Nomads / Drop_Box not Auto-Signalling
« on: December 10, 2020, 01:35:12 PM »
We're upgrading from v13.10 to v17.10. Our standard printer selection window has several DROP_BOXes on it. They are marked with "Signal on Exit" and "Automatic (Signal All Changes)". On v13.10, when a key is pressed to select an option, the on-Select Logic is triggered. Not so on v17.10. We have to actually exit the control. Has there been a change? Is there a setting I'm missing?
Thanks, all!

Programming / Re: Text Viewer
« on: December 02, 2020, 04:58:50 PM »
Evidently, PxPlus now ships with Gord's Print Preview as the standard driver selected for *viewer*. There doesn't seem to be any property controlling text copy capabilities. Copying/saving of [PDF] files, yes; text, no.
I think I found the viewer driver you were mentioning. It has 4 zoom levels, and allows copying to the clipboard - of the entire file. There is no select+copy. With some work, though, I can probably get that going, as well as some different zoom controls.
Thanks for pointing this out. I thought there was something like this around.
Not sure if the PDF/View option would be viable in our situation. I can review that, too.

Stay safe!

Programming / Text Viewer
« on: December 01, 2020, 06:54:32 PM »
Since migrating from BBx a couple of years ago, the users on the system love the Viewer. However, they hate that they can't copy text from the viewer to paste into Excel, Word, whatever.

Does anyone have any insights into a text-oriented Viewer alternative that would allow that? Currently, we're only outputting basic text (with some occasional bold modifiers); no 'text' or other mnemonics.

Thanks, all!

Registration and Setup / WindX Version
« on: October 15, 2020, 12:50:40 PM »
We're upgrading from PxPlus v13.10 on Linux Redhat 5 to v17 (with a temporary serial#) on Redhat 7, which is on a completely new server. On my client PC, I've got WindX clients installed for v14.00.0001, 15.00.0000, and 17.00.0000. I'm connecting to the new server using SimpleCS through a .windx file. When I check tcb(88), I get 13, not 17.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Nomads / Excluding a Tab from a Folder Programmatically
« on: October 14, 2020, 06:16:29 PM »
Is there a way to prevent a tab on a folder from being created based on Pre-Display factors? Example: Prevent the tab from being created based on whether contingent files exist. If the file(s) exist, create the tab, else skip it.
Thanks!

v13.10 almost on v17

Has anyone else seen this behavior with icons and .windx link files?

One other thing I'm noticing:

While PxPlus seems to read the pxplus.ini file from the location of the .windx file, icon specification is inconsistent. The shortcut to the .windx file specifies our logo .ico file, which is in the local *lib/bmp folder. That is what we see on the shortcut. It is also what is specified in the pxplus.ini file, which appears on the window caption. However, when we create a dialogue with opt="i", we're getting a PxPlus icon (attached) on the Windows taskbar instead of our logo. Dropping opt="i" puts the correct logo on the caption and the taskbar.

We want to be sure the correct icon shows up whether we include it on the caption or not. Don't want the users confused. Any suggestions/insights?

Got it.

Now... about pxplus.ini.

If I set up a .windx file, WindX looks for the pxplus.ini file in that directory, and will create it if it doesn't exist. However, once it actually determines which version of PxPlus to run, it doesn't look like it updates anything that may have been changed (window position, etc.), whether in the .windx file directory, or the ultimate pxplus.exe directory. When we set up a new client PC, we'll need to know where to drop our initial pxplus.ini file and know it will have any updates done properly.

Thanks!

Devon:
Thanks for the clarification. I'm so used to only working with server-side programs, the fact that "launcher" was client-side only didn't click. I've got the Connection Manager running now, though I'm not yet sure how much it will do for us in the future.

Mike:
It's just taken a little time to wrap my head around some of the ways the process works. I've read through it multiple times, but until I actually saw it "in action", I wasn't getting it. With the Connection Manager "connection", I think we've got something that will keep us going.
The web shortcut sounds intriguing, but would require a LOT of additional work on our end to get the registries updated, etc. Going with a desktop shortcut to the .windx file looks like the quickest, easiest, and most direct route.

Thanks, all, for the help!

Registration and Setup / Link File Extensions

I noticed the manual page on Link File Extensions that may help us in future upgrades. We're in the process of a big upgrade from v13 (*nthost/*ntslave) to v17 (SimpleCS), with a server simultaneous upgrade. Having about 100 user PCs across the country, we'd like to minimize the manual intervention needed, at least in the future.

Has anyone used this feature? Does is work well for you? The page also mentions the WindX Connection Manager, with a link to usage instructions, but I don't see how to launch it. Pointers?

Thanks all!

Programming / Piped character count
« on: September 03, 2020, 02:51:17 PM »
While we can get where we are when outputing to a serial file by checking KEC() for the file, is there a way to determine how many characters have been sent to a piped channel? If I open (ch)"|process_prog...", can I know how much went out before I close (ch)?

Thanks!

The error is in *winproc at 2251:
2251 %nomads'class'ID$=_OBJ_CLASS$ ! needs to be set whether there is a value or not

%nomads is defined.
%nomads'class is defined.
%nomads'class'ID$ is NOT defined.

Hope this helps.

Nomads / Upgrading
« on: September 01, 2020, 11:29:59 AM »
We're (finally!) upgrading our system from PxPlus v13 to v17. Much of what we have is still legacy character-based. However, the panels we have developed seem to throw Error #88 most of the time. I know there were some changes over the versions. Is there something we need to do to get things working right?

Language / CREATE FILE across [WDX]
« on: August 20, 2020, 10:38:49 AM »
I've tried to use CREATE FILE across a WindX connection, but it doesn't seem to work:

Code: [Select]
create file "[wdx]C:\Users\James\Documents\Foo.pdf" from "/tmp/Foo.pdf"
generates Error #12. If I open the file and try:

Code: [Select]
create file "[wdx]C:\Users\James\Documents\Foo.pdf" from (1)
it generates Error #13.

I'm guessing that this is not part of the current design. If not, could it be considered for the future?
