    beauty.p Reformats Progress Source Code

    Stick the source file in your working directory (startup directory of your Progress icon), then enter the filename sans path. Warning: beauty.p will overwrite the existing file. It appears to look for files in the working directory that begin with the entered filename, to format all of...

    beauty.p Reformats Progress Source Code

    Dunno. Just had a quick go on it (haven't used it for ages), nothing much seemed to happen, so had a quick look at the code, got scared, went back to work. I'll have another go later if you don't resolve it in the meantime.

    beauty.p Reformats Progress Source Code

    Check out becom and code changer on the Peg utilities page. http://www.peg.com/utilities.html I don't have a direct link to beauty.p, but I reckon you should be able to pick it up from one of the Progress (ex Posse) codebase downloads. In the meantime, it's attached here from my PC.

    Can flash objects be embeded in progress

    I would guess so, given that ActionScript (in my limited understanding) compiles to an swf file, and the webbrowser ocx is an Internet Explorer component that renders web files. The limitations (other than previously stated) might be that the ocx, being a little old (IE6?), may not handle...

    Can flash objects be embeded in progress

    It's quite easy to do - just drop the webbrowser ocx onto your window, and programmatically navigate to the swf file (or html file that launches it). It doesn't appear to work with Windows 98 (or IE 5, not sure which), and there may be security issues with the underlying browser, but...

    Any Future in Progress???

    A typically warm, welcoming response from the cheerful Doctor. Hi eMe, welcome to Progress and the forum. Progress is still quite stuck. As far as I can see by looking at the job sites, nothing much has changed in terms of prospects, though as Tamhas says, Progress (the core technology)...

    Every body is selling their stocks ?

    It's not a subject I know anything about, but when I read your message I did a bit of googling... You can insert the name of your choice for 'Joe Blow'. http://invest-faq.com/cbc/trade-insider.html So, probably just a financially appropriate time to cash in. Perhaps they are all doing it at...

    How to modify fill-in widget on the fly?

    Ok. Just checked out his homepage. Definitely the coolest homepage of any Progress poster I've yet seen. I'm going to stick a link on mine to his just for the fame-by-association kudos. Updates soon...

    How to create window that is uneffected by parents dialog boxes

    Lord, I've warned you before about solving coding issues by eating elephants. They are two completely different subjects, and no use if the programmer is a vegetarian. He is (as far as I can tell) running it persistently - but the modal nature of the dialog box prevents user access to it...

    Creating a Manifest with version 9.1d?

    [cross-post] I'm not convinced the name makes all that difference. I use the default manifest generated by (eg.) XP style hacker and that works for me unless I change (eg.) the format of the version number. One observation on that is that you have your version set to 10 - which may cause...

    Creating a Manifest with version 9.1d?

    1. You need to be on at least 9.1d07 2. Stick the manifest in your Progress Bin directory (I presume you are doing this). 3. Enter the following into your .ini file/registry startup section: UseClipChildren=yes so it looks like: [Startup] V6Display=no UseClipChildren=yes ...

    Index hints in Progress ?

    It was quite crafty. I googled first, because I was suspicious, but not sure.

    Is there intelligent life after Progress...

    Oxymoronic (or if you are using .Net as a front end, proxymoronic)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_logic Also, George Potemkin claims here there are 4 different unknown values: http://www.peg.com/lists/peg/history/200410/msg00203.html but my brain hurts when I try and consider it.

    Dyanmic Queries and Indexs

    None. Rewrite the query (perhaps as Tom suggested). The use of LOOKUP in the WHERE clause will force a WHOLE-INDEX search on the primary index (presumably idxIDMembers). See eg. KB 21098 Single Index Selection Explained

    The End of the Universe as we know it...

    Nice coup for Progress: http://tinyurl.com/2xujsj So when the LHC creates a black hole/strangelet/whatever at the end of the year, and the universe collapses, you know who to blame. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider#Safety_concerns

    file upload in OE 10.1B

    I'm a little confused - how are you going to show progress without knowing how far along the file(s) you are? Or are you asking how you get this info mid-copy? I'm also not sure whether you mean you are uploading files to the database (in which case you can use streams, and represent progress...

    Is it just me?

    No, it's not just you. I guess it's the old RTFM thing. Some people are a little nervous, maybe and need a bit of hand holding to start off, others are, as you say, just plain lazy. However, I don't think it happens that often. Most people who ask 'obvious' questions normally seem to...
