  • Dan, I am not ready to give up on this being a client setup configuration issue. Sometimes the client setup doesn't work as thoroughly as we might expect without first uninstalling all existing OI client components. Other than that, I wonder if th…
  • Dan, I am pretty sure if you run the ClientSetup.exe against this machine it will resolve the problem. Newer versions of OI are automatically configured to use the new .NET library for index management. However, if you do not run the setup then the…
  • Don, * I think the SRP Picture control only needs the OnCustomDraw qualified synchronously. It is unlikely you need this event so I would ignore it. * The SRP EditTable Before/After event chain order will not change. Internally, the Before event…
  • Hi Don, Yes, you are correct. This is a relatively recent policy shift on our part, largely due to changes in OI 9 that seem to cause performance and overhead issues with excessive synchronous event handling.
  • Kauko, Are you expecting the RDK to automatically pick up these bitmaps because you reference them in your event handler? I am a little confused about what the real problem is. Here are some further questions: * What kind of RDK is this? * Are t…
  • Jim, We do have a script. I believe if you download our NSIS Utilities from our Downloads page it will include a template that you can use. Please note that a script won't override permissions, but it will request them to be elevated for you. So th…
  • Barry, As you discovered, we are busy adding more Programmer's Reference Guide content to our wiki site. However, the Properties (and other topics) are not finished so we have not yet exposed a landing page for them. We hired a monkey (aka sister-i…
  • Martin, As far as where you should post questions, the best place would be in the forum that uses the control you are trying to use. In the case where you are not certain which control would best be used, then this "General Discussion" forum would …
  • Mark, To answer your original question, a true ActiveX chart control is something we would like to produce and we have some foundation controls that we can use. However, this is not on our radar to work on just yet (unless, of course, a highly moti…
  • Colin, TapTip.exe is a Microsoft tablet utility. It does not appear to come pre-installed on Windows 7 (or earlier) machines. I suspect it comes standard with Windows 8 since it is designed to be a desktop and tablet OS all-in-one. Therefore, the o…
  • Dear Mark, To you and all of our customers we extend a very Merry Christmas. We would also like to extend our immense gratitude toward everyone in the Revelation community who have used our products and found great value in them. Your comments, exa…
  • That works well for individual controls but not for the Pro control or the controls contained in the SRPCore.ocx (i.e., Button, Picture, HyperLink, Tab, and StatusBar.)
  • Jim, Yes, that's why we updated the Info utility. The licensing technology had been updated so the old Info utility needed to be updated. I should have first asked you if you were getting eval messages when you ran your application. That's the the …
  • Jim, Your list of actions look good to me. There are no controls that can be unregistered that do not exist in the SRP Controls Pro (SRPControls.ocx). It is all inclusive. I'm not the NSIS expert here so I'll have someone else jump in to answer th…
  • Kauko, Have you tried running Setup.exe using the "Run as Administrator" option? What folder is OI installed in?
  • Barry, We had some server issues around that time but I think they are cleared up. Did you have a chance to review the updated documentation? Please post back and that way you can test the system to see if that database error comes back.
  • Barry, It would have been nice if the documentation changes were provided by Revelation somewhere other than the download page (I was searching the .zip download files for it). Regardless, I have made the changes. I did my best to keep their notes …
  • Dan, It had about a 50/50 chance of working. :-) The problem ultimately comes down to the way OLE controls are tied to the engine. You might have differing levels of success by playing with the sync flag in the QUALIFY_EVENT but I would guess this …
  • Dan, It is a bit dated because engine-to-engine interfacing is not the official approach Revelation would suggest. The Engine Server is what they would guide you toward. However, the Engine Server is geared toward passing off requests to another se…
  • Dang, Dan, you forced me to re-read my own White Paper to understand what you are talking about! :-) That paper is at least 10 years old... Okay, my first question is what are you doing to allow OpenInsight to continue working while you are waiting…
  • Barry, I am not near a machine with OI to test this. Is this only a problem during the CREATE event or does using the TEXT property never change the text (e.g., during the CLICK event of a push button control)? Honestly, I was 99% certain the TEXT …
  • Dan, I am trying to make sure I understand what you are doing properly. Are all of the variables (SuggestedPrices, Costs, and Margins) multivalued? I assume so based on the name. Thus, your struggle is with the number 1, which is inherently single-…
  • Dan, Multivalue arithmetic in OI has never been as good as it was in AREV. Are you particularly interested in getting multivalue multiplication to work or do you need to convert each element in the array by 100? If the latter, you can accomplish th…
  • Dan, Hmmm...so you don't see the source in SYSPROG? It's always been available for as long as I can recall, but perhaps Revelation removed this from newer installs. Check your email.
  • Dan, Set_Printer is the only way to tell the OIPI what printer to use. We haven't used the DEVICES message for a long time since we prefer to rely on the Windows API for retrieving available printers. This method has worked for us as a means of get…
  • Dan, You are right. I get the same behavior. I don't think I have ever set the NEXT property of a control to itself. I typically create a small loop of controls that I want to have a tight tab loop (such as all controls on the same page when I don'…
  • Dan, The system beep (or "ding") is not directly related to the NEXT property. Usually the cause of the ding will be reported in the System Monitor as an error. It can also occur if the engine is busy while a process attempts to execute. You would …
  • Dan, Try using the NEXT property to force the edit line to be the next control in its tab order. This prevents the focus from moving away when the user presses Tab or Enter. It will not prevent the user from clicking away. This will prevent the LOS…
  • Dan, I am pleased to read that you unearthed the core of your problem. Obviously there was more to the puzzle than what anybody originally understood. At what point are you setting the focus back to the edit line control? From what I gather, you d…
  • Dan, Sorry, I was speaking in old school tech. This is still functioning as a keyboard input device - it just receives input from the barcode scan rather than a key press. I have never heard of this happening before. i was surprised you were getti…
