  • Hi Shane. I have no idea what is happening. Nothing in FrameWorks that I'm aware of would dynamically add that MFS. OMNI.SCRIPT is a special MFS primitive that must be called directly, which means it isn't something that OpenInsight would normally …
  • Shane - If FS is empty (or "blank" to use your terminology) then a SYS1000 error is definitely expected. The actual error would be: The Len() is a good safeguard, but it is masking the underlying problem: FS should not be blank. You noted that this…
  • Some button styles don't cause an edit control to lose focus when clicked. Just pick an appropriate style.

  • @Opto_Will, I obviously knew the hierarchy of applications but I cant say I thought too much about hierarchy of Control vs Event. It makes total sense if you stop and thing about it for just a second though.. I always found it helpful to remember …
  • M@, It would be better to say that a Quick Event that Has Priority immediately follows the Script Event Handler in the event chain, right? That is right. I'm happy to see that your hacked version of our diagram is also correct in that you remove…
  • My question is this: Using a forward event allows the Write to behave with Pre-Write-Post behaviors? If so, with no Forward event, would that not make the Write a PRE action, not a POST? M@ gave an excellent answer so I won’t be improving upon i…
  • The only reason you should consider paying for the UD5 for OI9.4 is if you need the VSS feature.
  • I'm sure you know this goes without saying...but just in case: This is a disaster waiting to happen. I recommend installing the UD 4.7 service and client posthaste. End of line.
  • Keeping in mind that none of this is supported due to the EOL of all products being reference, if you were to run a system without a network service installed on the server, I believe the preferred option is to use the 2.1 driver. This is better sui…
  • There could be different issues causing the various inconsistent behavior of the application, so let's analyze each one separately. I'm particularly curious about the API failures. I know you said you haven't gotten into the nitty gritty yet, so ke…
  • @Opto_Will - Nothing about that configuration stands out to me. Jared and Corby are my resident experts. Jared is on PTO this week. Corby monitors these discussions so he might jump in if he has something to add. Published apps being server based I…
  • @Opto_Will - We have experience with this. I'm not the in-house SME, but I've worked with enough OpenInsight applications running as a published app to understand some of the broad strokes. I doubt very much that any problems are due to the app bei…
  • For OI10, I go to the RevelationWiki to get the updated commands 😉 Yes, I understand the reason to go there. However, I find that I need the OI10 specific documentation far less than the core documentation...and I just prefer how our wiki presents…
  • I have restored the WebHelp folder, BUT F1 help does not appear to be working. Can you confirm at your end. No, it doesn't work for me either. But it didn't work before running that command so it seems to have been broken for awhile. I've never no…
  • was thinking it was something like that, even though I did get the message the *.ocx controls registered correctly when I upgraded SRP Editor. That only refers to the SRPEditor.ocx. The VS*.ocx controls are Revelation's and are generally assumed t…

  • The Preview and Print features are based on the OIPI underlying controls (VSPrint7.ocx, VSPDF.ocx). Your screenshot looks as if those controls are not registered on your machine. Try running the OpenInsight ClientSetup.exe to get those working.

  • Does the source code appear in the preview viewer in the dialog? If so, how many pages does it think will be required to print the routine?

  • I'm curious, you use single vs. double quoted strings for different purposes? I realize that sometimes this is necessary to support embedded quotes or to satisfy some syntax requirements, but you seemed to suggest that you have quote conventions in …
  • Mark - Thank you very much for the endorsement. This developer already has access to the SRP Editor. So it isn't the features he wants, but the stripped down model that just gets up and go. Admittedly, I take the original System Editor for a quick s…
  • Not possible. The original System Editor (which does have utility I'll admit) is its own C++ compiled binary. Revelation very openly noted that this tool will not be migrated to work with OI 10. Your only options are the code editor that is integrat…
  • I assume this is OI 9. OI 10 handles UDPs much better. Even if you don't see the UDP appear in the list of properties, you should be able to type it in manually. Make sure to include the "@" symbol.
  • SRP_Date utility to have a "Unformat" option for completeness (this would basically be a wrapper for IConv the same way 'Format' wraps OConv). This would apply to DateTime and Time as well. So you want to be able to provide a date in virtually any…
  • Barry - I'm confused. You said that registering the controls from within the same folder worked. If that were the case, then this suggests you already had vcredist_x64.exe installed on this machine. This is why I said the prior post was similar but …
  • I'm not sure how to resolve this. At first blush this looked like the same problem you reported 5 years ago. However, it is clearly not the exact same problem because this time you you are able to register the control if you are in the same folder o…
  • For my clarity, if you were already in C:\Revsoft\OIClient10 and then entered "regsvr32 SRPControls64.ocx" it would work?
  • Thank you. I don't see anything wrong with the string. I'm not an RTF expert, but once upon a time I went through much of what you have described. I can't recall using it in the OIPI before, but I have used it in RTF editboxes in OI. I remember the …
  • Interpreting your code is a bit challenging because we can't know exactly what data is being passed into the ADDTABLE message. It might help if you could just post the actual RTF strings that your code is producing.
  • @AusMarkB - you need to try harder. :) I can't help but think this is a GDI memory resource issue.
  • I assume this is an SRP Tab control being used. Are you doing anything special, such as using the CustomPaneColor property? Has the user tried to move the mouse around to see if the controls redraw themselves?
  • Are the controls that are missing OLE controls, OI controls, or a combination of both?
