Re: [Oorexx-users] connectMove, leaving methods
On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 9:08 AM, Staffan Tylen staffan.ty...@gmail.comwrote: Now the problem is the reverse in a way. I have dialog A that does a popupAsChild of a PropertSheet dialog. Hi Staffan, What I want is that this dialog should position itself where it was when it was closed last time. So in the initDialog of class B, which is a subclass of PropertySheetDialog I do: self~getLastPosition forward class(super) continue self~moveWindow(top, x, y, showwindow) But I've found that 'forward' doesn't cause the window to show up, this doesn't happen until initDialog returns to the system. But moveWindow still gives return code .true. When the window shows up it is in it's 'normal', semi-random position. So my question is, where should moveWindow be called from if initDialog is not the place? I think your basic problem in working with PropertySheetDialog dialogs is not realizing that Unlike most other ooDialog dialogs, the operating system manages much of the property sheet dialog itself. So, when I first read your message I thought, well when the dialog is shown, it has displayed the first page. That would be where to position the dialog. If you look at the page notifications, you see that before a page is shown, it is sent a setActive notification. That seems like a good place to position the dialog, when the very first setActive notification is sent. And it does work well: ::method setActive unguarded expose wasPositioned use arg propSheet if \ wasPositioned then do p = .Point~new(0, 0) propSheet~moveTo(p, SHOWWINDOW) wasPositioned = .true end return 0 The thing is, the notification is sent every time the page is switched to. You only want to position the dialog the very first time the page is shown. Note that I am saying *page*, not *propertysheet*. The above code is from the PropertySheetDemo.rex example. In that example, the ListView *page* is shown first, and the setActive() method is a method of the ListView page dialog, not the PropertySheetDemoDlg class. As another point of reference, in this code: self~getLastPosition forward class(super) continue self~moveWindow(top, x, y, showwindow) The initDialog() method of all the ooDialog dialog classes, does absolutely nothing. Forwarding the initDialog method to its super class is not needed in any way, and does absolutely nothing. The sole purpose of the method is to be over-ridden by your subclasses. It allows the ooDialog framework to invoke the method, of your subclass, at the proper point in time for you to do any initialization that needs to be done before the dialog is shown. Now, as the last point of reference, I misread your message the first time I read it and thought you had already tried positioning the PropertySheetDialog in the initDialog() method of the property *sheet* dialog. And said it didn't work. But, that was not correct, you were doing it in the initDialog() method of the PropertySheetDialog. Which is not likely to work, because the operating system is managing that dialog. The best place to do this is in the initDialog() method of the page dialog that is first shown. So, don't use the setActive notification, put the code in the initDialog() method of the first *page* dialog that is shown. From the PropertySheetDemo example, the very end of the initDialog() method: -- Connect 2 list-view events to Rexx methods in this dialog. The double- -- click on a list-view item, and the click on a column header events. self~connectListViewEvent(IDC_LV_MAIN, ACTIVATE, onActivate) self~connectListViewEvent(IDC_LV_MAIN, COLUMNCLICK) p = .Point~new(0, 0) self~propSheet~moveTo(p, SHOWWINDOW) That works excellent, and you don't need to worry about doing it more than once. The only thing is, you don't have to open the first physical page as the first page displayed, That is just the default. If you change that, you will need to place the code in the initDialog() method of each page in the dialog. And then you still need to ensure that it is only done the very first time. Hope that gives you some better understanding of the PropertySheetDialog. -- Mark Miesfeld -- Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.

It means that SQLite was compiled with the threading model of SERIALIZED. It would be 2 if the threading model was MULITITHREADED. If no compile option is specified, SERIALIZED should be the default. As I have no compile option specified when I compile ooSQLite, I guess it runs in serialized mode. But this can be changed using the sqlite_config function. So my question is if this is used in ooSQLite somewhere to set a different threading mode than serialized? ooSQLite does not change the threading model anywhere. The official binaries, that is the ones placed on SourceForge, are compiled with SERIALIZED as the threading model. Nothing is done internally to change that. My thinking is that if serialized is in effect then I should not be able to get the problem that I'm facing and I need to look for another explanation.

Well, on Windows XP and 7 (others I do not know) you may activate a 'key snap-in function' (Einrastfunktion in German) for easy typing. As such you may press Ctrl+Alt+Del one after the other (not simultanously) to restart. ... Also, I'm not sure how the handicapped support fits in here. Normaly it fits quite well, at least for me. What I meant is how the handicapped support fits in with what ooDialog does, how it may effect what ooDialog does. The connectKeyPress() method is relatively simple. Each time a key is pressed down, the operating system sends a message to the window with the current keyboard focus. That message essentially says key[x] was pressed down. ooDialog intercepts that message and, if the key was one that is connected, checks the physical state of the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys, noting if there are currently down or not. Then ooDialog checks to see if the current state matches what you connected. If you have other programs running that change things around in the keystroke buffer, or otherwise change the basic way keys are processed, then connectKeyPress() may no longer work as you want. It is quite possible that either the handicapped support or the Einrastfunktion work by changing the basic way keys are processed. If that is so, then connectKeyPress() might not work well on your system. conectKeyPress() is intended to be a simple way of connecting something like F8 to clear a multi-line edit control. Or to connect Alt-X to close the dialog, or connect F5 to scroll 3 pages in a multi-line edit control.

Re: [Oorexx-users] ooDialog 4.2.3 questions: max dialog windows, dialogproxy, compiled method msg
On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 8:09 AM, Staffan Tylen staffan.ty...@gmail.comwrote: 2. What is a DialogProxy? I get the following when pressing OK after reaching the limit above: Hi Staffan, To follow up with this a little. Each open dialog uses up a relatively large block of memory. The original ooDialog developers set this limit of 20 maximum dialogs open at any one time. If you attempt to create the 21st dialog, the interpreter returns an object, but it does not have that backing block of memory. If you then invoked a method on the object that needed to access the backing block, it would crash the interpreter. The initCode of the returned object would always be non-zero. If it could be counted on that every user would check the initCode every time, then things would be okay. In your program, if you checked the initCode attribute before you popped up the dialog and didn't try to use the dialog if the initCode was not zero, you never would have had a syntax condition raised. For example: dialogs = .array~new(40) do i = 1 to 35 dlg = .SimpleRcDlg~new(simple.rc, IDD_SIMPLE_DLG, , simple.h ) if dlg~initCode 0 then do say 'Failed to create dialog number' i'. Going to stop dialog creation.' leave end dlg~popup(SHOWTOP, IDI_DLG_OOREXX) dialogs[i] = dlg end works fine because it does not try to pop up the dialog if the initCode is not 0. You never would have seen this error: Error 97.1: Object a DialogProxy does not understand message POPUPASCHILD On the other hand, as you demonstrated, we can not really count on every one checking the initCode attribute. The DialogProxy, provides an object to return when the maximum number of dialogs is reached. It has an initCode attribute that is never 0, and no other methods. If you check the initCode, then all is fine. If you don't check the initCode, then no method is invoked that will crash the interpreter, and all is still fine. -- Mark Miesfeld -- Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.

