I have an elementid from another piece of javascript, and I'd like to get the relevant field object (technically I'd like to get the relevant occurrence in order to get another field in the same occurrence but never mind that).  So I can get passed in a string with "ufld:FIELD.ENT.MODEL:INST.3". So far (since it's one field I'm doing this for), the best bet I have got is looping through uniface.getInstance("INST").getEntity("ENT.MODEL").getOccurrence(loopcnt).getField("FIELD").getBoundElement().idand comparing the result to the string passed in to get a match.  Is there a better way to get to the uniface field object from the element ID as a string? Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesPci Systems LtdSheffield GB------------------------------

Hello everybody,   I'm facing the challenge to replace (periodically) unicode characters from UTF8-coded files into useful ascii characters in order to store them in an ISO database.   My first idea was working with a database translation table.  But a large DBTT results in poor performance. Additionally I faced the problem that I should use a "W" packingcode and this doesn't work with DBTT.   So we decided to do the replace "manually" at runtime with a "small" uniface proc after getting a $procerror -300 from a validatefield.   I assume one or two of you has had the same problem before and could successful solve it. Does anybody of you have a (ready and proven) translation file or script for this purpose and would like to share it with us? I've searched a lot the web but couldn't find anything helpful for me.    Best regards and looking forward to a reply. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------Michael RöschAbrechnungszentrum Emmendingen------------------------------

HiI'll do a more thorough report about this to Uniface as I get more info.Now just a quick question here, if anyone recognises this problem.Using Uniface 10.4.02.021some of our customers get this error-message The program files are installed on a server but are processed on the client pc. Some of the clients are able to process the program as some can't, ie. they get the above error-message. It seems that the program is correctly installed and the mappings are ok. Now I know that it's working on Windows10 but not on Windows11, but this has been assumed from a very few clients.

Hi all,  We are having some issues with carriage returns (CR) on a text that is later sent via HL7 through an integration engine. The issue is that the HL7 understands the CR as something that breaks the segment and then the message fails. So, we want to get rid of those CRs replacing them with something more appropriate that can be managed by HL7. The problem we are having is how to identify those CR? We already have some code that replaces some 'dangerous' characters with other more appropriate ones, for example, (&, ^, \\, |,….) are replaced with (\\T\\, \\S\\, \\E\\, \\F\\,….). For that, we go through the text using the function 'scan' to find the character to replace, but we don't know how finding these CRs. The application we have is built on Uniface 9.7.05 The field where the CRs are is a Text type field with: Widget type --> MessageBox, DataType --> String, Interface --> C500 Syntax --> MUL Any ideas will be welcome! Thanks and regards! ----------------------

by Anastasios Chatziioannou Accessibility is a topic that is often overlooked, as it affects a small percentage of an average product's users. There are, however, numerous benefits to improving an application's accessibility. Easily accessible applications can reach a wider range of users, enhancing the application's inclusivity and reach. Visual ability, something that can change as we age, drives us to accommodate all users. Aside from the ethical side of accessibility, there are also compliance issues on the legal side, as both European and US digital accessibility standards become stricter. The Uniface lab has been working extensively on improving accessibility for all Uniface desktop applications. The lab has two primary areas of focus: assisting users with compliance with the WCAG 2.0 web standards (as in DSPs) and exposing the desktop applications to screen readers. In this blog, we will focus on the latter. Uniface exposes the UI (User Interface) of generated Windows desktop

Hi Anyone else faced the next issue ? And found a solution to it?Since we moved our Uniface IDE to Azure VDI it is slower (and thus much less user-friendly).

By Jasper de Keijzer Introduction Welcome to the first in a series of blogs about code editor enhancements we are implementing within the Uniface IDE. In this series, we will share with you some of the features and improvements that we are working on to make your coding experience more productive and enjoyable. The first thing we are implementing is block commenting. Block commenting allows you to quickly comment out or uncomment a selected block of code with a single keystroke or menu command. This can be especially useful when you want to temporarily disable or enable a section of code for testing or debugging purposes. Block commenting works for ProcScript, JavaScript, HTML and CSS code, and it respects the indentation and syntax of your code. In this blog, we will show you how to use block commenting and how it can save you time and effort.  Supported languages. The Uniface editor is used for ProcScript, JavaScript, HTML and CSS. All these languages come with their own way of

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this from?  We're having issues with the 10.3. installation, and I am going to skip it and go for 10.4, but I need to rebuild some stuff for customer installs, and this is the last version we have verified for release.  Unfortunately, I overwrote our copy with 10.3.3.025 so I can't go back internally.  Does anyone have the exe they could share with me, please?

I have 3 forms components that looks partially same with a sub-part containing 31 fields, 29 labels, 2 vertical lines nicely painted. I had to review them. After doing first form I would like to copy the whole sub-part on the 2 other forms.Is there a means to copy part of paint tableau to another? (Of course we need to reserve the space in the entity and avoid overlapping).In Uniface 8 and 9, I did it by exporting the forms in xml , copying the lines in the FORMPIC field and import back.But doing this in Uniface 10, make that the IDE throws exceptions and propose to close (also after restarting the IDE), despite forms look correct and compile without errors.PS: I don't want to use a common overlay component as this forms have to run also in character mode.------------------------------Bertrand DaeneSenior DevelopperCgm Lab International GmbhKoblenz DE------------------------------

We are using the url encoding algorithm to encode a uniface list to be passed as a command line parameter on starting another uniface session.  This appears to occasionally truncate. The spawn command in use says it can take 8K as a command line, and it's definitely not that big.  Is there some other limit I'm missing? Sizes of the parameters on the uniface command line? (Which are picked up in $1, $2 in the aps).  Or, more likely, in the URL encoding algorithm, as per the question.  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesPci Systems LtdSheffield GB------------------------------

I appreciate that with DSPs the answer is just to paint the image widget, however, this is for integration with a java(script) based graphics/graphing utility via JSON data output by a USP, so I can't do that.  I have bitmap data loaded into the database using lfileload/raw, I am trying to convert this to a tag to display an image in HTML <img src='data:image/bmp;base64, DATAGOESHERE'> I have tried variables raw v_raw string v_string endvariables v_raw=$encode("URAW", fieldname) v_raw=$encode("BASE64", v_raw) v_string = $encode("USTRING", v_raw) and then replacing DATAGOESHERE with v_string, this doesn't work (I've also tried it outputting a basic HTML file, so I know it's not anything further up the line which is at fault).  I originally tried without the URAW encode, doesn't appear to make any difference.  The data unloads to a bmp file using filedump/raw okay, so I am going to proceed with a (IMNSHO) 'bad' option of dumping the file into a folder in weba
