    Some progress Questions.

    CHUI is character interface Progress - applications like the old DOS ones with blue browses and flashing cursors. Like you see when you go through the system BIOS menu when you interrupt Windows booting. I've always steered clear as the only code I've ever dealt with has been, well...

    progress equivalent of vb inputbox?

    Well, I suppose if it is something you want to use regularly you could construct your own - it shouldn't take more than a few minutes. ie. create a little dialog (InputBox.w, say) with an image and Title. Then Run InputBox.w(Input Title, Output EnteredString) every time you need it.

    progress equivalent of vb inputbox?

    It's an updateable message box, I think. Normally dealt with in Progress (Windows) by a dialog box, but try this: DEF VAR inputField AS CHARACTER FORMAT 'x(20)' NO-UNDO. MESSAGE 'Type here:' SET inputField . MESSAGE inputField VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK. ps...

    Mail Merger Optimizatin?

    I haven't done this (mail merge) operation before, so this advice may be incorrect - also, I can't spend much time considering it, but a couple of observations: The pseudocode of your .p appears to be: open a word document replace the 'from words' with the 'to words' save the changed...

    Index On Temp Table?

    Me neither. Try an SQL sub forum (here or on the Peg). It's part of SQL-92, so presumably yes.

    Index On Temp Table?

    You are using SQL. Casper's example is 4GL, the normal way of accessing Progress DB.

    Shall/Will can-find(tablename) Return True When There are More Than 1 Qualified Rows

    Re: Shall/Will can-find(tablename) Return True When There are More Than 1 Qualified R It's my way of 'giving back', and keeping the karma thing going. I presume as you - a moderator - are higher up the corporate ladder here at ProgressTalk than me, you get paid more per helpful post? :)

    Shall/Will can-find(tablename) Return True When There are More Than 1 Qualified Rows

    Re: Shall/Will can-find(tablename) Return True When There are More Than 1 Qualified R CAN-FIND reports whether or not a single record matching the criteria exists. So if two or more (or no) records match the criteria, the answer is no. This is a similar result as when using the FIND...

    Code Beautifier for Progress 4GL

    It's been pointed out to me offline the NotePad++ extension is hard to get hold of. I've never actually installed it (only the PSPad one), but I have read about it in a couple of places, though the OEHive reference appears to have been removed. Download details (but I can't download it at...

    Code Beautifier for Progress 4GL

    That is something you will arrange via your licensing with your Progress representative. However, information about Eclipse in general (non-Progress) can be found here.

    Code Beautifier for Progress 4GL

    The official IDEs for GUI Progress are Appbuilder (v9+) and Eclipse (if you are on v10). You can also view code in free external editors like NotePad++ and PSPad, which will even have keyword colouring if you have the Progress syntax plugin for them. There are a couple of plugins to...

    Clearing the entire Window!!

    Hi Tom, You'd need a registered-for-development version of the tabstrip ocx for the MS example (MSComCtl.ocx). Although the ocx is a commonly deployed file (you'll probably find one in c:\windows\system32 on Windows), I believe you may need a license for MS Visual Studio, eg. VS6 to be...

    Clearing the entire Window!!

    Well, I'd have one window per module. But assuming you have to have them all in the same window activated by triggers (as you suggest), a relatively simple way is to have one 'master' frame per module which contains the other frames for that module, and show and hide the master frame as required...

    does Progress DB have system tables?

    Manuals > Data Management > Database Admin > Virtual System Tables: But note the difference between VSTs (activity tables) above and the metaschema documented in an old (and probably out of date, but may give you some ideas) paper here...

    does Progress DB have system tables?

    Data Dictionary > View > Show Hidden Tables. Tables begin _ There's an article that describes them somewhere, but I can't find it at the mo. Search for "metaschema" also.
