  • Brian, a bit of friendly advice when it comes to questions related to software design issues is to provide us a brief description of what you are trying to accomplish. You are relatively new to OI, but even veteran developers ask questions (here and…
  • What Kevin wrote is true, but YMMV when it comes to layering non-OLE controls. Again, smoke and mirrors, but we've been able to put an OI button on top of an OI edittable control before we wrote our own control.
  • 1. TBH, can't be done. Nature of the beast with OLE controls in OI. What is your functional goal here? That is, why do you want to do this? 2. I don't believe there is any official information about this, but I believe tab order and z-order are rel…
  • TBH, something is not right. If all you are doing is that and you've crossed all your t's and dotted all your i's, then this is not normal. Based on my experience, I would be inclined to think this is code related.
  • Can't help you on that one. That is the first I've heard of extra padding just appearing out of nowhere. Is this extra padding consistent? Does it matter what kind of data or how much data you are stuffing? What are you doing to stuff the data?
  • Jim, As you suspected, the SRP Mail Utility does not have a "GetMail" feature. Most of the times we've needed to make OI into an email listener we've been working with Exchange accounts so our solution was to use Office OLE Automation. A long time…
  • Very good...what step actually helped you?
  • I suspect you have an event handler that is populating a databound control after your WRITE event completes and this is causing the SAVEWARN property to get triggered once again. Since the intent is to always close the form after a WRITE, try removi…
  • Does the issue occur every single time regardless of which type of control has focus when you save the row? I also should have asked some additional questions: * Is your code being called from the WRITE script event handler or from the QuickEven…
  • There might be other things to discuss, but as a possible quick explanation is the focus usually within an edit box control?
  • Jim, I'm guessing there is something else I need to do. I followed your steps. The one issue that did come up that was "a bug" (in my opinion) was that when I asked it to save the new stored procedure it tried to save it using the New Insert dialo…
  • Guys, I can't seem to duplicate this issue. Can someone provide me with some verify specific steps to follow...hopefully using OOB routines that come with OI in either SYSPROG or EXAMPLES?
  • Correct, index updates are triggered by changes in the record. SI.MFS tracks these changes and sets the appropriate flags. Indexes on symbolics work the same way but only if these symbolics reference data in the same row. The technical answer is "y…
  • I don't know. The SRP EditTable can do this but I do not see any options from the Send_Message function that would allow this to happen. Of course, the docs aren't always complete so you might want to research the Revelation forums.
  • Have you tried pressing F4 and then End?
  • But if I stuff the TEXT property, the text is filled in. I'm trying to duplicate the default handling ala Arev. It fills in when you press Enter. Doesn't the OI Editline default work the same way? No, that is not how the OI edit line default work…
  • Generally speaking you would use the TEXT property. What kind of combobox is this?
  • Comboboxes are a different type of control so the default is meant to identify which item in the dropdown list of items should be the default. OpenInsight 8.0.3 introduced a way to dynamically populate your comboboxes from one of four sources: * …
  • And if it wasn't obvious, your "return value" from your function is what gets put into the control.
  • FUNCNAME is just a place holder. You put your own function name there (without the return variable syntax). You can pass arguments but they must be enclosed within quotes. We have a function called WIN_DEF that we use. It programmatically checks to…
  • I think you are looking for the custom function default:
  • Actually, now that I think about it, the typo was not in the syntax but in the path to the image. We had a online meeting to resolve this.
  • Just for the sake of keeping all interested up to date, this was resolved by fixing a typo.
  • If you want to avoid extra UI on the form, you could also just make a context menu that gives the user the option to launch the URL.
  • Assuming you are really talking about the native OI edit line control, there is nothing built-in that supports this feature. I presume you want the content of the edit line control to be editable? If so, then your best bet is to capture the Windows …
  • Great catch Mark. I think that is what I recall being an issue I experienced. IIRC, it will occur with other controls as well.
  • If you find the problem reoccur with the 4.1.0 RC2 control, you can try the 4.1.0 RC12 control from this link. What you are describing now sounds a little familiar to me, but it may have been for something else. Keep us posted and we'll see what we …
  • Yes, 4.0.3 is still the latest official release. Can you explain a little more about the issue you are seeing? I use the splitter bar frequently and have not noticed any problems. Also, are you absolutely sure you don't have an auto-size checkbox ti…
  • M@ - Add this line to your code and compile: #pragma output SYSLISTS MY_PRECOMPILER_OUTPUT Then open this record up and let us know what seems to be the problem.
