    Array & OCX

    I think you'll have to use a MEMPTR variable. You may find some useful pointers at http://www.global-shared.com. HTH

    Com-handles In Excel2000

    I suggest... ... you try something along the lines of ... chExcel:ActiveSheet:QueryTables:ADD("TEXT;D:\tmp\022000.csv",chExcel:ActiveSheet:Range("A1")). Progress won't support parameters passed with ':='. Instead, look at the online VBA help and pass the parameters strictly in the...

    How to make a form visible?

    Have you taken a look at the 'VIEW' statement in the on-line help? Other alternatives are resetting the 'VISIBLE' and 'HIDDDEN' attributes against the object (Useful if you've only got a handle to the object). HTH

    Can I locked a input widget instead of disable it??

    V9 specific Ah, I see... one of those new fangled V9 things. On V8 (Which is still my main development environment) you can only apply that to browses, columns, menu items and editors. So, as long as Kenneth is on V9, he should be OK using that. If he's on V8.. he'll have to do it the way...

    Character UI - resetting the cursor to start of line

    Additional... Additional to this subject, I've found that the behaviour is different between GUI and CHUI clients. GUI works exactly the way I want, CHUI doesn't, and I can't make it work without redisplaying the field in a different frame.

    Character UI - resetting the cursor to start of line

    Arrgh - this is driving me nuts! :confused: Progress V8.3x CHUI. I'm trying to build limited EAN barcode parsing into part of our system. To do this I've changed the format on our SSCC input field from 'X(20)' to 'X(256)' and added 'VIEW-AS FILL-IN SIZE 20 BY 1' (If you don't know what an...

    Using cursor-keys in a browse widget

    I'd recommend users were told to use TAB, SHIFT+TAB to move between fields. I mean, you can trap the LEFT/RIGHT cursor keys but it means you can't move about inside the cell you're editing. Anyhow, something against 'ON ANY-KEY' events like the following should do the trick... ON...

    EXCEL still open !

    Have you called the quit() method? (Against the application object).

    Displaying a log file

    Yes I think you're looking for the 'SET-SELECTION' method. cLogViewer:SET-SELECTION(1,2). The first parameter specifies the offset of the first character to be selected. The second parameter specifies the offset of the first character after the selection.

    Displaying a log file

    Use a editor widget - works in GUI or CHUI Set up a character variable as a large editor widget, then load the log file into it.. Example: DEFINE VARIABLE cLogFile AS CHARACTER INITIAL "logs/log.txt" NO-UNDO. DEFINE VARIABLE cLogViewer AS CHARACTER VIEW-AS EDITOR NO-WORD-WRAP...

    Can I locked a input widget instead of disable it??

    So, what we're looking for is a fill in that will receive focus, but not respond to any attempts to change the contents? I'm assuming there's a good reason why you're not just setting the widget to 'View as text' or something. Try trapping the ANY-KEY event. You want to stop all printable...

    Can I locked a input widget instead of disable it??

    Not sure what you're trying to do You mean, won't receive focus, but not greyed out or anything? There's no attribute for that AFAIK, so it'd have to be code. How about... ON ENTRY ... RETURN-NO-APPLY What are you trying to do?

    File Date and Time

    Something along the lines of... INPUT THROUGH VALUE ( "ls -l " + cFileName ). REPEAT: /* Import the results of 'ls' one whole line at a time */ IMPORT UNFORMATTED cFileDetails. /* Assuming file name is at position 55, try to determine if the current line */ /* is the right...

    File Date and Time

    Another alternative INPUT THROUGH VALUE ( "ls -l " + cFileName ). ...saves having to use an intermediate file. Of course, this still doesn't help you with your original 'creation date' problem. I also notice you're on 8.3, and I didn't think FILE-INFO:FILE-CREATE-DATE...

    File Date and Time

    AFAIK Your average Unix system doesn't store creation date or time. Just last access and last update.

    problem with iss

    Hmm. You can create a log file from the silent install. Would that help at all? Perhaps you could check the log file to see if the install has completed?

    Character User Interfaces / Exporting

    That works?!? > alternatively, you could just do this in your batch file > > %dlcbin%\prowin23.exe -b -p > %log_file% I could see it working on the character client on Unix or something, but surely that's never going to work from a shortcut on a GUI client? Out of vague interest I...

    unattended installation

    Yes You can install the client unattended. Never used it myself though. Look in the Installation and Configuration Guide under 'Installing Progress/InstallShield Silent (Batch Mode) Utility'. It only works for typical or complete installations apparently.

    Or use the 'OUTPUT TO' statement with the 'KEEP-MESSAGES' qualifier.
