Good News about WINDEV 24 - 6 years ago

Hi friends, recently, I've been using WD 24 / US intensively and I'm happy report that the notorious "vTable error" is gone. I didn't experience a single crash!

Re: WX installed in 64bit - 6 years ago

Hi, currently only RAD11 doesn't work in 64-bit, there are a few functions (like webify) which work properly in 64-bit only.

Re: WX24 Brochure is out - 6 years ago

Hi Al, the key to using the same code for a dynamic web site as that of a WD desktop application is to split code from GUI. Whether this would help in regards of speed and conversion time, I don't know. I did not and will not put this function ever to a test in real life but maybe, it could be of some help for those poor guys who have to convert a huge WD legacy application into a web sit

Re: Reserved application server on a PC - 6 years ago

Hi Arie, imho, this tutorial doesn't tell us anything about the "Reserved Application Server" which, as the saying goes, provides a SOAP web service for accessing a HFSQL database on the web server. We installed it, testing works, but we don't have an idea of how to get back some data. Most probably, we didn't fully understand the thing?

Re: [WD22] REST service - Error 2605 - Format of binary information is incorrect - 6 years ago

Hi Michael, if the information to be transferred is very large and complex then maybe, it is a bad internet connection. But it could be as well that threads are "fighting" for their share of the cpu time and serializing / de-serializing of the JSON message fails. If data is large I'd look whether there are ways to cut down the amount of transferred data within a single REST oper

Re: [WD] Autolinewrap on a table cell - 6 years ago

Hi Gianno, imho, you can define the maximum number of rows of a table control. You can add an ellipsis and at mouse-over you can show a tooltip which displays the remaining part of the text. The "number of rows" is nice, because a report on the table will show exactly those lines and not more.

Hi Garry, I'm sorry, seemingly there has been an attack on the forum and we restarted the server and repaired the database because access had been denied sometimes.

Re: Project Documentation? crash - 6 years ago

Hi Jim, same here. Printing a full documentation even of a medium sized project will crash. However, cutting the printout into smaller parts is possible. A very old nuisance. There are several of them disregarded for many years. I don't have the slightest idea why "customer experience" is that underestimated in Montpellier. It crashes as well when choosing rtf-output.

Re: [WD23] Edit / Date control - 6 years ago

Hi Piet, thanks! The control itself gets a thick dark-red border which overlaps even the caption of the control (see attached image). Copying the control doesn't help, it changes its behaviour on the new window. The calendar popup looks fine.

[WD23] Edit / Date control - 6 years ago

Hi, this is a program from 2016 and edit / date controls do work flawlessly in general. I added a new window to the program and all of a sudden the edit controls of date type - on this new window only - are becoming ugly when selecting or inputting a date and clicking the date in the control. Is there any known reason or cure?

Re: [WD20] - Possibilities to integrate RFID Reader - 6 years ago

Hi Yogi, just as a general advice: as a maker of software make it your principle to advice your customers of the computer's and peripheral hardware to be used. Don't say: "a handheld" but say which hardware and which brand and OS-version you're going to accept. Never let customers decide about that! We buy our own hardware, develop at least a demo-program to show (us)

Re: [WD20] - Possibilities to integrate RFID Reader - 6 years ago

Hi Yogi, "WHICH reader?" is the foremost question. For integration of any peripheral - most times - there is a type of connection (USB, COM, Parallel, Keyboard ..) and a driver software. There are examples of how to communicate with the reader in the associated documentation. There are some ways to make undocumented hardware usable.

Re: HModifyStructure finds non-existing file (SOLUTION) - 6 years ago

Hi, there were several fCopyDir(..) some lines of code above the HModifyStructure(..) command. One of those fCopyDir(..) commands failed because the directory to copy simply wasn't there. However, it seemed to trigger this problem with HModifyStructure(..) . Lesson learnt: always look whether a directory to be copied is existing and do the fCopyDir(..) only if it is existing ....

HModifyStructure finds non-existing file - 6 years ago

Hi, did some tests of a running program. One of the involved restoring of backups. It doesn't work anymore, HModifyStructure finds a file which is named 0KUNDEN - where a file KUNDEN is in the analysis only. I did all the repairs possible, no success, 0KUNDEN is there and that one seems to point to the phyiscal file BACKPLUS2_KUNDEN.DAT which is a data file in fact. The logical file name

Re: From HF Classic to: HFCS or Sql Server? - 6 years ago

Hi Raul, I understood from your first posting that you want to switch from HyperFile Classis to Microsoft SQL Server Switching from Classic to HFSQL C/S gives much less troubles, of course.

Re: From HF Classic to: HFCS or Sql Server? - 6 years ago

Hi, Switching to SQL Server will cause many additional problems in the program. You need to tell your customer that this will not only add time but also increase costs.

Re: Windows Phone dies - 6 years ago

Hi, same goes for Cortana, which will be "merged" with Alexa or Google assistant. Next, "Live Tiles" will probably disappear from Windows 10. There will be a "Light" version of Windows to fight Chrome and Chrome Books, This "Windows Light" (a name for it is pending) will work without tiles as I heard. "Windows Light" will work not only on proce

Re: Windows Phone dies - 6 years ago

Hi ccc2, yes, Windows Phone is dead, confirmed by M$. Imho, same will apply - very soon - to the "Universal Windows 10 App Mode", I haven't seen a Surface Laptop with a different processor than Intel and in WINDEV we even can't catch a key of keyboard in that mode.

Re: How safe to use HFSQL in Windev Mobile ? - 6 years ago

Hi, the idea behind the "no transactions" of HFSQL in Mobile - aside from technical reasons (connections are frequently lost in mobile environments) - is to use web services instead of direct access to the remote server database. Or replication to ease the "connection lost" syndrome.

Re: [WD19] How to remove all Empty space in a string - 6 years ago

Hi, I don't believe that this is "empty space" - it's just characters interpreted by your computer => screen as that what you can see. Removing that "space" will have disastrous result when uncrypting the string. 1 - Danger! You should use a FORMAT of encryption. Otherwise no encryption at all takes place!! So, it is Crypt(sAddString, "abc123",crypt
