Re: Foxgui-users Digest, Vol 179, Issue 1

Dear Jeroen,

thanks for this new release.

I am updating from 1.7.74 on Visual C++ 2015, using 64 bits version.

Only 2 compilation errors in FXAtomic (I already had this issue trying 
to move from 1.7.74 to 1.7.77, then I stayed to 1.7.74) in:
#1) in line 268 (commented below)
//  return _InterlockedAdd64(ptr,v);
corrected as
   _InterlockedExchangeAdd64(ptr,v);
   return *ptr;

#2) in line 427 (commented below)
//  return _InterlockedAdd64(reinterpret_cast<volatile FXlong*>(ptr),v);
corrected as
   _InterlockedExchangeAdd64(reinterpret_cast<volatile FXlong*>(ptr),v);
   return *ptr;

Once corrected, it compile and links fine.


Note however something strange appear:
In the FXMenuCommand, I used & to underline a char in the title, as this:
     Mnu_Pro = new FXMenuTitle(menubar,"Project",NULL,filemenu);
     Mnu_Pro_New = new FXMenuCommand(filemenu,"&New...\tCtl-N\tCreate a 
new project.",getApp()->newicon,this,ID_PROJECT_NEW);
Apparently, this no longer works as I now get the string '&New' 
(previously this was '_N_ew').

Well that's not a big deal (I have remove all these & in menus string), 
just strange.
Best regards,
Pof
