Nomads / Re: Hotlink Logic
« on: October 04, 2019, 02:26:14 PM »
James,
Documentation up to this point has lumped listviews and reportviews together.
I do know, however, that the upcoming PxPlus 2020 documentation for the various types of listboxes and their properties has been reorganized for enhanced usability, separating listboxes, listviews, reportviews and treeviews.

In your OnChange logic for the listbox, you can check the 'ColumnClicked property of the listbox to check if the column that was clicked is the one with the hyperlink. If so, you can parse out the column value from the current listbox value, and do your processing.

Nomads / Re: Right Click on Grid
« on: September 05, 2019, 09:49:45 AM »In the manual in the List Box and Grid System Popup Menu section, about half way down it explains how to attach the popup menu and its individual features to events other than the right-click popup event:
https://manual.pvxplus.com/page/NOMADS%20Graphical%20Application/Creating%20Panel%20Controls/Popup%20Menu/List%20Box%20and%20Grid%20System%20Popup%20Menu.htm
So your button logic would be something like:
Popup_Ctlval =ctl_val ! the ctl value of the associated list/grid control
Popup_Select =4 ! print option
PERFORM "*plus/winutl/listpopup;Popup_Menu"

Here's a quick guess:
The LOCAL tmp$ variable at 1505 is being created every time through the loop. Try creating it before entering the loop and just set it to "" at 1505. Alternately make Check_Fields a separate routine and GOSUB to it to make tmp$ local to the routine.

Nomads / Re: Formatted Report Style LIST_BOX in *NOMADS
« on: July 04, 2019, 09:45:52 AM »
Lawrence,
Since the Nomads Designer interface is the same on Windows and Linux (running WindX), I am going to assume the difference in the Nomads Designer on your system is probably due to running two different versions. In v12 we revamped the listbox interface to make it easier to define Report View listboxes, allowing you to select it as a list box type on the Display tab. Prior to that, to define a Report View listbox, you had to select List View as the listbox type on the Display tab, then go to the Attributes tab and check the List view with report format option. The Format button on the Attributes tab allowed you to specify headings and column widths.
There is also a Formatted listbox type, but it does not have column headings.

If you can reproduce it, it would be great if you could go to our Helpdesk system at:
https://helpdesk2.pvxplus.com/
Create a ticket and for the issue and supply a before and after version of the file (with a few records) so we can duplicate the issue here.
This would be greatly appreciated.

When you change the iolist as you have, the Update File process starts by offering you three update options:
- Convert Existing data - This would rewrite your data based on the prior/new data dictionaries. You would lose the Typ and Marker fields, as well as their data
- Clear existing data - This would purge the data from the file
- Rewrite data dictionary only - This would rewrite the internal file dictionary, but not touch the data, so the old data would now align with the new fields.

Thin Client/WindX / Re: WindX issue with custom title bar forms over VPN
« on: May 03, 2019, 02:46:00 PM »
Jeff,
The likely cause of the behaviour you see is that the panels are using 'Full screen drag'.
If the custom title bar is defined with one of the Frame styles that has no caption, then there is no Windows caption bar, and therefore no way to move the panel around. Therefore the 'Full screen drag' option is turned on so the panel can be moved.
To avoid full screen drag, you must define the Frame style of the custom title bar panel as 'Thick border with caption' which will display the Windows caption bar which you can drag.
If you use the 'Default' frame style, the type is unknown so full screen drag is turned on even though the Windows caption bar may be displayed.

Programming / Re: error 88 with sizer buttons
« on: February 08, 2019, 11:30:44 AM »
Thomas,
First, the error 88 occurs because Sizer buttons support a very limited list of properties, including:
BringToTop,Col,Cols,CtlName,Enabled,Height,hWnd,Key,Left,Line,Lines,LookAndFeel,MaxValue,MinValue,ObjectID,OnTipCtl,Parent,Top,Visible,Width,
Second, with WindX you're in turbo mode, so not all errors are reported.
See: https://manual.pvxplus.com/page/windx/turbo.htm

Christian,
The information you have supplied is not sufficient to determine what happened, as we don't know how you have set up your various directories or what responses you gave to the to the dialogues, or whether anything was actually imported into the repository. I suggest that it would be better to address this through the Helpdesk.

Programming / Re: draw button as empty rectangle
« on: January 10, 2019, 11:37:22 AM »
The application of theme/visual class attributes to controls is rather entrenched in the Nomads logic. You would have to set up a number of variables (as if you had read a record from the screen library file), and then perform the *winproc.dfs program to get the new settings, then you would have to apply all the settings. I expect it would just be easier to use controls on a Nomads panel.

Nomads / Re: Centering in a query

Sorry, Ed, but as I mentioned, this was added to PxPlus 2018. Your image is from a previous version.

As of PxPlus 2018, you can align data in a query column as Default, Left, Center and Right justification. The Default setting for text values is Left justification and Right justification for numeric values.
Select a column, and in the Column Option interface the Alignment setting is next to the column Width setting.

Wish List / Re: define query button bitmap by expression
« on: November 15, 2018, 09:42:05 AM »
Thomas,
We have already added the ability to specify either a fixed value or expression as the bitmap for an individual query in PxPlus 2019 (Version 16). This new feature extends to defining the query bitmap for a query assigned to a multi-line or a grid cell (in grid Presets). It is also available when creating a multi-line Data Class.
