Can't compile Controls4u from UppHub [message #57793]

using an old project I wanted to recompile which uses Controls4U from bazaar:
I modified it to use UppHub, fresh Upp install, no bazaar folder and no my_app flying around, all files under "c:\dev\upp".

Trying to compile Controls4U_Demo i get the same compile errors like with my old projects
I'm on Windows 10 tried out with MSVS19 and CLANG (in 32 and 64 variants)
Even with new bin files from nightly (i.e. updated Clang) I get the following errors:
index.php?t=getfile&id=6536&private=0

My other projetcs (without Controls4u) just compile nicely...

is Controls4u out-of support ? not managed or tested ?

What shall I do, where do I get corrected files ?

Hello,

I will repeat it one more time Anboto fork is waste of time. It is causing too many problems and it is expensive to everyone. UppHub package contains patches that Anboto doesn't have. For example compatibility with recent wchar changes. On the other hand UppHub version doesn't have recent changes from koldo. Thanks to that we have vicious circle.

Koldo, if you are reading this word please consider backing to develop Anboto components under Libraries for you organization. I know that managing multiple repos, might be difficult, but you should used to it. U++ The good of U++ framework requires it. Divided we will never achieve success.

Klugier

U++ - one framework to rule them all.

Except it does not. Be more careful reading posts.

(Now working on the fix...)

I apologize for problems, should be fixed now (in UppHub) and should be working with current U++ version.

Hi there ...

Seems to be still a problem.
index.php?t=getfile&id=6666&private=0

I've checked also in SVN, wether the files in upp\bazaar\Controls4U are actual: these are.

Best Regards

Hi there ...

https://github.com/anboto/Anboto/tree/master/Controls4U
Thanks for the Link to GitHub, Typhoor.

The upp repository contains in ActiveX_base.h at line 28

		WString ret(static_cast<wchar *>(bstr));

which is not accepted by the compiler.

But the Github code contains

		WString ret((wchar *)bstr);

which works.
So that seems to be actual.
I've corrected the upp code by using the ones from GitHub. The I've got the next problems: The same with Functions4U, which is included in the demo and is also compiling with errors.
index.php?t=getfile&id=6667&private=0

From here on I'm lost, because the difference in the code is to much for me to handle. (I'm just a beginner ...)

Why is it so hard to make the examples working?
Shouldn't these simply run out of the box?

Best regards
dschoni

Please use the UppHub sources hosted in https://github.com/anboto. They are maintained and improved. Bugs are solved overnight.
The author of Controls4U does not guarantee the functionality of other sources.

Best regards

Hi there ...

In the end I made it.
I had to replace any WString trough Vector<WCHAR>.

As example:

	Vector<WCHAR> wfileName = ToSystemCharsetW(String(fileName));
	wfileName.Add(0);
	FILE *fp = _wfopen(wfileName, L"rb");
	//FILE *fp = _wfopen(fileName.ToWString(), L"rb");

(Functions4U.cpp and more ...)

Wow, this was hard work! But now it works perfectly.

Best Regards
dschoni

Great!

Thank you, this is working out of the box.
Seems to have some improvements too.