It appears that the item I'd like to see _is_ selected but not shown. I send you an running excerpt from my application to you offlist. Hi Mike, The problem you are having with the combo box is due to automatic data detection. You should read the section titled Data Attribute Methods under The Dialog Object chapter. Particularly the first couple of sections. Problems with Data Attributes has this paragraph: With auto detection on, the states of the dialog controls are set to the data (values) of the corresponding data attributes. This is done after initDialog is invoked. The consequence of this is that, if the programmer explicitly sets the state of the dialog controls in the initDialog() method, the ooDialog framework will then reset the state of all the dialog controls afterwards. This can be disconcerting to the programmer if automatic data field detection is not understood. It is no secret that I'm not overly fond of the whole concept of data attributes. Automatic data detection is on by default. What you want to do is turn it off. You can do that globaly for your whole application by putting this statement towards the beginning of your program: .application~autoDetection(.false) Or you can turn it off on a per dialog basis by adding this method to a dialog: ::method initAutoDetection self~noAutoDetection Basically, what is happening is that, in initDialog() you set the combo box to select item 4, and then after that the framework sets the combo box back to unselected. -- Mark Miesfeld -- Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.

[Oorexx-users] Announce: An updated ooTest-4.2.0-snapshot06 on SourceForge
A quick announcement that the ooTest-4.2.0-snapshot06 package has been updated and is now available for download from SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexxunit/4.2.0.Snapshot.06/? This snapshot represents the current state of the test suite used to test ooRexx 4.2.0. Due to user interest, some changes were made to the test suite and the snapshot was redone. The name of the package was not changed, the older snapshot was replaced by the one produced today. There is no real need to replace the older snapshot on your system unless you are interested in the changes listed below. * An -l option has been added to testOOrexx.rex to write the test results to a log file. An -L option was also added that will append the results to the named log file. By default the log file is overwritten. * An -x option has been added to testOORexx.rex. This option will exclude the test group files listed after the option, from execution. For example, the following command line invocation will exclude the RexxContext.testGroup from being executed: C:\rexx\ooTest-4.2.0-snapshot06testOORexx.rex -x RexxContext * Some test case failures that were avoidable when run in an unexpected environment were fixed. * The ReadMe.first file has been slightly updated to include some information on some tests that are known to fail when the test suite is run in an unexpected environment. It has always been the hope of the ooRexx development team that users would help test ooRexx by running the test suite and participate in improving the test suite by writing test cases. Any and all questions regarding the test suite, or requests for help in writing test case, are welcome and will be addressed by one of the developers.

In both the 4.2.0.9860 and 4.2.0.9892 cases it left the 4.1.3 rxapi version installed (maybe even running, I'm not sure). Yet, I know I did see the request during the automatic uninstall to stop rxapi. Bert, For whatever reason, you had a very difficult time installing ooRexx 4.1.3. Because of that, I don't think the uninstall information for 4.1.3 was written out correctly. Because of this, the uninstall may not have worked correctly when it was run through the installer for 4.2.0. Since you now seem to have things smoothed out somewhat, what I would do is uninstall your current installation using either the uninstall item from the ooRexx menu, or by uninstalling from the Control Panel - Programs and Features. Check in services that rxapi is no longer a service. Then install ooRexx using the installer. I believe this will ensure that you have a clean installation. Although, you probably already do have a clean install. As Rick said, the errors you saw in the RexxQueue test are due to installing the test suite in a directory with spaces in the name, not due to rxapi. It never occurs to me that someone would voluntarily install any thing is a directory with spaces in the path name. I'll add a note to the test suite doc that you can't do that and expect valid results. I reran the tests. I got SEVERAL dialog boxes that popped upon the desktop and disappeared. I wasn't able to read or respond to them in the time frame provided. I mean they were there for seconds. ARE THESE POP-UP / DIALOG BOXES NORMAL? Yes they are normal.

Re: [Oorexx-users] Release candidate version number
Hi Bert, I'm going to try and answer a number of your questions here. If I miss some then just re-ask them. You can uniquely identify the version of ooRexx you are running by using: rexx -v C:\work.ooRexxrexx -v Open Object Rexx Version* 4.2.0* Build date: *Jan 30 2014* Addressing Mode: 64 Provided you stick to using the official versions, which are the versions downloadable from SourceForge, the version number, build date, and to a degree the addressing mode uniquely identify which version you are using. If you are sophisticated enough to build your own interpreter, then we figure you are sophisticated enough to keep track of what version you are running. For 4.2.0 we are in a beta phase and as we progressed through the phase, the official builds have been placed in differently named directories on SourceForge. When we placed a new version of the beta on SourceForge, we removed the obsoleted one. In addition we posted an announcement each time we did so. You many want to subscribe to ooRexx Announcements at: https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/mailman/?source=navbar Although the announcements are always posted on this User list also. We know you were not using release candidate 2, the latest, from an earlier e-mail of yours: Line from my run: Interpreter: REXX-ooRexx_4.2.0(MT)_64-bit 6.04* 19 Jan*2014 As far as ooTest, which is my name for the test suite, goes, you can get a print out by doing: C:\work.ooRexx\wc\ooTest\4.xtestOORexx.rex -n ooTest Framework - Automated Test of the ooRexx Interpreter Interpreter: REXX-ooRexx_4.2.0(MT)_64-bit 6.04 30 Jan 2014 Addressing Mode: 64 ooRexxUnit: 2.0.0_3.2.0ooTest: 1.0.0_4.0.0 Tests ran: 0 Assertions: 0 Failures:0 Errors: 0 Skipped files: 0 Total time: 00:00:00.001000 So, I don't think there is any need to change anything there. As far as your other suggestions relating to the test suite, options etc., they are appreciated. But the fact of the matter is that only Rick and I really use the test suite and its current state is sufficient for our use. If one of us sees a need for something we add it. When we first came up with the test suite we tried, hard, to get the general ooRexx user to help with it by running it and more importantly by contributing test cases. That effort was particularly useless waste of time, in my view, and I no longer spend time on it. However, the only reason there is a ooTest-4.2.0-snapshot06.zip today is that 1 user showed interest in running the test suite last weekend, so I produced a current snapshot. If more users showed interest in using the test suite, the developers would be more open to adding enhancements. If course, all ooRexx users are encouraged to implement any enhancement they would like and submit a patch for it. Or to request an enhancement at: https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/feature-requests/ Some other miscellaneous answers. The fourth number in 4.2.0.9860 is the svn revision number and can be somewhat misleading to people that do not understand Subversion. In particular, a different svn number quite often does not mean a difference in the code base used to build the software. Adding it to the name, in my opinion, is likely to only cause more confusion. I still would like to see the -x flag and a method to determine the parameters for -X in the testing program. The small -x is a valid suggestion. I believe the basic framework for it already exists in the test suite, but the implementation is not finished. Use help testTypes to get the parameters for -X: C:\work.ooRexx\wc\ooTest\4.xtestOORexx.rex help testTypes testOORexx version 1.1.0 ooTest Framework version 1.0.0_4.0.0 All test types: Doc_example_noise Unit_long Framework_example Doc_example Unit Gui Ole Sample Gui_sample Native_api Tcpip Default test type set: Doc_example Native_api Unit_long Sample Gui Gui_sample Ole Unit Default exclued test type set: Doc_example_noise Framework_example Tcpip C:\work.ooRexx\wc\ooTest\4.x Use help topic to see what topics are available for extended help: C:\work.ooRexx\wc\ooTest\4.xtestOORexx.rex help topic testOORexx version 1.1.0 ooTest Framework version 1.0.0_4.0.0 Detailed help subjects (case insignificant) are: testTypes -- Mark Miesfeld -- Android apps run on BlackBerry 10 Introducing the new BlackBerry 10.2.1 Runtime for Android apps.

