    Indeed, you've put me in the right direction! It's an easy to implement ocx. The trial version is already implemented into a demo version, I'll let the boss decide ;)

    Preview Word/Excel documents in a progress window

    Hi, for a basic document management system in OpenEdge 10.1B, I want to display a preview of some file types in a progress window. I could do this for images using the progress "picture"-object and for PDF documents using "AcroPDF.dll" as an ocx. I didn't find yet how to preview Word and Excel...

    file management: files without extension

    Hi, as part of a project, I'm building a little "file management system", where users can upload files to specified location. In windows is it possible to hide known file extensions, but when those files are emailed, the extension is "lost". Word-documents still can be opened, but...

    initial-dir of system-dialog get-file

    you're welcome... In a normal windows shortcut, you just add the directory in "start in" (see screenshot :awink:)? (we use citrix in 2 ways: published applications (mostly for using the secure gateway to log in through the internet; previous screenshot) and a "full desktop" (you get a normal...

    initial-dir of system-dialog get-file

    We use Citrix Metaframe as well, and I have the solution for you :) One of the properties of your published application is the "working directory" (see screenshot attached). This will solve your problem, I think. Greetz, Netfreaky

    initial-dir of system-dialog get-file

    Hi, Does anyone know how to initialize the initial-dir of a get-file system-dialog to "My Computer"? I did already find out with a get-dir system-dialog that choosing "My computer" returns an empty string. Initializing the initial-dir property of the get-file system-dialog to "" sets the...

    file upload in OE 10.1B

    I'ld prefer uploading to another server, mostly on the same location as the application is running from, which means it can be done quickly... (but when it's not on the same location copying will last much, much longer) Is it possible to get that info while copying? (otherwise I'ld show a...

    file upload in OE 10.1B

    Hi all, I'm programming a little "file upload tool" to attach files to the filing card of a person. This isn't a very big problem, using a file picker and copying the file using a dos-silent-value. The real challenge is to show the process in a progress bar. Did someone try this before...

    message "how do i return focus to entry Field".

    for example: in the code, you want to set the cursor in the fill-in named "txtFILL", which is in frame "fraTest": you need the following code: APPLY "ENTRY":U TO txtFill IN FRAME fraTest. RETURN NO-APPLY.

    duplicate items in combo-box: wrong screen-value returned

    I currently use a little work-around for this problem: I added the unique id to the label, so the label is "unique"... But... I hope in a next version this will be solved.

    duplicate items in combo-box: wrong screen-value returned

    Hi, I've already tried something likely (translated to english): table post: field land as char (country) field post as char (postal code) field lnr as int (line number, because it's possible that different parts of a city have the same postal code) field lok as char (location) index post...

    duplicate items in combo-box: wrong screen-value returned

    Hi, thanks for this, the "Sort" property wasn't checked. Checking it, gives the right screen-value but sorts the list by the label... But there's a minor remark which doesn't make it the best solution: The last duplicate item (the one with the highest id) is the first of the duplicates in...

    Reports builder variant for openEdge?

    Hi, thank you for this link, it's a very useful program, indeed! One minor thing is that it isn't possible to switch to another database... but when you restart it, it's possible to specify a database.

    Reports builder variant for openEdge?

    Hi, We recently upgraded our database from version 9.1D to openEdge 10.1A. For testing purposes, I frequently used the Reports Builder to have a quick view on the content of tables, just to be sure what i've written in the database is how i want it (notations, etc...). I couldn't find such...
