Re: Looking for feedback on how to help grow the English WinDev developer base... - 1 year ago

Hi, within a commercial environment, "free" is NOT free like in "a free beer" at all. Staff and office rent have to be paid and much, much more. For the purpose of a school, "free" may be sufficient, after all, no projects are to be made there, only the principle of programming is to be taught. Imho, in order to sell a project the GUI is a crucial part of it. O

2024: Sort of items in Analysis is alfabetical - 1 year ago

Hi, maybe, I did not find the correct place to switch ... the analyse's pane shows the items sorted in alfabetical order and not - as from version 7.5 up - in logical order. Is there a hidden switch or is it a simple, uh, issue?

Re: Looking for feedback on how to help grow the English WinDev developer base... - 1 year ago

Hi Steven, there are statistics saying that many, many software projects do fail on their way to users. From 70% (2 out of three) to 30% (1 out of three) they say. So, knowbody knows what's the real percentage. Most probably the reason for failure is distributed between a couple of factors. Persons involved, programming language used, time available, funds available, manpower available ..

Re: Looking for feedback on how to help grow the English WinDev developer base... - 1 year ago

Hi JP, seems to me the question's now: how to find back to the main stream? WINDEV is able to make Java applications from a WLanguage programm, however a bit limited but that could be improved. There's a way now to include Python modules in WINDEV. Both languages, Java and Python, just like C++ are lacking an integrated GUI, imho their immense weak point. WINDEV is able to add the GUI.

Re: Transactions - ClassicHFSQL and 140005 error - 1 year ago

Hi Steven, "Transactions" in HFSQL are still (v28) a dangerous minefield. Most times, WINDEV itself takes care of that and one should carefully consider whether starting a transaction is a necessity for real. Btw, WINDEV + MySQL wis working flawlessly with transactions. I did not check version 2024 in regards to transactions yet.

Hi friends, we are going to move the WINDEV FORUM from the current server (located in Germany) to a new server located in Helsinki / Finland. The old server IP was in a range that had been used by Chinese hackers and we still are blacklisted with gmail, .mail and others. Additionally, the new server is more cost efficient. There may be interruptions of accessibility or funny responses during a

Re: Version 2024 / English is ready for download! - 1 year ago

Hi Marijan, it depends on the number of your dongle. If your WINDEV dongle number starts with W28A... then you can only use updates for version 28. If your dongle number shows W29A... then you can download and use version 29 already.

Re: eInvoicing in Europe - your country specifics - 1 year ago

Hi Michael, it's the common way Europeans are doing things - they invent a new way to do something others are doing already. Everybody has their own "standards". However, the past has shown these small islands of standards are doomed. You'd have to persuade other countries to use your "standard". Cash registers. Each and every country in Europa plus the US of A ha

Hi, B2G per PEPPOL / ERB is mandatory in Austria since 3 or 4 years. It's free. However, they offer a web interface too where you can type in the goods / prices delivered. For companies with recurring services to army, schools etc the web interface is not a practical way to invoice. integration into software and access to a web service is necessary. EDIFACT communication can be done by

Re: eInvoicing in Europe - your country specifics - 1 year ago

Hi Steve, there are two, yes TWO, different standards for electronic invoicing in Europe and there is a de-facto standard which is used by thousands of businesses. 1) EDIFACT is maintained by the Unites Nations. EDIFACT takes care of hundreds of ways businesses and banks could comunicate with each other and with their governments. 2) PEPPOL is an invention of the EU commission and does t

Re: Anyone in the Forum using any Low Code tool(s) ? - 1 year ago

Hi, FlutterFlow offers a small portion of Flutter's range of widgets only. There's a number of stories on Medium comparing Flutter and FlutterFlow. Read them. Mostly not in favour of FlutterFlow. Using Flutter's Dart language, you have to become "fluent" in it which will take about 6 months of using and learning, 4-6 hours per day. Maybe, I'm doing that somewhen in t

Re: Using Globals - 1 year ago

Hi, customers are simply "data" in the database. With the bad "globals" the global varibles are meant. Global variables are defined either on project level or on window / page level like: InvoiceTotal is decimal(7,2). These aren't bad or good, as long as they're really needed they're OK. But one should avoid to declare global variables wherever they could be

Re: WD28 - Printing fields vertically - 1 year ago

Hi Jeff, honestly, I did not expect you to use "reports" for a simple label. It shouldn't be too much of a job to do it using i-commands like iCreateFont, iPrint, iTextwidth, iTextHeight etc. We routinely do label printing with i-commands only. For the reports I recommend to signal that to PC Soft.

Re: WD28 - Printing fields vertically - 1 year ago

Hi Jeff, it's easy, you just have to re-define the label from portrait to landscape! iParameter(iOrientation,iOrientation_Landscape) iParameter(iOrientation,iOrientation_Portrait) - Look at the results of re-defining iPaperHeight and iPaperWidth - Next, maybe, look into the driver of the label printer.
