Programming / ERR option ignored
« on: July 20, 2022, 10:42:32 AM »
For a few weeks we encounter a strange error 65 every now and then, when our programs create a COM object.
According to Eric we should check for the object reference > 0. But I wonder why the err option is ignored in these cases.
Code: [Select]
ON_CREATE:
def object outlook, "[LCL]Outlook.Application", err = *next
if not(tcb(2)) then nameSpace = outlook'getNameSpace("MAPI")
returnThis has been a save way ever since. On the WindX side MSG(-1) returns "Exception occured (err/ret=2/0)"According to Eric we should check for the object reference > 0. But I wonder why the err option is ignored in these cases.

Nomads / redefining keys
« on: February 24, 2022, 07:25:45 AM »
I removed kno #2 and #3 from a file and added a new kno #2. After a click on "Update File" that kno has the name of the old kno #2.
The segment notation is correct but the name is wrong. How can I get rid of it?

Programming / taskbar location and size
« on: September 29, 2021, 09:16:12 AM »
How can I retrieve the location and size of the taskbar?
I can determine the current monitor with fin(0,"XYMonitors") and obj(0). But a call to *winapi;getMonitorInfo only seems to work for monitor #1.

Wish List / construct popup menu
« on: April 19, 2021, 05:58:42 AM »
In some programs we use user data in popup menus. In order to avoid an error 87 we strip out/replace all theses characters: [{,}]
This often leads to disscussions concerning the wrong display of their data.
Can you please allow for escaping these characters or provide an up to date API for constructing a menu?

Wish List / lock file only if required
« on: April 01, 2021, 02:20:06 AM »
During our updates we use "*dict/dd_updt;UPDATE_PHYSICAL" in order to keep the files in sync with the current DD. Every now and then that tool reports a file in use, though that file doesn't need to be converted.
Wouldd it be possible to lock the file only if there is a need to convert it?

Programming / tab size in multilines
« on: February 03, 2021, 08:40:22 AM »
We convert tabs ($09$) to a number of spaces in textblocks comming from multilines with a height>1. Prior PxPlus 2019 the tab size has been 8 blanks. With PxPlus 2019 the tab size has changed to another amount of blanks(?). If I'm connected to a customer's server, then I have a tab size of 6. Some users of that customer have a tab size of 4 on the same server and in the same program. I cannot see any tab size property, so that must be a user setting.
Is there a way to set the tab size or can I query that value somewhere?

Programming / representation of unicode characters
« on: August 19, 2020, 10:06:43 AM »
A customer expects "B%C3BCchse" for the german word "Büchse" e.g. This looks like an URL encoded UTF8 character. So I gave it a try, but had no luck so far. This is what I tried:
Code: [Select]
thing$="Büchse"
thingUTF8$=cvs(thing$,"ASCII:UTF8")
print hta(thingUTF8$), " OK"
thingURL$=cvs(thingUTF8$,"UTF8:URL")
print hta(thingURL$)," nOK"
print thingURL$
Is there a way to do it with CVS()?

Wish List / prevent error 65 in *obj/xml
« on: August 18, 2020, 09:55:41 AM »
It is very laborious to ask for the existance of a node, if the logic must be able to deal with the missing value:
xml'find_node("missing/node")'value$
As mid($$,4,5) doesn't throw an error 47, I would prefer to get an empty string in this case, too.
xml'find_node("missing/node")'value$

Nomads / h-scrollbar in listbox
« on: May 05, 2020, 04:32:10 AM »
Is there a way to tell a listbox of type "Standard" to use h-scrollbars if required?
I have set the attribute "Enable Scrolling", but that doesn't change anything.
The type "Report View" is not an option.
