  • 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…
  • Dan, Just so I am clear, you are using a wedge device? That is, one that inputs through the keyboard port?
  • Hi Matthew, That is a perfectly good way to test, and isolate, the SRP ActiveX controls. I take it, then, that you still have the individual controls that preceded SRPControls.ocx?
  • Hi Matthew, Are you storing the SRPControls.ocx file in a central location (i.e., on the server) or on individual workstations? This only matters because a centrally stored file can remain locked until every user is logged off of the application pr…
  • Hi Matthew, My apologies for the long wait before getting any response. Since you and I had already corresponded via email, I was allowing time for others to jump in. I thought it would be rude if I waited any longer. I see that in your post you h…
  • Matt, We have done this but Revelation have also published an article that can help you get there. Since OI also needs to install OLE controls, you could just use their information and include the SRP controls. With regard to the best way of doing…
  • Hi Dan, That is the exact issue we ran into with FrameWorks once we eliminated all dependencies upon QuickEvents. This is not a bug in OI as much as it is a design decision. By the way, you get the same problem with the HELP event. Remember, the O…
  • Babu, I have some ideas about this (like is the control registered on the target machine) but this topic has extended beyond normal OpenInsight help and tips. In my opinion we are delving into the world of consulting, which is how we earn our livin…
  • Babu, Like I said, you would deploy as you would for any other environment. This is a .DLL or .OCX file, is it not?
  • Babu, Getting the property of a control follows this syntax: Value = Get_Property(ControlName, PropertyName) So, an example of what you are trying to do would look like this: Text = Get_Property(@Window : ".EDITLINE", "TEXT") I am not sure what …
