Nomads / Re: Blended File Definitions
« on: July 31, 2020, 02:02:58 AM »
Take a look at "Utilities / Import Dictionary".
It adds the fields of the selected file description to your current description. Afterwards you just need to delete the doubled fieldnames.

I like koenv's suggestions.
No one knows what features the users see in the current behaviour. Though I like to turn that option on by default, we must be able to turn it off again.

I think we're suffering from the same problem. Users like to paste east european addresses, because they can't type these special characters on the keyboard. But this is just a visual solution.
What about a runtime parameter, which tells PxPlus to apply cvs(data$,16) itself upon pasting into a multiline? Could that be a way?

Thin Client/WindX / Re: Does ObjectID user object function over WindX?
« on: May 07, 2020, 02:20:10 AM »
Jeff,
As long as you want to delegate the life time to PxPlus you can use "for control" in the new function.
We do a lot of instantiations in the post create logic like this:

Code: [Select]
myObj = new("myClass", id for control id)This doesn't reduce network traffic, but you can improve the API of any control with your classes.

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.

Programming / Re: how to scan GS1 barcodes
« on: April 14, 2020, 03:32:35 AM »
Thank you Mike.
The separator byte is $1D$. So the next question is how to integrate this into a GUI? Is there a way to set a multiline to raw mode?

Programming / Re: how to scan GS1 barcodes
« on: April 09, 2020, 10:10:21 AM »
We tried an INPUT A$ with a GS1 barcode consisting of three fields. The scanner always sent three inputs, no matter what we tried. In console mode the first one was assigned to A$ and the next two caused syntax errors of course. An INUT A$,B$,C$ didn't help, because the inputs did not correspond to the fields. A multilined mulit_line doesn't help either.

Programming / how to scan GS1 barcodes
« on: April 09, 2020, 04:55:15 AM »
Does someone know how to scan a GS1 barcode with multiple fields?
The scanner seems to insert some control bytes as field separators which are stripped by a multiline control.

Wish List / *plus/jrnl/send and *plus/jrnl/apply
« on: March 25, 2020, 04:56:42 AM »
We would like to configure a cleanup logic for deprecated journal files.
Currently these files are never erased. A journal change is a good point of time to look for outdated journals. The apply process can also clean up when it goes idle the first time each day.

Nomads / Re: delete items from a listbox with <DEL>
« on: March 20, 2020, 02:41:42 AM »
As it turns out it is the automatic flag, which consumes $2E$.

Nomads / Re: delete items from a listbox with <DEL>
« on: March 19, 2020, 10:29:39 AM »
There is no event for <DEL> in the listbox. _EOM$ doesn't report anything though the control is set to 'automatic' 
I'll work with ctL=_-1007. That looks promising after the first tests.
Thank you both.

Nomads / delete items from a listbox with <DEL>
« on: March 19, 2020, 09:52:04 AM »
I'm looking for a way to support the <DEL> key in listboxes.
Many users want to delete items from a list by pressing <DEL> as they can do it in a mail client and explorer.
Is there a way to do this?

Language / Re: System function NUM()
« on: March 12, 2020, 04:37:16 AM »
The NUM function ignores TH and DP. That is what the documentation says. Example #2 exactly shows that.
We had to deal with this in the past as well. And it took a noticable amount of time to find the reason for our huge results.
The real question is:
Who/What passes decimal values written in national notation to your program? That is quite uncommon.

ODBC / pathnames in SQL selects
« on: February 27, 2020, 09:11:40 AM »
Is there a way to use pathnames in SQL select statements when using the PxPlus ODBC driver and if not, can you add this to the wishlist please?
We use pseudo definitions in the DD, which serve as creation patterns for hundreds of files. Each of them has an iol, but none of them has an own name in the DD.