Re: [Oorexx-users] Ran the ooTest-4.2.0-snapshot06 and had a problem . . .
Bertram, I can't give you a lot of help right now, I will also send a post this evening. The basic idea is to determine which test group caused the crash, and maybe which test in the test group. To do this you use the optional flags to enable more verbose output. I don't have access to a system with the test suite on it right now to give you the exact flags, you'll need to figure them out yourself. do testOORexx --help and look for the option that prints out the test group names. Rerun the test suite using that option and the last test group printed out at the crash is probably the one that caused the crash. Then run just that single test group using the -f option and see if it still crashes when run by itself. If so, run just that test group using the additional flag that prints out the test cases as they are executed. If you narrow it done to an exact test case that causes the crash, then let us know.

[Oorexx-users] Announce: ooRexx 4.2.0 Release Candidate 2 non available on SourceForge
The Open Object Rexx Project is happy to announce a release candidate for oRexx 4.2.0. The installation packages are available on SourceForge at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx/4.2.0%20%28release%20candidate%202%29/ A small number of bugs were discovered in the first release candidate. These have been fixed. All the installation packages have been rebuilt to produce a send release candidate. ooRexx 4.2.0 is an enhancement and bug fix release. The first new feature release in some time. There are a large number of new feature requests that have been implemented in this release. In addition, many reported bugs have been fixed. Please read the CHANGES document for a list of the bug tracker items fixed and the feature request tracker items that have been implemented. Testing by the users of ooRexx has definitely contributed to producing a better 4.2.0 release. Continued testing of the release candidate will help ensure that 4.2.0 is a great release. The second release candidate may be your last chance to test that your ooRexx programs work well with the new version of ooRexx. Please test the second release candidate and report any issues uncovered on the SourceForge bug tracker at: https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/bugs/ All users of ooRexx are strongly urged to, at a minimum, run the Rexx programs they use under the release candidate code. All testing done by users of ooRexx is highly appreciated and of great help. This testing is one way for ooRexx users to contribute back to the project.

Re: [Oorexx-users] RC2 Test Suite Results
Just as a note, for Windows we have 3 builds. A 32 bit, a 64 bit, and a special Win2K build (which has to be 32 bit.) I ran the test suite twice on each of the builds. The 64 bit build produced 2 failures. One for the Windows event log and one for a RegExp test. The event log failure only happened on one of the test runs and didn't happen on the second run. This test shows that the winsystm class does not have any major problems. The test fails because the OS updates the event log during the test. I don't consider this failure a problem and I like having the test there because it at least ensures that the WindowsEventLog class is working The RegExp failure is marked in the test code as being a known problem. We have a bug opened for it I think. Just noting that this is not a bug introduced in the new 4.2.0 code. The RegExp test only fails on the 64 bit build, which may not be significant because of only 4 test runs.

I think I found the problem with the failing MutableBuffer tests.
Each of the failing test has a clause at the end that is not correct.
The bad clause is ~space(2). I think what is supposed to be there
instead is ~~space(2). Note the double twiddles.
I don't think so. I think a single twiddle is correct.
.MutableBuffer~new('')~space(2)
MutableBuffer~new returns a mutable buffer object. Using a single twiddle
invokes the space method on that object. This is no different than;

Re: [Oorexx-users] MutableBuffer Failing Tests
I wonder if the problem comes from the editor used to originally create the
file and then successive updates to the file by other editors.
Do we know who first created the file?
Plus, someone must have used some creative way to enter the extended ASCII
characters to begin with. In most editors, you can not just type them.
Maybe however the characters were placed in the file screwed things up?

I just took at look at the source file in hex mode, and the problem is
definitely inherent in the source file. For the one remaining test
failure, there is a character that looks like the degree symbol in both the
expected literal string and the test data. Viewed in hex mode, the first
occurrence is encoded as 'b0'x, but in the test data, it is encoded as
'a7'x. Looking at the same file on Windows shows both occurrences as
'b0'x. Is it possible that this file is somehow getting munged as part of
the SVN checkout?
Add to the mystery is the fact the string test group uses the same data
but somehow manages to avoid getting munged. The problem character is
encoded as '0b'x in both cases.
These particular tests don't really add much to the testing, other than
the fact it uses characters. These tests should probably be done using
data specified as hex literals rather than relying on the file encodings,
which seem to have problems. I think we should just ignore these failures
for now and look at fixing the base test to avoid these problems in the
future.

The lexical parser does not parse extended strings, it treats all data as

problem is. I've been able to recreate this on my Fedora virtual machine
(sort of). However, I only got 3 errors, not the entire set you got. In
addition, I tried modifying one of the failures to this:
::method 'test0174'
data = ' §äè °üéߢ¬' '0909'x
say data
say data~length
test = .MutableBuffer~new(data)
say test
say test~length
self~assertSame('§äè+°üé+ߢ¬', test~space(1,'+'))
And the failure went away...along with one of the other failures that I
did not change, leaving me with just a single failure. All of this is
telling me that the problems are in the actual encoding of the source
files, but I have no clue as to what might be causing this to behave so
inconsistently.

When you create the string using .MutableBuffer~new('20c2a720'x)

This makes me think that there is something wrong at a lower level,
perhaps in the character string parsing (the lex part of the
interpreter). Perhaps it is not parsing extended strings correctly? That
is my only guess at the moment.

[Oorexx-users] Announce: ooDialog version 4.2.3, official release, is now available on SourceForge
Installation packages for ooDialog version 4.2.3 are now available on SourceForge at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/ooDialog/4.2.3/ This is the official release of ooDialog 4.2.3. ooDialog 4.2.3 is a routine update with bug fixes and a few enhancements. The ReadMe file that displays on the SourceForge download page contains a list of the bug fixes and enhancements in 4.2.3. In addition the ooDialog reference manual, in chapter 1, Brief Overview, section 1.5 Current Release contains a complete discussion of the changes in ooDialog 4.2.3 from ooDialog 4.2.2. 4.2.3 has a few new features. It contains the implementations of Request For Enhancements that were submitted to the project on SourceForge. Users of ooDialog are encouraged to submit requests for features or enhancements they would like to see in ooDialog using the Request for Enhancement tracker at: https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/feature-requests/?source=navbar The new features in 4.2.3 include implementations of Vista Open File and Save File dialogs, along with a stand alone ooDialog executable. The executable can be used to display information about ooDialog, to run ooDialog programs with not visible console (similar to rexxhide but with a few enhancements,) as a drag-and-drop target for ooDialog programs, and to configure file associations for ooDialog programs. There are no known bugs in ooDialog at the time of this release. Anyone suspecting they have discovered a bug or other problem in ooDialog is encourage to report this using the ooRexx SourceForge tracker for bugs: https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/bugs/?source=navbar Beginning with the release of ooDialog 4.2.0, the installation of ooDialog has been decoupled from the interpreter. ooDialog 4.2.3 installs over the top of any ooRexx installation. It replaces the version of ooDialog in the ooRexx installation with ooDialog 4.2.3. This type of ooDialog installation is called an independent ooDialog installation to indicate the ooDialog installation is independent of an ooRexx installation and, to a degree, the version of ooRexx installed. ooDialog 4.2.3 requires a minimum ooRexx version of 4.1.0 to be installed on the target computer. Installation is simple, done through a typical Windows installer. Pick the installation package that matches the bitness of the ooRexx installation. I.e., a 32-bit package for a 32-bit ooRexx and a 64-bit package for a 64-bit ooRexx. Note that the bitness of the operating system is not relevant here. If you have installed a 32-bit ooRexx on a Windows 64-bit system, you must install a 32-bit ooDialog. The installer will detect the installed ooRexx, location, and version. If the ooRexx version is less than 4.1.0, or if there is no installed ooRexx, the installer will abort with a message explaining the problem. Otherwise the installer will replace the current ooDialog with ooDialog 4.2.3. -- Mark Miesfeld for the ooRexx Development Team -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

