correctly read all of the digits and that they make a valid combination.

Custom Queue Sorting (Clarion Magazine) 24 JUL 02
Clarion queues have two basic sorting methods built in - numeric, and alphabetical. But there are times when neither of those will suffice. Gordon Smith shows how to implement a custom queue sorting procedure.
Custom Queue Sorting, Part 1 (Clarion Magazine) 9 AUG 10
The Clarion Magazine office will be closed through Tuesday, August 10. We'll be back on Wednesday. Meanwhile, take a look at our updated roadmap to Clarion development! It's not quite done yet (still a few hundred articles to slot into place, and some corrections to be made), but it'll give you a good idea of the scope of ClarionMag's content. And be sure to read the instructions on how to create your own customized view of the roadmap!
Custom Queue Sorting, Part 2 (Clarion Magazine) 7 SEP 10
Clarion 5 introduced the ability to sort queues with a function call. But why would you want to do that? Simon Kemp explains not just why, but how, with a class and an easy to use template. Part 1 of 3.
Custom Queue Sorting, Part 3 (Clarion Magazine) 17 AUG 10
Clarion 6 introduced the ability to sort queues with a function call. In this second of three parts Simon Kemp goes over his sorting class and the accompanying template.

CW Barcode Toolkit 20 JUN 00
You should run, not walk, to the nearest computer and send an email to
Maurice Pilotte (maurice@worldpath.net). He's got the best CW barcode
toolkit around. I'm using his Postnet and i2of5 barcodes in our software
developed for USCertifiedLetters.com.
CW Flex 26 AUG 97
With the cooperation of TopSpeed Corporation I am developing a DataFlex driver for
Clarion for Windows. The driver is currently in a limited beta test with a couple of
bugs remaining before the release candidate is ready. Once the driver is completed, it
will be announced in the Clarion newsgroup (comp.lang.clarion) and on the
CompuServe forum. If you would like additional information about the driver or
ordering information, please fill out this form. You can also call (888) 372-1700 or
(801) 374-9633 for additional information.

CW Wall Chart - a visual procedure map of the WindowManager Class (Tips) 2 MAY 05
It's a visual map of the ABC class WindowManager. Once you get the hang of how ABC works it's very easy. As 40% of the poupulation respond quicker to visual data, I thought you might like this.
It's cheap and cheerful, but it does demonstrate the logical, top down flow of an ABC prodecure and even suggests some places to codes or check things (not complete, maybe next version). The idea is to give an overview of the main functions/purpose - always check the help and the .CLW source files for a better understanding.
I thought this wall chart may come in handy for developers (existing and new to abc).

CWCM Compile Manager 11 SEP 00
Has a feature to shut down and restart CW for your REALLY big apps. Makes .prj files. Updated Sept 2000.
In case you make changes on the source, please send
your changes with a short comment back to schoeffler@ralfs.de !!
The CWCM Compile Manager is now freeware!! (binary and APP)
CWEdit 2000 (Utilities) 4 JUL 02
Here is a plain and simple Clarion Source Code editor that I made recently to find out how difficult it would be to
make a decent editor for Clarion. Unfortunately I lost my interest to this editor when the project was about 80%
completed (means: only the "bells and whistles" are missing and some minor bugs may still lurk there as well),
so I never finished it the way I originally wanted to.
CWIC Web hosts your CWIC applications 9 FEB 00
CwKeys (Free) 19 APR 01
CwKeys lets you view and / or change the keyboard shortcuts simply by pressing the desired key combination!
This works for both Clarion5 and Clarion5.5. Up to two shortcuts per function are supported.
If you've ever taken a look at the C5EDT.INI or C55EDT.INI files in your CLARION\BIN directory, you might have
seen that the keyboard shortcuts are fully configurable (nice job, SV!). If you've taken a closer look you might
also have seen that there are functions that are not accessible via the editor menu (I don't know if these are
even undocumented, at least I couldn't find them documented anywhere).
CWPlus v3.02 (Utilities) 9 MAY 05
Mistake-proof work!
CWPlus will never make a mistake when you use it to paste a needed identifier into your program body while the identifier itself is easy to pick up from a suggested list. Now you can give longer and more informative names to the variables since you can still easily paste these into the text. CWPlus will attend a complex identifier name entry. Just in case you've lost connection with the CWPlus window in the process, occasionally you may enter a wrong name but not to worry - simply delete the wrong character with the Backspace button and the connection re-establishes!
CWPlus is the auxiliary integrated tool for Clarion for Windows IDE and allows to simplify manual coding essentially. Now it appears in the CW Editor toolbar and has options for formatting code and data embeds. CWPlus realizes analogues of the most important elements of Microsoft IntelliSense technology as applied to Clarion, such as:
Any programmer is expected to memorize a lot of information about his application: how a certain procedure is called, all the numerous names, labels, identifiers. Instead of concentrating on the task, you have to keep on remembering all these. Enough of this! Now you have a reliable assistant to remember all this routine information for you. He will prompt you the needed information at any time and he will easily handle an object with many enclosed properties, as well as suggest a procedure prototype to you or show you a variable type just at the pointing of a mouse cursor.
cwScript (Templates & Libraries) 26 AUG 06
cwScript is NOT a template, but an ActiveX OCX Control written especially for Clarion. What's the difference? An ActiveX control is a self contained server program that executes commands directly from Clarion. A template is Clarion's way of generating code based on a set of rules. With an ActiveX control there are no hidden lines of code, you determine exactly how your program operates.

