[SOLVED] reg-free .NET COM with uniface on windows 7Author: wva@gypsilon.de (gypsilon) Hello My question is not direct related to uniface, but I hope that someone got a similar situation, and can give me some hints. I've got a .NET COM component, which I use as OCX-widget within uniface 9.6. This all works fine. The application runs on a server, and so each client needs to register (regasm) the dll. This I want to avoid, because there are lots of clients. So I looked in all the articles, which describe of how to generate a reg-free COM interop. I followed the steps, die generate a Manifest for the dll, added necessary manifest-Information to uniface.exe (I did also sign uniface.exe which doesn't seem to be necessary so far). After lots of experiments I've got it run on windows8-clients reg-free. Great! Unfortunetaly it doesn't work on windows-7-clients. I did also add the compatibility-switch in the Manifest of uniface.exe Uniface itselfs comes back with a -57, unif

how extend the READ statement?Author: i2stiller@gmx.de (istiller) Hi Just a "simple" question into the round: "how extend the READ statement"? background: We have to implement some kind of treatment on every read row from database. This includes DISCARDS if special condtions are envountered. Currently we ddo this by a global proc called after the READ in READ-trigger. My idea is to replace also the READ statement itself, so that there is (normal) only one line in READ-Trigger Before read call SO_READ_AFT() What I want is call SO_READ("") So far so good But what if you have to apply conditions and/or order directives? First idea was, to expand the parameter list of SO_READ by a few arguments like v_CONDITION, v_ORDER,  ... But there are two drawback Performance: On every "read" (not only "retrieve") I have to considerd parameters to use the correct READ statement Compile-time checks of the entitys and fields in q

Migration from 9.6.04 to 9.6.07Author: giachino@finaosta.com (Paolo Giachino) Hi all to migrate from 9.6.04 to 9.6.07 is mandatory to create a new repository on 9.6.07 and import all (i.e. components, signatures, ...) from 9.6.04 or I can only re-compile all on IDF 9.6.07? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance Best regards Paolo

hard to handle handles collectionsAuthor: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) After all these years, there was a reply on my wish http://unifaceinfo.com/support-handles-occhandle-in-lists/#comment-11058. It was a great experience that Mike Tailor took some time to discuss alternatives with me; thanks a lot for this new feeling. In his eMails, he mentioned an option (which is possible from 9.7 onwards): With structs it is easy to create such a list and use it To add a handle to a list you can use vStruct->handle{-1} = $occhandle(ENT) ; Add a collection handle And to use the handle there is no need to first get it out of the list vStruct->handle{1}->op() ; Execute the operation "op" for the first instance of member handle As most of us like me will be 9.6 based for a longer time, here some hints in my reply: thanks for making it clear the your example runs in 9.7+ only.

Is it possible to use an invariant culture to pass data using XMLAuthor: mmontealegre@commandalkon.com (mmontealegre) We have a project where we are passing data to a reporting tool using XML. Currently our code sets the $nlslocale and does an xml save, like so $nlslocale = var_sNLSLocale xmlsave var_sFastReportXml, "DTD:DTDFROSCH.CMDSERIES" If you examine the variable you will see date/time fields are different if you change your nsllocale between US, Italian, Dutch, Finnish.  Our problem is for Finnish in particular, although I suspect some other European countries might have similar problems. In Finnish the date looks like such (notice the periods in the time)   <START_TIME.SCHD.CMDSERIES>27.3.2015 10.00.00</START_TIME.SCHD.CMDSERIES> According to windows it should be hh:mm:ss.  So on the reports side it reads the windows setting and using C# code the ParseDate function will fail.  According to Wikipedia, The 12-hour clock is used in

