_ab.p Personal Boss open edge 10.2b

[jmac13]

I’m just looking at how our appbuilder is run. In the shortcut for appbuilder we call a .p which does the following: run gui_sys/varstart2.p. /** run the application builder **/ run _ab.p. this runs a login screen which user puts the user name & password in so they can connect to the database. Then the appbuilder is run but also a third party software called Personal Boss. This lets us check in and out programs from sourcesafe but I can’t work out how the person has edit/overloaded _ab.p to get this program to run at the same time as appbuilder. The location of the Personal Boss is in the pro path of the ini but I don’t understand how its run. Does anyone know how this can be done? Or where I should looked I’m a bit stumped. I want to be able to edit this 3rd party software so we can start to use subversion instead. Thanks

Thats the code a bit more Tidy

run gui_sys/varstart2.p. 

/** run the application builder **/
  run _ab.p.

Probably see http://documentation.progress.com/output/OpenEdge102b/pdfs/dvdvt/dvdvt.pdf

You can modify adecomm/_adeevnt.p to intercept or filter various events that occur in an ADE
session. The Procedure Editor calls adecomm/_adeevnt.p when certain processing events occur.
Generally, these events are file oriented (for example, OPEN, SAVE, and CLOSE), but they can be
more general (for example, STARTUP and SHUTDOWN).

Hi Stefan,

Yeah thats a big help.. I've now found a _adeevnt.p in this 3rd party program that seems to pick up events.. Now i just need to work what the events are.. as doesnt seem to list the ones for appbuilder in that doc..unless im being blind which it could be

Thanks again..
