  • Marty Honea's TPS to SQL templates mainly cover MS SQL, but include code for MySQL and Oracle as well. The templates generate the SQL script, TXDs with the new structure, and create a PRJ that converts the TPS files to the SQL database.

  • C6 Icon Removal - Friedrich Linder's example of how to remove the control-menu box and the upper left icon from a C6 window. Source code is now also available.
  • Version Information Resource Compiler version 2.0 by Larry Sand. Version information resources consist of file and product version, company and product name, copyright, trademarks, as well as other information. Once compiled and linked into your application, you can view the version information resource for a file by right clicking on it in Windows Explorer and then selecting the Version tab from the Properties sheet. The Simple Version Resource Compiler now allows user defined string resources. The template is enhanced to allow you to enter user defined strings, including data from a limited number template symbols. The template symbols are: %CWVersion, %ProgramDateChanged, %ProgramTimeChanged, and %CWTemplateVersion. This allows you to add a string such as "Build Date" with a value of %ProgramDateChanged. Then the version resource will display "Build Date 06/06/2003" in @D17 format. The template also allows you to optionally store some version resource elements in an ini file. There's also a new option to append the build date to product version string. Version 3 posted September 1, 2004.
