I patched to patch 026 a couple of days ago and my colleagues and I have noticed it no longer responds to Ctrl-F or Ctrl-H in the proc editor, and find and replace now require the right click menu.  This is continually catching me out, and I and winding up typing search strings into proc because Ctrl-F has not brought up the find window.  How do I get the shortcuts back? Is is an ini setting now gone missing or something else?  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesJonas Metals Software LimitedSheffield GB------------------------------

New Feature(s)In the IDE's Code Editors, 'Find' and 'Find and Replace' options have been enabled with configurable shortcut keys. The shortcut is configurable in your usys.ini [userkeys] section. [userkeys] code.search=Ctrl+F code.searchandreplace=Ctrl+H Using the installer to update your installation (advised) will add these shortcuts for you. The 'Find' and 'Find and Replace' options are also added to the Design Layout Worksheet. The experience when you start these options from the context menu is also improved: focus stays in the Find window until you are done.Added README.md files for all UX-Widgets.In the IDE's Code Editors, you can now use the 'Go to' menu option or its shortcut Ctrl+G to jump directly to a specific line number.

Hi FreaksFor a long time, the proc editor in UF 9.7.4 works well.But since a few weeks it going slower and slower.First I thought it is the internet, but this happens at every connection to the internetThen I did a look into the INI:  maxtags is 20 and even if I set it to 0 ... It looks like ot depends of the size of the proccodeSmall trigger or at the beginning of a large trigger: The editor responds immediately to input.Large triggers at the end of the code. You can wait a second for every character ...Any idea?Ingo------------------------------Ingo StillerAareon Deutschland GmbH------------------------------

Hello, what kind of input has to be used for the field "Find what"? Is it a plain text? Is it a regular expression? Is it a Uniface Systax string? When searching for "E00" i get results like : message/error $text(E003) call LP_LIMS("E0020", "MAX", KONZ_ARSEN.CHECK_EN) As i just want results like $text(E00x), i have searched for "(E00". But this gives no results at all? Any suggestions? Thanks Norbert------------------------------Norbert LauterbachInfraserv Gmbh & Co. Höchst KgFrankfurt DE------------------------------

Hi Unifacers, I was asked to develop a Real Time Application using Uniface; this application should be able to manage up to 99 devices, directly connected or indirectly connected through 1-N physical data concentrators, each one managing a blocks of devices. Those data concentrators are really simple ones; they are NOT able to maintain a queue of data for those devices they managed: for each device just last item of data collected and its timestamp. The precision of this system should be at thousand second. There should be a dashboard on a controller station avaliable to send a couple of commands to each single device to manage them, using different protocols when directly connected or when connected through a data concentrator. A logical schema of the system can be viewed at this address: LogicalSchema.jpg Dropbox remove preview LogicalSchema.jpg Shared with Dropbox View this on Dropbox > In this logical schema one thing is missing: when the emergency

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a way to validate JSON documents in Uniface against a JSON Schema (to check both syntax and structure).Has anyone here already implemented such a solution or integrated an external library or service for this purpose? Any tips, sample code, or recommended approach would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!------------------------------Didier------------------------------

In the windows environment, we've had a user ask if there's any control over size/display of a tri-state checkbox.  I can't see anything that would help them here, does anyone know of anything that would make a checkbox (in a grid widget as it happens) bigger. Or possibly make the state easier to read on windows 11. (Null is blue square, checked is blue square with white tick, not massively easy to read for accessibility).  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesJonas Metals Software LimitedSheffield GB------------------------------

Hi All,   As part of our ongoing upgrade, we are transitioning the Uniface environment from Uniface 7 (on OpenVMS) to Uniface 10 (on Linux).During this migration, we encountered an issue with a 3GL function that was previously working as expected in the OpenVMS environment. The function is invoked using the following Uniface command:   perform "3glfunction"edit/nowander   This 3GL function is implemented in a .c file located in a Linux directory. Its purpose is to pause the Uniface application until a specified time has elapsed. Once the timer completes, the function uses UPUTAMES to send a response back to Uniface.While this setup worked seamlessly on OpenVMS, it does not function correctly on Linux. The Linux version of the 3GL function uses a timer thread, which is detached after the timer ends. Although UPUTAMES works independently and is capable of sending responses back to the application, it fails to trigger the expected behavior in Uniface-specifically, the form does not displa

Tips and Tricks for Uniface Logging  During the development or maintenance of your Uniface application, you may need additional insights into what is happening under the hood. Fortunately, Uniface provides several increasingly detailed logging options to help you optimize your ProcScript or investigate issues such as why a userver won't start.  The following tips apply to ide.asn, urouter.asn, userver.asn, and uniface.asn. The settings are also documented in the Uniface library.    $PUTMESS_LOG_FILE  This is the most commonly used log file setting. It writes the message frame to a file. $PUTMESS_LOG_FILE records what the Uniface process is doing in sequential order, with an emphasis on OS calls. This is very useful for determining what happened during the execution of your Uniface application.  To activate, use the following setting:  [SETTINGS]  $PUTMESS_LOG_FILE=c:unifacelogsmyapp_putmess%p.log  This will create a log file for the process you are running (uniface.e

Hi FreaksAll our components do have a component local variable $INSTANCEPROPERTIES$To check certain things at entity level, our entity operations (on model-level) does have some code which reads/write to $INSTANCEPROPERTIES$Compiled component works without any error.But when compiling the entity operations at there own, I got an error(OP_OCC_INIT) error: 1000 - Component variable '$INSTANCEPROPERTIES$' not found any idea to supress this error? BTW: Even the entity is not valid, says the compiler. But this is only a warning :-) assuming $1= STATUS.<$entname> in a (model) operation of DG1410 Entity 'DG1410' not found TIA Ingo------------------------------Ingo StillerAareon Deutschland GmbH------------------------------

Hi Unifacers, from documentation Uniface 10 has terminated support for:    /exe  Switch that was specific to the Development Environment. No longer supported.without any specific reason.In Uniface9 we had a very useful utility which after a search on components code was opening a separate development session directly on any of the components identified; this utility cannot be ported on Uniface10 without a restructuring. Now my questions:1) Is it possible in Uniface 10 Development having available the primary key of a Uniface component opening it directly in editing mode in a new session or in a separate Tab?2) If answer to #1 is NO, will a /exe or a /edit feature be implemented again in a next future on all Uniface development objects?3) If answer to #1 is YES, same functionality could be applied to any Uniface development object (Global procs, Global Includes, Global Menus, Modeled entities, Modeled fields, Code Snapshots, Field templates, and so on) ?4) If answer to #1 is YES, where
