Hi everyone. I want to use the unifaceTriggers javascript function in a uHTML widget. The idea is to communicate between Uniface and my page. I want to use a tinyMCE control to allow my users to edit html messages. So I use an uHTML widget with "Use extended triggers" and "Enable Javascript" checked. My html (with tinyMCE) is working ok. If I send a function call from UNIFACE to JS, no problem it works $fieldhandle(TRACEHTML)->$widgetoperation("JS:testText", "Test") But not the other way around. I've got this code in a JS function :             try {                window.unifaceTriggers('testback', 'test');            }            catch (err) {                alert(err.message);            } And my trigger is trigger testbackparams    string p_contenu:INendparams    message/info p_contenu Doesn't work. I've tried with or without parameter, doesn't work either. The unifaceTriggers runs without exception but returns undefined. So there's obviously something I'm doing wrong, if

Hi, what do you think about adding a column to table in SQL without updating the uniface model? The column will contain data from existing columns in the table (based on sql expression) and will be not used in Uniface components. In SQL it is called computed column. Do you think it is OK to use the new column in table without any connection to Uniface? Are there any risks with this solution?

** Update I think this is being caused by a license issue. I am currently waiting to get that resolved and see if it resolves my issue. 6/16/2023I went through the Hello World tutorial for building a web app but it fails with the bright red screen (I even tried importing it) with the error in the subject and the additional information below. I have read everything I can find to resolve the error. I see in the documentation that everything should be installed and configured to work with 10.4.02.007 but I am a newbie to Uniface. I feel certain it's a setting in one or more assignment files.

Solution I tried copying idf.aps from uniface/components file from my uniface 9.7 to uniface 10, uniface/components (as this folder itself was missing, and didn't had the .aps file for unifacen10.)Still getting the same error.

 $CUROCC_VIDEO appears to not work all of the time on some fields in some cases... Is this a known issue. Also,  curoccvideo "*","DEF" had the same effect An example case is if its a dropdown and backcolor has been set.... It is consistent for specific fields in specific positions I also have an editbox for the first occurence for the first time it is the current occurence.... The 2nd time it becomes the current occurence it works.------------------------------Osman Shariff------------------------------

Currently in Uniface, I have found a way to use fields with an IDENTITY declaration in SQL Server. However, it is not functioning correctly due to the loss of data modeling. I am unable to set an ID as the primary key, so I have to maneuver in order to make both a query and a store work within the same service. The way I am using an IDENTITY is as I mentioned before, by setting another field as the primary key and leaving the fieldlist of the entity in the service empty or without the field that has the IDENTITY, in this case, the ID field. The issue with this, aside from the data modeling problem, is that when I perform a RETRIEVE, the ID field is not returned if I use a putlistitems, for example. I have to manually call it to include it in my list. Do you have any ideas or suggestions to address this situation?------------------------------Miguel Ángel Vásquez GarcíaDesarrolladorSelf RegisteredItagui CO------------------------------

What is the best practice way to delete a uniface entity using a uniface component. There is UCGROUP and UCGROUP_ONE(subtype) both related to UCRELSH To do it correctly, in one remocc,  I see the need to create a subtype UCRELSH_ONE in DICT. The alternative is to do 2 remocc's... UCGROUP and UCGROUP_ONE or, is there some other way? ------------------------------Osman Shariff------------------------------

Hello everybody,   I have to build a new form with a painted html widget for to replace an older form. This form offers some user actions, which can be started with userkey combinations.   I know that I can bring uniface to handle the key combinations rather than the html widget: sProperties = $properties(HTML1)     putitem/id sProperties, "UnifaceKeys", "ctrl+2ctrl+4ctrl+6ctrl+7ctrl+8ctrl+9"     $properties(HTML1) = sProperties The "" is <GOLD><SEMICOLON>This works fine so far. But in our legacy application there are 2 special key combinations...  It's both the combination of "ctrl" with the division key and "ctrl" with the multiplication key of the numeric keyboard.   Does anybody of you know how state these key combinations in order to give uniface control  for them with the "UnifaceKeys" property?   Thanks in advance and best regards ------------------------------Michael RöschAbrechnungszentrum Emmendingen------------------------------

Our shop is in the planning stages of upgrading our Uniface software from version 10.3.02 to 10.4.02. In the past, with DLM license software, newer versions of DLM were compatible with older versions of Uniface so we could install and activate the new license and license software first before upgrading Uniface.Can this be done with Sentinel RMS? Would 10.3.02 run with Sentinel RMS license software?Thank you in advance.------------------------------Jim MitchellState of OregonSalem OR US------------------------------

HiHow do you set up Anywhere Servers being able to use only one common Uniface runtime installation.Anywhere with several Uniface runtimesUnifaceApp1ForUsergroupA           D:\\shares\\UsergroupA\\ Uniface\\bin\\Uniface.exe  UnifaceApp2ForUsergroupB          D:\\shares\\UsergroupB\\ Uniface\\bin\\Uniface.exeUnifaceApp3ForUsergroupC          D:\\shares\\UsergroupC\\ Uniface\\bin\\Uniface.exeAs Anywhere relies on the host's operating system to provide the security necessary to run applications, the user can see those start-icons which they may access. In Anywhere the application is defined in this kind of window. Putting the same Uniface-path in Location-field puts access to every user for any Uniface-program. I would like to install so that Uniface runtime may be installed only once, but the users in different usergroups would see only their own start-icons. Is there an easy way to do this?  AnywhereUnifaceApp1ForUsergroupA           D:\\shares\\Common\\ Uniface\\bin\\Uniface.exe  Uni
