[Guest_imported]

Hi,

does anybody know of any resources on the web that deal with Attachmates Extra Basic Macro Language?

I have found it very difficult to find anything myself.

Thanks.

I have had success creating kind of complex macros using visual basic type commands, but I haven't really got a good handle on how to create dialog boxes and buttons yet. Has anyone had success using Extra as an ActiveX control? I keep getting keyup errors.

How to get the password?
I have a file protected and I'd like to modificate the file.

Thank's

Extra! Client 6.4 seems to cause memory leak. The NT 4 RPCSS service process memory usage is getting higher bit by bit. Anyone encounter same problem too?

I have written many VB and ExtraBasic macros, and yes I tend to see memory leak problems. The only thing I do is to make programs that do end at sometime. It is a bad idea to write a macro that will always run non-stop.

I have gotten the ActiveX controls to work and they work well but I tend to just ref the Session1 using
getobject("C:\PROGRAMFILES\SESSIONS\SESSION1.EDP). The controls need Extra Object 2.1 installed and that is a pain.

Here is a demo on how to use the Dialog boxes in ExtraBasic. You are going to want to use the built in Dailog editor for this stuff. It is pretty nice.
'This ExtraBasic code and will not work in MS-VB
Dim mSelect(3) as string
mSelect(0) = "One"
mSelect(1) = "Two"
mSelect(2) = "Three"
mSelect(3) = "Four"

Begin Dialog dlgForm 3, 23, 175, 74, "Dialog Caption"
TextBox 5, 11, 105, 13, .AppNum
DropListBox 3, 36, 105, 98, mSelect(), .ArrayIndex
OkButton 123, 15, 50, 14
CancelButton 123, 35, 50, 14
Text 3, 24, 35, 10, "Label"
End Dialog

Dim MyDialog as dlgForm
Dim strSelected as string
Dim intSelected as Integer
Dim TextBoxValue as string
Dialog MyDialog 'shows Dialog form

intSelected = MyDialog.ArrayIndex
strSelected = mSelect(MyDialog.ArrayIndex)

If you have the version 6.4 CD there is information in PDF format on in a folder labeled "DOCs".
There are documents on Extra Basic and OLE automation. The version 6.7 CD that out tech support has does not seem to have these documents on the disk. My guess is that they have moved to the Supportweb portion of the website, which requires registration by a licensed user.
