Programming / Dialogue Create Failure
« on: November 14, 2018, 10:55:09 AM »
Here's an interesting one: I've been creating a working command window on my 1920x1080 screen using:
It works fine, but no menu bar. When I change the opt= to "-cMX", I get an Error message box window stating only "Create failure". However, it does seem to be partly created, as the cursor is now at the top of the creating window, but nothing is erased, and nothing echoes when typed, though the cursor moves. Popping the window returns me to where I started.
Any ideas?

Code: [Select]
print 'dialogue'(66,16,82,25,"Work Window",opt="-cX"),'show'(1),'sr','cs','black','_white','cs','df','black','_white','cs','df',It works fine, but no menu bar.

That's an interesting approach, though I would probably make it a global object that's established on login without any dependencies. That way, we don't have to instantiate it when we want to use it; that's already done.
Also, to Thomas Bock's request, I might suggest an 'Assign (and possibly 'Assign$) method to use the first argument as the value to assign to the remaining list. I'm sure we can figure that part out from here.
Thanks for the different perspective!

And there's also binary bit-flag generation to consider:
Flag.1=1,Flag.2=2*Flag.1,Flag.3=2*Flag.2,Flag.4=2*Flag.3
Not quite sure how to "translate" that.
Perhaps an extension of the SET--- directives might work. E.g.,
SETFLAGS Flag.1,Flag.2,Flag.3,Flag.4,...
and for enumerations:
SETENUM Opt.1,Opt.2,Opt.3,Opt.4,...
Flag.1=1,Flag.2=2*Flag.1,Flag.3=2*Flag.2,Flag.4=2*Flag.3

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but have you looked into the Preserve Controls option on the Folder Tabs Definitions page?

Programming / Re: slow msgbox
« on: October 10, 2018, 10:25:20 AM »
I've seen slow objects on non-local clients. We have a couple of remote locations around the country that experience some delays with folders, etc. Those are typically about 1 second per additional WindX transaction.
The creation of a MSGBOX - depending on options - can be multiple transactions. The first is the creation of the window. The second may be using a 'CAPTION' to set the title.

Wish List / Enumeration Sequencing
« on: October 09, 2018, 11:39:30 AM »
There are times I'd like to have an ENUMeration-type directive available. I know the LET gets things done, but not having to repeat variable names would help.
E.g., instead of:
we would have something like:
Possibility?

Code: [Select]
Opt.1=1,Opt.2=Opt.1+1,Opt.3=Opt.2+1,Opt.4=Opt.3+1we would have something like:

Nomads / External-Only Data Elements
« on: October 08, 2018, 11:19:25 AM »
Since a NOMADS Data Element marked as External-Only is not supposed to take up space in the record, does it matter where in the list of data elements such a field is identified? Beginning, end, middle, mixed?
Thanks!
Thanks!

So there's no way to quote characters or strings? Nothing like "*star" or \*star ...?

« on: September 17, 2018, 05:33:32 PM »
I wanted to help someone understand what was available with *next, *same, etc. Unfortunately, when I type *next or "*next" into the Search For box, it responds:
Thanks!

Words in your query may not start with the wild-card characters "?" or "*".Can something be done to allow this type of entry for a search?
Thanks!

Even after cleaning up the double-processing of the turning off the RB's (see https://forum1.pvxplus.com/index.php?topic=150.0), I still can't seem to get the When Receiving Focus logic to fire (msgbox "Pre-Op"; perform ...).

Your code worked here, too, so I took it even SLOOOOOOWer...
It turns out I was calling the reset routine twice: first when a Button is clicked, and again when the Tab exits. The first one worked fine (it had a valid value set). The second one failed (No longer a valid value, so it Errored). This has been corrected.
Thank you for your insistence! (And assistance!)

Mike:
The Enable/Disable Control works perfectly. Thanks!
The null assignment, however, not so much. Yes, it does clear the RB's, but it also throws Error #65.
I've also tried setting the 'ID to 0, but not apparent effect.

Language / Radio Button Disabling
« on: August 23, 2018, 06:55:35 PM »
A couple of questions on this:
- Is it possible to Disable or Enable an entire Radio Button group with one statement, other than setting the group up in Group Assignment and using *wingrp?
- Is it possible to "uncheck" all of the Radio Buttons in a group once one of them has been selected?
