Hi there That is a different angle to try. I will need to trap also in any datawindow objects but for this window type it just might work. Thanks

Good day fellow powerbuilder-ers I have a challenge - we want [<F1> help] coverage across our application. To be available everywhere. We have already a menu within our main mdi! window. We have other window types we also want <F1> to be used. Response windows we seem to have working by...

Good day I would like users to be able to copy outlook message files to the clipboard (ctrl-V) and paste as a file into a powerbuilder application. We have dragdrop working well, but we have many user working through multiple citrix sessions where only good old fashioned copy - paste works...

It appears there is no other way of doing this except: 1. opening the olecontrol with Activate(OffSite!) 2. manually save document with 'save as' in olecontainer application. 3. manually close document 4. then replace old blob in db with blob from new file using filereadex()

Historically we have been saving blobs into ASE database tables through olecontrol. Now I want to discard the ole container used to open them as the scope has changed to attachments, which have a life of their own. So there are 2 methods currently in saving the files and opening them. I...

Hi there, Thanks for the above Miguel.

Hi miguelleeuwe, Thank you for your BIG help on this one. It has given me many ideas. I am looking at the ClassDefinition() function especially. I see it returns a great deal of properties. If I can find a good way to walk through this structure.... :-) Along with some of the other...

Hello there I have a window object that has the usual stuff on it, with a userobject. This userobject itself has 5 other userobjects contained in it, which each have a datawindow on each among other things. On a window event, I would like the user to be able to create a new window which...

Hi there, We are running PB12.5 and the standard tooltip for a dw works fine in design and runtime when we do not select the property bubble. As soon as this is selected, the tooltip does not display in design or runtime. For an instant we get a little rectangle with hashed border and then...

Hi, I found the answer to this one. I set up in the SQL an extra column: 0 as Rating then on the open event of the window itself I load the row values into the column using setitem(). for ll_row = 1 to dw_list.rowcount() dw_list.setitem(ll_row,"rating",dw_list.GetRowFromRowId(ll_row))...

Hi there, Please help.. I need to build a datawindow that on initilisation sorts data by date. What I need is to set a rating on the oldest to newest and store that number in a column. The user after this initilisation is able to filter and sort on any other column in the dw. I would like...

That is perfect. Thank you. I couldn't see that for looking! Andy

Hi there, I am very new to Powerbuilder 11.5, but now I'm using it on a daily basis and I am on a mission to get my head around it. :-) This is probably a simple task, but I have a dropdown window that has a source that has duplicate values where they are not needed and I would like to get...

Hi Feherke, That is really great! Thank you

Hi there, I have tried to find the answer to what I want to do in various documentation, but when I can not explain it myself very well without an example, I can not search for the solution so easily :-( With an example maybe I can explain it successfully. I have the following table:- id |...