Re: [Oorexx-users] Announce: ooDialog 4.2.4 preview is available on SourceForge
event handling method must return true or false. .false - The ooDialog framework immediately returns 0 to the operating system and then invokes the Rexx event handling method to run concurrently as a separate activity. There are no requirements for the event handler to return a value and any value returned has no effect. SYNC - The ooDialog framework directly invokes the Rexx event handler, and waits for the Rexx method to return. The event handler does not need to return a value and if it does, its value is ignored. This in effect keeps the operating system and the dialog in sync. The documentation for this is complete. In fact the entire EventNotification class documentation has been reviewed and checked for accuracy and completeness. Please open bugs at: https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/bugs/?source=navbar for any that you find. Or at the very least post on this list to bring them to my attention. One of the main reasons that I go to the trouble of building and uploading preview versions is the hope that users of ooDialog will help test and shake out any kinks in the newer stuff.

Re: [Oorexx-users] RadioButtonGroup with Multiple selection
On Sun, Dec 29, 2013 at 2:55 PM, Art Heimsoth artst...@artheimsoth.comwrote: How would I go about creating a Radio Button Group that has multiple selection capability? The CreateRadioButtonGroup only allows one button to be selected, when another button is selected, the prior button is deselected. Is a CheckBox control the way to do this? Yes, check boxes are the way to handle this. By definition, only 1 radio button at a time can be enabled. Theoretically, you can create the radio buttons individually, without the auto select style. You are then responsible for setting the checked state yourself and you can set more than one as checked. This is more work than auto select and is not what users will expect. So, I'd advise against it. -- Mark Miesfeld -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

It appears there is something being tested before that Nsi section that is failing. Yes, the installer reads the the uninstall information from the registry key. If it exists, it assumes ooSQLite is installed. Then, if ooSQLite is installed, it tries to test that there is no ooSQLite program running and that the PDF doc is not open. It does that by copying the two files and then trying to delete the originals.

I don't know why these packages don't create desktop icons so you know what to create a short cut pointing to ??? No one has every requested that. Rexx is essentially a command line program.

I already had ObjREXX Workbench on my win 7 machine, but it did work perfect when I did excel demos at Well Fargo in 2010. After installing OORexx, ObjRexx started getting upset about conflicts with rxapi.exe. ooRexx and IBM's Object Rexx can not be installed on the same system. We state this explicitly in several of the read me files. It is not supported. I scoured the internet looking for fixes, but they give you a simple work around by running regedit and possibly corrupting you entire system. Or there is this simple download from someone you never heard of. There is no fix, there is no work around. You need to either remove IBM's Object Rexx or remove ooRexx. When I open up ooRexx it brings up a crude version of what appears to be a very weak version of Workbench. I had it such that it would bring up a DOS (?) window and I could type in rexx code separate by ; .. and it worked well. The crude IDE is better though. When IBM donated the source code for Object Rexx to RexxLA, they did not donate the source code for the WorkBench. So, there currently is no IDE for ooRexx. I have no idea how I got this working, but the icon properties are C:\Program Files\ooRexx\ooRexxTry.rex. ooRexxTry.rex is a GUI version of the rexxtry.rex program. It is not an IDE.

I think that the installer wasn't able to kill/start rxapi when switching from one mode to the other. Thanks Ruurd. That's interesting. If you had the 32-bit version installed and then started the 64-bit installer, the installer would detect the installed ooRexx. It would then attempt to execute the the 32-bit uninstaller from the 64-bit process space. This wouldn't work. I guess it would be the same going the other way. In this case, you would need to run the current uninstaller first, before starting the installer. The uninstaller program would be the same bitness as the running rxapi and should have no problem stopping it. Actually, it first tries to stop the service using the service manager calls. I think those calls should work even if rxapi was 32-bit and the process was 64 bit. The installer used to have some loop holes where if rxapi was not stopped, the installer just continued on. I think I have those fixed so that if rxapi is not stopped, the installer will not continue. We need to point out in the installation notes or read me files that on Windows if you have ooRexx installed and are going to install a new version that is not the same bitness as the installed version, you need to do it in two steps. You need to first run the stand alone uninstaller and then run the installer. -- Mark Miesfeld I could always recover by doing what Mark wrote down, making sure no rxapi was running (either as a service or in it's process). -- Ruurd Idenburg -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

Re: [Oorexx-users] Testing ooRexx on Windows 8 or 8.1
Thanks a lot hex. There are 2 datatype tests in there that were actually bugs. Rick fixed them this morning. The event log tests are probably no longer valid unless you are elevated to Administrator when you run them. The special folders tests use the old XP way of identifing the special folders. In Windows 7, MSDN said this old method would work, but hinted that it should not be used anymore. I'll take a look and see about that. That would be most of the failures, I'll sort through the list and see what the others are.

Re: [Oorexx-users] [Oorexx-devel] Testing ooRexx on Windows 8 or 8.1
Hi hex, Yes, I think you understood the message correctly. I run the test suite as administrator and don't see any event log tests fail. I would think that would be the same under Windows 8 I also don't see any special folder test cases fail. It would be interesting to see if they fail if you run the test suit as administrator. Some of the special folders may not be accessible to a normal user under Windows 8. Or it may be that they are not accessible in the same way as they were in XP. In either of those cases, it is a problem with the test case, not with ooRexx. And, with the time test case, you also understand correctly. Rick and I are thinking it is not a good test case because its results are not consistent. -- Mark Miesfeld -- Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.

Re: [Oorexx-users] Testing ooRexx on Windows 8 or 8.1
. It is designed for
anyone to use to automate testing of their own Rexx programs. After you
check out the code you can explore the files in the directory tree. There
is some documentation and examples on how to write automated tests.
We would just love for ooRexx users to write more automated tests for
ooRexx. Anyone that can write a simple ooRexx program could write tests
for our test suite. To get a test started only takes filling out a little
boiler plate code. If you are at all interested in doing that, just open
up a discussion on this list, I'll gladly give you all the help you need.
However, just running the test suite on Windows 8 is a big help for me.
Take it a step at a time and as you get familiar with the test suite you
can move on to more advanced use through a series of Q and A on the list
here.
Now, as I was writing the test suite was running and finished. The end of
the output looks like this:
...

The stats at the bottom are what I'm interested in seeing for Windows 8.
You can see above about 20 thousand tests were run with about a half a
million assertions. 3 test failures and 8 errors. Errors are not problems
found in the interpreter, they mean something in the test framework did not
work as expected.
Above the stats is a bunch of goobly-gook about each error or failure. In
our example this:
[Framework exception] [20131207 20:15:06.289000]
Type: Trap Severity: Fatal

2024 *-* container = self~getContainer(fileName)
85 *-* containers = finder~seek(testResult)
79 *-* retCode = 'worker.rex'(arguments)
comes because I didn't tell the test suite to skip the native API, and I
also didn't compile the native API tests.
For yourself to first get started, skip the native API tests by using the
-X exclude flag:
C:\work\ooTesttestOORexx.rex* -X native_api*
Searching for test containers
Just getting to where you can execute the whole test suite is a great first
step. If the test suite itself seems interesting to you, there is a lot to
explore, as I said, I'll gladly give advice on the list here.

