In OpenEdge Architect I have lost the ability to see any visual part of the file. When I choose "View Design" I get this error: VISUAL DESIGNER CANNOT LOAD THIS CLASS An Exception occurred loading the design canvas: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. This happens with a...

We use the Progress built in tables to store audit data and are having some performance problems when trying to bring back the data in a certain way. Here is the query we run: FOR EACH _aud-audit-data NO-LOCK WHERE _aud-audit-data._audit-date-time > StartDate AND...

Seems like an easy question - how do you change the font of the title bar on a frame? When I set the font of the frame - it only seems to affect the data in the frame and not the title bar. Is there a way to change the font of the title bar as well?

We want to install some new fonts on our clients and have them picked up by our applications when the changes are moved to their servers. We have moved the new font files to C:\Windows\Fonts. We have created registry entries at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PSC\PROGRESS\10.2B\fonts and...

Hi, We are using a VB script for an automated process of ours that needs to stop and start our AppServers. When we use this command to stop the app server it works great: C:\Progress\OpenEdge\bin\asbman.bat -name MyAppServer -stop However, when I use this command to start it back up it...

I've been doing some reading on DotNet extensions recently and I was wondering if Progress has something similar?

Hi, I am getting a weird error when I try to do a check on the length of a string (to see if its null or zero) when the string gets past a certain size. I'm enclosing some code that you can use to recreate the error (in my code, I'm not using the DO LOOP, I'm just enclosing it so you can get a...

I have recently heard about this "Dynamic Open Client" as a way to take data from a .p and transform it into a Dataset over an AppServer. Apparently someone has an example of how they did this here: http://www.thesoftwaregorilla.com/2009/11/openedge-dynamic-openclient-java-example/...

We have an in-house DotNet dll we wrote that will be utilized in our Progress application. To get it accessible to Progress we added the DLL information into an Assemblies.xml file. Periodically, we’re running across this error when running our application: "System.IO.FileNotFoundException...

I am building a DotNet DLL and am trying to pass an OCX control to it. On the DotNet side it compiles fine. In Progress, it doesn't recognize what I try to pass into my DotNet method call for that OCX control as a valid object of the OCX type so it won't compile. I only have access to the...

Hello, I am trying to convert some code that looks like this in .NET (VB): Dim mySize As Long Dim myArray() As Byte mySize = AxSigPlus1.BitMapBufferSize() ReDim myArray(mySize) myArray = AxSigPlus1.GetBitmapBufferBytes() Dim ms As New MemoryStream(myArray) into Progress. Here is the...

I am using OpenEdge 10.2.B and need access to the DotNet Long datatype as well as the Byte array. Is there some documentation somewhere that shows me how to reference those inside Progress?

I am trying to output a result I get from the SHA1-DIGEST hash function of Progress to a file. But I need to convert it to a Hex format first. Here’s my code for doing that. ASSIGN hashedData = SHA1-DIGEST(fileData) hexValue = HEX-ENCODE(hashedData)...

The SHA1-Digest function has the following definition: Hashes the specified data using the United States Government Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1), and returns a 20-byte binary message digest value as a RAW value. Yet when I was looking up the definition of SHA-1 on Wiki I...

I'm not sure if this is a dumb question or not but say I have an object that I've built and I want to put it into an array like so: DEFINE VAR myObject AS SomeObject EXTENT 2. myObject[1] = NEW SomeObject(311). myObject[2] = NEW SomeObject(211). and the 311 and 211 are unique id's tied to...

Hi, We have an app where one of the pages uses three smart objects. Once we switched to 10.2.B, we noticed that for this particular page, in certain resolutions, the scrollbars won't appear on the side of the page yet there is part of the page that extends down below the screen (i.e. we no...

I have a need to store data such as this in a text file: ¯-a}vˆ—íU±/ƒ*Á0’…ÜÈ When I was writing it to a text file I was using the EXPORT function and it was adding quotes around my value like so: "¯-a}vˆ—íU±/ƒ*Á0’…ÜÈ" so I switched to the PUT UNFORMATTED function to do it and the...

Hello, I am trying to learn about how encryption/decryption works in Progress. I have a need to build an encryption process for clients who use our software for messages that would be sent from them to a third party vendor. It appears that Progress only uses symetric encryption and that the...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what this error means? It seems pretty non-descript: "Unable to realize MENU widget"

I have recently been looking at how to access the Adobe PDF ocx control within Progress. However, it appears that control is only available if everyone is updated to version 9 of Adobe (another developer in the office wasn't and didn't have the control). While it's not impossible for us to get...
