Uniface 9.5 installer. Author: i.sharp@pcisystems.co.uk (Iain Sharp) When we are installing clients with Uniface to run classic client server, there appears to be no way to NOT install the urouter and apache tomcat servers in 9.5. I'm trying to set up a no contact install for clients, and it appears that I am going to have to install both these services, and then uninstall them from the services on the client machines. Also, it may be me, but it appears to install the DLM for every client as well, this seems unnecessary. (We use the $licence_options asn setting.) I'd rather not have these things installed at all, as that would speed the whole affair up, I am currently going to have to issue uninstall statements to get it all cleared back out again. Am I missing something?

transparent formsAuthor: lammersma@hotmail.com (lammersma) Most widgets on forms can be transparent. I want to go one step further and use transparent forms. Why do I want that? The Uniface application uses overlay forms. A large screen is filled with all kind of smaller parts. Users can 'build' their own screens, by selecting a number of forms. This dashboard works great (for years), but now we would like to pimp it and let users select an image as a background. Any suggestions? TIA, Peter Lammersma

Does it take longer time to compile if you have a lot of comments in the code?Author: knut.ivar.alvestad@logica.com (knutia) A slightly odd question, but is there any sense in that? Can I speed up my compile time by deleting old code and comments? I have a lot, in some cases much more comments than code

Using $setting in 9.3 restricted in size?Author: anne_vw@telenet.be (anne_vw) Hi, we 're using next command: ; Zoek het printadres op in de beschikbare fysieke printers V_INSTALLEDPRINTERS = $setting("", "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Devices\\·*", "REGVALUES") With testing we noticed that the lenght of data returned with this command is limited to +- 300 characters. Te $setting is only published in version 9.5 we are on version 9.3 I was wondering if in 9.5 the returned data is also limited in size. We are planning to do an upgrade but if the problem is tha same we have to look for another solution for this one. Thanks Anne

UXMLREADER has limits?Author: hansen@ahp-gmbh.de (-GHAN-) can anybody confirm that the UXMLREADER (SAX) has a limit when used in "parse"-mode? It always stopps after 20516 Bytes (dont nail me for some bytes, so lets point it out to be 20KB) and returns a FATAL ERROR. ---[this is the Code]--- newinstance "UXMLREADER", lh_uxml lh_uxml->setHandler($instancename) lh_uxml->parse(lv_xml,0) deleteinstance lh_uxml ---[and it ends here]--- The Reader reports: " FatalError: SYSTEMID=UXMLREADER LINE=322 COLUMN=15 MESSAGE=An exception occurred! Type:UnexpectedEOFException, Message:The end of input was not expected " Line 322 equals the 20k limit (20516 Bytes). I tried several streams with the same result. Kind Regards -GHAN-

Help needed with the "Drag and drop"-widgetAuthor: david.andersson@ladok.umu.se (david.andersson) I'm trying to get the drag-and-drop widget to work in our application and getting nowhere. There doesnt seem to be much information/examples to be found on the subject and I can't even get any information to show in my "drag source". The functionality I'm looking for is two listboxes where the user can select one or more items in the left one and drag them to the right one. If there's anyone that can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

Application written in Uniface 9 is slow to startup in CitrixAuthor: davidwarnke@cox.net (DWarnke) We have a customer who is running our application on a Citrix Server. If a user who is assigned to the Admin group starts up our application, it comes up immediately. If a user who is not assigned to the Admin group attempts to start up our application, they have a 2 minute delay. We are wondering if anybody else has had this issue and if DLM is at fault in any way.

Case in-sensetive searchesAuthor: sbpatel48@gmail.com (Sandip) Hi, We are using Oracle, and I'd like to carry out case in-sensitive retrieves. I've got part of the way there, by using : sql "ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP=ANSI","DEF" sql "alter session set NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI","DEF" However, this only works correctly if the complete text is typed, and doesn't appear to work if wildcard * is used. ie Value of the db 'TEST' if i type 'test' and retrieve i get back the 'TEST' record. Type 'TES*', i get the 'TEST' record back but if i type 'tes*, i don't get anything back. Anyone got any ideas, pls. Sandip

Reading logical/physical (index sequential files) in AS/400 – Uniface 9.6.4Author: parcaya@compuamerica.com.ve (parcaya) We need to read logical/physical files in AS/400. There is a driver like SqlServer or Oracle to do it?. In version 7 we did it but now in 9.6.4 we don’t know how. If somebody knows how, we will appreciate. Uniface is installed in Windows. In other words, the communication is from Windows to files in AS/400.

Uniface 9 title barAuthor: None (None) The "Files" area contains an easy work around made by Daniel Iseli (thx!) from Uniface technical support. With this solution you can use the logical UDE_APPLTITLE in your assignment file to set the text in the applications title bar. This software is delivered "as is" no rights can be derived from it. Implementation in future Uniface version is considered.

fileload data in ZIP archiveAuthor: juerg.fross@teamspirit.ch (jfro) Hi all In Uniface help under fileload is written: "The file can be located in a zip archive". I tried a little around but didn't find how this works... Did somebody try this successfully? In my case I have a ZIP "bcbankenstamm.zip" which contains a file "bcbankenstamm". The ZIP is located for example in "c:\\temp" Another question about fileload: Is there any limit of the size of the file loaded with "fileload"? What happens when this limit is excessed? Thanks!

DTD from structure. Author: i.sharp@pcisystems.co.uk (Iain Sharp) I am trying to create a function to 'snapshot' the current state of data on a client form, allow working, and then if required restore to previous state. the 'simplest' method would seem to be to create a DTD from the structure of the form, use xmlsave to put the data into XML and, if required, do a clear and xmlload to reset the data back wheer you got it from. BUT. 1. Create DTD from structure, doesn't pay attention to entity field lists, only painted fields. So if data in the entity is used but not displayed, that data is thrown away by doing this. 2. DTD creation doesn't allow for 'All fields' as a self maintaining concept, If I create this DTD now, and then later add a field to the model, I have to remember all the DTDs which are supposed to contain all the fields for this entity and go round and edit them manually, (and if you've used the default mapping facility adding a field to a DTD then names it using the 'w