On my Vista system, this is: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe One of the simpler ways to create a short cut is to go to that folder in Windows Explorer, right click on powershell.exe and choose Send To Desktop. That puts the short cut on the desktop, where you can edit it to your preferences. For instance, as is, it will open the PowerShell window with the current directory C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0. I'd change that to C:\work.ooRexx of course. You could pin the short cut to the Start Menu, etc.. I see one thing that doesn't work as I expected. Take this quick test: say Hello World!

I'm not sure if this will work, but the default command handler uses the COMSPEC environment variable to obtain the command shell target. Whether this works with the powershell depends on whether it supports the same option switches that cmd.exe uses (/c is the critical one). Rick, I never looked at the PowerShell before, so I'll need to research it a bit more. Otherwise, a new handler would need to be implemented. I'm thinking that is likely. Is powershell a standard feature of Windows now? I think it is standard now in that it gets installed automatically in Windows 7, maybe Vista. When it first appeared, you actually had to install it if you wanted it. We might want to consider adding a powershell address environment for a future release.

[Oorexx-users] Announce: ooDialog 4.2.3 beta now available
Installation packages for ooDialog 4.2.3 beta are now available on SourceForge at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/ooDialog/4.2.3%20%28beta%29/ ooDialog 4.2.3 is an enhancement release, with a large number of new features. The Release Notes and the ReadMe file that displays on the SourceForge download page contain a list of the bug fixes, enhancements, and other changes in 4.2.3. Users of ooDialog should test the beta and report bugs or other problems through the ooRexx SourceForge tracker for bugs: https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/bugs/ Beginning with the release of ooDialog 4.2.0, the installation of ooDialog has been decoupled from the interpreter. ooDialog 4.2.3 installs over the top of any ooRexx installation. It replaces the version of ooDialog in the ooRexx installation with ooDialog 4.2.3. This type of ooDialog installation is called an independent ooDialog installation to indicate the ooDialog installation is independent of an ooRexx installation and, to a degree, the version of ooRexx installed. ooDialog 4.2.3 requires a minimum ooRexx version of 4.1.0 to be installed on the target computer. Installation is simple, done through a typical Windows installer. Pick the installation package that matches the bitness of the ooRexx installation. I.e., a 32-bit package for a 32-bit ooRexx and a 64-bit package for a 64-bit ooRexx. Note that the bitness of the operating system is not relevant here. If you have installed a 32-bit ooRexx on a Windows 64-bit system, you must install a 32-bit ooDialog. The installer will detect the installed ooRexx, location, and version. If the ooRexx version is less than 4.1.0, or if there is no installed ooRexx, the installer will abort with a message explaining the problem. Otherwise the installer will replace the current ooDialog with ooDialog 4.2.3. -- Mark Miesfeld for the ooRexx Development Team -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

Re: [Oorexx-users] ListBox Question
I have one other comment on this subject. Why not just use a list view? Even if ooDialog did have support for the Header control, there is really a lot of work to manage the Header. The list view does all that work for you. Another drawback is that if you did use a Header control with a list box, the list box doesn't know about the header so the header would obscure some rows in the list box. The solution to that is to make the list box owner drawn. Owner draw is something you can do in C / C++ code, but it is also a lot of work. Being able to do it from ooDialog is problematic in my mind. And, again, all the work is done for you in a list view. -- Mark Miesfeld On Thu, Oct 31, 2013 at 2:45 AM, Staffan Tylen staffan.ty...@gmail.comwrote: Art, I had a similar wish but only to find out (via Mark's usual help) that it is not possible (at least not for the moment). So what I did was to defined a frame, where I used the upper part of the frame as header area and the lower part for the list view. The result looks similar to a list view with headers but the limitation is that you can't scroll sideways, change the column order, or resize the columns. But with some fiddling I managed to get the header area to resize correctly in a resizeable window, and this fulfilled my requirement.

Art, I don't really think this is possible with a list box, in ooDialog. There is a Header control that ooDialog doesn't support yet. (I plan to in the future.) The Header control is what a list view uses for the header. It creates the control with itself as the owner, which is what keeps the header within the client area of the list view. The header control then sends its notification messages to the list view and the list view handles them. When the Header control is added, I still think this would be difficult.

Re: [Oorexx-users] Question on ooSQLite
Hi Art, Staffan knows ooSQLite better than I do, at least as far as what SQLite can and can not do. There is no way to know how many rows will be returned from a SELECT statement without 'stepping' through all the rows and counting them. In case Staffan's solution was a little obscure to you, when he says: you can do a SELECT COUNT(*) ... I think what he means, and he can correct me if I'm wrong, is to add the count to your SELECT statement. Not use 'SELECT COUNT(*);' exactly. So if you were going to do for instance: SELECT * FROM foods where name like 'J%' ORDER BY name COLLATE REVERSE; Then you would add the COUNT(*) to the select and execute that SQL. This would give you the count of rows that would be returned. Then you would turn around and execute the SELECT statement without the count to get your rows. You just need to realize that you will be executing the SELECT statement twice. In my mind this doesn't give you much. Why not just execute the SELECT once and see how many items you end up with. But, it may be a good solution for what you want. -- Mark Miesfeld On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 6:11 AM, Art Heimsoth artst...@artheimsoth.comwrote: Is there a way to find out the number of rows returned from a select statement before checking the stmt~STEP value?

Re: [Oorexx-users] Problem with ListView and ComboBox
On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 6:45 PM, Art Heimsoth artst...@artheimsoth.comwrote: Sorry to be such a bother here, but I just found another problem for me. The selected values from the ComboBox are not returned to the ListView. If I select an entry, and then mouse click another column or click Ok, the value in the ListView still has the original value that was initially loaded. I don't see that at all. The value I select in the combo box is always put into the list vies. If I escape out of the ComboBox, it appears the Cancel button is activated as the program ends. Not for me. I select Replace in the combo box, hit escape, the combo box disappears, Import appears as the item label, and I'm still in the dialog. If I hit escape again, the dialog closes as expected. Maybe I need to think of another approach to what I was trying to do here and not use the ComboBox ? I hate to have you give up. It is a pretty good user interface I think. In fact, I was thinking of updating the example program to use your interface. It definitely does work correctly. Did you change your .rc file? The other thing I just realized is I am using ooDialog. 4.2.4. I did a lot of code refactoring in the event subsystem. I'll have to test with 4.2.3 tomorrow. -- Mark Miesfeld -- October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.

Once you get to the MSDN library, there is sort of like a table of contents on the left and you can use that to navigate to other parts of the library. After you use the library for a while, you learn that every dialog control has its own section. Each section has an over-view and a reference. The reference section always lists the controls styles under 'constants'.

