    Defaulting To Previous choices

    You usually have to display the combo box field after you have assigned the default value to it, in order for the value to be shown. eg. assign cb_option = v_containingdefaultvalue. display cb_option. If the combo box is a list-item-pairs type, the value you are assigning must be the code, not...

    Read a continous signal from the port com1

    Hi friendly64 Don't worry too much about your English - I'm from England, and our English isn't so good either :-) We have a guy here who used to use Progress to interface to scales which weigh chickens... Can you just clarify something - what is the string of 7 bit character values which...

    Array question - EXTENT 2 INITIAL["ONE":U, "TWO":U]

    Hi Steve You've forgotten your TranMan! ':U' makes the string untranslatable in the translation manager, so that string literals which are hardcoded (usually program switches) don't come up in the list of things which need translating in to the user-facing language, thus avoiding somebody...

    I Want to Learn Progress

    A lot of up to date Progress documentation, including examples etc is now available online at: http://www.progress.com/v9/documentation/index.htm The White Star and Que books were always well regarded, although the problem now is that Progress has spun off in a number of different directions...

    How can I hide controls in a form?

    This is a blast from the past - I had completely forgotten about it. No I didn't find a solution, so left it as described above. Personally I wouldn't bother too much about NN4.7 any more unless you have a NN4.7 intranet or are particularly attracting NN4.7 traffic. Analysis of traffic to one of...

    webspeed with html centering an image

    middle is used for vertical alignment, ie VALIGN="MIDDLE". For horizontal alignment use ALIGN="CENTER" (American spelling!). Centering (or centring!) only works within the surrounding HTML box so if you are trying to put the image in a table and not explicitly making the...

    Can I run a .p or .r file from a .bat in NT?

    Is it only 100 emails a day on the PEG nowadays... :-( It used to be nearer 200 when I subscribed a few years ago. I went on extended holiday for 5 weeks, came back to 5000 emails! Catching up kept me occupied for a couple of days... :-)

    Progress Begginers help

    There is a Que Special Edition book for Progress V8, I don't know if there is one for V9. There are also books by White Star that are very well respected which you may be able to track down. One problem with Progress is that it is becoming a collection of technologies so where once it was...

    PRINT LANDSCAPE WITH CSS PROBLEM

    I tried doing similar in IE5 when working on printing for an intranet application. The facility doesn't work due to a problem in IE5's print engine. There is an explanation on Microsoft's site but I don't have the reference to hand.

    How can one come a legitimate Progress 4gl developer?

    I guess it all depends on copyright of the individual components of the program that is to be created. If the code is pure ASCII and developed entirely by the programmer then the copyright in the code originates with the author, although it may be assigned (check law in all relevant countries!)...

    How can I hide controls in a form?

    Thanks for the example Jared. In NN4.74 the onChange gives the JavaScript error "this.form.don.style has no properties". NN6 is implementing the new style DOM. Your example also works in IE5.00.2314.1003 . As my page is destined for the web rather than intranet, version 4 browser...

    How can I hide controls in a form?

    Hi all This one's giving me a headache too. I am wanting to dynamically hide and view a couple of combo boxes, depending on the value selected in a third combo box, which is no problem under IE but I am trying all kinds of things under Netscape. I tried putting the combo boxes on a layer but...
