Colin, Within your application, what is in @Window and what is in ParentWindow?
-
Colin, My guess is that the modal dialog is more successful because it suspends the calling process and keeps everything under tight control. What bothers me is that simply calling a modeless dialog can result in this behavior. In my mind, what is …
-
Colin, I am somewhat relieved that even Msg(), especially when called as an Up Banner message, has the same problem. This tells me the problem is universal with modeless dialog boxes. I realize a modal dialog box defeats the purpose for what you n…

Colin, I truly appreciate your willingness to jump through these hoops. It wouldn't surprise me if you asked yourself the question, Why doesn't Don just test this himself? The simple answer is, I don't have an application handy with the SRP Panel c…

Colin, My apologies. You said the form was closed but I overlooked that comment while I was responding. What happens if you close the form manually? What about using End_Window?
-
Colin, I get that this works fine when you do not launch this from the SRP Panel control so I am not questioning your technique. I do want to better understand the intent So if you don't mind I am going to ask a few clarifying questions: * You a…

Mark, The answer to the first question is easy: yes, databinding is retained. The SRP Panel control was created originally to satisfy a requirement for a project that needed to display several databound controls within a scrollable panel. We were e…

Guys, Your ongoing comments, and patience, is appreciated. Please know that we are going to look into this carefully ASAP. As you both know the conference is this week and our team has had to focus on getting ready for it. I have already discussed …
-
Colin, I really appreciate the time you have taken to post your code. I am surprised that making the panel controls invisible is actually helping. However, if you wanted to make them invisible in the first place, why not make them invisible in the …
-
Colin, Setting the SIZE property will cause a window to become visible. However, I do not know if loading the form in the panel control is causing this this happen as you suggested. This might be a fruitless pursuit, but I am still curious about t…
-
Colin, Am I correct that all three panel controls are on the same window and you put the form in the panel during the CREATE event of this window? If so, is this window visible or invisible when the CREATE event is firing?
-
Colin, I am not as well versed with the SRP Panel control so I suspect another member on my team will respond. However, I am curious, do you have the parent window (i.e., the ones with the SRP Panel controls) invisible at design time? If not, what …
-
Colin, I will look into this and get back to you. We do not use the SRP Panel control internally very much, but we have some customers who are doing marvelous things with it. Hopefully they can also respond with their own experience.
-
James, Have you considered rolling out your own OnMouseExit event? Your idea is sound, but I am not sure when we can add this feature at this point in time. We have used the WM_SETCURSOR WinAPI to trap mouse movement through the entire application.…
-
Barry, No, just SRPControls.ocx. That is the main point of our There Can Be Only One blog article from a few months ago. If you happen to use the SRP Editor then you will also need to register SRPUtil.ocx. But SRPUtil.ocx is never used within an a…

Chris, Did you read Kevin's last response? Did you send him an RDK he can use to test with?
-
You need to set it up on the Terminal Server side. Win 2008 Terminal Server forces 16-bit color depth, regardless of how the client side RDP is setup. We are going to do a write-up on this, but it won't be ready for a day or two. In the meantime, yo…
-
Chris, I don't think we need any more information at this time. Your circumstances mimic our other incident report identically. In this other customer's case, he does have a Win2008 server which works and another one which does not work. We are try…
-
Chris, I believe your problem is different from Mark's but it sounds very similar to a problem that was recently reported to us by another customer. All fingers point to Terminal Server. Are you using any other SRP controls on your forms that displ…
-
Chris, Technically I'm sure this is possible. We've added similar events to other controls. That said, I'm sure you realize we are getting this control ready to be officially released and moved out of BETA. New features like an OnHover event would…
-
Chris, Screenshot? I haven't used Windows 7 since 8 came out so I'm having a hard time visualizing what you are describing. Are you referring to the Windows 7 start menu or are you really talking about Excel's own ability to show a MRU list?
-
Chris, I think I need more details on how you are collecting version details related to the SRP Ribbon control. Are you sure you are referencing the CtrlEndID for the SRP Ribbon control correctly? Are you using @Window or the window that the SRP Ri…
-
Chris, Using an OLE event to close a form, especially the last form, of an application is usually problematic. Perhaps you are encountering something unique to the SRP Ribbon control, but what you are describing is a common problem with any OLE con…
-
Ariel, I am very happy that this worked out well with the official control. By the way, previously you had mentioned the Popup working every time. I assume by that you meant the SRP Popup control. This would make sense because the SRP Popup contr…
-
Mark, Kevin will have to respond on his end but I am curious, does hovering the mouse over the area not force a redraw?
-
Chris, You may want to start storing your XML init strings into separate records, not unlike the way the Banded Report Writer stores report layouts. You could also define it as an INSERT if you want to keep it in SYSPROCS and simply strip off the h…
-
Ummm...you going to leave us in suspense?
-
Mark, Just some ideas for an entire record: * Last modified details (date, time, user) could apply * Permission status (read-only, full-write) * Printed status (True, False) * Posted status (Pending, Posted, Archived) If you are navigating …
-
Mark, I likely read your FlickerFree comment and walked away with a misunderstanding. We have seen an implementation of the Ribbon control where form data is being displayed in the Ribbon control itself and we think that is stretching the bounds of…
-
If I placed a Ribbon control in an MDI Frame, I would still launch MDI Child forms using another control (like the ShortcutBar) and then the Ribbon control would be configured for the currently active MDI Child. Mark, I need to revisit this comme…
