Why not set / change the widget colours to custom colours? Then they will not be effected, if you select appropriate colours

The Smart widgets source code are all part of Progress. Open them using the AppBuilder from the install directory.

Indeed, you are NOT utilzing the product appropriately. You are confused with the development environment (ADE) Expecting this to be run time. You obviously need to attend training on the product. Though, the 4GL has now gone, long live the ABL and OpenEdge.

It SHOULD work though head scratching why not. There are 2 options for setting this. At display time, using the required with format, which does not seem to be working. Or setting this at session level. Where you are executing prowin, supplying / setting the parameters for this. Hope you...

Preprocessor expression Using the syntax you supplied: &IF expression &THEN ... Interpret expression to mean / imply simply condition. Think the statement is just simply saying, 'IF this occurs, THEN do this'. But it is wrapped in the preprocessor formant. Hope this helps you work...

Greetings, Simply do as Progress is asking. Move focus to a different widget, then assign the values for the browse widget. In your block, a later procedure assign the Browse attributes. Thus moving focus away from the browse. Eg if you have other wigets on screen at the same time, use...

You get the messages when you, 'compile my code'. Asking is there any way to surpress the messages, yes there is. Learn how to program in the ABL/4GL !!

From a .p this would not be possible since Progress / OE is an interpreted development language.

(please) HELP, I require a webpage to update a progress database. Help would be appreciated, for the sports db to give me an example how. Iam using OE 10 on windows TIA

:o Greetings indeed you can. Progeress / OpenEdge is not interested in other links supplied to. The SDV has a data src link (directly to the DB) it is NOT interested in the other links just the data src. The tableIO link sends data fom the SDO back to update the DB. This is basic ADM2...

SUBSTRING Look into the SUBSTRING function. So basically take the length of the sting you wish to analize, then SUBSTRING through, looking at each char. If it is the char that you are interested in then do whatever wth it. This is the process you require. Yu simply wish to beak the string...

do: if new-so.so_cust <> old-so.so_cust then display new-so.so_cust old-so.so_cust. return error. end. Lets look at the code block. if new-so.so_cust <> old-so.so_cust then /* we want to see it */ display new-so.so_cust old-so.so_cust. return error. /* this statement is firing what...

If this is GUI, then you already know the basis (Outputting to CSV). Output a stream to WhatEverFileName.xls Let Windows do the hard work for you. You are only interested in thde data extracted from the database. Give that data to Windows and let that sort out the formatting. Its that simple.

Just change the links at run time.

Greetings, I have an OpenEdge db (10.1) sat on my box (windows). How do I connect to it across the network? I think I need to start / piggy back a service. Then what syntax do I require to connect to it? I am thinking a shortcut to prowin32 supplying the different parameters eg -db, -p...

I have got my db on my box and I wish to connect from a web page. How do I do this? What is the required syntax? I have a button on a html page, that I wish to publish some thing to make my OpenEdge session connect, so I can transfer data <> OpenEdge 10.1 on Windows box. Thanks

Greetings To clarify my objective. I am attempting to simply start a database server and connect to it with ABL code. I wish to encapsulate this into a shortcut. For which will launch my app. TIA

I am following some instructions I found on how to connect to a service, however I do not understand the following instruction: start the Progress Explorer Tool connect to “localhost” in (domain\username and password or just hit OK). I do not understand the connect to instruction. Howdo I...

I want to set up and connect to a service. OpenEdge 10.1 on Windows. I am trying to make my DB available on 1 instance then connect to it, to enable my app to update it. Thanks for any help. I would be greatful for example code.

Aren't dispatch procedures a rather old and outdated method? The origional ADM used dispatch though that approach was abandoned. RUN dispatch IN handle ('name'). NOT very ABL approach
