I think I am <again> responsible for it. In win32lib_full.ew, the last line
misses <cr><lf> and EUCOMPRESS.exw doesn't like it (strips the last char)

controls that do not support setting the text.
<li> Enhanced. setText() now supports atoms, integers, formatting mask,
as well as straight text.

<li> Enhanced.
Extra validation is being done to ensure that Window Handles are
being used with the correct control ID.
<li> Enhanced
The event handlers onXXX can now be set for the Screen ID. This

for all KeyDown events on all controls.
<li> Enhanced
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETTEXTEXTENT">getTextExtent</a>() now takes =
either a single text string or

href=3D"win32lib.htm#MANAGE_MEM">manage_mem</a>()
These are the new memory management routines that are used in
win32lib. The use of free(), allocate() and allocate_string()
is discouraged inside win32lib.ew. Please use the new routines
instead.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETPOSITION">getPosition</a>()
This returns a sequence containing the pixel position of the
top lefthand corner of the control
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#COPYFILE">copyFile</a>(), <a =

This simulates a dialog-type window. It opens the specified
window and directs all events to that window until its closed.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#SHOWCHAR">showChars</a>()
This function sets an internal flag that causes <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#WPRINT">wPrint</a>() to
show displayable characters in readable form. The initial setting
is to show such characters like Euphoria's print() function.
<li> Added eucompress.exw
This is a Windows program that compresses any euphoria source

getSize() has been renamed to <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETRECT">getRect</a>()
<li> Changed
setSize() has been renamed to <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#SETCTLSIZE">setCtlSize</a>()
<li> Changed
The routines renamed above are actually still defined in
a compatability file "compat01.ew" which will not be distributed
when version 1.00 is released. This file is automatically
included in the library for now, but from v1.00 onwards will be
distributed but not included inside win32lib.ew
<li> Changed
The distribution now comes with a number of toolkit files.
tk_mem.e (memory management)
tk_maths.e (Mathematical functions)
tk_misc.e (Miscellaneous)
These can be used with any Eu project.
These files are "included" by win32lib.ew
An additional file, tk_fileio.e, is also distributed but it is
not used by win32lib.
<li> Changed.
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#ONCLICK">onClick</a> events now fired for all =
non-static controls that don't
capture mouse events. For example, the StatusBar.
<li> Changed
Now uses the DoubleClick time interval for the maximum mouse
click time tolerence.
<li> Changed
For those routines that deal with positioning controls etc, the
X and Y (left and top) coordinates are relative to the parent's
client area, not the parent's borders.
This may break some code that currently manually adjusts these
values to account for Toolbar and StatusBar controls. These sort
of adjustments are now done automatically.
<li> Removed.

will capture all events of the given type for all controls in
the application. For example <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#ONKEYDOWN">onKeyDown</a>[Screen] will be fired
for all KeyDown events on all controls.
<li> Enhanced
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETTEXTEXTENT">getTextExtent</a>() now takes =
either a single text string or
multiple strings. It returns the maximum, minimum and total
pixels for width and height. This change will not effect
existing code.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETCHAREXTENT">getCharExtent</a>()
This returns the average width and height for a text character
in a given control.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETVSCROLLPO">getVScrollPos</a>(), =
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETHSCROLLPO">getHScrollPos</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#SETVSCROLLPO">setVScrollPos</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#SETHSCROLLPO">setHScrollPos</a>()
These get and set the Vertical and Horizontal positions of
scrollbars that are attached to windows via the WS_HVSCROLL
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#CLASSDEFAULT">classDefaults</a>()
This allows you to set the default styles for each control.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#SETCLIENTRECT">setClientRect</a>()
This resizes your window so that the client area is a specified.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#DOEVENT">doEvents</a>()
This allows Windows to check for message events during event
handling.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#ACQUIRE_MEM">acquire_mem</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#RELEASE_MEM">release_mem</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#NEW_MEMSET">new_memset</a>(), and <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#MANAGE_MEM">manage_mem</a>()
These are the new memory management routines that are used in
win32lib. The use of free(), allocate() and allocate_string()
is discouraged inside win32lib.ew. Please use the new routines
instead.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETPOSITION">getPosition</a>()
This returns a sequence containing the pixel position of the
top lefthand corner of the control
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#COPYFILE">copyFile</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#DELETEFILE">deleteFile</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#MOVEFILE">moveFile</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#CREATEDIRECTORY">createDirectory</a>(),
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETTMPPATH">getTmpPath</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETTEMPFILE">getTempFile</a>()
These are wrappers for the Windows file/directory commands.=20
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#OPENDIALOG">openDialog</a>()
This simulates a dialog-type window. It opens the specified
window and directs all events to that window until its closed.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#SHOWCHAR">showChars</a>()
This function sets an internal flag that causes <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#WPRINT">wPrint</a>() to
show displayable characters in readable form. The initial setting
is to show such characters like Euphoria's print() function.
<li> Added eucompress.exw
This is a Windows program that compresses any euphoria source
code by removing unrequired spaces, empty lines and comments.
<li> Changed
setPosition() has been renamed to <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#SETPENPOSITION">setPenPosition</a>()
<li> Changed
moveWindow() has been renamed to <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#SETRECT">setRect</a>()
<li> Changed
getExtent() has been renamed <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETCTLSIZE">getCtlSize</a>()
<li> Changed
getSize() has been renamed to <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETRECT">getRect</a>()
<li> Changed
setSize() has been renamed to <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#SETCTLSIZE">setCtlSize</a>()
<li> Changed
The routines renamed above are actually still defined in
a compatability file "compat01.ew" which will not be distributed
when version 1.00 is released. This file is automatically
included in the library for now, but from v1.00 onwards will be
distributed but not included inside win32lib.ew
<li> Changed
The distribution now comes with a number of toolkit files.
tk_mem.e (memory management)
tk_maths.e (Mathematical functions)
tk_misc.e (Miscellaneous)
These can be used with any Eu project.
These files are "included" by win32lib.ew
An additional file, tk_fileio.e, is also distributed but it is
not used by win32lib.
<li> Changed.
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#ONCLICK">onClick</a> events now fired for all =
non-static controls that don't
capture mouse events. For example, the StatusBar.
<li> Changed
Now uses the DoubleClick time interval for the maximum mouse
click time tolerence.
<li> Changed
For those routines that deal with positioning controls etc, the
X and Y (left and top) coordinates are relative to the parent's
client area, not the parent's borders.
This may break some code that currently manually adjusts these
values to account for Toolbar and StatusBar controls. These sort
of adjustments are now done automatically.
<li> Removed.
The routines free_strings(), allot_string(), and
allocate_struct() have been removed.

