Commented code before the embed point will contain the list of changes between the file versions.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Q</B></I><I> : Whether the arrays, including the arrays of groups, are supported?</I></div> <div> <B>A</B> : Yes.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Q</B></I><I> : Whether the multi-DLL applications supported?</I></div> <div> <B>A</B> : Yes. There are two ways to support multi-DLL applications.</div> <div> First: Internal Converter mode. Register the template in the application, which generates EXE-file.</div> <div> Second: External Converter mode. Register the template in the application, which generates EXE-file, and create the external conversion procedure.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Q</B></I><I> : Clarion 5.5. I create the conversion procedure, based on the procedural template "DC - DataConverter". Following all the steps and receiving the procedure, but without the window. Why?</I></div> <div> <B>A</B> : If you are using Clarion 5.5, then when creating the conversion procedure, at a stage of choosing the procedural template, in the window "Select Procedure Type", do not forget to select the tab "Defaults".</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Q</B></I><I> : Do I need to call the converter manually?</I></div> <div> <B>A</B> : Nope. The converter will be called automatically by DC - AutoLauncher, when it'll be necessary.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Q</B></I><I> : Is it possible to call the converter manually?</I></div> <div> <B>A</B> : Easy. Use the code template "DC - CodeLauncher" to call converter at any point of your application.</div> <bR> <bR> <div>   <script language="javascript"></script><noscript> <a href="http://u1553.76.spylog.com/cnt?cid=155376&f=3&p=1" target="_blank"> <img src="http://u1553.76.spylog.com/cnt?cid=155376&p=1" alt='Mytrix' border='0' width=88 height=31 > </a></noscript>     <script language="javascript"> hotlog_js="1.0";hotlog_d=document; hotlog_n=navigator;hotlog_rn=Math.random(); hotlog_n_n=(hotlog_n.appName.substring(0,3)=="Mic")?0:1; hotlog_r=""+hotlog_rn+"&s=12479&r="+escape(hotlog_d.referrer)+"&pg="+ escape(window.location.href); hotlog_d.cookie="hotlog=1"; hotlog_r+="&c="+(hotlog_d.cookie?"Y":"N"); hotlog_d.cookie="hotlog=1; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-70 00:00:01 GMT"</script> <script language="javascript1.1"> hotlog_js="1.1";hotlog_r+="&j="+(navigator.javaEnabled()?"Y":"N")</script> <script language="javascript1.2"> hotlog_js="1.2";hotlog_s=screen; hotlog_r+="&wh="+hotlog_s.width+'x'+hotlog_s.height+"&px="+((hotlog_n_n==0)? hotlog_s.colorDepth:hotlog_s.pixelDepth)</script> <script language="javascript1.3">hotlog_js="1.3"</script> <script language="javascript">hotlog_r+="&js="+hotlog_js; hotlog_d.write("<img src=\"http://hit2.hotlog.ru/cgi-bin/hotlog/count?"+ hotlog_r+"&\" border=0 width=1 height=1>")</script> <noscript><img src="http://hit2.hotlog.ru/cgi-bin/hotlog/count?s=12479" border=0 width=1 height=1></noscript>     <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="pphlogger.js"></script> <noscript><img alt="" src="http://www.nmsdesigns.com/webstats/pphlogger.php?id=inga&st=img"></noscript>   </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
