100% Height anchor not working in WinDev report

will — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 15:01:40 +0200

Hello everyone,

I've been having a bit of trouble aligning my "END_BREAK1" block to the bottom of my report, and am unsure if I'm doing something wrong. In the attachments, you can see the signature area is far too high up on the page, and despite trying to set the entire block's height to 100% via the anchor property and anchor its sub-elements to the bottom of said block, this approach does not seem to have any effect whatsoever.

I've tried this without and without the page break after the block with no luck. The page footer and End of document elements are invisible if that would make any difference. Originally, I was conditionally toggling the visibility of the page footer element and using it to contain the signature area, but this had some strange effects of its own and it's much easier to separate elements with a break element.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this just a legitimate bug?

Thank you,
Blake

Re: Wx2024 class date problem

Wx2024 class date problem

IsmirB — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 11:29:41 +0100

Hello.
If you define class and have member type date, you have a problem !!!!
Example:

cCustomerPaymet is a Class
m_nLineID is 8-byte int
m_dPaymentDate is date
m_cyAmount is currency
m_sCustomerName is string
END

Then you create instance of class

clCustomerPayment is cCustomerPayment
Info(clCustomerPayment.m_dPaymentDate)

You will get today date. ex. 20240128
If you define member date as string: m_dPaymentDate is string
Then your class will be ok and your: m_dPaymentDate wil get empty string
This is big problem if you use DataBinding over class members becaouse , instaed empty field you will get todays date(). :)

Re: Windows 7*64 + Virtual XP + WinDev

WoodrowClarissa — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 08:03:36 +0100

WinDev 5.5 and some later versions do not work in a Windows*64 environment. For maintaining 'old' versions of WinDev software on a 64-bit Windows computer there must be a working 32-bit environment! The cheapest solution for running WinDev 5.5 would be to use Windows 7*64 together with Virtual XP*32 from Microsoft. Theoretically. In reality, the most expensive solution is left to us: VMware Desktop (US$ 189,- + Windows XP, (~ 120,- Euro).

InfoWithTimeout() does not work properly in Fedora 18

Peter Hite — Fri, 01 Jul 2016 22:27:16 +0200

When InfoWithTimeout is Run, the first instance does not have thetimer running and it never times out. You get the error in the debug window of:
QTimer can only be used with threads started with QThread
So it looks like a kde error.

Once you press ENTER, the next instance works great.

[WD18] 'store the column configuration' not working and workaround

Jose Antonio Garrido — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:58:42 +0200

Hi.

The option 'store the column configuration' aviable on tables (inside description window), will not work.

To make it work, you must also enable the window option "store the size and position of the window".

Well, to be more specific, its only required that you activate "store the size and position of the window" at least one time and execute the application. After that you can uncheck "store the size and position of the window" and the table store the column configuration correctly.

José Antonio.

[WD18] Browsing Table "Programmed browse" same as "automatic browse" and workaround

Jose Antonio Garrido — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:47:16 +0200

Hi. I will explain it with a example. On a browsing table based on a query wich has a order by date clausule:

---the bug---

1. You check "automatic browse" search item is "name"
test: the table is sorted by name

1.test. Now you check "programmed browse"
test: the table is sorted by name

---the bug confirmed---

2. You check "automatic browse" search item is "surname"
test: the table is sorted by surname

2.test. Now you check "programmed browse"
test: the table is sorted by surname

---workaround---

3. Now you go to the "modifier" pane (on the optional panes), and just delete the value of "browsed item"

3.test the table is sorted by date, as defined in the query.

José Antonio.

Re: [WD18] User Groupware not working in Manual mode

Hi Al, did you know that gpwLogin(..) now accepts two parameters? This may interfere with HChangeDir(..) commands etc. Have a look where your gpw-files actually are.

[WD18] PopupMenu problem

Al — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 19:06:04 +0200

Hello All

I have a habit of creating new windows by using SaveAs on an existing window. This causes problems in V18 if the window has a popupmenu.

The new window has the popup menus from the original window and in this case I modified two of them - I changed the menu name in the description panel and created new sub menu options.
The problem is that when I first open the popup menu screen in the window it shows the orignal menu names and I can no longer access the third menu option to change it or delete it.
Even though the window shows the wrong menu names, everythings works as expected and clicking on the wrong menu name brings up the correct menu.

I gues the best thing to do if you have popup menus in a saveas window would be to try and delete them before doing anything else.

Tech Support have been notified

[WD18] User Groupware not working in Manual mode

Al — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 19:00:48 +0200

Hello All

I have an intermittent proble with the User Groupware in HF Classic
If you use the new windows it seems to work ok but if you try and use the older style groupware windows then I have one project where they work fine and another where they don't.
In both cases the projects have identical code in the project init leading up to the call to GPWLogin(). Both projects set the groupware to run in manual mode so it should run all the project code until it hits the gpwlogin() function. In one project this does not happen and the groupware triggers as soon as the exe starts, so it is ignoring the setting of manual from the ide workshop section.

