using proparse within an eclipse plugin

hi @all

i have a question about using proparse in an eclipse plugin. i wanna use proparse to create a codeformatter. because of that i need an AST. The AST provided by the openedge architct isnt satisfing, because i cant read the preprocessor statements. that's why i switched to proparse.

now the problem:
proparse checks the file references for included files. is there a simple way to tell proparse not to check such paths, it would be ok that i only get yep this is an include statement?
here my code:


File f = new File(currentUnit.getFileName());

Open a Windows from a Dialog

Hello Everybody,

We are using both Dialog and Windows to design screen, and want to open
a Windows from a Dialog button call.

As Dialog cannot open Windows (WAIT-FOR issue), was wondering is it
would be possible to change Windows behaviour by code.
Meaning, using a parameter + inside code to handle : "Windows mode" /
"Dialog mode".

Please note for various excuses, we cannot afford to fully redesign one
screen from Windows to Dialog nor Dialog to Windows.

My guess was :
- inside 4GL code ? (but maybe AppBuilder won't appreciate)
- using .dll code ?

How to get the printer port number using windows API call

Hi all,

Using the Windows API call, could you please tell us how to get the port number of the printer. Because while setting the value of activeprinter method/property of MS word 2007 it requires "printer name" on "port number".
The port number which we are trying to get by this method is equivalent to 'Session:printer-port"

Thanks,
Ashwath


Converting app from 9.1D to OpenEdge - What became of the 9.1D function 'GetPanelFrame' in OE?

Hi All,

WinXP/Win7 ADM2:

Migrating one of my apps from 9.1D to OpenEdge. Hoping someone can tell me what became of the 9.1D function 'GetPanelFrame' in OE?

I'd been using it to determine the handle to the dynamic toolbar frame.

I'd then do some panel-frame size calculations and insert/manipulate toolbar buttons dynamically using 'CreateButton' function which requires the Panel Frame handle. See pseudo code below:

DEF VAR v-PanelFrameHdl AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.
DEF VAR v-Pix AS INT NO-UNDO.
DEF VAR v-Caption AS CHAR NO-UNDO.


DotNet Data Types

I am using OpenEdge 10.2.B and need access to the DotNet Long datatype as well as the Byte array. Is there some documentation somewhere that shows me how to reference those inside Progress?


Create an Secure Socket (SSL3) Connection with Progess Version 9

Is it possible to create an secure socket connection for posting data using:

CREATE SOCKET Socket$h.
Socket$h:CONNECT('-H ' + postData.Host + ' -S ' + postData.Port) NO-ERROR.

(Some background info: I need to make an connection with the UPS-server. This works but it responds with a http 400-error:

Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.
)

Anyone encountered this problem before? How did you solve it? Or do you have an idea in which direction to look for the solution.

OE Architect in Linux

I have been doing Openedge(10.1c) development on Linux(Ubuntu) for sometime now & I dearly miss OE Architect which was available on windows but not on Linux.

Just wondering if anyone here has been able to configure openedge plug-in with eclipse on Linux successfully ? if yes, then please do let me know the steps.


.NET -> Porgress ( Think not of a .NET Bridge but of a .Progess Bridge)

Curious Question: Can I access/call or use Progress objects from .Net(c#) code? (P/Invoke?)

Example: I'm programming an application in .Net and I have my business logic coded in ABL objects, I would like to instantiate and use the ABL objects directly from c#.
Think of it as an "reverse .NET Bridge" or a "Progress Bridge"

I currently work at a company that uses both .Net and Progress extensively.
We have business logic code in Progress as well in .Net. (this will not change).
