Microsoft statusbar activex control customization

smargabandhu — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 07:01:58 -0600

Hello,

I have embedded Microsoft Statusbar activex control into our GUI application. The control is inside a smart frame and so that it can be easily included and customized for a container. I am using a imagelist activex control to display images inside the statusbar. The images (BMP, GIFS,JPEG,ICOM) looks stretched inside the statubar panel. The images are 16 X 16 resolution. Did anybody experienced similar problem. Can somebody help?

Thanks
Shanker

redskienz — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 21:53:25 -0600

Hi guys,
I tried to create a program that will generate code that will export table contents to excel
and wanted other people to test my project. (P.S. Please excuse my coding, I'm just a starter with progress :}).

This program is created using Openedge 10.1B and tested using Microsoft Excel 2007
DB2Excel is a program that automatically generates code for importing data to excel.

Step 1: db2Excel Collects tables from the database and makes them available for selection.
(if needed for schema preview, you can edit the source code to view system tables)

No-focus bug vs feature

c_verbiest — Wed, 14 May 2008 07:36:32 -0600

Prior to OpenEdge 10.1, when you click a no-focus, flat button in a window the window does not get focus. It's z-order among other windows is unchanged.

In 10.1A this feature (Progress calls it a bug) is fixed. Clicking a no-focus button now sets the focus to the window containing the button.

I'm looking for a way to get the old behaviour back.

mhannah@qbs.com.au — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 01:11:41 -0700

I have been attempting to get codejocks docking panes working in a Progress V9 smart window.

Has anyone managed to get these components operating in a Progress window ?

I have managed to get the primary windows docking pane the launch and create a fresh window, then by use of the getparent() setparent() calls to user32.dll, these launched window becomes a child window in my parent window, but it seems the codejock component isnt doing any control.

ShellExecuteExA

Daws — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 05:10:01 -0700

I'm trying to track programs opened through open edge i.e. word, notepad, excel, etc. To do this I've tried using ShellExecuteExA which seem to be capable of passing back the PID if you specify the SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS part of SHELLEXECUTEINFO. My problem is I can't figure out how to set this, everything so far has been based on wait until MS-Word finished printing section of OE Hive). Does anyone have any advice or code samples?

MAPI Problem

stuartrichler — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 17:43:38 -0700

Hi,

I downloaded the MAPI code that allows for multiple attachments. I ran the program and it created an e-mail message in my Outbox. The problem is that when I tried to run it again I get a Progress error telling me that it cannot find windows.i. It seems to make a mess of my path. Any ideas why this happens?

Sample installer for Codejock components runtime

c_verbiest — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 04:42:38 -0600

My window with the codejock components is ready for beta testing. I now needed to make an installer for the runtime version of the components. Some weeks ago I came across NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System).

In less than an hour I was able to create an installer with it.
I've attached a simple nsis source. It expects the runtime version of the components, found in cab files in %Program Files%\Codejock Software\ActiveX\Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX v11.1.0\bin\Redist, to be extracted to a subdirectory Components.

Codejock ShortcutBar and CommandBarsFrame

c_verbiest — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 04:44:48 -0600

This is my first attempt at a blog, forgive me for any newbie blog errors.
I'm developing a non-smart Progress window using the Codejock ShortcutBar and CommandBarsFrame controls.
I use Codejock 11.1 and Progress 10.1B01

I cannot share the actual code I developed, but I will try to share some of solutions for issues I encountered.

ShortcutBar

Items

The items added using AddItem must be windows, passing the hWnd of a frame won't work.
Progress windows aren't really suited for this job, but with the extra undocumented

.Net and Progress Gui

da-toolman — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 15:39:26 -0600

I'm not sure this is even possible but figured I'd throw it out there, it's at least good for an eye roll and muttered "WTF?"...

We have a legacy application, heavily based upon adm2. The idea is being explored to redo the UI, and instead of doing the entire app at once, the goal is to impliment pieces at a time. The solution that is being explored is to embed a web browser in the application, write the new functionality in Asp.net with ajax and utilize the embedded browser to view the page, essentially "overriding" the former functionality.

Hi there,

I've taken a look at Jurjen's code to make a toggle-box looks like a button with "Pushed state".
(see http://www.oehive.org/node/416)
It works really nice, but I'd like to use it with 16x16 icons and can't manage to get it work.
So any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
