  • Dan, What behavior would you want it to do instead?
  • Dan, Once upon a time I would see those circular symbols instead of the arrows for sub-menus. When I switched fonts to Lucida Console I no longer saw this again. Now, however, I cannot get those symbols no matter what font I choose. I am not sure i…
  • Paulo, Moving from 9.2.1 to 9.3.2 will have far less impact than your move from 8.0.8 to 9.2.1. I would also add that the move is worthwhile if you have the opportunity to implement this. We have a few clients that made the exact same jump without …
  • Mark, Yes, this is what I was looking for. However, I think you mistook my suggestion to use a "system editor" for a "text editor". I meant the OpenInsight editor (which there are three: System Editor, Editor+, and Editor++.) Then there is our own …
  • Mark, Correct, your results suggest that neither one existed on the table. Thus, as I suspected, something unusual is going on with this table. It should not matter that this was originally an AREV table, unless the AREV table is pre-AREV 3.x. I d…
  • Hi Mark, That is the first I have heard of a BTREE index refusing to be created because of an existing quick/rightdex. What version of OpenInsight are you using? In my opinion something else is going on so I would tread carefully. At least make su…
  • Paulo, I am pretty darn sure there is no way to do this. Locks are managed by the server and LH service so one has to be at the server (or connected remotely) in order to release a lock. If the UD Manager was able to run 24/7 on the desktop then y…
  • Kevin, I am pretty sure this is a throw back to when OI was 16-bit and no record size could exceed 64K. However, some processes like this would set the threshold to be smaller, like 32K. I do not recall the exact size these were supposed to be. It …
  • Bryan, To elaborate on what Paul shared, REV_LOADREC is one of the core components within OpenInsight that is used to read data from system files, including stored procedures. So when REV_LOADREC itself is unable to be loaded onto the program stack…
  • Albert, I apologize for the long delay in writing back to you. I was rather certain I had used FindWindowByTitle before but I am unable to find any examples where I used it. However, I think I have a better solution for you. We have code that will f…
  • Albert, Are you running VSPRINTER or VSPRINTER2? What happens if you switch to the other one? Both problems you are reporting sound like permissions issues. For the first problem you may also want to install a new printer driver, such as an HP Las…
  • Albert, This appears to be a problem with your print driver. What is the default printer you have selected on your workstation? Would it happen to be a label printer?
  • Jim, I have been away for a while so I was unable to get back to you on this. I also see that have been cross posting your questions on the Rev site. FWIW, we are not averse to posting on the Rev site nor are we trying to replace the Rev forum with…
  • Jim, Is this something you are starting in design mode or just during runtime?
  • Jim, I don't have a magic bullet for this, but I do want to get some clarity. Are you unable to stretch the MDI Frame when it is in resizable mode or are you simply saying that when you maximize the form it won't stretch? I was able to stretch my M…
  • Jim, Well Carl has the advantage of seeing the internal code so he would know better than me. However, my comments come from multiple conversations with Bob Carten, who is using ADO to create the OpenInsight SQL Connector. Here is a comment he sent…
  • Jim, I cannot tell you if performance is faster. I think all of this goes through the same API sooner or later. ADO is just more flexible and is the solution Microsoft is promoting again after they came to realize that OLE DB is not a viable altern…
  • Jim, One way to do this is to create an entry in SYSREPOSDATASOURCES programmatically. You will probably want to use the Repository function to do this as I am sure that XOInstance will use the Repository to get access to this record. The other wa…
  • Jim, We use XOInstance in our internal OpenInsight based billing application. In our case we connect to a MySQL database that support our web-based project management system (JIRA). We have a window that our developers use to pull down the JIRA wor…
  • HI Matt, Ah, shucks. I caught that bug and thought I had reported it before 2.7. Looks like it caught it just after the fact. So, I am working with the 2.7.1 release candidate now and I think these issues are solved. I do have a question for you r…
  • Just following up on this thread. The latest SRP Editor (v2.7 as of this comment) should be pulling up the correct URL for online based help. Let me know if you find this not to be the case.
  • Colin, I have not tested this, but does the BeforeUpdate event not aid you in this? Also, when you say AfterUpdate...seems its too late, in what way do you mean? Does the AfterUpdate not fire until after the CLOSE event of the form?
  • Colin, It seems that the main form is not triggering the Close event on the panel form, which is the issue here. Yes, that much we can expect based on the implementation Kevin was required to use (DestroyWindow). If there could be some event trig…
  • Kevin, Thank you for the clear explanation. It helps to understand the nature of the beast. I don't think Colin's embedded form was databound. His main issue is that the main form (which is either databound or simply employs a Save warning) is cau…
  • Kevin, In what way are you closing the embedded forms? Are you simply sending a CLOSE event, a WM_CLOSE message, or are you destroying the object? I am asking for two reasons: * If the embedded form has the ability to intercept the close request …
  • Colin, Okay, this was easy to replicate and I concur that the pre-system CLOSE event handler does close the embedded window within the SRP Panel control. I am curious if this also affects forms that are embedded with SRP ShortcutBar controls as wel…
  • Colin, I will have to test this to see it happening and then figure out how to proceed. Your code has me curious. What is the purpose of the ReturnState variable? I don't see anywhere where this gets changed.
  • Colin, Just so I am clear on your configuration, you used the SetForm method to add an OI form onto an SRP Panel control? That seems clear enough but I wanted to confirm. Unless there is some underlying connection I am unaware of between the Panel…
  • Mark, What you are essentially doing is rolling out your own control viz-a-viz a combination of other controls and relying upon the SRP Panel control to be your host. In princple this is conceptually the same concept as the way the Form Designer's …
  • Colin, Ahhhhh...I see. Yes, @Window would have been the form which is itself subclassed into the Panel control. I think it just never occurred to me that the event handler is coming from parent form of the Panel control. This is why I was surprised…
