  • Okay. I took a look. First, I'm glad I said 99.9% because I was wrong. While that insert does define font equates, these specific equates are in the OIPI_FONTS inserts (which you already identified). TIMES is defined there as well (see line 83). I …
  • I still have a copy of your system so just let me know what stored procedure you are working on (assuming it is a pre-existing one) and I'll investigate to get a better idea of what is going on.
  • I'm 99.9% positive those are defined in the APP_INSERTS insert. Does your code use this insert?
  • It will require a bit of a rework but worth it in the end I reckon. Yes, I believe it will be well worth the effort. In a different project (which was inherited from another developer), there was a lot of data being marshaled back and forth via a …
  • I have a directconnect setup for use with a very specific purpose, sending notifications between users, ie the onMessage results in a popup on the desired recipients screen. The most common use of this though is for notification of the completion of…
  • Barry was helpful in reminding me that this was previously reported here. However, I believe the subject was glossed over as the conversation turned into a discussion about best-practice architecture. The original issue has been logged although I'm …
  • Are you saying that for correct implementation, that each window should have a directconnect ole and the onmessage should be sent to those No, one SRP DirectConnect control per instance of OI is ideal, although I now understand why your original d…
  • Thank you for providing the details above. This is most helpful. I am now pretty certain I understand the nature of your problem. You are expecting the same SRP DirectConnect control that sent the Broadcast message to receive the OnMessage event. Th…
  • Aaron's suggestion was really the same suggestion I gave near the top of the entire thread. He just took the time to give you a prototype to work with. Let's start over since it is clear that there are some misunderstandings and perhaps false assum…
  • I agree, we are talking past each other. However, there are points in your narrative which lead me to believe your setup and implementation is wrong.
  • I only did that to test for your issue. I still maintain that multiple SRP DirectConnect controls running in the same app is not the best design...but it should work. You didn't answer my questions.
  • It just so happens that I was working on a project today that uses the SRP DirectConnect control. I put 5 different SRP DirectConnect controls on the same window and then executed one Broadcast. All 5 controls got the OnMessage event. Are you sure …
  • Okay, this is a form. I was thinking you were creating something more simplistic...like a property/value panel. This changes my perspective. I'd like to go back to your original question. You asked for a "more direct way to display the content of a…
  • I can't say I know of any way to shortcut what you are doing, but I am also curious as to what the final format looks like. Does it need to be pretty? Is a stringified view of the JSON not sufficient?
  • As you just noted (and discussed in this post), this would have to be simulated. I would be interested to hear of anybody actually doing this. I think if I were to take a stab at this I would do something like this: * Use the OnMouseMove event. …

  • Thanks for pointing this out. It doesn't matter what statement is used. It appears that "http:/" will trigger the format change and not simply "http:".
  • Ahem...that last response was from me. :) Yes, it will be a moving target but you can get some measure of control if you check a few things up front. For instance, the GetResponseHeaderField service using the argument "Content-Type" should tell you…
  • This is just plain HTML, which is expected when the server cannot find the URL you requested.
  • The answer is yes and no. OI itself requires SQL compliant naming conventions as it always has. However, in order to ease the porting of AREV to ARev32, Revelation created the CTODICT.MFS. This will get installed on your dictionaries when you do the…
  • Perhaps this isn't your issue, Mark, but using script event handlers will also make a difference. In this case, returning a 0 should also be done to prevent the event chain from continuing.
  • Post_Event() is definitely the right solution. OI does not handle OLE events well in this scenario for the reasons you surmised. Usually, however, this results in a freed common error rather than a Windows level crash. How are you qualifying the OL…
  • What exactly is happening when OpenInsight crashes? Is this a runtime error or Windows level crash?
  • Ah...the problems of using different versions of the product. I think we fixed the problem you are running into with a later release. I can only look at and test the current version that I have installed. You are correct, there is a point where the …
  • Okay, so I should expect something back on a time out or bad gateway etc. correct? Certainly the browser figures out something happens. Remember, the key issue here is "what the server returns" not "what the browser shows". The browser will show y…
  • First, I must apologize for giving you a reply that ultimately sent you on a wild goose chase. I was rushing my answer since I was heading out the door for a few hours. You nearly identified my error on your own. I was looking at HTTP_Services when …
  • Steve, I could be wrong but if your code snippet was copied from your stored procedure I think the problem is that you have the wrong service. Instead of GetResponseStatusCode try GetResponseStatus.
  • Consider using the BLOCK_EVENTS property to control the firing of errant and grief-producing CHANGED events.

  • Serves me right for trying to read posts after midnight when I am tired. I see now that the text in the control is for instructional purposes. I kept thinking all along that the text you wanted to appear was the text you were dropping in. Now this m…

  • I'm still trying to understand when the problem occurs. It seems clear to me that you are trying to do two things: 1.) drop text into a control, and 2.) clear the text once the user moves the mouse. If you ignore the functionality of #2, does dropp…

  • I don't think we have a way to support drag-n-drop of text data, at least from an external source. Maybe we can help resolve the grief issues you are getting. When you say "it dies", are you saying OI crashes? Can you elaborate more on what doesn't…
