Is there any way to know, from within the contained component in a tab widget, when the component is visible (I.e. when the tab value on the other component is changed).  I have contained component which I would like to refresh/instanciate when the tab is clicked, but not before.  trigger getfocus only fires when the contents of the tab is clicked, not when the tab widget itself has it's value changed to show the item.  The contained component is used by several different 'parent' components, and I would rather not have to alter the tab widget valuechanged trigger on all of them to include some 'instanciate' message. I'd rather the contained component knew when it was visible automatically. This would allow adding it to other parents without having to have secret knowledge of how to configure it.  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesJonas Metals Software LimitedSheffield GB------------------------------

Hi all,  After having problems with Crystal Reports with our upgrade from Uniface 9.7.01 to Uniface 9.7.05 and Uniface 10.3, we´d like to know if there exists examples or tutorials where we can find information. I search in the forums but the info is too old with Crystal Reports version out of support. Any guide or information will be much appreciated Thank you very much.

Has anyone ever tried to call a .net Core class library from Uniface (v10.3.02 32-bit)? We do have a working solution to call a .net framework dll by defining signatures. We use DllExport to expose the C# functions to native code. BUT we want to accomplish the same in .Net CORE. When testing we use UnmanagedCallersOnly as a substitute for the dllExport, but we always encounter procerror -58.------------------------------Johan Van AutreveCevi N.V.BE------------------------------

I am trying to follow the training from learn.rocketsoftware.com about ux widgets.  When I try to tun the example dsp UX-1 I get a Uniface RIA Exception "No widget found for files PERSONID.WIDGETS.UX". I have copied the uniface\\common folder from the installed uniface to the runtime webapps\\uniface folder. What file(s) am I missing? I have tried inspecting the page code, and I can't see anywhere it directly references the ux\\unifaceux.min.js.  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesJonas Metals Software LimitedSheffield GB------------------------------

Hi Unifacers, large text fields are becoming more and more common in all applications.It would be nice to be able to recognize where endUser is positioned in a large text field as well as to position him/her in a specific point of the text field. Need is to have a new function $curPos() which can be used to get or to set cursor position in a specific field.Syntax could be:vPos = $curPos(FIELDNAME) ; to get current position$curPos(FIELDNAME) = vPos ; to set current position When setting a new position automatic scrolling should be taken in consideration to show the portion of text where the cursor is newly positioned. Questions:- Has anyone already implemented something similar?- If NOT: could this request be taken in consideration as a wish from ULab? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hello everyone, In a DSP (10.4.02 version), we were able to use voice dictation through the "SpeechRecognition" interface, which is functional on Google Chrome.  We would like to use this same voice dictation in a form. Despite the Uniface HTML widget using Chorium, this interface does not work. Have you ever had a need for dictation in a form, and do you have a solution? Thanks.------------------------------Jérémie CEDOLINProges PlusWillems FR------------------------------

I am wanting to update the positions of fields on a form multiple times a second as if they are being animated. I'm struggling to find a way to do this. I tried using sleep in a while loop but it causes the UI to hang.Looking around, the UTimer or some kind of periodic messaging to run triggers may work, but I don't know how to use those things.  Any thoughts? ------------------------------R TEmporerRocket Software Forum Member------------------------------

Hi Team, We recently migrated from Uniface v10.3 to v10.4, and after completing the migration and configuration setup, we've encountered an issue. The problem arises specifically when the application is accessed from outside the server (where the application is deployed). When executing the xmlload statement, the application crashes, and no logs are generated beyond that point. We have attached the relevant logs for reference. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or can provide insights into resolving this? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

After upgrading from windows 12 to windows 19 there is a 50% degradation in performance. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a performance gain displaying lots of fields on a component. We have 3500 (100 columns x 35 rows) edit boxes on one frm.   It is quite clear the there is a direct relation between the number of widgets displayed on an frm and the speed to display the frm. ------------------------------Osman ShariffFreelance Uniface Consultant - FrancePrivate message me if you need help with a projectEnglish, French, German------------------------------

Hi, It seems that the source argument of the $encode function has a size limit ? Do you know the maximum accepted size ?

I have a tab form. If the user makes a change to one of the fields and TABS ... then leaves the tab form - life is great. But, if they do not TAB, I need to force the validate trigger to fire.  So, I put a validateocc(entity) in the LoseFocus trigger of the tab form. It fires, does its calculations, but then I can never get out of the field that is being modified. I'm at a loss on what to try next.

Hi,We're seeing long compile times in our Uniface 10.4 development environment, with more complex components taking upwards of 90 to 120 seconds to compile each time. Though we've never had super quick compilation under Uniface 10, in particular, this does seem to have got worse, though I'm not really sure what would be considered a "normal" compile time.Has anyone else seen something similar, or have any ideas what might be contributing (or what to look in to)? We're running patch 10.4.01.019, if that makes any difference.Thanks, David------------------------------David ReedTribal Group------------------------------

The statement filebox allows user in the MS file selection form to choose the option "all files" and select an arbitrary file, although the filebox option for file types is restricted only to certain file types. The request to Uniface development is that after file selection Uniface itself checks the selected file: Is the file type correct? If not then $status is not 0 but e.g. 1 telling that file type is incorrect. Is the file path correct? If not then $status is not 0 but e.g. 2 telling that file path does not correspond to given entry path. Another possibility would be a new option /secure with the consequence that $status would be negative and $result is empty, if one of the mentioned checks above fails.  ------------------------------Ewald WichmannAkdb------------------------------

We use the $timeout setting in the ASN file of our application, but this does not have an impact if a user leaves an askmess/filebox/… statement unanswered. This can lead to long lasting 'open transactions' on the database, which in his turn does not help the overall performance. We investigated the possibility of the UTIMER function, but since this does not capture 'inactivity', this is not an option: we do have large processes which needs time. And it seems that this UTIMER is even 'disabled' when an AskMess is used. Regarding the open transactions, we tried to avoid these using commits/rollbacks (after retrieve instructions) but this doesn't really closes the transaction because Uniface needs to complete its hitlist. We can achieve this by performing a setocc -1 ; but that is (seeing the large amount of data) not an option either. Anyone any idea/suggestion? P.S.: we are running Uniface 10.4.2.043 with Ms Sql server as database (ODBC Driver 17) Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.2
