Hi Simone,

By default the IDF is using the usys.ini file from {Uniface 9.7 install dir}\\uniface\\adm. This file contains all the settings required by the IDF (e.g. logical widget definitions for the IDF buttons). In case some of the buttons in the IDF are not displayed correctly then the IDF apparently uses a different INI file.

Here's an example of a IDF shortcut that is created by the Uniface installer:

• Target: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Uniface\\Uniface 9.7.01\\common\\bin\\idf.exe" "/adm=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Uniface\\Uniface 9.7.01\\uniface\\adm" ?
• Start in: "C:\\Users\\test\\Documents\\Uniface 97 Development\\project\\"

Please note the /adm command line switch.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel I think you pointed us in the right direction, digging in the usys.ini file I found that in the [widgets] section we only have this two entryes apparently regarding U9.7:

IDFButtonBottom=ucmdbutton(representation=Uniface;cursor=uhand;frametype=off;font=IDFButtonText;labelfont=IDFButtonText;backcolor=#01A7E1;backcolorselect=#97D5EC;backcolorhover=#55C1E8;backcolorfocus=#0084CC;forecolor=white;forecolorselect=black;vsize=80;autolabel=F;position=center;valign=center)
IDFButtonImage=ucmdbutton(representation=Uniface;cursor=uhand;frametype=off;transparency=T)

but looking for that in the uniface CHM library I found that there are 8 new widgets in U9.7:

IDFSpeedSearch
IDFTextCell
IDFButtonBottom
IDFButtonSide
IDFButtonHeader
IDFButtonImage
IDFButtonSpecial
IDFOpenProfile

6 of these definitions are missing in the U9.7 downloadable setup from the https://download.uniface.com/downloads/Uniface/distributions website!

can you please provide me the missing entries or we must download the old U9701 and copy+paste that 6 missing INI definitions?

thanks in advance

Simone

Thanks for your reply.

In case you only find two entries in the [widgets] section then you either look at the usys.ini in \\common\\adm (instead of \\uniface\\adm) or the default usys.ini somehow has been overwritten.

When you do a default installation of Uniface 9.7 then the usys.ini in \\uniface\\adm will include the logical widget definitions mentioned in the documentation (CHM library):

; Logical widgets Uniface 9.7:
; Note: These widgets cannot be used from the Uniface development environment.
IDFSpeedSearch=ueditbox(font=editfont;onedit=T)
IDFTextCell=ueditbox(font=editfont)

IDFOpenProfile=ueditbox(frame=T;font=editfont;autoselect=on;dimmedbackcolor=off;dblclk=detail;multiline=F)

I hope this helps.

Thanks Daniel, i found those missing entries in uniface\\adm\\usys.ini you pointed me

I confirm that they were missing in the common\\adm\\usys.ini file of all of our clean installations

just done copy+paste, everything is working now

thank you very much!

Simone

Hi all,

those 6 logical widgets missing are NOT the only difference between the two usys.ini files!
As already mentioned from Daniel the one under uniface\\adm is for development while the one under common\\adm is for servers and services: urouter, userver, udbg, ... Some differences are originated from the different usages but it would be nice if they could be maintained aligned into distribution as much as possible, documenting lines that MUST be different for any reason.

Here my complete list of lines missing or different between the two files:

1)
[areaframes]
SHORTCUTS=uframe(backcolor=#66B2E6;attach=hsize,vsize)

2) Into CommandButton logical widget definitions:

Hi Simone

As Daniel said, check your ini file. Some colleagues had the same problem and was due they had this single line wrong within the ini file: 

usysadm=d:\\uniface\\u97\\common\\adm

instead of 

usysadm=d:\\uniface\\u97\\uniface\\adm

Regards

Luis

Hi Luis, yes the INI located in COMMON\\ADM had the missing lines

Since 9.4 we always used only that INI e non the one located in UNIFACE\\ADM, as we do not specify /ADM in the application shortcut

where I can find that usysadm setting?

thank you