and
TreeView now work.
<li> Fixed <em>by Martin Stachon</em>. Put back 'include compat01.ew'
<li> Fixed <em>by Irv Mullins</em>. Now handles clicking into an =
"empty"
treeview without crashing.
<li> Fixed. addItem() now works with empty text strings.
<li> Fixed. <em>by Judith Evans and Martin Stachon</em>. <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#REMOVETVITEM">removeTVItem</a>()
now correctly resets the 'has children' flag so that subsequent
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#ADDTVITEM">addTVItem</a>() calls use the =
correct graphics.
<li> Fixed <em>by Martin Stachon</em>. No longer crashes when using
getRect() on a closed window.
<li> Fixed. The demo program, 'generic.exw', now saves the text
correctly.

sizes.
<li> Enhanced.
Extra validation is being done to ensure that Window Handles are
being used with the correct control ID.
<li> Enhanced

for all KeyDown events on all controls.
<li> Enhanced
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETTEXTEXTENT">getTextExtent</a>() now takes =
either a single text string or
multiple strings. It returns the maximum, minimum and total

These are the new memory management routines that are used in
win32lib. The use of free(), allocate() and allocate_string()
is discouraged inside win32lib.ew. Please use the new routines
instead.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETPOSITION">getPosition</a>()
This returns a sequence containing the pixel position of the
top lefthand corner of the control
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#COPYFILE">copyFile</a>(), <a =

This simulates a dialog-type window. It opens the specified
window and directs all events to that window until its closed.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#SHOWCHAR">showChars</a>()
This function sets an internal flag that causes <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#WPRINT">wPrint</a>() to
show displayable characters in readable form. The initial setting
is to show such characters like Euphoria's print() function.
<li> Added eucompress.exw
This is a Windows program that compresses any euphoria source

<li> Changed
The routines renamed above are actually still defined in
a compatability file "compat01.ew" which will not be distributed
when version 1.00 is released. This file is automatically
included in the library for now, but from v1.00 onwards will be
distributed but not included inside win32lib.ew
<li> Changed
The distribution now comes with a number of toolkit files.
tk_mem.e (memory management)
tk_maths.e (Mathematical functions)
tk_misc.e (Miscellaneous)
These can be used with any Eu project.
These files are "included" by win32lib.ew
An additional file, tk_fileio.e, is also distributed but it is
not used by win32lib.
<li> Changed.
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#ONCLICK">onClick</a> events now fired for all =
non-static controls that don't
capture mouse events. For example, the StatusBar.
<li> Changed
Now uses the DoubleClick time interval for the maximum mouse
click time tolerence.
<li> Changed
For those routines that deal with positioning controls etc, the
X and Y (left and top) coordinates are relative to the parent's
client area, not the parent's borders.
This may break some code that currently manually adjusts these
values to account for Toolbar and StatusBar controls. These sort
of adjustments are now done automatically.

