Connection (type of variable) WinDEV Mobile (v27)

Hi,
Is the documentation here "wrong" or am I missing something ?
Is the documentation abou OTHER external databases except HFSQL C/S?

[help.windev.com]

The documentation says that Connection (Type of variable) it is not available in Android.
But it seems to work OK and it is even used by PCSoft in a LST 109 example ...


Any Ideas?

Hi,
after some testing and in contrast of what the documentation says, the connection (type of variable) WORKS with Mobile (v27) and HFSQL C/S and Classic.
But if you do not follow a strict sequence of assigns, it will fail - the sequence seems to be important only for HFSQL C/S, not for Classic

Here is what worked for me:

a360_DataBaseConnection is Connection
a360_DataBaseConnection.User = a360_CSUser
a360_DataBaseConnection..Password = a360_CSPassword
a360_DataBaseConnection.Server = a360_CSServer
a360_DataBaseConnection.Database = a360_CSDatabase
a360_DataBaseConnection.Provider = hAccessHFClientServer
a360_DataBaseConnection.Access = hOReadWrite

IF HChangeConnection("*",a360_DataBaseConnection)=False THEN
Info("Wrong connection setup - RDBMs")
RESULT(False)
END

// Open the main connection
IF HOpenConnection(a360_DataBaseConnection)=False THEN
Info("Wrong connection setup - RDBMs")
Info(ErrorInfo(errFullDetails))
Info(HError)
RESULT(False)
END
