BlackBerry SupportAuthor: rolf.phielix@uniface.com (rolfph) I would like to see this platform supported.

Tree functionality as per IDFAuthor: i.sharp@pcisystems.co.uk (Iain Sharp) In the IDF the tree widget that is used in the edit triggers of the application model appears to allow for stepped behaviour. I.e. there are ellipses (...) displayed, and when focus on the tree widget is pulled down below them more data is fetched. This would be very useful if the tree widget provided this functionality.

$paintedfieldpropertiesAuthor: wva@gypsilon.de (gypsilon) actual Version 9.3: Another item for the wishlist, because it will get more and more important: $paintedfieldproperties doesn't work: (a) within Grids (b) for Labels (c) doesn't work, if a splitbar is painted in the form. ---> The usability is very restricted, and in most of my projects not really useable. There could be one or two workarounds for specific challenges, but that doesn't make life easy. My wish to the lab: make it work! ---> I did not test the $paintedfieldproperties for RTL-Applications yet. A very big question: Does it work like expected? (that is: mirrored in calculation of the position) If not so, I like to post it as an additional item on the wishlist. Many thanks Wolfgang

Feature request: Code snippetsAuthor: martinandheather@gmail.com (byjones) Would it be possible to introduce a feature similar to include procs, but which do not validate. Maybe even include a flag on include procs to disable validatation for that particular proc. I think it would be a good feature to be able to include segments of code, for inclusion into other proc. e.g. define a code snippet of 'standardvariables' in library LIB: numeric vNumeric string vString Then, in a trigger, you would have entry SomeEntry variables #include LIB:standardvariables boolean vBoolean endvariables Any thoughts?

Stop event bubbling in DSPAuthor: philippe.grangeray@agfa.com (Philippe) Hi, when a DSP is nested in another DSP the event is bubbling to is parent. A workaround to avoid this, is to manage this with javascript in the webtrigger: ; -------------------- ; DSPChildren webtrigger onclick javascript stopBubbling = true; // Global JavaScript variable to stop bubbling event // ... // do my job // ... stopBubbling = false; // The event is available again; endjavascript end ; -------------------- ; -------------------- ; DSPParent webtrigger onclick javascript if (stopBubbling) return; // Don't care of the event // ... // do my job // ... endjavascript end ; -------------------- This should done with a modifier in the header of the trigger (stopbubbling for instance) : ; -------------------- trigger onclick publicweb stopbubbling ;... end ; -------------------- webtrigger onclick stopbubbling javascript //... endjavascript end With this, we don't have to manage the event b

Database driver settings per PATHAuthor: tneeskens@itblockz.nl (Theo Neeskens) Currently when I have to access two Oracle databases (or two Sybase ect), I have to use the same settings for both. But often these are existing databases, so I have to use different settings for both. But I cannot configure Uniface to do that. So my wish is to have all database settings in the ASN file on the path-level.

Redirection of compontes at runtimeAuthor: i2stiller@gmx.de (istiller) Mayby some has a clue: I want to "open" a component at runtime from a different directory the defined in the ASN file Assume, there are two directories X:\\ENV_1\\frm\\ X:\\ENV_2\\frm\\ and an ASN file with this line: [files] *.frm     X:\\ENV_1\\frm\\*.frm At runtime, I want to "open" the component (form)  "THECOMP" not in ENV_1 but in ENV_2. e.g.    ACTIVATE "ENV_2:THECOMP" With lines like this in ASN [files] *.frm     X:\\ENV_1\\frm\\*.frm ENV_2:*.frm     X:\\ENV_2\\frm\\*.frm the redirection will work, BUT ... But this will not work, as there is no valid signature for "ENV_2:THECOMP". Any other idea to solve such a

Grid WidgetAuthor: kevin_darbin@hargreaveslansdown.co.uk (kevindarbin) Dropdown list: Can this be dynamic, so when clicked, dropdown widget is displayed and when not focused, editbox is displayed Columns: It would be good if you could hide columns, and also change the order in which the columns are displayed at runtime Command buttons: Can images be displayed on buttons in the grid Hyperlink: Can the hyperlink widget be used in the grid, or could an editbox have a single click extended trigger Row depth: Can the row depth be set in code, so that you can have rows greater than one line in depth Column width: If this is modified, could there be a way to save the width the user has changes it to Column buttons: Could it be possible to include images in the column buttons. This would be really useful to show ascending and descending images for sorting Row Selection: Could it be possible for multiple record selection to be availiable with the mouse or keyboard whilst us

future hardwareAuthor: hirse@bayernlb-essen.com (achimh) I need uniface-deployment on the following platform: Solaris 9 in combination with Sybase 15. My wish: this platform should be integrated in Uniface 9.3

