Re: this is generic in the extream. This is NOT generic in any stream. The good thing about PSC is the backward compatability. Version is not a requirement. However I am using OpenEdge 10.1 B. ADM

Could somebody explain with example syntax, how to start a progress database. So I can connect to it please. I also wish to create a shortcut to use to do this. If my db is at W:\db\UM.db and my app is W:\src\um.w Progress (prowin 32) is in the default directory. Many thanks.

Run the other window persistent, giving it it's own memory cache. RUN whatEver.w PERSISTENT SET handleVar. Then main.w can operate independently without closing, whatEver.w can function simultabiously, main.w also has a handle to talk to whatEver.w if it needs to. Hope this helps

Use a preprocessor and hardcode the src program at compile time to execute at run time.

WELL said Tom. Using FIND & FOR are old methods and not very efficient use of the language. It is rather 3GL and not keeping with the times. OpenEdge is ABL - THE future for business language logic.

If using GUI then smart links Otherwise you need to pass a var identifying the row from the browser in window 1 to window and browser 2. To enable the query in window & browse 2 to function. Getting the appropriate data from the db. GUI smart links would facilitate this option.

If you require to access an object property. Simply follow the progress standard. ObjectName:Attribute eg. fillinInBox:SCREEN-VALUE

The initial value of a toggle-box widget is ALWAYS false by default unless alternative / custom code is used.

The ABL is the 4GL, it is just an evolvement of the language. The same is appropriate, there is no equivelant.

Greetings, You have obviously not grasped the concept of the ADM(2) and Smart Objects. Re:I assume that I can use smartLinks to keep my sdo in sync with the temp-table. >>You should never assume anything. To assume is to make an *** of u and me. >A temp table is NOT real, it is a buffer of...

I am aware that this has been solved. Though this is the Progress 4GL feature, PUBLISH & SUBSCRIBE. Where window 1 PUBLISHES a named event, and window 2 SUBSCRIBES to the event. Then in window 2 have the appropriate code behind the trigger for the named event.

On the Object Pallete you require a SDO. When you select a SDO and try to create it by dropping on a container source. A wizard will appear asking you to point to a data source object or create a new instance. Create an instance through the wizard, what the query is, tables in the source and...

The syntax is the same just auppliying a paramter: SYSTEM-DIALOG GET-FILE cPants SAVE-AS

The title is just an attribute of the object so: ObjectName:TITLE = "Pants string here".

Abl In ABL, this is just +. E.g. value1 + value2 = result

Your missing the point. If you wish to embed a control, then that is GUI and you WILL need a container source (a window). However you can access control attributes & functions to perform actions from CHAR. This is similar to accessing a dll. Though what is the point of using a ocx if you are...

How dumb are U guys? That is NOT a rhetorical question. Why use ANY 3rd party software? MFG / Eb x is written in Progress 4GL. Get your in-house Progress guys to develop /design and construct 4GL that is bespoke to your shops needs. Progress is an advanced business application use it!!! 3rd...

Re: Output Greetings, If you output your data as a STREAM your target can be anywhere; a file (CSV), printer or even VDU. Look into using STREAM

Scoping Greetings, You need to be scoped to the server. Instead of the single instance executing on the server. The block needs to be scoped to the server. Much the same way as in a frame. How you would do with frame {&frame-name}, you need to be doing the block scoped to the server.

Re: User defined function <function-name> invoked dynamically but could not be found. This is standard Windows error. Follow normal Windows debuggin procedure, reinstall the application. In this instance Prowin32 is confused, by overlaying ontop will force Windows to correct the errors.