Re: [Oorexx-users] ooSQLite level detection
On Tue, Sep 10, 2013 at 9:32 AM, Art Heimsoth artst...@artheimsoth.comwrote:
I use the nsis installer to build and support my package. I also
use ooSQLite in the package and prior to the last release of ooSQLite,
I simply copied the needed files to the appropriate folder. That will
still work, but I would like to add detection to my installer such
that I would only install the ooSQLite modules if there is a later
version or if it was not originally installed on the target system.
For ooRexx and ooDialog, I use the system environment area in
combination with a simple rexx command to collect the level of
each component and then only install them if the ones in the release
are a later level. Is this, or a similar method available with the
ooSQLite release? All I would need would be a capability to
detect if it is installed via Rexx and if so, return the level of
the installed package. Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi Art,
I'm not sure if I completely understand your requirements for ooSQLite or
not, but it is similar to ooDialog in that it has a version command that
will tell you the level of the installed ooSQLite. In the examples under
examples\version there is version.rex that shows the different version
formats.
Here is one line from that file:
say 'ooSQLite version (compact):' .ooSQLite~version('C')
The output is:
ooSQLite version (compact): 1.0.0.9416
on my system today. The compact version is always going to be
incrementally bigger for each build.
The one difference between ooSQLite and ooDialog, currently, is that if
ooRexx is installed, there is always some version of ooDialog installed.
That's not true for ooSQLite
The latest version of ooSQLite, on Windows, has a Windows installer that
installs ooSQLite to the ooRexx installation directory.
I'm not sure how you detect that ooRexx is installed. But, if ooSQlite is
installed using the Windows installer, you could detect it this way in
pseudo code:
if ooRexx installed then do
if file ooSQLite.dll exists in ooRexx installation directory then do
run ooSQLite version command
parse output for version
end
end
If ooSQlite is installed using the .zip file then the user could have
installed it anywhere. You could use a similar process as above. NSIS
might have a way to see if a file exists in the path. If so you could see
if ooSQLite.dll exists. If not you could do something like:
if ooRexx installed then do
run Rexx command to test for ooSQLite
parse output for version
end
In this last case you need a Rexx program that uses loadPackage() to load
ooSQLite.cls and traps an error. If you do get an error, then ooSQLite is
not installed. If you don't get any error, it is installed and then you
can go ahead and run you ooSQLite version command to get the installed
version.
Here is some code from the test suite (ooTest) that should give you an idea
on how to do that
signal on any name loadErr
.context~package~loadPackage('WinUtils.cls')
return
loadErr:
err = .ExceptionData~new(timeStamp(), s, .ExceptionData~TRAP)
err~setLine(sigl)
err~conditionObject = condition('O')
err~msg = Could not load 'WinUtils.cls' the package needed for this test
group.
err~severity = Unrecoverable
testResult~addException(err)
testResult~stop
return
So, for ooSQLite, in pseudo code again, you would do something
signal on any name loadErr
.context~package~loadPackage('ooSQLite.cls')
-- Okay we have ooSQLite
ver = .ooSQLite~version('C')
compare ver to what you need
-- do whatever
return
loadErr:
-- Okay no ooSQLite on this machine,
-- or it is not installed correctly
do whatever
return
In this scenario, you could not be sure that ooSQLite is not installed, you
could just know that ooSQLite.cls is not in the default path. A user
could, for instance, have it installed somewhere and use a batch file to
add it to the path when they go to work with it. Not likely for a typical
user, but I often do that.
Let me know if you need more help on this topic.
By the way, the ooSQLite Windows installer writes some stuff to the
registry. In your NSIS installer, you could read those registry values to
see if they exist to test if ooSQLite is installed. This would only work
if it is a recent install of ooSQLite though.

[Oorexx-users] ooDialog 4.2.3 (preview) now on SourceForge
Hi All, I've created installation packages for the current state of ooDialog 4.2.3 and put them on SourceForge. The 4.2.3 code is essentially feature complete, making the packages on SourceForge essentially what will be the beta for 4.2.3. All that is missing is the complete documentation for the new features. Please go ahead and open up bug reports for any problems you find as though it were a beta. The official beta period will probably start at the end of September. -- Mark Miesfeld -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!

[Oorexx-users] ooSQLite updated to use the SQLite 3.8.0 engine
Hi All, Those of you interested in ooSQLite may know that SQLite 3.8.0 was released several days ago. ooSQLite has been updated to use SQLite 3.8.0 and access to any new features in 3.8.0 has been completed. Installation packages for the current code base of ooSQLite have been uploaded to SourceForge. For Windows, I have created a standard Windows installer program. The installer will integrate ooSQLite with your ooRexx installation. It also provides an un-installer for ooSQLite. Bug reports are welcome. -- Mark Miesfeld -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!

Re: [Oorexx-users] How to read/write variables in the ooRexx variable pool from a Python program?

How do I do that? Keep in mind that Python is interpreted rather than compiled. I can't think of any easy way to do that. Maybe Rick knows of something clever. It seems to me it is basically an inter-process communication (IPC) problem. You have the ooRexx interpreter running in one process and the Python interpreter running in a second process. You could use sockets to communicate between the two process. Devise your own protocol to pass the name - value pairs for variables back and forth. You should be able to use the socket support in both ooRexx and Python to do that. You could also use shared memory. I think you would need to write a native extension in ooRexx and maybe in Python to set up and use the shared memory. I know the native extension in ooRexx is doable and I'm sure it is doable in Python. Or use any other means of IPC available on the OS you ae running under. Typically, when you start another executable in ooRexx the interpreter will be waiting for that executable to end. You would need to have a second thread in ooRexx to service the IPC. -- Mark Miesfeld -- Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.

Re: [Oorexx-users] unGuarded vs Guarded
. Try to close the dialog by pushing ok or cancel,
you won't be able to. The more times you push the buttons or try to close
the dialog, the longer it will be before the program finally ends.
What happens is: you push the 'Push Me Now' button, the guarded
buttonClick1() method starts executing. You push the 'Push Me Now Also'
button, the guarded buttonClick2() is invoked, but can not run until all
other guarded methods are not running.
You, the user, get exasperated and push the cancel button. The guarded
cancel() method is invoked by the framework - but it can not run until all
other guarded methods are not running.
At this point, the dialog is not going to end for 120 seconds. The ooRexx
interpreter is not going to end until all invoked methods have completed.
The more you try to close the dialog, the worse your situation gets.
Now make all the event handling methods unguarded. Each time you click a
button, you will immediately see the 'in methodName()' message. This shows
that all the event handlers are now running concurrently.
You still won't see the program end immediately when you push the ok or
cancel program because you have started all these 40 second threads. But,
if you push 5 buttons pretty quickly you will see the program end in about
40 seconds rather than 200 seconds.
Now, in the guarded version, after you push the first button, you will
still be able to move the dialog around with the mouse. This seems to
contradict what I originally said. The reason for this is that, for button
clicks, the ooDialog framework actually invokes the event handler using
start() and so the message processing loop immediately returns a value to
the OS and continues processing messages.
But try this program:
/* Simple User Dialog to produce a dialog that will appear hung */
.application~useGlobalConstDir('O')
.constDir[IDC_PB_ONE] = 100
.constDir[IDC_PB_TWO] = 110
.constDir[IDC_EDIT] = 120
.constDir[IDC_UPD] = 130
dlg = .SimpleDialog~new
dlg~execute(SHOWTOP, IDI_DLG_OOREXX)
::requires ooDialog.cls
::class 'SimpleDialog' subclass UserDialog
::method init
forward class (super) continue
self~create(30, 30, 257, 123, Simple Dialog, CENTER)
::method defineDialog
self~createPushButton(IDC_PB_ONE, 10, 10, 50, 14, , Push Me Now,
'buttonClick1')
self~createPushButton(IDC_PB_TWO, 10, 30, 75, 14, , Push Me Now Also,
'buttonClick2')
self~createEdit(IDC_EDIT, 10, 60, 50, 14)
self~createUpDown(IDC_UPD, 60, 60, 15, 15, 'WRAP ARROWKEYS AUTOBUDDY
SETBUDDYINT')
self~createPushButton(IDOK, 142, 99, 50, 14, DEFAULT, Ok)
self~createPushButton(IDCANCEL, 197, 99, 50, 14, , Cancel)
self~connectUpDownEvent(IDC_UPD, DELTAPOS, onUPD)
::method onUPD
say 'in onUPD()'
j = SysSleep(40)
say 'leaving onUPD()'
return .UpDown~deltaPosReply
::method buttonClick1
say 'in buttonClick1()'
j = SysSleep(40)
say 'leaving buttonClick1()'
::method buttonClick2
say 'in buttonClick2()'
j = SysSleep(40)
say 'leaving buttonClick2()'
::method ok
say 'in ok()'
j = SysSleep(40)
say 'leaving ok()'
self~ok:super
::method cancel
say 'in cancel()'
j = SysSleep(40)
say 'leaving cancel()'
self~cancel:super
For the UpDown DELTAPOS envent, the ooDialog framework waits for the reply
from the event handler.
Run this program - click the 'Push Me Now' button, immediately click an
arrow in the UpdDown control, and immediately use the mouse to try and move
the window. You won't be able to.
In Windows 7, the OS will detect that your dialog is not processing
messages and start the special Window is not responding behavior after
about 5 seconds. This allows the user to move the window and close it.
Without that special behavior things would be truly hung. But, the way
the user can close the dialog is through the Window is not responding
dialog that the OS puts up. Not real user friendly.
Not sure how much help this has been. But, at least you should be able to
see why you usually need make your event handlers unguarded.