Dan Pressnell's Better SQL and Better OOP series (Tips) 14 MAR 06
BetterSQLandOOPforC55andC6.zip
This works for C55 and C6
Dan Pressnell has uploaded install files for his popular Better SQL

the file now from Icetips. Look for
Dan Pressnell's class (Tips) 7 MAR 06
Dan has also uploaded a small class which allows Clarion's IDE to be
used to create classes, so that the class source stays in the app
tree, and is generated along with the rest of the app. Get it at Icetips.
Dan Pressnell's MySQL Browse for Legacy (Templates & Libraries) 2 DEC 02
There is another thing to look out for with the legacy template. If you
have a page loaded browse, and call a procedure that retrieves records on
the same table, you MUST have a window open in that other procedure before
the retrieval, or that procedure will have its result set incorrectly
limited. I might be able to fix this in the future, but it's difficult
given the lack of adequate embed points in Clarion's legacy browse template.
I've created a template that will turn Legacy template browses for MySQL
into true page loaded browses. I've added it to the package that does page
loaded ABC browses.
There is one important thing that this template (and the ABC class) won't do
correctly. If you use "ValidateRecord" code to to filter records, your list
box won't be filled. There is no way to fix that, so avoid that technique.
Dan Pressnell's SQL examples (Tips) 20 JUL 02
I have uploade to http://toolwares.com/ClarionBaseballForWindows.ZIP a small
example package of using some techniques I think will help. It is an ABC
app, and DCT, and a Microsoft Access database. If you have the Access ODBC
driver already installed on your computer, it should work. It uses the
template generated FORM procedures, but not the browses. All the browses
are hand coded into WINDOW template procedures for flexibility and speed.

Key features :
The DC template is intended for automatic datafiles converting
when application dictionary changes.
Data Ferret v4.12 (Utilities) 30 MAY 06
Data Ferret v4.06 is now available as a free at source add-on for Clarion
applications.
If you have not seen Data Ferret before, it is a program which extracts pure
company data from yellow pages type web sites. So rather than having to
copy and paste the results of searches, Data Ferret does it all for you, and
stores the results in a TPS file. These results can then either be printed
to Labels, mail merged letters or exported to other formats for refining. So
if you need to write to all the pizza restaurants in a particular state or
town, Data Ferret can bring up the website for you to enter the search into
it, and once the first page of results appears, click on the Extract button
and all the company details are then extracted and stored in a Topspeed file
on your machine. It then automatically goes to the next page of results and
extracts the results from that, next page, extract etc etc until no more
results are shown. It then allows you to add to that data to refine it for
marketing your products.
Data Ferret's demo 29 DEC 00
This app demonstrates getting Web Builder and Messaging to work
together, and using the POP3 Authorization class to "open the
door" for SMTP for the ISP's who require it.
Look for the Holiday Greeting and see the blurb before you
download. Note that there are places where things like domains,
POP3 user id/Password, and other data must be hand-coded in, but
as everything is generally either "XYZ Company" or
"youraddress," "yourpassword," and "yourdomain" that shouldn't
be too hard to do.
Merry Christmas from the Data Ferret.
Data Ferret's Telephone Lair Page Updated Apr 27, 2001 27 APR 01
My own (Data Ferret's) experience with the ExceleTel TeleTools 3.5 package indicates that it works very well with Clarion for
Windows 5b. News Flash! I have now tested it with C5.5 RC-1, and it works just fine with this release! <<
The TTSSamples.zip contains the TeleTools CallerID and DeviceInfo sample apps ported to Clarion 5b and
additional files containing EQUATE's and such necessary to compile and run the ported sample apps.
You may use these apps as the basis for your future development with TeleTools.

