  • I had forgotten about that. I just confirmed that it is still missing in OI 10.2.2. An alternative that will work in OI 9 and OI 10 is putting the SRP Picture control on your form and using its OnFileDrop event. This isn't as convenient of a soluti…
  • Jim - My apologies. That property is a good property, but not 100% for what you are looking to do. I should have pointed you to this property: ACCEPTDROPFILES
  • Jim - Just so I can do an apples-to-apples test, is this an OI edittable or the SRP EditTable?
  • Jim - Did you try it and it didn't work or are you only going off of the documentation? I think when I implemented it, I didn't restrict it to a specific control. I enabled it for the window, and this seemed to work for all controls on the window. …
  • Jim - I think so. I've done this for other OLE controls. Just set the ENABLEDROP property and then use the DROPFILES event.
  • Jim - This is OI 9, correct? I discovered the same issue when I tried to implement a file picker. For some reason the OI code only displays that older looking UI. I gave up and implemented a drag-n-drop solution, which worked even better since the W…
  • Jim - Are you referring to the text in the caption that looks to be clipped out at the bottom?
  • I've never heard of that being an issue before. However, Start_MDIChild is a wrapper around Start_Window so if you were to call it several times in a loop then eventually you would see a performance difference. But for regular launches of a window I…
  • @AusMarkB - You'll want to use the OnParentClosing event, which was created for just this scenario.
  • @AusMarkB - Well there was no direct answer to my specific question about whether this occurs only on the same machine so all we can do is surmise.
  • @AusMarkB - I'm curious, have you used this form of redundancy and OLE Automation and seen results or are you just offering general advice? I'm not being critical, but genuinely curious. I had tried that with my Copy issues and no amount of repeatin…
  • HI Roger - No, we never discovered the solution so we created a (much slower) workaround. We know the problem only occurred with Citrix stations.
  • Does it fail occasionally on the same machine? I've had inconsistencies with the Paste method, but I've narrowed this down to the same machine.
  • Page 30 of this SENL has some information about Volume MFS's that might prove helpful.

  • I have not yet done one myself but I know you would add them to the Volume Pointer using this tool:

  • This sounds a lot like what happens if an orphaned TEMP dictionary is orphaned. When you open the dictionary either with the Table Builder or the Form Designer, it creates a TEMP version of the dictionary. This is how each tool knows if the dictiona…
  • As far as a built-in solution goes, there is nothing that the Msg() function provides to do this. You might experiment to see if the button will grow taller if you make the text multilined. Otherwise, you would have to go through more heroic measur…
  • I have not used their vector products so I am not sure how to answer. Perhaps Kevin has some thoughts.
  • It is mostly a thing of the past. There are no 64K limits in the database or with memory, but there are still structures and some internal processes with 64K limits. Most of these have been refactored over the years to take advantage of the increase…
  • Yes, those will work. Any package with the supported image types will work just fine. FWIW, we use the Pure Flat icon sets as these have a more of a modern Office aesthetic: https://www.axialis.com/stock-icons/pure-flat-2013-toolbar.html#database_…
  • We've purchased most, if not all, of the raster flat format packs before the vector packs were made available. We like the Axialis brand and style, but the vendor does not really make much of a difference. The most important issue is uniformity. If …
  • Michael - That doesn't sound familiar, but it's been 8 years so it could be.
  • Was hoping there was some less-complicated.. maybe a SRP or RTI utility that could kick station-x or session-x off remotely. Something a monitor person could run w/o getting onto the server console. If this client is the one I'm thinking of, we a…
  • Thanks Barry. RTI_Lock_Owner does indeed get me the station ID. But the username is always Sysprog. And field 10 of Syslogins is null. The dictionary only goes to FMC 3. The client had some code that populated F10 with the user's ID, but I guess it …
  • BTW, the argument for putting the SRP Subclass control on individual forms versus the parent form (i.e., the MDI Frame or some startup menu form) is so that events are routed to the individual form. We also put the control, as well as the SRP Popup…

  • Aha...then I go back to my original idea: every form must have an SRP control. Full stop.
    in MDICLIENT Comment by DonBakke May 2024
  • I suppose you only need it on the first form you open, and then just don't exit the Form Designer completely until you are completely done with your OI session...unless I'm wrong about how this works. I haven't actually tested this feature yet (been…

  • @Opto_Will - You are missing the big picture. Just make sure you have an SRP control on *every* form and you are golden.

  • Is your statusbar bottom anchored?