Here is a second example using a ProgressDialog. It is exactly like the

Typically you use marquee mode when you want to show that your application

In my example, we are using a set number of loops, so it is easy to break

Re: [Oorexx-users] Error handling suggestions
Hi Art, Hmm, I wrote this some time ago and never pressed Send. ;-( Have you taken a look at the ProgressDialog class? It should be usable for your scenario, I think. In the example programs, there is examples\addManyRows.rex that shows some usage of the ProgressDialog. Look at the createRows() method in the example. I'll try to put together a short example of using the ProgressDialog in the scenario you explained. -- Mark Miesfeld On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 2:52 PM, Art Heimsoth artst...@artheimsoth.comwrote: On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 2:08 PM, Art Heimsoth artst...@artheimsoth.com wrote: For your specific problem here, I would write my own timed message dialog. When using it, send a reference to the executing dialog to your timed message dialog. In your timed message, periodically check back to see if the other dialog is still alive. Quit the timed message if you discover the other dialog is ended. I tried to start a second dialog and then use WinTimer in that dialog, with the intention of setting a shared variable from the main dialog when I wanted the second dialog to end. The second dialog would put up a panel that includes a Cancel button to allow manual cancellation if necessary. You need to use popup() to start the second dialog. The popup() method returns immediately and your first dialog can continue working. I'm still having trouble with this, but I am not sure my approach will work anyway. I am trying to get an operation like .timedmessage but where I can cancel it from the popup panel; ie, add a cancel button to that dialog that would do the same thing as sending ok to the .timedmessage dialog. In using a dialog that I build and kick off with popupAsChild() or with popup() the child panel is not displayed until after the child InitDialog returns. I was intending to put the timed logic in the InitDialog, but seems like I need some other method for it - how do I kick that off? To test this, I put a do loop with say statements in the child and parent dialogs, and found that if I canceled the parent dialog, the do loops continued until they timed out - they were not canceled. I assume that in normal for dialogs? Another problem with this approach, is the underlying dialog is allowed to run, but the user dialog buttons, menu, etc are also active allowing user input which is what I need to block; ie, a modal setup. I am looking for something that will notify the user the application is busy, but allow them to cancel it manually if necessary without using task manager. While this notification is showing, all interfacing controls should be disabled, but the underlying dialog logic; ie, SQL lookups should be allowed to continue. If I could figure out how to get the timed message to run in the child dialog, I could disable all the buttons and menu items while the child dialog is active and then enable them again when the lookup operation is complete and the child is ended.

Re: [Oorexx-users] Dialog sizes are different
Hi Art, I got your program and ran it on both my Windows 7 system and on a XP system. These are 2 different physical machines. On both systems the dialog looks good, nothing is over-flowed. To the eye they look the same size. For the text size print out I get on Windows 7: *Static Text Width, height: 64 16* On my Win7 it was 80:20 On my XP it was 64:16 *ListBox Width, height: 496 16* On my Win7 it was 620:20 On my XP is was 496:20 and on XP: *Static Text Width, height: 64 16* On my Win7 it was 80:20 On my XP it was 64:16 *ListBox Width, height: 496 16* On my Win7 it was 620:20 On my XP is was 496:20 So on my systems everything is good. The whole dialog size / font / font size thing is rather complex under the covers. It is intended to ensure that the same dialog looks okay no matter what physical system it is running on. It is not intended to make the dialog the exact same pixel size on two different systems. So, what I would expect, is what I see on my system, the dialog looks okay and everything fits. What you described, that the text is too wide to fit on your Windows 7 system, is something I wouldn't expect. What can you do about it? I'm not sure. It is not something that ooDialog is doing, all ooDialog does is pass the numbers on to the operating system. About fonts, fonts are requested from the font mapper. The font mapper returns a logical font that is the best it can do to match the requested font. What this means is that you don't necessarily get the exact font you asked for, you get the best the font mapper can come up with. This allows, for instance, an application to use a font that doesn't actually exist on the current system. The OS calculates the size and position of all the dialog controls based on the actual font used in dialog. When you assign a different font to a dialog control than the actual font used by the dialog, this invalidates the OS's calculation for the size and position of the control. What I suspect is happening is that on your XP system, the font mapper is returning a Courier New font that is very close in size to the System font used by the dialog. Everything looks the same as you see when you lay out the dialog. On my Windows 7 and XP systems the font mapper is returning a Courier New font that is the same size as the System font used by the dialog. On your Windows 7 the font mapper is returning the best it can, but the Courier New font returned is not a good match in size for the System font actually used by the dialog. And, it could actually be the returned System font that is different on your Windows 7 and XP systems. You might try naming Courier New in the .rc file instead of System. For your simple test example, this would be okay. But, it means every control in the dialog will use the Courier New font and if you have a lot of controls that might not look good. There are 2 scenarios here, and I'm not sure which applies. 1.) You just want to fix this on your own XP system, your program is for your use only. You are distributing your program to a group of end users. Scenario 1.) Ensure that the display settings are the same on the two systems. In particular, check the DPI settings. I just saw that on my Windows 7 system under custom DPI settings, there is a check box that says Use XP style DPI scaling. Hmm ... Ensure that both systems have the same Courier New font installed. With some extra work, you could resize the controls to fit in initDialog() using the getTextSizePx method. Scenario 2.) Test on some of your users systems, maybe there is no problem, their systems behave just like mine. Same as the last resort for scenario 1. Calculate the size needed and resize the controls in initDialog(). This could be a lot of work depending on how finicky you are. To get this right, you might have to resize and move everything. But, it is doable. I know one ooDialog user who calculates the size and position of every control and resizes / repositions them all in initDialog(). With dialogs that contain hundreds of controls. -- Mark Miesfeld On Sat, Aug 10, 2013 at 5:53 AM, Art Heimsoth artst...@artheimsoth.comwrote: On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 5:54 PM, Art Heimsoth artst...@artheimsoth.com wrote: I have an ooDialog application that I have tested on different systems and have found an operational difference that I don't understand.

