Re: PDF in tooltip?

I will create a htmlviewer on my screen where the PDF is shown as a kind of preview. On the left I will have a browse and on the right I can show the PDF in a viewer. Yes, this is a good solution. We have been doing it this way for years in Bobby Drakos Medallion application which manages many docu...

Re: PDF in tooltip?

First, I would need to add the ability to display an image in a tooltip in eXpress++.
Then, I you would need to use XbpHtmlViewer to display the PDF in a WebBrowser and capture the screen to an image.

I will look into this and see if it is feasible.

Re: Happy Birthday

Thank you all for the birthday greeting.

I have been struggling with performance issue with this forum the past few days and haven't kept up with messages.

It seems that I needed to increase memory allocated to mySql.

It hope this works.

Re: Function for a sensitive search

I recommend looking at \exp20\samples\browsequery\browsequery.prg.

This uses wildcards and DC_SetScopeArray().

Re: ADS vs PG

I wrote an ERP system in Clipper back in the early 1990's. It required so much custom configuration that I had to make the screens and other stuff fully data-driven. One of the users was Annheiser-Busch. When I was taken out to dinner I was required to drink Budweiser beer. That was the last program...

Re: STRUCTURE ... ENDSTRUCTURE

If you look at the sample program \exp19\samples\printer\printerforms.prg, you will see how the BAP (Binary Access Package) is used to pass structures to windows API.

Re: ADS vs PG

You both forgot discussions on these topics: Those discussions were not intended to post reasons for my customer's project to fail. They were intended to find support and solutions for the project to succeed. And it worked! I followed advice from those who have had success with PGDBE, and I also se...

Re: ADS vs PG

This is not church. If you came to America and listened to what politicians are selling these days, you would think America was church. We shouldn't be having discussions about what is the solution until first we discuss what is the problem. PGDBE was developed to solve the problem of applications ...

Re: DC_Achoice() and DC_GuiAchoice() and Win11

Some of these functions were written as GUI replacements for my old Clipper product, dCLIP. They were Clipper code that was converted to Xbase++ back when I first started iwth Xbase++ in 1999. The code doesn't use any of the eXpress++ DC* commands which is very much better. I don't use Windows 11, s...
