    Convert .r to .p

    I actually sent my .r file (only needed 1 file at the moment) to paid server site listed above and they were able to de-compile the code and provide me with the source code. After a few minor corrections for syntax and things, we have the file compiled and up and running with the legacy app. I...

    Convert .r to .p

    Has anyone used this service and if so does it work? We have a few files for an older legacy app that we no longer have the source and need to change some hard-coded values.

    Title Background Color

    Hello everyone. I have a quick (I hope it's quick) question. I'm trying to change my title background color on a frame and using the following "Frame FrameName:TITLE-BGCOLOR = 12" but this doesn't seem to work. I've encountered this problem before and just said forget and dropped a text box...

    Progress or Microsoft.Net ?

    Here is my 2 cents: I've been programming in Progress for a few years now (since 1995) so I'm a bit biased also but what I can see is that Progress is starting to place more of an emphasis on the dB and "business logic" portions of your application. If I was starting a new application my...

    Install OCX(s) using 4GL

    The way I handle this is like so: since I'm registering the ocx I know the location of the file or where the file should be - just do a search for the .ocx file and if you don't find it copy and register it with the silent option but if you do find it then skip the copy and register.

    Marquee.ocx

    Answered my own question. Since I'm loading my scrolling text from an HTML file I just place tags in the HTML file to change the background color (along with any other settings, fonts... size... colors... etc). Something like <body TOPMARGIN=1, bgcolor="#FF0000">

    Marquee.ocx

    Hello all, I'm working with using the Marquee.ocx to add a scrolling message to our application. Has anyone worked with this .ocx before and if so, how do you manage the background colors? I haven't been able to change the background color of the ocx and the BackGroundColor property doesn't...

    value-changed trigger on dynamic browser

    Thanks that worked. During my investigation I came across Knowledge Base #22047: This Solution describes the functionality of the undocumented client startup parameter, -extravc. In Versions 8.x and 9.0B, when clicking on the current row of a browse, the VALUE-CHANGED trigger is...

    value-changed trigger on dynamic browser

    I'm having problems with my value-changed trigger firing on a dynamic browser I'm creating. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? Progress Version 9.1c - sample below: (also tried it with the triggers statement as part of the assign and other triggers appear to work) CREATE...

    Is SQL92 installed?

    What version of progress are you running? I was under the impression that with 9.1 - By default, databases are configured and started to accept both 4GL and SQL-92 connections.

    Insufficient disk space error (9450)

    OK. We've done a dbrpr to scan for bad records/blocks - no bad blocks were detected, no bad records, no skips or anything else that looks unsual with the output file. Verify the referencial integrity of the disk & controller - I'll have to check with the network admin on this but I think...

    Right Mouse Click on Selection List

    You could use the MOUSE_MENU_CLICK (may not be the exact syntax) trigger on your selection list. This is the trigger that fires as the default of a right mouse click (this would fire on the left mouse click of a user with the mouse set up as left-handed etc...) You could then do some coding...

    Hello there... I'm having a problem with the Adobe Acrobat PDFWriter print driver and Report Builder on win95 and win98 workstations. This combination works fine on the win2000 workstations - but report builder just hangs whenever trying to print to this print driver on win95. Has/does...

    Writing to registry in Win 2000

    In this case there is no speed gain and the 4GL would be the best way to go, but I have a library that contains external procedures that do various things that progress didn't contain and this was just one of the functions that we used (don't remember the particular reason this function was used...
