- Release Notes for REALbasic 2.1.1
- May 4, 2000
-
- This release contains the following new features:
- • (Win32) FolderItem: SaveAsPicture now works for Win32.
- Note: On Win32 saves a bitmap file (or .bmp file) rather than a 'PICT'
- file. Saves in all supported picture depths. Appends '.bmp' to
- folderItem.name if not already present, truncates file to fit if
- necessary. QuickTime is NOT REQUIRED.
-
- • (Win32) FolderItem: SaveAsJPEG now works for Win32.
- Saves in all supported picture depths. Appends '.jpg' to folderItem.name
- if '.jpg' or '.jpeg' not already present, truncates file to fit if
- necessary. QuickTime is REQUIRED.
-
- • (Win32) FolderItem: ExportPicture now works for Win32. Saves in all
- supported picture depths. QuickTime is REQUIRED.
-
- • (Win32) QuickTime: OpenURLMovie now works for Win32.
-
- • (Win32) Picture: NewPicture -- 2bit, and 32bit Device Independant Bitmaps
- (or DIBs) aren't supported by windows. REALbasic relies on this technology
- to provide pictures under Win32, consequently 2bit and 32bit pictures are
- not supported. To make your life easier, requests for these picture types
- results in the following conversions behind the scenes: 2bit -> 4bit, and
- 32bit -> 24bit.
-
- • (Win32) Picture: NewPicture -- 24bit pictures are supported (Win32 only).
- 2bit, and 32bit Device Independant Bitmaps
- (or DIBs) aren't supported by Windows.
-
- • (Win32) Picture: NewPicture -- 4bit Win32 pictures now in color, uses Mac
- standard 16 color palette.
-
- This release contains the following optimizations:
- • (All) Listbox: AddRow and RemoveRow now perform up to 10X faster.
-
- The following bugs were fixed in this release:
- • (Win32) Bevel buttons value returns the correct value in code.
-
- • (Win32) Disclosure triangles value returns the correct value in code.
-
- • (Win32) Edit field: Single line now refresh correctly on winNT.
-
- • (Win32) Placards now update when their value is set in code.
-
- • (Win32) PopUp arrows facings can be set in code.
-
- • About Box: layout has been slightly altered to better accomodate the
- Japanese version.
-
- • Events: Using "quit" method now causes Close events to fire, just like
- Quit menu command.
-
- • Sprites: now collide correctly even when straddling X=0 or Y=0.
-
- • Strings: InStrB: now does byte-oriented, case-sensitive search (previously
- was equivalent to InStr).
-
- • Strings: InStr, InStrB: fixed a minor bug with return value of
- InStr(s, "") (and same for InStrB).
-
