Re: Printer issue in Windows

As a note, they are still on 1.6, not 2.0, if that matters
I would think that it just might matter.
Can you give them the latest runtime version to find out?

Re: Printer issue in Windows

when this particular user selects to use another printer, it just closes everything.
What does that mean? The printer choice dialog closes? The application quits?

Re: Tickets

Years ago, I modified an Xbase++ program that needed to open the cash drawer, but I don't remember what I did to make that happen.

I cannot even find the customer's code, but I may have it on an old drive.
I'll see what I can do.
The fact that you are running on a terminal server complicates things.

Re: Tickets

DCPRINT uses the Xbase++ XbpPrinter class which is bound to the Windows print engine. Unfortunately, I am not aware of anything that allows embedding escape sequence inside the print job, You should still be able to send the escape sequence after the print job is completed by writing a file to the L...

Re: DC_IsAppRunning() and CRT window

Here is another way to do this: RunShell('/C TaskList.Exe /V /FO CSV > tasklist.csv' ) aTasks := DC_Csv2Array('tasklist.csv') nFound := AScan(aTasks,{|a|a[1]=='RUNAPP.EXE'}) nFound := AScan(aTasks,{|a|a[1]=='RUNAPP.EXE'},nFound+1) IF nFound > 0 Confirmbox(,"PROGRAM HAS ALREADY STARTED" + chr(13)+; "...

Re: VisualdBSee

n this case, there's only one solution.
Develop a new application in PGDBE and convert the DBF/NTX files.
That would be actually very simple, technically, but only if I am working with a programmer.

Re: VisualdBSee

They sent me their source code today. It's obvious that they don't have a programmer. The app doesn't use ADS, just DBFNTX and they failed to give me any .LIBs that are referenced in the .XPJ file. It's a very small application, but this has all the marks of a boondoggle. There are only a few times,...

Sorry again for the downtime

My server, which I had for only 2 weeks, failed. It appeared to be another failure that I have now isolated to my APC battery, not the computer. However, the power supply in the computer was destroyed, but the hard drive was ok. I received a replacement, due to the warranty, and now everything is up...

VisualdBSee

Does anyone know anything about VisualDbSee? Alaska Software has asked me to contact a customer who is using the product, with ADS, and wants to convert to PGDBE. What is the purpose of VisualDBSee in an Xbase++ application? The customer wants to convert the application without source code changes. ...
