100% Height anchor not working in WinDev report (no replies)

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

Wx2024 class date problem (1 reply)

IsmirB — Mon, 27 May 2024 22:33:29 +0200

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(). :)

InfoWithTimeout() does not work properly in Fedora 18 (no replies)

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 (no replies)

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 (no replies)

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.

[WD18] PopupMenu problem (no replies)

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.

[WD18] User Groupware not working in Manual mode (1 reply)

Al — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 19:10:26 +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.

[WD18] The filter option on Check box columns in tables does not work (no replies)

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 (no replies)

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 (2 replies)

Al — Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:25:06 +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 (no replies)

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.

hReadSeekFirst bug in Webdev(16) PHP/MySQL native (no replies)

Piet van Zanten — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:46:19 +0100

Hi,

When using this syntax in Webdev:

IF hReadSeekFirst THEN .... ELSE ......

In Webdev PHP/MySQL HreadSeekFirst acts as HreadSeek:
It returns True and returns the next record if not found.
However: hFound()=False

Workaround: use if hFound() instead.

Reply form PCsoft: the problem will be fixed in the next version. For now, use the workaround
Note: the problem occurs only for PHP with MySQL native access.

Piet

Error when sending mail using variable (2 replies)

Whenever I try to send an email using an email variable, I get the error "unable to send message without specifying sender".
This problem does not occur when using the email structure, but I need the variable because I need to pass it further around.
This is my current code, in which I clearly specify the sender.

[WD12] Memory Leak (no replies)

Hristo Dimitrov — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:45:14 +0100

Hello guys,

I've found the following memory leak issue using Windev 12:

When creating WDL which will be used in Windows Service, you have to define three functions : "InitService", "Service", "FinService";

This example produces memory leak :

//------------------------------START OF EXAMPLE-------------------------

PROCEDURE Service()
IF gbCurrentService THEN RETURN
gbCurrentService = True

IF gbInitSuccess THEN
vPerformArchSearch()
END

gbCurrentService = False
gbFirstStart = False
END

PROCEDURE vPerformArchSearch( )

HReadFirst(Backups)
WHILE NOT HOut(Backups)
aaExt is associative array of string
aaPrefixes is associative array of string
aaFilters is associative array of string

aaPrefixes[Upper("DO")] = Upper("DO")
aaPrefixes[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")
aaPrefixes[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")

aaExt[Upper("DO")] = Upper("DO")
aaExt[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")
aaExt[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")

aaFilters[Upper("DO")] = Upper("DO")
aaFilters[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")
aaFilters[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")

....... // Other code

HReadNext(Backups)
END
END

//------------------------------END OF EXAMPLE----------------------------

It looks like the memory of the three associative array variables are not cleaned at the beginning of each loop!

The work around is the following:

//------------------------------START OF WORK AROUND EXAMPLE------

PROCEDURE vPerformArchSearch( )
aaExt is associative array of string
aaPrefixes is associative array of string
aaFilters is associative array of string

HReadFirst(Backups)
WHILE NOT HOut(Backups)
ArrayDeleteAll(aaExt)
ArrayDeleteAll(aaPrefixes)
ArrayDeleteAll(aaFilters)

aaPrefixes[Upper("DO")] = Upper("DO")
aaPrefixes[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")
aaPrefixes[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")

aaExt[Upper("DO")] = Upper("DO")
aaExt[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")
aaExt[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")

aaFilters[Upper("DO")] = Upper("DO")
aaFilters[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")
aaFilters[Upper("DO1")] = Upper("DO1")

....... // Other code

HReadNext(Backups)
END
END

//------------------------------END OF WORK AROUND EXAMPLE---------

Please try this code in WD14, WD15, WD16 and see the results!

[WD12] HyperFileSQL CRASH (no replies)

Hristo Dimitrov — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 11:26:28 +0100

Hello guys,

I have the following issue using HyperFileSQL ver 12 :

HyperFileSQL is running on Windows Server 2008 Standard 64bit on pure Hardware (NO VMs)

Once every 5-7 days HyperFileSQL crashes and restarts itself with the following message in "Windows Logs View" :

"Faulting application Manta64.exe, version 12.0.2.600, time stamp 0x4810d7fc, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00000000202444cd, process id 0xa50, application start time 0x01cca8216d7f34b0."