Data Structures and Algorithms Part I: The Dynamic Stack (Clarion Magazine) 19 APR 02
On the newsgroups it happens time and time again: a Clarion newbie asks: "How do I implement a Tree in Clarion?" or "How do I implement a List in Clarion?" These aren't questions about tree controls or list boxes; they're about established, standard data structures. Here is the first article in a series by Alison Neal outlining how to implement standard data structures and algorithms in Clarion.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part II - The List (Clarion Magazine) 17 MAY 02
How many times have you been asked to write a list? Lists are everywhere: there are shopping lists, to do lists, lists of people's contact details, and lists of appointments. The List is so pervasive and so valuable that many people have spent many years discovering how to effectively represent this structure in computer memory with the greatest efficiency.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part III - Maintaining Order (Clarion Magazine) 19 JUN 02
Alison Neal continues her series on basic data structures and algorithms with a discussion of list sorting, beginning with the Bubble Sort.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part IV - More Maintaining Order (Clarion Magazine) 26 JUN 02
Alison Neal continues her series on basic data structures and algorithms with a discussion of the Cocktail Shaker, Insertion, and Counting sorts.
Data Structures And Algorithms Part IX - Are You Getting Too Tall? (Clarion Magazine) 26 SEP 02
There are two approaches that can be taken to make sure that the Binary Search Tree always provides the best-case scenario. The first is known as a Weight Balanced (or Perfectly Balanced) Tree; the other, and the subject of this edition of Data Structures And Algorithms, is the Height Balanced (or AVL) Tree.
Data Structures And Algorithms Part V - The Sort Goes On (Clarion Magazine) 17 JUL 02
Alison Neal continues her discussion of sorting algorithms with the Radix, Selection, Heap, and Quick sorts.
Data Structures And Algorithms Part VI - All Sorted Out (Clarion Magazine) 26 JUL 02
Alison Neal concludes her series on sorting algorithms with the Merge sort, and her personal favorite, the Shell sort.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part VII - Up a Tree (Clarion Magazine) 29 AUG 02
In this installment of this series on data structures and algorithms, Alison Neal talks about the Tree data structure (which is not the same thing as a Clarion tree control).
Data Structures And Algorithms Part VIII - Watching Your Weight (Clarion Magazine) 10 SEP 02
In her previous article, Alison Neal discussed Trees, and more specifically the Binary Search Tree. She also pointed out the main shortcoming of the Binary Search Tree, which is that when data is entered in sorted order, the structure collapses into a linked list. The solution? Weight balanced trees.
Data Structures And Algorithms Part X - Going Out Of Your Tree? (Clarion Magazine) 24 OCT 02
In the previous installment in this series, Alison Neal discussed the AVL Tree or Height Balanced Tree; in this article Alison continues her discussion of the AVL Tree and shows how to delete an individual item while still maintaining the sub tree heights.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XI - Binary Search Tree Indexing (Clarion Magazine) 8 NOV 02
Have you ever wanted to key index a text file so that you can fetch a single record directly? In this article Alison Neal shows how you can do this using a Binary Search Tree.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XII - Trie This (Clarion Magazine) 4 DEC 02
In this article Alison Neal introduces a data structure known as the Trie, which is basically a type of general tree, containing words rather than numbers. The Trie is an immensely useful data structure when storing strings in memory. The Trie has been used for such things as computerized Boggle and Yahtzee games, and file compression algorithms.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XIII - Trie Hard (Clarion Magazine) 19 DEC 02
In her last installment, Alison Neal introduced a data structure called the Trie, which is used for storing strings in computer memory. In this article Alison continues her discussion of the Trie, and covers some of the other methods that are contained in the Trie Class, namely the Search, Print and Kill methods.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XIV - A Queue Is A Queue Is A Queue? (Clarion Magazine) 27 JAN 03
You know about Clarion Queues. But what about the "traditional" queue, as known to C++ programmers? Alison Neal explains.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XIX - Simple Graphs (Clarion Magazine) 12 MAY 03
All-Ali week continues with Alison Neal's implementation, in Clarion, of a Graph.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XV - Priority Q (Clarion Magazine) 30 JAN 03
In this second of two parts, Alison Neal continues her examination of traditional (i.e. not Clarion) Queues. This week's subject: the Priority Queue.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XVI - The Huffman Compression Algorithm (Part 1) (Clarion Magazine) 21 FEB 03
In her latest installment, Alison Neal discusses the Huffman compression algorithm, which is the same compression algorithm that is used by PkZip. The algorithm yields approximately 40% compression for text files. The test application included with the article reduces the provided test file from 20kb to 12kb in size, and then decompresses it back to its original state. Part 1 of 2.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XVI - The Huffman Compression Algorithm (Part 2) (Clarion Magazine) 25 FEB 03
In her latest installment, Alison Neal discusses the Huffman compression algorithm, which is the same compression algorithm that is used by PkZip. The algorithm yields approximately 40% compression for text files. The test application included with the article reduces the provided test file from 20kb to 12kb in size, and then decompresses it back to its original state. Part 2 of 2.
Data Structures And Algorithms Part XVII - Decompression (Clarion Magazine) 27 MAR 03
Last time Alison Neal discussed Huffman's compression algorithm, which provides about 40% compression for text files. In this article Alison shows how to decompress the now compressed file.
