Nomads / Re: Hiding Query Columns
« on: July 31, 2020, 03:56:00 PM »
In this case, it would be based on the program being run, not the person running the program. From what it looks like, it will be easier to simply copy the query and add/remove columns we choose.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Nomads / Hiding Query Columns
« on: July 31, 2020, 12:47:41 PM »
Is there a way to programmatically Hide/Show specific Query columns? Rather than have 2 or more separate queries, we would like the program to be able to identify any columns different from standard.
Thanks!
Thanks!

That's exactly what I was looking for.

Nomads / Blended File Definitions
« on: July 30, 2020, 11:21:43 AM »
We're going through the process of upgrading our legacy system to modern times. WAY back, there was a field count limit to files, and we've still got a number of "master files" that are split between 2 or 3 actual files with similar names. We're defining each of these in the Nomads Data Dictionary.
When we do get to the point of being able to combine the component files into a single master file record, is there a way within Nomads to blend the files? E.g., Copy the primary Customer Master record to a new file, then add the fields from the secondary (and tertiary, etc.) file to the end of the new file. I know the fields can be copied out to the Global Dictionary and back in, but is there some other method that could preserve the field sequencing so we can minimize the manual intervention?
Thanks for your thoughts!

Programming / Re: error 288
« on: June 23, 2020, 12:41:14 PM »
Per the documentation:
Quote
Error #256 (and >256)When I print msg(288), I get "Broken pipe".
Operating System Errors
Any error message over 255 is a reported operating system error. PxPlus reports OS errors by taking the actual OS error number and adding 256.
Use the following requests to determine what these errors are:
PRINT MSG(error#) or PRINT MSG(RET)

Nomads / Re: copy and pasting from the internet

Perhaps the options can be either "stacked" (like Multi_Line Auto Fill) or in a Drop_Box (like Scrollbars) for individual variations from the defaults.

Language / Re: 'TEXT' mnemonic.
« on: May 26, 2020, 06:30:22 PM »
Have you tried setting/resetting the 'FONT' mnemonic with ",B"? According to the documentation, 'TEXT' is using the latest 'FONT' and Color attributes. The VIEWER is a program that may be giving you a "free ride" with the bolding of the 'TEXT'. It's reading and deciphering mnemonics to create the desired display. PDF doesn't interpret it quite the same way.

Language / Multiple PREFIXes
« on: May 26, 2020, 10:45:53 AM »
Every so often, I find myself looking at the PREFIX directive, especially the multiple "levels" of PREFIX that are available with PxPlus: PREFIX (n). I've tried to figure out how they might be used in our system to streamline certain processes, but don't come up with anything solid.
Does anyone here use these? What are some examples where they would be effective?
Thanks in advance!

Nomads / Child Window Right-click errors
« on: April 29, 2020, 06:04:45 PM »
We have an Item inquiry panel with a thumbnail picture. When the user clicks on the picture, it opens a child dialog with a larger image and a Close button. If they change Items on the main window, the image changes in the child dialog, as well.
The problem arises when the user accidentally right-clicks on the child dialog. It will generate an Error#65 (see attached). Evidently, the CTL value generated is -1082 (RIGHT-MOUSE-CLICK-DOWN/drag), but *winproc isn't checking for that at all (that I can see), only -1083 (RIGHT-MOUSE-CLICK-UP). It doesn't recognize the mouse click for what it is, tries to resolve it into something it isn't, and fails miserably.
Has anyone run into something like this? Is there something I'm not setting properly? I've tried to create a popup menu to attach to the panel, but that doesn't work, either. (A popup on the main window works fine, even with the child active.)
Thanks, all!

Do you have a clearer date as to when the new version will be released?

Michael:
Silly question... Is the actual company data "01"? No spaces or other characters, exactly 2 digits, etc. I know FACTS is picky about it to begin with, and that should be the case. Considering your challenges... back to "is it plugged in?"

Language / Re: WINDEV with redirected printer
« on: April 15, 2020, 04:40:48 PM »
Because I've got my home computer able to connect directly though the VPN to the server, having it print with a process that way works fine, too. It's just the RDP intercept that's causing the problems. And I don't think any of our normal user clients are set for direct-connect.
The other side of this is that we're still in the relatively early stages of migrating from character-based displays to graphical. Nomads panels with folders that have a lot of tabs, lists, etc. take longer to first display, due to the WindX back-and-forth. I've reduced those to a minimum, with "batched" loads instead of single-lines, but folks are still loathe to use the graphical programs in those situations (similar to our remote sites around the country). With the RDP connection to the PC in the main office, the server is right there, so response to those machines is FAST. The RDP updates are also fast to the remotes, so that's the preferred pathway at this time.
I'll explore some of the other options that have been presented, now that I know I'm not totally crazy with *WINDEV*.
Thanks for all your assistance.
