So, following on from the passing complex data using structs not XML I then discover that there appears to be a behavioural change from when I tried this before (some 10 years ago), either based on the original data being struct, or in the retrieve/reconnect. I have an order/items relationship painted. In the order entity are non-database fields to display the total value of the order (amongst others). This field is passed from the service as null (the field exists in the model, or it wouldn't exist in the component subtypes). If I total this field from the value(s) in the items entity in the postloadoccurrence trigger of the items entity, it is wiped down to null again before the post-load-occurrence trigger of the order is fired. Whilst I can total it in the pre-save-occurrence trigger of the items entity in the service, because this is fired after the pre-save-occurrence trigger of the order, you can't do further maths or comparisons on these totals. It appe

Or DSP - Service (assuming you are using the DSP component subtypes which have no database update functions). So, many many years ago we built our client/server app using uniface lists (and lists of lists, all the way down) to pass the data from the server to the client.  I have tried in the past to switch this to XML transfers with limited success, and am re-trying again to refactor our C/S transfers.I'd like to be able to do without DTDs as these are (from my perspective) just another thing which will prevent the transfer of all the data from client to server unless the programmer is very very careful when adding new fields to an entity that they have found all the DTDs using that entity and included them. When you don't then any existing data is WIPED from the database when being re-saved (may only be true of down entities).  So the DTD is a dangerous hole in the development. Also managing the maps is a pain in the proverbial. I am therefore trying to use co

Hi Unifacers,Uniface C/S environment.The Rich Edit Box available in Uniface is NOT supporting images. I googled a bit and it seems the original Window Control it is supporting them. Is there a way to force the Uniface Rich Edit Box to accept images when an RTF file is directly loaded into it with ^INS_FILE keyboard command or is pasted from another document?...NO, I do NOT need to print that RTF field ( at least for time being!).As an alternative: I've looked also to include Wordpad as an OCX control but with no luck.HTML widget cannot be an alternative here...Any tips, trick, hint or similar experiences? Thanks in advance for any input!Regards,Gianni

Hello together,right now we have to fight on some strange uniface crashes.On the search for help/info, how to figure out where these crashes happen I've found this article in our forum:https://www.uniface.info/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=19492012and especially this one from Stijn Courtheyn: https://courtheyn.be/Uniface/UnifaceCrashHandle.txtUnfortunatley in our environment the registry settings stated from Stijn do not effect in any logging or popups.Does anybody of you know if these settings still work with 9.7.05 on Windows Server 2016?Thanks in advanceMichael.

GuudeWith "fieldvideo" I can set the color of widgtes, this also works with "commands buttons".But when the representation of a "command button" ist set to "windows", "COL=n" will be ignoredSo I read the documentation and found that with "windows" there are a few more properties.But I could not find any line, why "COL=n" not longer working.Is this a bug or a feature?IngoWindows 10UnifAce 9.7.04

So I'm adding component subtypes to pre-existing entities with pre-existing relationships. It would appear that in some (all?) circumstances, this does not create the subtype-subtype copy of the main relationship. If I go to the main entity, relationships, delete the relationship, leave the relationships screen (to update), go back and re-create the relationship, then it adds a copy it to all the sub-types (it does not check or confirm the other relationships from this main entity, they have to be done one by one. Does anyone have a utility to check and refresh all these relationships? I've tried checking in the database, but the info I'd need to map the subtypes is stored in tplactual, and therefore hard to process as data. I think I'd need two copies of ucrelsh and ucgroup in the DICT model to be able to write a utility... Thoughts? Iain

Hello,When migrating forms from U9.7 to UNIFACE 10.3 we were able to modify form comments via our own form tool entry using %%^for carriage return (form comment in 9.7 where in LISTING.UFORM but this is now obsolete and U10 use UCOMMENT.UFORM). It worked wor migrated forms, but after editing in U10 form comments, via IDE, we found that U10, due to new functionnality for style in comment, is adding "\\par" at each line's end. In some cases it adds "\\par}" or "\\par%%^}"Our internal tool was not able to manage adding new line comments with %%^, our text was added but not displayed or not displayed correctly in form comment in IDE.In Debug quick watch window it's like :bla bla bla\\partotototo\\parnewline1newline2But in ide Form Doc section :bla bla blatotototonewline1newline2The workaround was to manage those different cases by adding "/par" on our own new lines and removing }In a form script we need to update text contained in UCOMMENT.UFORM by a

We are trying to add parameters to an existing method in a COM DLL we have written to interface with ms exchange web services. In order to preserve compatibility with previous versions of our app, I have tried writing an overlay method, One with the new parameters and one without. However, the older versions of the app now return a -150 procerror. Is it possible to use overlay methods with the Uniface COM interface? Regards, Iain

Hello,We need to extract a portion of code from the INIT operation. In Uniface 9.7 it was simple to find it with : scan init.uform(my code to search)and using $result for extracting our code.But now with U10 INIT operation is moved in the script container with all other operations and triggers.If I use :scan uscript.uform("my code to search")it will find first occurrence of "my code to search"  anywhere in script container instead searching only in operation INIT onlySo the question is : Can we do a scan in operation INIT only ?(don't know if my question is really clear for you  😉)Bye

Hello,We are migrating our internal tools from Uniface 9.7 to 10. Somes tools needs to access to TPLACTUAL value.In migration doc is mentioned that TPLACTUAL and TPLACTUAL2 are replaced by container UDESCRIPTIONS and trigger are repalaced by USCRIPT.How can we access to UDESCRIPTIONS or USCRIPT (they are not real fields in the repository but "container").For  example after reading UFORM we have to search for a specific code for example "toto=10.5" in UDESCRIPTIONS) in order to display it or to change "toto=11.5".So is there a solutions ?Thanks for helping us 🙂

Hello,We are trying to migrate additional menu from 9.7 to Uniface 10 with no success. It seems we need to add 2 lines in our asn. At this step we have exported/imported our additional menu but there is no simple way to integrate them in Uniface 10.In the documentation we didn't found a good step by step procedure with all explanations.We understood we had to add 2 more lines in our asn :[LOGICALS]IDE_DEFINE_USERMENUS=OUR_MENU1and in the section[RESOURCES]menuplugin.uarBut how ca we reuse our additional menu ??? Where can we find and we build the "Menu plug-ins" component ? This is not clear for usPlease we need help 🙂

Hi All,I've created an ActiveX usercontrol in Visual Studio C# which can be used within the OCX control of Uniface. Interacting with the ActiveX usercontrol using provided methods works fine. But I want Uniface to react on events happening in the usercontrol as well. For instance the user clicks on a button in the usercontrol on which Uniface has to respond. I would like to call an Uniface extended trigger.So far I found a method to bubble up an event from an usercontrol to the parent control, but this seems to be only the case for ActiveX components. I want to expose the event to Uniface extended trigger like explained in the Uniface documentation about OCX controls.Does anyone have suggestions about how to accomplish this.Thanks in advance.John
