Programming / Signature capture
« on: July 21, 2021, 11:43:08 AM »
I have installed the latest version of providex. Version 18 I believe. I am trying to use the signature capture control in nomads trying to follow the documentation. Here are some issue I have encountered
1) the Signature box appears but the the 4 buttons do not.
2) I can draw in the box but the stylus does not work.
3) not sure how to grab and store the image for use latter.
As Monty Python once said any help would be helpful.

Programming / LIST OF OBJECTS
« on: May 27, 2020, 04:15:43 PM »
I have an old XP machine where I can enter DEF OBJECT X, "[WDX]*" and get a long list of objects I can connect to.
On a windows 7 machine the list is far shorter and I don't see the one I need. I have tried to re-register the OCX to no avail.
Any tips on register an OCX for use with WINDX.

Thin Client/WindX / TELNET LOGIN ISSUE
« on: April 23, 2020, 05:37:38 PM »
I have an issue where from time to time windx using a telnet connection to a linux machine fails to get the login prompt. The line which states the machine name etc appears fine.
If I use a generic telnet program it works fine every time.
Very odd issue any ideas where to start to look?

Programming / Interact with external web sites
« on: February 27, 2020, 10:54:07 AM »
Is there a was to connect with external websites from a PVX program?
Lets say I wanted to connect to the weather channel and get a copy of the screen.
Is it possible to do this via a program? I am not interested in the graphical parts just the text parts that I can parse thru.
For example I can manually do this by googling weather milwaukee. Then highlighting the parts I want. Then copy. Then paste into notepad. then save on the server. See attached file. My program can then parse that data for what I need.
I would like to automate it.

Programming / Command line interface
« on: February 07, 2020, 03:48:01 PM »
I have programed an interface to a linux utility. I utilizes a simple character based interface.
I now want to use this same logic on a windows server. When I execute the code the process seems to lock up.
What I think is going on is the process is running and waiting for input from me except there is a disconnect of some sort between my process and my screen. This is using the app server setup. When I check with task manager on the server it shows the utility is running.
I use syntax like this to execute it.
10 A$="\vbasic\clickit -test \tmp\testfile"
20 a=sys(a$)
Perhaps there is a better way to interact with this utility.
Any thoughts anybody?

Programming / viewer display
« on: December 27, 2019, 12:45:33 PM »
The viewer seems to change the display of the report at random. The first couple of pages appear normal then the next couple appear as if the test is highlighted.
Normal is black text on a white back ground.
Highlighted is white text with a black black ground but only in the space allowed for the text. The rest of the report is white.
If I page up and down thru the report page 2 which was normal is now highlighted.
Any ideas?

Programming / ERROR 46 PRINTING TO A PDF PRINTER
« on: December 28, 2018, 11:36:31 AM »
I get an error 46 when printing to a PDF printer. This happens on remote windx workstations. and only once in a while. But when it happens it happens all the time.
I can run the same print job from my workstation and all is well. It seems to print at least 1 full page and then error. The errors occur on a heading line with a 'cr' at the end of it.
Does anybody have a clue what might be happening?

Programming / ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE
« on: October 31, 2018, 03:15:10 PM »
Is there any way to change the path environment variable from PVX.
From the CMD prompt I can use PATH %path%;c:\joesdir\ to add to the path.
I would like to do this in my program.
I have tried Invoke ("PATH %path%;c:\joesdir\") which does not work
I have tried it in a .BAT file, no luck either.

Programming / system_help
« on: July 19, 2018, 11:48:38 AM »
system_help seems to be able to do a lot of things. Start email client, start a spread sheet, etc. Can it display an image? I tried system_help "[wdx]/tmp/image001.bmp" and it did nothing.
Any other ideas to fire up the default program for a file on the windows machine?