Windows CE (not WinMobile)Author: zdenek.socha@fullsys.cz (sochaz) Hello, we need Uniface deployment to run on Windows CE based mobile devices (such as Datalogic Memor, or any other bar code scanner based device used in warehouses). Please note, that Windows CE is not the same as Windows Mobile. Currently, only Windows Mobile is supported, but most of deviced used by our customers are running Windws CE (mainly warehouse solutions). Kind regards, Zdenek

fileboxAuthor: stefan.hirsch@uniface.com (StefanH-US) Windows has different implementations of the file selection box. Uniface calls  the one used in Notepad or Wordpad, but it has limited functionality. For example, View selections (List, Detail, Tile, Icons) are not remembered.  Word and Excel use a different filebox that remembers the View (List , Detail) and has additional functionality such as previewing the file content and viewing file properties. It would be nice if Uniface would allow a choice which one to use. This should be possible by adding a switch to the filebox statement. Larry Atkins - Proware    

WISH: #includeinherited + #includedefault, allow multiple entry def.Author: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) These precompiler directives should allow additional coding without breaking inheritence. #IncludeInherited adds the inherited sourcecode (model,template) for this trigger and object (entity, field, form) #IncludeDefault adds the current default sourcecode for this trigger and object (entity, field, form) To ease overwriting of entries, the compiler should IGNORE multiple entry definitions and just take the first one.   Success, Uli =========== some info from Andrew Wilkins =========== There is an undocumented directive '#default' which is the equivalent of #include <$libraryName>:[c]default_<$triggerAbbr> Effectively the compiler inserts a #default into any trigger which has no actual code in it

update progress bar during execution of entitycopy command Author: szhu@commandalkon.com (szhucommandalkon) we use entitycopy to archive customer database (as an application module). The table size varies from table to table and from customer to customer. The biggest table we are going to do is 150 GB in size. The whole database copy process takes 40 hours. That 150 GB table accounts for half of the time. Users sometimes may want to kill the application simply because the progress bar does not move and they thought the app is dead. It would be of great help if Uniface has separete work thread to update the progressbar during execution of entitycopy.

auto complete for database fieldsAuthor: None (None) In the web environment there is very helpfull feature called autocomplete. Several customers asked for this feature in our Uniface application. Functionality: starting fill in text in an editbox (database field) there is shown an additional trop downbox. This box offers all field values of the database starting with the text that is typed in the editbox. There should be the posibility to set additional filters.

Dynamic URL for webservice calloutAuthor: martinandheather@gmail.com (byjones) Currently, I have an application which calls out to webservices on a server. However, if this server changes, do I have to regenerate all of the signatures in order to use this new server? If it is a matter of regenerating, would it be possible to add a feature to allow the base URL to be specified somewhere, and then simply change this and recompile the signatures in order to make the changes? Martin

Our customers use $TIMEOUT to close idle sessions. One of them wants to extend the timeout to at least four hours. Author: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) Posted on April 5, 2013 by Daniel Felice to the wishlist: Allow $TIMEOUT values greater than 60 a suggestion can be found at T.U.R.F.: http://hosted.byjones.net/turf/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1579

Themes for Forms ComponentsAuthor: jason_zuvela@yahoo.com (jasonzuvela) I think it would be nice and could add a touch of class if you could apply predefined visual themes to your Forms components. That way it would be easy to change a dull standard grey application into Vista styled application fairly easily. I could also give rise to some very nice professional templates...

REST Web Services DriverAuthor: gianni.sandigliano@unifacesolutions.com (gianni) Uniface Entity Services should be complemented with a REST driver to easy deliver REST Web Services in a Uniface Application. This new driver should enable: 1) direct reference to standard actions (GET, POST, PUT and DELETE) with standard URI to directly implement CRUD actions. 2) indirect reference to standard actions (GET, POST, PUT and DELETE) with standard URI via standard Uniface operations like rest_read(), rest_write(), rest_update(), rest_delete() to enable developer to customize behaviour in response to CRUD actions.
