Hi Unifacers,I am requested to try to configure 3 different basic modes for Uniface entity grid different usages, while leaving original logical widget egrid into .ini files untouched.Differences are quite simple:; The original one:- Egrid=egrid(font=editfont;labelfont=editfont;bordertype=flat;bordercolor=silver); The new ones:- Egrid_std=egrid(font=SansSmall;labelfont=SansSmall;bordertype=flat;rowheight=16px)- Egrid_dense=egrid(font=SansTiny;labelfont=SansTiny;bordertype=flat;rowheight=12px)- Egrid_rare=egrid(font=SansLarge;labelfont=SansLarge;bordertype=flat;rowheight=20px)Now with first tries I've found more issues:1) During development I cannot see my new logical widgets available to apply them to an entity.2) If I force them into repository I do not see them working properly: neither fonts or row height.3) After having applied solution #2, reentering with into component using it show entity widget as "(Unknown)".In a sentence: it does NOT work!Questions:- Had anyone

Setting up a connection to an MS SQL Server instance using an ODBC Data Source defined as User DSN or System DSN works fine. But in an environment with dozens of server environments and hundreds if not thousands of clients, User DSNs and System DSNs are hard to manage and distribute.File DSNs could be a solution to that problem, they are easy to manage and distribute, but ... I can't seem to get the Uniface MS SQL Connector to connect to an MS SQL Server using a File DSN. The Internet is full of examples of how to create a File DSN, but I couldn't find any example showing how to use a File DSN in e.g. Excel either.Anybody having success with File DSN's for the Uniface MS SQL connection? If so: what does the MSS path definition in your .asn file look like?

With uniface 10 and the Uniface 10.3 IDE Utilities, i have errors when i try to create table script.22018 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'T' to data type bit.Why are thoses errors only when i try to create table script.P.s Entities was imported from 9.7

For example, if you run:/sto /mwr=ws XPTOafter processing the IDF opens informing you that it has finished running. Would it be possible to run the command and the screen close automatically?

Hi,I am new to uniface tech. I came across a performance issue in a uniface screen which has Select All button which when clicked by user it will color all the records with grey color to indicate they are selected (just like excel) but it takes more that 5mins to color all the records (10,000 records) with each record having 12 fields. Below is code snippet request you to suggest how performance can be improved.l_curocc = $curocc (entity_nm)l_totdbocc = $totocc(entity_nm)l_tot_flds = $itemcount(l_fieldnames)setocc "entity_nm", 1repeatl_cnt = 1            while (l_cnt <= l_tot_flds)            getitem(l_fieldname, l_fieldnames, l_cnt)            scan l_fieldname, "PBTN"            if ($result <= 0)

Hi all,some Microsoft OCXs need input/output parameters defined as a pure sequence of bits.Is there a way to compose such a sequence using Uniface variable types and/or functions ?Many thanksLuigi

Hello guys,XMLTRANSFORM, an operation of component USYSXSLT (Uniface component that provides services for transforming XML streams at runtime using XSLT stylesheets) does not return any status after the transformation is done. It returns an empty value/null instead of a negative one or 0 and the transformation is not done. Have you ever faced that issue? We did an upgrade from Windows Server 2012 to 2019(on the Citrix) but we are not sure if this has caused the issue. Thanks in advance for any help.Dominik

I am looking to find the equivalent of 'detach from template' in UV10. I can't seem to remove the inherited from component, or change the inherited status. I suspect that if I could, I'd have to copy/change all the code from the template as well. Is there an option somewhere which duplicates the old function? Sometimes I want to use the template as a starting block but then change out some stuff. (Like removing panels and menus, rather than replacing them). 

We have imported forms into Uniface 10.3 from Uniface 9.7 and they are not listed under a project. When we create new forms or modify existing forms (or other objects) do they have to be under a project? How does having forms under a project influence how they are compiled, deployed and run?