sizes.
<li> Enhanced.
Extra validation is being done to ensure that Window Handles are
being used with the correct control ID.
<li> Enhanced
The event handlers onXXX can now be set for the Screen ID. This
will capture all events of the given type for all controls in
the application. For example <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#ONKEYDOWN">onKeyDown</a>[Screen] will be fired
for all KeyDown events on all controls.
<li> Enhanced
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETTEXTEXTENT">getTextExtent</a>() now takes =
either a single text string or
multiple strings. It returns the maximum, minimum and total
pixels for width and height. This change will not effect
existing code.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETCHAREXTENT">getCharExtent</a>()
This returns the average width and height for a text character
in a given control.

href=3D"win32lib.htm#RELEASE_MEM">release_mem</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#NEW_MEMSET">new_memset</a>(), and <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#MANAGE_MEM">manage_mem</a>()
These are the new memory management routines that are used in
win32lib. The use of free(), allocate() and allocate_string()
is discouraged inside win32lib.ew. Please use the new routines
instead.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETPOSITION">getPosition</a>()
This returns a sequence containing the pixel position of the
top lefthand corner of the control
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#COPYFILE">copyFile</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#DELETEFILE">deleteFile</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#MOVEFILE">moveFile</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#CREATEDIRECTORY">createDirectory</a>(),
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETTMPPATH">getTmpPath</a>(), <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETTEMPFILE">getTempFile</a>()
These are wrappers for the Windows file/directory commands.=20
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#OPENDIALOG">openDialog</a>()
This simulates a dialog-type window. It opens the specified
window and directs all events to that window until its closed.
<li> Added <a href=3D"win32lib.htm#SHOWCHAR">showChars</a>()
This function sets an internal flag that causes <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#WPRINT">wPrint</a>() to
show displayable characters in readable form. The initial setting
is to show such characters like Euphoria's print() function.
<li> Added eucompress.exw
This is a Windows program that compresses any euphoria source
code by removing unrequired spaces, empty lines and comments.
<li> Changed

<li> Changed
getSize() has been renamed to <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#GETRECT">getRect</a>()
<li> Changed
setSize() has been renamed to <a =
href=3D"win32lib.htm#SETCTLSIZE">setCtlSize</a>()
<li> Changed
The routines renamed above are actually still defined in
a compatability file "compat01.ew" which will not be distributed
when version 1.00 is released. This file is automatically
included in the library for now, but from v1.00 onwards will be
distributed but not included inside win32lib.ew
<li> Changed
The distribution now comes with a number of toolkit files.
tk_mem.e (memory management)
tk_maths.e (Mathematical functions)
tk_misc.e (Miscellaneous)
These can be used with any Eu project.
These files are "included" by win32lib.ew
An additional file, tk_fileio.e, is also distributed but it is
not used by win32lib.
<li> Changed.
<a href=3D"win32lib.htm#ONCLICK">onClick</a> events now fired for all =
non-static controls that don't
capture mouse events. For example, the StatusBar.
<li> Changed
Now uses the DoubleClick time interval for the maximum mouse
click time tolerence.
<li> Changed
For those routines that deal with positioning controls etc, the
X and Y (left and top) coordinates are relative to the parent's
client area, not the parent's borders.
This may break some code that currently manually adjusts these
values to account for Toolbar and StatusBar controls. These sort
of adjustments are now done automatically.
<li> Removed.
The routines free_strings(), allot_string(), and
allocate_struct() have been removed.
<p>

Looks good, here are my comments from running samples using Windows 2000:
1. Don't complicate things with compressed win32lib.ew and win32lib_full.ew.
Come on, does it really work any faster?
2. In clock.exw when I put mouse over that clock tooltip it shows hourglas mouse
cursor. It turns into normal cursor only when I click onto that tooltip. And if
you click somewhere else that clock tooltip disappears but program is still
running and you can't close it except in Task manager.
3.projectiles.exw: I pressed Fire!! and nothing happened. Default settings
should be set up so that you see something happen without changing settings.
4. In a lot of samples controls are too small, like with edit boxes and then
cursor is too big for it and it doesn't look good. Same is with a lot of buttons
which have some text which is too long or too high for its button. Maybe this
depends on what screen resolution you have.
5. Files Rclick.exw and RtClick.exw are same. I checked them with ExamDiff
(great little proggie, thanks Martin for link) and they are same.
6. special.exw: I can't do anything with it. It would be logical that text would
be white cause text box background is black, but it doesn't show anything when I
type into that text box.
7. Tooltip2.EXW fails: error code 461, Failed to acquire a hWnd when creating a
control, ran it more times allways same.
8. These samples: STYLES.EXW, STYLES6.EXW and Wstyles.EXW seem to show the same
thing, why 3 of them when there could only be one?
9. sample.exw is really unsafe! First time it crashed after running a while with
writing ex.err. The second time it really messed up my desktop, everything was
white, and I thought I will have to reboot and lose this message which was open.
It happened when radio button was selected which causes buttons to change color.
I couldn't even bring up task manager to kill it. Then after about two minutes it
went back to normal, don't know why.
