    .Net Integration

    Well, I finally found out how to create an Active X control with .Net that can be called from Progress. Too bad Active X is going away. And I hope that Progress will add support for .Net Librarys in their 4gl.

    Certain properties and class id's a hard coded in the WRX file. It appears that by using the prox.dll, I can dynamically create a WRX files to suit my needs with the AddControls, SaveControls, and many other properties and methods. Is there any reference to the calls in prox.dll or a sample...

    I'll have to try that and do some testing. Thanks for your input John (johnnebi)... Please use the [CODE ] and [/CODE ] vBulletin tags though. It's a little easier to read. Thanks, Brad

    Multiple rows in fill-in label?

    NO. In a GUI environment there is no way to have a label print on 2 lines. The only way is a column-label can be split up when printing using the (!) to indicate a new line. Bradley Worrell-Smith http://www.stompfest.com

    Couple of performance Questions

    My Personal Preference is: 1. I use the LIKE keyword allot on TEMP-TABLES, but not much on individual variables. I like LIKE. :) 2. I use the CAN-DO way too much. In fact I made another version of it as a user defined function to compare lists with lists. (EX...

    PDF creation

    The only other option that I know of is the PDF print driver from Software 995. I don't know if it will be any faster, but PDF's are slow anyways. I'm impressed with the PDFinclude.

    Send email by outlook

    There is no way that I know of to prevent the confirmation message from coming up. I attempted to create an automated way of sending e-mail messages, but ended up creating a VB program that did all the nasty work of SMTP server and calling it from my PROGRESS application.
