Hello
Following on from my issues with the inbuilt Windev groupware, I have kept on investigating and have found that the various GPU_ data files can be accessed within a Windev program without using any of the inbuilt GPW functions.
PCSoft kept the original GPW functions for backward compatibility and extended their use to include the newer GPU_ groupware data files.
I have set these options up in the project init code and I can now use the GPU files anywhere in the Windev application
I am not adding or changing any records, just using the data that exists.
LGPWPath = fCurrentDir +"\GPW_xxx" //xxx is the project name
ExtGPU_User is a Data Source
IF fFileExist(CompleteDir(LGPWPath)+"GPU_User.FIC") = True
HDeclareExternal(CompleteDir(LGPWPath)+"GPU_User.FIC",ExtGPU_User,"Password for the GPU_ files")
END //IF fFileExist(CompleteDir(LGPWPath)+"GPU_User.FIC") = True
The reverse is also true and you can HDeclareExternal() Windev files from your application analysis inside the Groupware login and main screens
I am not sure if this process would also work with the older GPW_ groupware files.
Regards
Al
