I tried creating a printer to print to the nul port and it just does not work. 

Am I missing somethig?

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.

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.

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.
