I tried using viewer but it does not work. I an using:
CHN=HFN; OPEN (CHN)"*VIEWER*"
PRINT (CHN)"TEST VIEWER"
CLOSE (CHN)
It does not do anything. It works fine on PovideX.
If I try *PDF* instead of *VIEWER* it does produces a PDF file.
Now I am using the demo version of PxPlus to convert the application (point of sale) before we go on production with a full version.
We are running windows 10/64.
I'd try using a viewer printer as you suggest.
Thank you.

Does pxplus has access to a *viewer* printer to display reports to screen instead of sending them to a printer?

Now, close(*) should no close the window as I have SET_PARAM 'WK' at the start of my program.
WK does not work even when launching PXPlus with -WK parameter.
Changed close (*) to close individual files and voila, it works!!!!

Found it!!!
I was issuing a CLOSE(*) before loading the list box. It looks like that under ProvideX, CLOSE(*) just closed the data files but not the library, but PxPlus does closed the library and therefore the panel. .CTL is no required.
Thank you for your help.

I get an error 65, meaning that the control is not found, and that can be because the panel containing it has not been drawn.
I call the panel using: PROCESS "mypanel","pos.en",COMPANY$
Before loading the panel performs "program1:init"
Then after loading it performs "program1:process_mylistbox"
Here is where I get the error. The statement on program1 is the one I have posted. Now the panel is loaded and therefore the list box should be accessible, but it is not.
Sorry to bother you.

Thank you for your prompt response.
I added .CTL to the list box name, but still no dice. The list box is part of a panel and defined as standard, COLUMN 1, ROW 1, WIDE 75, LENGTH 3. Nothing else as the list box is populated by the program after loading it. I even try to create a new panel with just the list box and still no dice, it gets stuck on LIST_BOX LOAD. What I have is:
LIST_BOX LOAD MY_LIST_BOX.CTL,1,"TITLE"
I know I will encounter some compatibility problems moving to PXPlus but right now this is my roadblock.
Thank you.

Programming / Loading Nomads defined list boxes
« on: March 28, 2021, 06:39:26 PM »
I am moving an application from Providex to PxPlus and I an stuck on loading a list box defined through Nomads.
In Providex I just use the directive:
LIST_BOX LOAD MY_LIST_BOX,1,"TITLE"
Where MY_LIST_BOX is defined in a Nomads screen with that control name. Providex finds the control and displays the list box.
I try the same on PxPlus and it fails. It does not find the control.
Is it there something I am missing? I looked at PxPlus documentation and it does not indicates how it works with Nomads.
Thanks in advance for your insight.

Programming / converting from providex to pxplus
« on: March 28, 2021, 12:02:42 PM »
I have an app running on Providex and as Providex is no longer supported I am looking at moving it to Pxplus. I have downloaded the demo version of PXplus and played with Nomads and so far I have found any compatibility problems. Is it there something I should be aware off? The apps is a point-of-sale program, nothing fancy about it, just the GUI, and the background programs. Thank you for your comments, guidance in advance.
