Hello all,

I'am puzzeld. We are, sadly, leaving pxplus behind for a ERP in Business Central. To keep access to our old pxplus files I purchased a 2 user pxplus windows licence. Now I am trying to get selected parts of out present programs working in windows.
Now I'm experiencing something crazy. Under the old version 12.500000 I don’t get a error 65 when I create an existing window element multiple times. Also no error when making it visible, hide etc.
Under windows (version 20.100000) I do get an error 65. See Attachment.
Maybe I changed some in our old software at some point. I don't remember what, though. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.

Using PxP 2022. My question concerns formatting of data in numeric cells in a grid. In Format Definition, I assign a numeric variable name to my column; e.g. Cost. In my supporting program, I set the cost's format mask with

let detail_box.ctl'Column$="Cost",detail_box.ctl'row=0, detail_box.ctl'cellformat$="######0.00-"

In the PxP documentation, the CellFormat property redirects to the documentation about multi-line Fmt$ property, which says "Before being output, the number is rounded to the number of decimal places specified in the format mask." But when I test, it truncates, not rounds. (By the way, the incoming value does not exceed the mask.)

Is there a correct way of having numeric grid cell data round instead of truncate?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the input.
I have not used line numbers in my code in many years, so changing line numbers doesn't bother me at all.  I also haven't used ED+ in many years, but I'll check it out and see if I can make use of it.  I really don't want to have to load individual programs to reformat them.  I would prefer to be able to process a whole folder full of source text at once.

Josh, you might want to check out the Eclipse plug-in.  Notepad++ is a good editor, but Eclipse is a full-featured integrated development environment which you can use at no cost.  With the plug-ins available (https://eclipse.sagemas.com) you get a decent editor and the ability to decompile programs, recompile with error flagging, a to-do list, very sophisticated search tool, integration to SVN or Git and much more.  You can automatically save your programs, classes and libraries to multiple locations such as a project space and a test system.

I'll let y'all know if I write something to format or if I figure out how to automate the existing ED+ tool.

Mike/Phil,

If I remember correctly with ED+, applications and programs that use line numbers would renumber not maintaining the original line numbers.  It's been a long while since I tried utilizing ED+ but it was too cumbersome to use with the application I modify and maintain.

I would LOVE to see an add-on to either Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code (Preferred) for PxPlus.

Has anyone out there written a source code formatter for PXPlus programs?  I use Eclipse with a plug-in developed and maintained by Fred McGuirk.  It does a great job of decompiling PXPlus programs into text source, but it does not attempt to do any pretty formatting.  I am considering writing a tool to do the formatting (i.e. remove LET, replace "THEN" with "{", indent IF and loop constructs, etc).  I don't want to write it if someone else has already done so.