REST enhancements - binary object support with cloud storage providersAuthor: adrian.gosbell@synapse-i.jp (Adrian Gosbell) Uniface 9.6.07/MX06 delivers some enhancements to UHTTP to enable Uniface apps to exchange binary objects to and from cloud storage providers. There are many different providers out there and we have focused our implementation at an API level and focused on Microsoft OneDrive. We know that Amazon has some proprietary tweaks to their implementation of the API, and what we have delivered will not work until we make some additional enhancements to Uniface. We know that a Uniface to Uniface exchange of binary objects will not work until we make some additional enhancements to Uniface.  Both of the above are planned to be delivered in Uniface 9.7, which is planned for September/October 2015.  It is important to note that we are supporting an API, and we are dependant on the various providers not changing things and potentually brea

Best way to add many messages to a UAR file?Author: mmontealegre@commandalkon.com (mmontealegre) I am trying to get a huge number of messages into a UAR file.  The deployment archive editor seems to have an issue when adding more than 100,000 messages at the same time.  When retrieving all those messages in the editor it pegs out the memory and Uniface crashes.  I am currently going through the editor and just retrieving one language at a time (about 16,000 messages) and adding just that set to the archive.  This process gets slower and slower as I add each language, I am on my 3rd language now and it's taking 2 hours to add just it with 10 more to go.  Is there a command line that can be used for this?  I tried this statement urm copy $mss_rep:* NewArchive.uar:* but I just get an error that says "Cannot compile component definition".  I am working in a database repository that started with brand new and just imported my messages via the x

SOLVED: update a $valrep on a DSPAuthor: lammersma@hotmail.com (lammersma) Hi all,   I need a bit of help with a problem I have.   On a DSP I want to update the $valrep of a dropdown. In the debugger I can see the $valrep gets a new value, but in the browser the old values is shown. On the first activate: $valrep of the dropdown is filled with an associative list.  When I push a button in the detail trigger a new associative list is build the dropdown receives the new list as an $valrep as mentioned the debugger shows the correct $valrep, but in the browser the old list is shown... In the SetState contains the default coding. I tried to put the webdefinitions statement in the update part of the selectcase in that trigger. But that does not change anything in the client behavoir.   Kind regard,   Peter

Is there a sample drag-and-drop example I can learn from?Author: justanotherprogrammer@hotmail.com (JEfromCanada) I've been away from Uniface for nearly a decade.  I'm trying to learn Uniface 9, and one thing I'd like to do is implement a form with two lists of text items (one on the left, and one on the right).  I want to drag items (records) from one list over to another, so that an item is either in one list or the other, but not both.   I've briefly tried looking through the Uniface "Help" document, but the variety of drag/drop implementations is overwhelming and I just need to see a simple example I can use as a coding template.   Can someone help?   Thank you.   Jack Eisenberg

$instancemod vs. $formmodAuthor: gianni.sandigliano@unifacesolutions.com (gianni) I am reporting here a question I got few days ago... A VAR is in the process to migrate an old Uniface customer to a new version of the same warehouse management application. This customer is used to an OLD Standard & Guidelines where the user was warned when exiting a form having changed something; this behaviour was managed in the <QUIT> trigger checking $formmod or $formdbmod functions. The new application version is Windows based and have a NEW Standard & Guidelines in place due to a wide use of non-modal forms. This new Standard & Guidelines version the application moved away from warning the user when exiting having changed something because the VAR claims it was NOT able to implement a similar functionality really working with Uniface9 in a non-modal environment. Basic reasons reported are: 1) the different way $formmod and $instancemod are implemented: - $formmod (and $formdbmo

Question - what resolution monitors are you using when developing with Uniface? Author: adrian.gosbell@synapse-i.jp (Adrian Gosbell) We're tweaking the Uniface 9 IDF as part of Uniface 9.7.  One thing that we need to consider is what would be the minimum resolution monitor/screen which developers are using nowadays.  For example the one I'm using right now is 1600 x 900.  I'm interested to know what you are all using.  Just to emphasize, development, not the resolution of the screens you are deploying your aps on. . 

Vertical panel iconsAuthor: roger.wallin@abilita.fi (rogerw) Uniface 9.6.04 and Uniface 9.6.07. Got this question from an Uniface user and I couldn't answer . Selecting panel type "left" or "right" (Setup -> miscellaneous), is it possible to get the icons vertically? At least here it makes a very high row, covering half of the application-screen.
