    Progress & Eclipse

    Thanks, Casper. I thought as much. But how typical of PSC - not to make a useful development tool available to the development masses.

    Progress & Eclipse

    Having just installed OE10 Studio, whatever happened to the Eclipse IDE that I heard about some time ago? TIA

    EDITOR widget does not fill in parent frame

    You mean, editor widget does not *fit* in Progress frame. It means that the editor widget doesn't fit inside it's container object (the frame). This is because when the Progress procedure is run, either the size of the frame is set too small, or the size of the editor is set too large...

    progress equivalent of vb inputbox?

    ps. Mike, If you have a current link to the SmartPak, I'll add it to my page. Thanks, er, Knut. I'm working on it. Been away from the 4GL for a time, but now I'm back! Now, where did I put the source code...

    server app help!

    Just use a WAIT-FOR instead of the PROCESS-EVENTS loop. e.g. WAIT-FOR "CLOSE" OF THIS-PROCEDURE. A WAIT-FOR is already "processing events" as they happen. You should then find things are far more stable.

    Oracle 1007 Errors and lots of them

    Oracle 1007 Errors and lots of them

    Hi All, We have a very complex database in Oracle9i. It's a huge thing with hundreds of tables, countless indices and constraints. During some heavy processing tasks in the 4GL, we are getting random Oracle 1007 errors with the message 'variable not in select list'. As it's the dataserver...

    Java/Progress Communications

    We have a Java application that and we would like to get the Java client to execute/invoke some 4GL procedures on our Progress server. The intention is simply to invoke the 4GL process - we don't really need to receive any data back (although some status information would be useful). We don't...

    Force a Tooltip in a fill-in to Show

    You can probably do this using API calls although I have no idea how. But if you don't already know, try looking on www.global-shared.com. It has a lot of info on API calls and I'm sure that with a bit of investigation, you can develop your tooltip control. Mike.

    SmartFolder/SmartFilter behavior

    Makes perfect sense, I think! :dizzy: The first time the tab is selected, the filters will be initalized and because you have said that they shouldn't be viewed on initialization, they don't appear. But when you return to tab 1, all objects on tab 1 will be viewed. This is just standard...

    Or look at the following docs. They seem to be quite comprehensive: http://www.progress.com/products/documentation/index.ssp

    Smartpak

    SmartPak is still available from me directly. I've not been developing it recently because I've moved on to Java. Sigh... I miss the 4GL very much :-( If anyone still wants a copy of SmartPak 4.4, please drop me an e-mail to: smartpak@blueyonder.co.uk It should work at v10 okay, although I...

    Persistent Program Error 3135 & 3140

    Problem is, Matt, none of us are mind readers. You mention that you have a persistent procedure but you don't say what's in it or what it does. >I was testing to see if the handle was the same on entry to the field... What handle? What field? >however, if I select any of the fields in the...

    Overriding standard commands

    As with any language that supports functions, you can extend the language by creating a series of function libraries. When you do this in C++, you will always need to reference the library by using #include. Similarly, in Java, you would reference the library using 'import'. It's the same in...

    exchange data between frames

    Sorry, my mistake. It's just AVAILABLE not ROW-AVAILABLE. What I've suggested does work. Have a look at the attached files. They use the sports database.

    exchange data between frames

    Well, SmartObjects are the obvious answer here. using SmartObjects, you can set this up quite easily. But as you are not using them so you'll have to do it manually. When you click the button, you can run frame2.w passing the row information as a run-time parameter. The ROWID of the record is...

    Remain in the field till the right value is entered

    That's a database trigger not a UI trigger. This trigger is fired when the new value is being written into the table, not when the user is editing the value in a form. Usually, new values are not written to the table until the form is committed (e.g. you click OK). So you can either, stick...

    Function for supported image formats ?

    I know what you mean but no, there isn't a function. I think most of us get by with the three most popular formats of bmp, jpg and gif. I doubt that you will go far wrong with these. Personally, I've never heard of the other formats, but I presume that you want to know which file types to...

    problems disconnecting databases

    Not really. The disconnect statement is just a request. Progress will not actually perform the disconnect while there are procedures running that access the database. It waits until those procedures have ended. If there are no procedures running that access the database, then the disconnect...
