Why not just shell out to ImageMagick command-line? EDIT: Upon re-reading your post I see that is what you did. :o Let me rephrase my question ... why not be happy with shelling out to ImageMagick command-line? EDIT again: Why not just allow ImageMagick command line to save your file to the...

I had this scratched in some notes for myself but have not yet tried it. Maybe it (plus Google) would be of some help.

I'm banging my head against the wall a bit with regards to the sax parser & hierarchical relationships. Suppose I have some xml representing a hierarchical relationship that I wanted to store inside a table ... something like: <category id="0"> <category id="1"> <category id="2" />...

I wasn't hoping for access to the record buffer ... What got me started on this is the way the Progress documentation refers to the screen buffer (section 9.5 of the Programming Handbook, "Data-handling Statements"). It reads, "Progress stores data in various locations--a database, a record...

Any chance you can use the hidden attribute of a window/dialog instead of positioning it offscreen?

A-ha-ha! Tell me about it. You'd think I'd have learned my lesson. Ya I think Rails would be using all SQL behind the scenes given an ODBC connection to Progress so maybe the exercise has less value than I imagined. I'm definitely interested in learning more about OE10 - just haven't...

Do you mean as far as - it's more of an open-source thing rather than commercially/business-oriented like Progress? I'm asking because for both development & deployment, Windows works fine as well (as does OSX). I used Windows & Apache (and MySQL as you said). However I guess theoretically...

I really like the idea of this. I recently spent some time with Ruby On Rails. It sounds like the ADM is somewhat similar to the RoR scaffolding in that the scaffolding gives you a really easy way to build simple maintenance screens (if interested, see "Creating a weblog in 15 minutes"...

mpowell_esq ... Lol. You're a trip man... No, as I've tried to communicate to you several times now. Thanks anyway.

The more I think about this - you're absolutely right. I should NOT be trying to pass a buffer as it requires UI/DB coupling. I couldn't (elegantly) reuse this code in WebSpeed (for example) because there is no screen-buffer in WebSpeed. I was originally trying to avoid the tedium &...

That's actually part of what I'm trying to accomplish. I want to create routines for C.R.U.D. (on a table-by-table basis) that will reside in UDFs inside (interfaceless) persistent procedures. While I guess I'm not fully decoupled since I am talking about having the actual record buffer...

I'm not sure why you continue to be insulting. However as I said, I'm looking to get at the screen buffer, not the record nor database buffer. So passing a primary key ("row nbr"), as far as I can tell, isn't going to help me as that'd only allow me to read the database buffer.

Whoa, easy chief. :) I didn't mean to offend and no reason to get nasty. I had specified in my post, "I'm really trying to avoid passing individual fields i.e. my_udf(customer.name:screen-value, customer.number:screen-value, ...)". I want an entire record's buffer, not individual fields...

Thanks but I'm wondering if you only read the subject of my post but not the post itself. :) If that is the case I probably should have titled the post "Is there any way to pass the screen buffer of an entire record as an input parameter to a user-defined function?"

Hi all. 9.1E 04, Win32 GUI. Is there any way to pass the screen buffer of a record as an input parameter to a UDF? Similar to my_udf(buffer customer) but using the screen rather than record buffer? I'm really trying to avoid passing individual fields i.e. my_udf(customer.name:screen-value...

Bulklodd pointed you in the correct direction in this thread http://www.progresstalk.com/showthread.php?t=101739

Might want to check out http://prounit.sourceforge.net/

Definitely check out the documentation. The Handbook and Reference books cover all the basics and will get you started. /* untested */ output to "c:\test.txt". for each customer where customer.add_to_system_date = today no-lock: put unformatted customer.name customer.address skip. end...

This is mainly a curiousity issue as I think I'm stuck re-touching 200+ screens at this point. I'm working with an application written in v8. It was known that some of the screens had been manipulated by hand and would no longer open in the UIB. I had anticipated much manual work involved in...

I think I see what you're saying, and that does seem to get a little closer to the approach I'm looking for. I'd probably modify my example like so: def var v-int as int no-undo. function my-int returns int (input v-char as char): def var v-int as int no-undo. v-int = int(v-char) no-error...