Re: [Oorexx-users] Fun with HostEnv and rxUnixSys
Hi Leslie,
I never worked with Rexx on a main frame, so hostemu is completely foreign
to me. So, I can't help much there.
I vaguely remember that there are some special rules about quoting.
Combing the error code 20, Symbol Expected, and this:
'diskw /home/leslie/html/private/'directory.d'/index.html (finis stem
html.'
I would guess the quoting is not correct. Error code 20 has this subcode:
906
Symbol expected after ( of a variable reference. Or maybe it has to do
with directory.d.
I notice that no matter what the error# is, sysGetErrNoMsg() seems to
return Unknown.
Seems like a bug to me. I haven't looked at the Unix Extensions package at
all, so again I can't be help much there.
David Ashley did both of those extensions and would be the best person to
explain what is going wrong for you. He is out of touch right now, so he
won't respond immediately. He'll be back in touch in August.
If I were you, I'd investigate the quoting in your use of hostemu. I'll
try to take a look at the Unix Extensions package if I have some time. You
should bring this up again on the list in August to try and get David's
attention.
Personally, I'd open bugs about things that don't seem to work. And open
up documentation bugs where there seems to be lack of information to use
these packages.

Re: [Oorexx-users] Multiple character find on listbox
Hi Art, I've never tried something like that, but this is how I would start. Set an exposed variable to the empty string. Connect the onChar event to the listbox. When the event handler is invoked, append the character to the exposed variable. Then use the find() method using the exposed variable string as the textOrPrefix, probably the current index as the startIndex, and exact as false. If you get a hit, move the selection to the returned index. Each time a new character comes in, it is appended to the current search string and find() is invoked again. I think that should get you close, then you run it and see what doesn't work. You want to set up your onChar handler so that the character is not passed on to the listbox. I'm hoping the docs are sufficient for you to determine how to do that. I'm not being secretive, if I remembered off of the top of my head I'd just tell you. One thing that thing I can think of that might take a little thought is what to do if the find() does not produce a hit. Also, you'll need to figure out when to set the search string back to the empty string. Let me know if you are having problems. If I have a little time, I'll probably play with it a bit. The other thing is, the listbox seems to already have a search function built in. You do realize that don't you?

Re: [Oorexx-users] Multiple character find on listbox
Art,
This is what the MSDN docs say about the default processing by the listbox
of the WM_CHAR message:
Moves the selection to the first item that begins with the character the
user typed. If the list box has the LBS_OWNERDRAW style, no action occurs.
Multiple characters typed within a short interval are treated as a group,
and the first item that begins with that series of characters is selected.
Below is a very simple listbox that demonstrates the default incremental
search. If I run it and type in A C T and hit enter, I get this back:
User searched for and found: ActionCenter.dll
So, it seems to work pretty good. The only thing I don't like is the delay
time before it stops treating the letters as a group. If you type A C and
delay a bit, when you type T it takes you to: t2embed.dll
This would be a dialog to start with and use to implement your own
incremental search:
/* Simple Dialog listBoxSearch.rex */
symbolMap = .table~new
symbolMap[IDC_LB_FILEs] = 200
--symbolMap[] =
--symbolMap[] =
.application~setDefaults('O', symbolMap, .false, 'Courier New', 10)
dlg = .SimpleDialog~new
if dlg~initCode = 0 then do
if dlg~execute(SHOWTOP) == dlg~IDOK then do
say 'User searched for and found:' dlg~searchAndFound
end
else do
say 'User canceled'
end
end
return 0
-- End of entry point.

I was wanting to get around the delay time by using an Ok button to signal when the selection was what I wanted. I have built a small test case that seems to want to work, but on the second character input I get a 0x0005 (op code?) violation -not sure where as I am not familiar with how to peruse that type of error. Yikes that's a crash. I don't get a crash, rather everything hangs. The reason is this: ::method OK expose Fescue. Fescue.Seller = 'A' dlg = .SelectDialog~new(Test.rc, SELLER_DIALOG, , Test.h) dlg~parent = self dlg~Fescue = Fescue. dlg~sendMyData dlg~Execute(SHOWTOP, IDI_DLG_OOREXX) return 0 In OK() you start your second dialog. Then in your second dialog you have this: ::method onChar unguarded expose Fescue. lb findchar use arg char ... self~parent~logError(0,Searching for findchar) return .false In your first dialog you have for logError() ::method logError expose Fescue. use strict arg retrn, msg ... What happens is, in your second dialog you type the first character. onChar() starts executing and runs until it hits self~parent~logError() logError() is unguarded. At this instant ok(), also unguarded, is executing waiting for your second dialog to finish. logError() can not run, so your onChar() method is blocked at that line. The ok() method is waiting for your second dialog to end. So you have a classic deadlock. Nothing can proceed. In addition, in the window processing loop, the interpreter is waiting for the reply from onChar(). So no more messages can be processed. As soon as you type a second character or click on a button that message is sent to the window by the operating system. At this point you are really hosed. Your second dialog can not process any message, so it can not be closed. The first dialog can not end until the second dialog is closed, and the second dialog can not be closed. ;-) The OS has a timer and sees that the application is not processing its window messages. So, in Windows 7 at least, you get the 'Application is not responding dialog and you have to have the OS forcibly close the application. To fix that, you need to make either ok() or logError() unguarded. Things shouldn't crash though. Is it on XP you see the crash? -- Mark Miesfeld -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev___ Oorexx-users mailing list Oorexx-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-users
Re: [Oorexx-users] Multiple character find on listbox
On Sun, Jun 30, 2013 at 4:02 PM, Art Heimsoth artst...@artheimsoth.comwrote: Thanks Mark, yes this is on XP. Am I creating another problem if I always use unguarded on my methods, whether they are events or others? Art, In general I advise to make all event handlers unguarded. If you make all methods unguarded, you could create another problem, sometimes. Really, the best thing to do is to analyze everything and only make a method unguarded if needed. But, hey, I rarely do that. So the blanket statement make all event handlers unguarded is not the best advice. It is good enough advice for the general use of ooDialog though. If you had a mission critical application, you might want to make sure that having all event handlers unguarded is the right thing to do. If you have variables, especially exposed variables, that need to be accessed sequentially. Or in a strictly deterministic order, then a guarded method is usually the best way to do it. What I do is make all my event handlers unguarded and all other methods I leave guarded. Except convenience methods that are called from event handlers. Those I make unguarded. Then if something hangs, I try to figure out why. ;-) I am having other problems in my main program that I suspect are due to the usage of unguarded or lack of. I have an input panel with several edit input fields where I am using LOSTFOCUS and also GOTFOCUS on some of them. I have unguarded on all of those event handlers, but if I cancel out of that input panel, I sometimes get entries into one or more of those event handlers - like the event is pending Well, when you move to a new input panel, which I assume is a dialog, you will get a lost focus in the old one, in an edit control if that control had the focus. somewhere when I do the cancel and start a different menu process. I don't know how to cancel the events when the original input menu is cancelled, and some of them will put up more info on the screen when they fire. One thing you could try is adding a flag. Set it to .true when you start with the first input panel and set it to .false right before you cancel out of it. In the event handler, if the flag is .false return immediately without doing any thing. -- Mark Miesfeld -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev___ Oorexx-users mailing list Oorexx-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-users
