  • Jim, I will attempt to duplicate using the essence of your code, but I still recommend setting valid to false$. This is rather important in FrameWorks due to the promoted event architecture.
  • James, I am pretty certain that the fact this form is multi-instance is a red herring, but for the sake of discussion, why do you think it is relevant? Would you mind posting the relevant code in your OnClick event here? Also, if you swapped the P…
  • James, In addition to Kevin's question and comment, I have two questions: * What is the nature of the crash? That is, is this OpenInsight crashing on the desktop or is this causing a runtime error? * Is there a reason you aren't using Post_Event…
  • Mark, I think you are referring to this thread. Later on this was referenced and further discussed in this thread. I think I am starting to see a need for a new blog article here...

  • Ahhh...shucks. Hoping for the easy kill there. :-D Okay, so let's address this more seriously. A ding does not always mean an error condition. In fact, with OLE controls it more often means "the engine is busy". My guess is that there is logic exec…

  • Mark, Just set the Mute property to True$, like so: Set_Property(CtrlEntId, 'OLE.Mute', True$) Send_Message(CtrlEntId, 'OLE.Close') Will that work for you?

  • Colin, Just for my own curiosity (Kevin will have to respond to the technical issues), what happens if you use the same form in each pane?
  • Brad, The thread that I think you are referring to trailed off without proper closer. Honestly, when we found the problem we were not even trying to resolve that issue...it was another issue we were looking into. So it is possible that we need to g…
  • Brad, What version of the control are you using (either the SRP ShortcutBar or the SRP Controls Pro)? I think you are experiencing a problem that has been reported elsewhere in the discussion forum and we finally resolved as of v3.0.5 of the SRP Sh…
  • Hi Don, That is on our wish list. As many of our customers know, about half of our controls are written from scratch and the other half are based on a toolkit from Codejock. In the latter case, we have to work harder to implement some of our our te…
  • Mark, Thanks for giving this a test. We have been able to do some additional testing in-house as well. There have not been enough tests for me to make a firm conclusion about this, but so far no one running Windows XP or Windows 8 have experienced …
  • Mark, I just wanted to acknowledge your post and thank you for your diligent explanation of the issue. We will look into this as soon as possible (we are a bit preoccupied at the moment). By the way, do you know if this had worked in a previous ve…
  • Bryan, This is starting to sound familiar to me. Please remind me what version of OI you are working with and what version of the SRP ShortcutBar you have. Thanks.
  • Bryan, I'm having a hard time following your explanation of what is happening. However, issues like this typically occur due to tab order problems. I assume the ShortcutBar control is set to be on all pages, correct? Does it matter what the OnClick…
  • Hi James, Glad to hear that things are working for you most of the time. :-) I'm seeing your setup in my mind's eye but there are some missing pieces. I assume that the logic which closes the ORYXOLE_CALENDAR dialog is the same whether you click o…
  • Jan, Think of the ExecuteCmd property like a QuickEvent. It is intended to be a way to conveniently launch commands (like website addresses) without you having to write a lot of code. Normally you would update the ExecuteCmd property during the CRE…
  • Hi Jan, I think I understand what is happening here. The ExecuteCmd property is designed so that when you click on the HyperLink control it will execute the command automatically without using the OnClick event. That is, the ExecuteCmd property and…
  • Colin, That is an excellent suggestion...and by that comment I am confirming that there is no property or method that will do this for you. I will consult with my developer on the feasibility of adding this but it might not be until next week as he…
  • Colin, I can see how that got confusing. FWIW, I often use the border checkbox myself for OLE controls that do not display any UI during design time. Otherwise it is hard to visually place the control on the form. I look forward to seeing a screen…
  • Colin, By any chance do you have the Border checkbox in the control properties window checked?
  • Kevin, Actually, for expediency purposes, this is how I was setting the properties for my tests. Would you like me to switch to code to see if my background works differently?
  • Colin, Agreed on the purpose for discussing these issues on the wiki. Glad you recognize that. Would you be willing to post a screen shot of what this looks like on your end? It might help us to understand what is happening with you a little bette…
  • Kevin, Okay, we will have to compare systems in a team meeting because I still cannot get it to work the same way as you.
  • Kevin, I just did this in SYSPROG to avoid all FrameWorks/Promoted Event interference and get the same results as above. I hate to ask this question, but did you test this on your end with the SRP Tab control set to a negative height (like -6) and …
  • That was my original assumption (thus is why I was asking Colin the same thing) but when I have the SRP Tab control being used with AllowXPTheme turned on I get the following: The splitter is very wide to make it easy to spot.
  • Kevin, Then what is the best way to make the SRP Splitter control invisible when we are using the SRP Tab control to draw the background?
  • Colin, This works for me for the most part so I have a few questions: * What version of the SRPSplitter.ocx are you using? I am using 2.0.1 * Are you doing something specific to the background of the window? I am just curious why you are not set…
  • James, For reasons we do not fully understand, but have some slight suspicions, the StatusBar control and on occasion the ShortcutBar control tend to "disappear" as you described when one of the following conditions occur: * You upgrade the contr…
  • Jim, This is what the Progress Marque pane type is meant for. It does not behave exactly as you describe but it does follow the standard behavior of a statusbar that is only mean to indicate activity. Will this work for you?
  • Mark, The only consistent problem has been with the SRP StatusBar control. However, any control with new properties should, in theory, be problematic. I have a vague recollection of one other control exhibiting a similar behavior. Unfortunately I c…
