Hi all,
I have an application that started out in Progress 7 and has developed over the years through 8, 9 and now to 10.
It starts a main WINDOW and then a number of "Child" windows which are set to WINDOW-SUPPRESS and so they just display FRAMES within the parent window in an MDI style.
I need to move the application on and find a way of making my existing screens/code play nicely with v10 .NET screens without having to rewrite the whole application at once.
So far not much luck.
Is there a way of making a App Builder progress window an MDI child of a OE Architect .NET "Menu" screen?
If not, is there a way of doing a SUPPRESS-WINDOW on an OE Architect .NET window and calling that from my App Builder Menu.w?
The idea being to add new screens to the existing application and make use of the new functionality without having to take a year out and rewrite the whole user interface from scratch.
In a similar vein, the existing app makes a lot of use of SHARED variables but classes cannot see these which makes calling the legacy code impossible from classes.
Is the a way of getting the OE Architect to generate straight .w screens rather than Classes?
Any help would be much appreciated.