Has anybody experience this ?

I also notices that if you set HyperFileSQL to use only, lets say, 4GB of memory, it always discard this and continue to consume more and more memory, until it CRASH!

Best regards,
Hristo Dimitrov

[WD16] Disappearing scroll bars (no replies)

Al — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 04:46:25 +0200

Hello All

The vertical scroll bars come and go from the project explorer pane
They also do the same in the code windows.
I don't believe this is a hardware or graphics card issue because it happens on a variety of work stations and has been a problem for some years now.
In the code windows you can get them back by stretching the window but the only way to get them back in the project explorer is to close and restart Windev.

WB16: Can't read TablePosition in Ajax table (no replies)

Michael Q — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 12:24:13 +0200

Setting the TablePosition in an Ajax table works OK.
But reading the TablePosition does not.
This code does not work in an Ajax table.
iMyTablePosition is int
iMyTablePosition = TablePosition(MyTable)

PCsoft's response is:
"I'm replicating the problem here and it has been forwarded to our developers. Please use the following reference if you contact me on the same subject #72 886/442681.

Strangely TablePosition() is working when the AWP mode is used. This can be a workaround for you."

Bug with Radiobuttons (3 replies)

Scott — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 01:14:33 +0200

WinDev 16
RAD generated data entry window for a non-relational database
Five choices for the radio buttons
Display mode = STANDARD

Why won't the TAB key select the radio buttons on the data entry screen? The cursor will jump OVER the radio buttons to select the next data entry field located directly under the radio buttons. If I use the TAB key to cycle through all of the data screen elements the radio buttons are NEVER selected.

Forward Compatability (no replies)

John — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 23:15:25 +0200

Hi,

Not really a bug, but something that does need addressing, at least IMHO.

Why is it that if I have an application running on WM14 framework and then build an application in WM16, I either have to update the WM14 app to WM16 or I have to have both Frameworks running on the Mobile Device? Why can't the V14 application run on the V16 Framework?

Its a real pain in the backside to have to update every application, and it's not something I'm very keen on doing, being somewhat cautious of PCSoft and 'new' features !

Report Print Preview - one button displays French tooltip text in English language application (no replies)

scott — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 20:52:08 +0200

In my compiled WinDev 16 application, when I display one of the RAD-generated reports in the print preview screen, there is one button in the print preview screen whose mouseover tooltip displays in French instead of English (I live in the U.S., and chose English as the default language).

The icon is displayed in the top row, fourth icon from the left - the icon has the letters "X" and "Z" with a smaller icon of a 1.44MB floppy disk displayed. The mouseover tooltip says:

Enregister un Duplicata

All the rest of the mouseover tooltips for the print preview screen displayed in English.

How can I fix this English / French language problem?

Debugger still stops at point where breakpoint was (1 reply)

InSimulatorMode - WDM (no replies)

John — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 19:26:18 +0200

If a WinDev Mobile app has InSimulatorMode commands in the code, at random intervals when running the code the Mobile will crash out with a GPF when it gets to the InSimulatorMode command. The program can run for several days without a problem but then suddenly crash out upon hitting said command. Also happens with the SIP commands too. Happens on WDM 14,15 and 16 on multiple devices.

WD Mobile Debug on Phone (no replies)

John — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 19:23:30 +0200

When attempting to debug on a PDA, if the PDA has any less then 60MB free of RAM then the debugger crashes out. Tried this on about 3 different types of mobile device, using WDM 14,15 and 16. With all of them, unless the phone is practically brand new and got hardly anything installed on it, the debugger will refuse to run on the phone.

[WD16] Can't drag and drop windows in the explorer pane (2 replies)

If you have a large number of folders inside the "Windows" folder in the Explorer Pane it is impossible to reliably move a window between folders because the target folder moves away as you move the mouse closer to it.
