Hello All
If I have a text file that contains print @ like this
->print@(0),"Jeff",@(20),"PxPlus",@(50),"Canada"
Jeff PxPlus Canada
I want to convert the string containing the print @ to the nicely formatted with spaces...
is there a way to do that.

Language / Nomads Adding Security Class to Control
« on: May 03, 2021, 03:10:28 PM »
Hello All,
We've used a feature of pxplus for several years now whereby we add a Security Class to a control if the Client requests "That they never want to see that field."
It has worked perfect over the years. No matter what group it is in, no matter what code hides/shows control, the customer will never see it because No One is a member of that security class.
Recently as we have migrated to new versions of pxplus, we are noticing it still hides the control but it leaves the query button on screen.
has anyone seen this and is there any fix we can add to any pxplus programs that could help solve this problem.

Nomads / Grid Check Box
« on: April 22, 2021, 02:48:28 PM »
Hi,
i'm working on a grid and i have a check box on grid but the user is complaining that they have to get the mouse right into that square to activate it...is there any way around this where i can increase surface area of clickable region...without making it a button and losing functionality of on/off.
thanks

Language / Signal All Changes Multiline
« on: April 20, 2021, 10:07:22 AM »
Hi List,
i hope what i'm trying to do is not too outlandish. I've done it before with a grid (changing row height to zero to filter rows) but i'm trying to do with a list box.
Here is scenario.
As the User types into a multi-line [like a keyword search], i want to reload list box with each key stroke... [so on multi-line i have signal all changes]
however after i reload list box i cannot get cursor to stay at the end of the Multi-Line so they can type next character
i've fiddled with selectoffset,selectlength but i cannot get to work.
has anyone had any luck doing anything like this?

Language / Error 10 (Resolved- Disregard)
« on: April 13, 2021, 01:41:08 PM »
Hi List,
Sorry - it is registry setting on the machine that was trying to access the share...
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\
NoRun=1
i know this is probably permissions but i was hoping maybe someone had some insight as i've never received an error 10
i have certain users who can open up this directory
open (1)\\192.168.1.10\Scans\Orders"
and certain people who get an error 10....
any ideas?

« on: March 05, 2021, 10:40:55 AM »
Hello List,
does anyone know what this message is indicative of:
Pxplus / Printer Allocation
Unable to Start Document
i'm assuming it is just a bad link file (do you all agree)

Hi All,
i'm trying to check if someone is in a purchase order before reserving against it.
I found that if i set tim=0 on extract it does exactly what i want it to do with little to no lag:
extract (po_file,key=po_number$,bsy=*next,tim=0)
Does anyone see any harm in my doing this?

Programming / Meta Data
« on: October 27, 2020, 10:20:13 AM »
Hello
is there any way to store meta data in a program about the program that can be searched.
you know on web pages you can put tags in to improve SEO.
is there anything like that in pxplus programs.
we sometimes struggle with new and existing personnel finding programs or *cmd that we've created
jeff
p.s. or if someone has some good ideas on how to find programs i would welcome that.

ODBC / ODBC older versions
« on: October 07, 2020, 11:50:57 AM »
let me preface by saying i have a client who has not upgraded from providex to pxplus because they are being told they will have to move to their parent company's system eventually.
however - they have a client server version of providex odbc....4.20
they have an app trying to access it that is 64 bit....
i installed 64 bit odbc 5.20 client driver
it looks good but whenever we try to access the tables we get
contains no columns that can be selected or the current user does not have permissions on that object
does anyone have any ideas? if i put their client server version to 5.20 could that fix it..

iNomads / No Windows Printers Available
« on: September 08, 2020, 01:35:42 PM »
Hello,
when running an inomads application we have a routine that tries to open up *windev* to print to our document storage printer.
winprt.pvc pops up message "No Windows Printers Available"
i'm kind of new to inomads - is this an easy fix...

Programming / *winprt* mxc/mxl
« on: August 25, 2020, 12:35:33 PM »
So i'm trying to deal with a problem on an old print program...
and here is my question -> why does the mxl / mxc differ when i open printer 2 different ways:
open (1)"*winprt*;NORMAL"
select printer L1 from windows printer box
print mxc(1)
50
print mxl (1)
81
open (1)"*winprt*;L1"
print mxc(1)
49
print mxl (1)
44
when it does the NORMAL open (which works) and i'm trying to open printer quietly -> is there any way i can see what font it is defaulting to?