Uniface 10 gives different result by putting date in string field$string$ = "%%$string$%%%3;"    $string$ = "%%$string$%%RCO_DT_BOEKING.REKCOUR%%%;"In uniface 9.7  on Windows server 2012 this results that $string$ is filled with  "3;15-03-2021;"In uniface  10.3 on Windows server 2016 this results that $string$ is filled with  "3;15-mar-2021;"The date format now gives an issue in the following process since the string has an fixed length.The windows lanquage and date/time setting are checked on both servers and set the same. the field RCO_DT_BOEKING.REKCOUR has as display format DIS(dd-mm-jjjj)

So, I am compiling an entity in the IDE because the output from a full compile has given me a warning about "fixed lengfth interface possibly incorrect". This is the output in the compiler window in the IDE(f). Analyze entity: HTMLEDITOR.SYSBUTTONS Compile done: [info 0, warnings 3, errors 0] Compile entity: HTMLEDITOR.SYSBUTTONS Compile done: Entity compilation: (collection operations): [info 0, warnings 3, errors 0] Compile entity: HTMLEDITOR.SYSBUTTONS Compile done: Entity compilation (occurrence operations): [info 0, warnings 3, errors 0]HOw can I get at what the 3 warnings are? I've tried gold-M, no help. I can't find the warnings anywhere I look. Seems cruel to tell me they exist but not show me what they are... inquiring minds want to know. Iain

We have a lot of uniface objects in source control that were created before uniface 9.7.  How would we convert these so we can import them into Uniface 10.3 for development once we have upgrade to 10.3? Otherwise we are thinking of keeping a machine installed with uniface 9.7 so we can import them into this environment and then export them into uniface 10.3.

HiI want to know what's the purpose of this:<div style="display: none;" data-uf-type="parkingPlace"></div>And if there is a way to configure it or deactivate it?Regards

Hi All,Analyzing a Uniface struct, obtained from an xml, I have found this construct:[theStruct]   [$tags]      [nametag] = value_nametag      [typetag] = value_typetag      [reference] = value_reference   [name] = "value_name"      [$tags on scalar member]         [namescalartag] = value_namescalartag      [$tags]         2ndnametag = "2ndnametag_value"Being my first time to focus on [$tags on scalar member] I was wondering which could be the correct syntax to refer to them. I've found the obvious:a) pointing to [$tags on scalar member] collection:    name->$scalar->$tags         or    *{1}->$scalar->$tagsb) to get [$tags on scalar member] collection size:    name->$scalar→$tags->$collSize     &nb

How do I change the behavior so that it opens the ulibrary.chm file specified in the common\\adm\\usys.asn file instead? Or how do I get the F1 to take me to the ulibrary.chm file?

Hi all,When a split bar is hidden, it is just defined from the designer/programmer to be useful for other presentation reason(s).Could /should an hidden split bar, either horizontal or vertical, be defined 1px large instead of the default 4px?Gianni

Created by Jonke Korzelius, April 26, 2021In the upcoming new release of Uniface 10.4.01, we are making a technical upgrade to our IDE repository to prepare for future enhancements. In an Plan your repository migration to Uniface 10.4, we explained that you have to plan for a migration. In this blog, we take a deeper dive into the changes we are making and how they will affect you.A new minor version for Uniface allows us to make changes in the fixed length sections of the repositories' entities. Although we can make changes in the variable length sections of repository entities in a patch release, changes to the fixed length sections can only be made in major and minor versions of Uniface.So what are these changes?We are extending the field sizes for Description (UDESCR) and Alternative Name (UALT_NAME) properties to make it easier to search and find development objects and templates more easily. The Smart Suggestions feature searches these fields to look for matching objects, so bein

Created by Jonke Korzelius,  June 1, 2021A minor version update for Uniface, what does that mean for you? There is an upcoming new release of Uniface 10.4.01.In this blog we will look at what this means for migrating your Development Environment's (IDE) Repository. Upgrading to a minor version gives the Uniface Lab the opportunity to change the physical table definitions. We changed some fixed-length fields of the Repository's entity definitions to support future enhancements to the IDE.To take advantage of these future IDE enhancements, you have to recreate your database table definitions. To do so, just export your existing Repository data and then import it into 10.4.01.  Tables are automatically recreated using the new entity descriptors when you import. This is a technical migration to your Repository database; we are not re-mapping, splitting, or merging fields in any way. Application data can be used as-is in 10.4.Uniface 10.4.01 will not start if it detects you are u

We are looking to migrate from Sybase to MSS. At the moment we connect to Sybase with Sybase connect and a username password in the asn.I believe it is more difficult with MSS. You need an ODBC driver and need to add some information stored on your client in the ODBC Data Store manager.This is no problem for 1 or 2 databases. But we have around 25 databases in development, 30 in test and around 15 in acceptance environment...Does anyone have a good suggestion how to handle this? urouter? Or?