Re: [WD18] SaveAs overwrites window operating system name

Al — Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:25:06 +0200

Hello Guenter

I don't think it is that old.
It must have been introduced in V17, which I skipped, because I am still working in V16 and a SaveAs in V16 calls a filename/directory dialog box to nominate the SaveAs file name. I only noticed it when I started a small new project in V18.

Second, if I change the Title of the window, this also overwrites my window name.

Hi Al,
this is a quite old one and I'm used to edit the lower input field first and then go up to the first field. In this case it will keep the original name.
Thank you for reporting it. I did not because I got so used to it. An old 'friend' so to say.

[WD18] The filter option on Check box columns in tables does not work

Al — Thu, 27 Jun 2013 12:29:04 +0200

Hello All

Another long standing bug since tables were introduced.
The check box column offers a "magnify" option and you can tick it. The table ignores the setting and no filter option is offered.

[WD18] Exit code on check box table columns does not execute

Al — Thu, 27 Jun 2013 12:26:25 +0200

Hello All

I have given up trying to get this one fixed as it has been around since the tables were introduced.
Any code in the exit event of a check box column in a memory table is not executed when the user click in the column and move on. The work around is to put the code in the modify event and it will execute.

[WD18] SaveAs overwrites window operating system name

Al — Thu, 27 Jun 2013 12:23:20 +0200

Hello All

If you do "SaveAs" on a window there are two issues.

First, the dialog refers to backing up an element. I am not backing up an element, I am saving a copy of the existing window under another name. The use of the term "Element" has been pushed into V18 and it is misleading and lazy programming by PCSoft. It is all very well for them to code in the abstract, but when the function is called it must recognise how it is being used and show the appropriate function names. A small point, but I believe indicative of lazy coding practices that are currently spilling over into the increased number of bugs that have plagued the last 2 versions.

Second, if I change the Title of the window, this also overwrites my window name. This is completely wrong in so many ways. My development language has no right to change my program names. Perhaps this is a fundamental misunderstanding between French and English languages, but the TITLE is the name displayed to the user and is is no way the same as the name I give the window in terms of my code. I use prefixes on my window names to help me group them and for quick identification.

[WB16] - Groupware a multiple HF C/S ddbb

Victor Diego — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:22:59 +0200

Hello:
I am developing an application that will be sold as SaaS. At the moment I do not want to use the SaaS management system of Webdev, because I do not want to control prices, occupations, etc.. Just I want each customer be able to connect to their database where users files are for each database.

The problem I have with Groupware management and database HF C / S (Client / Server) is in the login page because I must ask the customer (or database) , the user and password .

When the "Login" page is activated Groupware does not yet know what database will connect. After fill the three data (customer, user and password) I find in other database the name of the database to connect and connect to it. User tables are independent for each bbdd.

Well, so far the background, now explain the problem:

The "gpwOpen ()" opens the login page and then requesting customer, user and password, but once I use it I cannot change the database which acts groupware. According to the manual I have to use "gpwOpenConnection" to initialize the connection parameters and then make gpwOpen (), but if I call for the second time gpwOpen, again requests the username and password, so that I get a loop .

I have tried not to use "gpwOpen" and instead use "gpwLogin" but that function does not find the user if before I have not call gpwOpen. It's like "gpwOpen" were compulsory.
I want ask the tree data: customer, user and password and that user groupware connect to the correct database.

I do not know if I could explain properly.
Did anyone have a similar experience and could help me?
Thank you very much in advance.

Re: Error when sending mail using variable

Jose Antonio Garrido — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 02:02:27 +0200

Hi.

Didn't try in WD 16, but in WD 17 IT WORKS:
-using SMTP or Outlook session
-usuing email variable or email structure.

What it doesnt work is to read messageID from outlook emails, or to set messageID and send the email throught outlook.
I wrote PCSOFT about that problem three months ago, and i think it is very important to identify the emails you send or recive in outlook.

Re: [WD16] Can't drag and drop windows in the explorer pane

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:54:45 +0100

Hello Piet

Just saw your post today. It is still a problem and has been since V12 I think. It does depend on the number of folders and windows. The more you have the bigger the problem.
I have raised it with Tech support but they cannot reproduce it. I think they just don't have a large enough number of windows and folders.

Al

Hi Al,

Indeed, it was like an arcade game, if you could get the moved object into the right folder you hit the jackpot.
But just when I was ready to make a screen recording to report this annoying behaviour, the problem seemed to have gone :confused:
Has it been fixed for you too?
