The OpenEdge Hive

I'm using a Microsoft ListView control in my program and want to change the color of the selected item in the list. Does anyone know how to do that? I tried using :ForeColor but any integer I assign to it fails to work.

I need to be able to create a way to view/modify a PDF file (Adobe form) inside an OpenEdge application. Has anyone done this that might have suggestions on how to start?

I just posted a new build to www.joanju.com/proparse/ with support for reserved keywords as names for class members. Get it while it's hot!

I want to build a procedure that will take in a query string, dynamically run it and display the results into a grid. I've done that using code like this:

DEF VAR vBuffer AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.
DEF VAR vQuery AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.

CREATE BUFFER vBuffer FOR TABLE txtTable:SCREEN-VALUE.
CREATE QUERY vQuery.

vQuery:SET-BUFFERS(vBuffer).
vQuery:QUERY-PREPARE(txtQuery:SCREEN-VALUE).
vQuery:QUERY-OPEN().
vQuery:GET-FIRST().
...
Code to insert into the grid...
...

Hi,
If any one give me the suggestion for adding a printer button on dialog box.

please give me your constructive feedback.

I posted proparse build 1075 to http://www.joanju.com/proparse/ . This build adds support for ABL 10.2B syntax, and also fixes some bugs in supporting earlier class-based syntax. I've also released a new version of AutoDox2, which includes these updates.

I am trying to open a URL using webbrowser control by doing a HTTP POST with some xml data to the URL (instead of HTTP GET it normally does). However my code is not working:

DEF VAR wkTarget AS CHAR NO-UNDO.
DEF VAR wkpostData AS INT NO-UNDO.

create "InternetExplorer.Application" chExplorer.
Assign
chExplorer:menubar = false
chExplorer:addressbar = false

Is there a way to change the text on buttons that are displayed in a popup message? For example:

MESSAGE "This is a test. Do you wish to continue?"
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX BUTTONS YES-NO UPDATE vContinue.

Is there a way to creat buttons that don't say YES-NO like above and say something else (whatever I want to put into them)?

Just a note, in case anybody else runs into this. I couldn't get the character client to work (Windows 7), but found what was wrong. Right-click on the shortcut to get the context menu, go to Properties, select the Layout tab, and look at the Screen buffer size. The height in the screen buffer size should be the same as the height in the Window size.

Hi,

In OE Architect you can run your own procedures from menu or context menu using OpenEdge Customization editor. If I select some text from active file on editor, is there any change to get that selected text in called procedure? Meaning that I have some file opened in OEA. Then I select text from it. Then I run my own procedure (ie test.p) that I have added to Customization/Extensibility menu. In that called procedure (test.p) I need to know that selected text.
