Also, the position numbers returned by wx don't relate to any actual position, as far as I can tell. The events have two main values in EventData: orientation and position. Orientation will be either 'Horizontal' or 'Vertical', depending on which direction the scroll was. Position is a positive integer that seems to relate to how many 'lines' the scrolled window thinks it has.

So the problem is not getting the statement but converting it to the proper syntax of the DB you are using. For example Postgres requires special constraints/triggers (not sure of the name) to allow inserts, updates, Return, etc... So just copying the Views would do very little beyond knowing the field names and possible joins.

Will really appreciate if a few experts can share their entire application developed using Dabo. Hoping for a positive response Regards, Manoharan I wish I could but I can't because the code I have developed is proprietary and I think I might be sued if I released it. The other issue is I have only been programming in python for two years (and the first year I don't count because I was just testing the waters) and still have much to learn. But if you have a project in mind just present it and I'm sure we will help. BTW: There are several approachs to programming with Dabo. I hand code my screens and others use the ClassDesigner to create screens. And still others use a combination of the two. When I started two years ago ClassDesigner was not very stable so I just taught myself how to hand code the screens. But today ClassDesigner is able to do everything I can do with a screen - just differently in some cases. And still another way is to use the App Wizard that Paul developed. Paul uses modified code based on the App Wizard code he wrote. Then others only use the ClassDesigner to create UI's and don't use the bizobj or data layers. As you can see Dabo is very flexible. It will do the job. Also Dabo eats it's own dog food. ClassDesigner, ReportWriter, AppWizard and several other apps were written using Dabo. -- John Fabiani ___ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/200906280725.07264.jfabi...@yolo.com

Re: [dabo-users] dHtmlBox RegID problem
On Friday 26 June 2009 10:32:35 am Mike Mabey wrote: Hi everyone, I've got an app that has a dPageFrame separating the various functions. One of the pages is dedicated as a Help tab. I discovered the dHtmlBox widget and thought this might be a good way to display a help page inside the app. The problem is I've been trying to link the dHtmlBox widget to a locally stored .htm file with no success. Here's what I've tried: - Putting the file name inthe Source property. Then I figured out that this was for displaying HTML source code. - Putting the file name in the Page property. According to what I understand from the documentation, this should have worked, but the widget kept trying to find http://help.htm - Setting the dHtmlBox's Page property to os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'help.htm') when the form initializes. The problem I ran into doing it this way was setting the RegID of the dHtmlBox. I don't know why, but in ClassDesigner, I could only type numbers and the letter 'e' in the RegID field of the Object Info window. I tried setting it manually in the .cdxml file, but when I ran the code, I got the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File PreferenceManager.py, line 22, in module main() File PreferenceManager.py, line 15, in main app.start() File C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\dApp.py, line 372, in start self.setup() File C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\dApp.py, line 328, in setup self.initUIApp() File C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\dApp.py, line 364, in initUIApp self.uiApp.setup() File C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\uiApp.py, line 412, in setup frm = self.dApp.MainForm = dabo.ui.createForm(mfc) File C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\__init__.py, line 1145, in createForm frm = cls(*args, **kwargs) File c:\users\ecegra~1\appdata\local\temp\tmpeow3q3.py, line 9, in __init__ super(dForm_31058, self).__init__(parent=parent, attProperties=attProperties, *args, **kwargs) File C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\dForm.py, line 931, in __init__ BaseForm.__init__(self, preClass, parent, properties, attProperties, *args,**kwargs) File C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\dForm.py, line 44, in __init__ fm.dFormMixin.__init__(self, preClass, parent, properties, attProperties, *args, **kwargs) File C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\dFormMixin.py, line 89, in __init__ attProperties, *args, **kwargs) File C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\dPemMixin.py, line 86, in __init__ self._initProperties() File C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\dObject.py, line 177, in _initProperties self.initProperties() File c:\users\ecegra~1\appdata\local\temp\tmpeow3q3.py, line 585, in initProperties self.Form.HelpPage.Page = tmp AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'HelpPage' Obviously, the string I set as the RegID was 'HelpPage'.

If you still have no trouble changing it, let me know and then tell me what will be useful information for me to post as a simple test case so we can get this figured out. Thanks, Mike M. I created a form that contained a pageframe with three tabs. I then added a vert-sizer to one of the tabs. Next just add an dHtmlBox to the vert-sizer. Then I entered a RegID. It took chars without issue. I saved it and re-opened it. I then changed the RegID. All worked.

[dabo-users] problem with requery taking a long time
I have a some what complex form - 15 parent/child/grandchild relations. To
clear my screen or reset the data I set the
PrimaryBizobj.setWhereClause('1=0') and then do a Form.requery(). The
requery() resets the form controls to blank values. The problem is one of
performance. Sometimes the requery() takes a half second but many times it
takes as much as 12 seconds. Waiting 12 seconds is a long time. Does anyone
have a suggestion on improving the time. Or how I might determine the cause.

Larry and I have several hours into the debug of this issue without any
success. We have come to the conclusion that it is NOT the backend DB. The
Form.requery() is finished in under a second. But the form screen refresh
takes as much as 40 seconds to complete (runs faster on windows). Top reports
that python has gone to 100% until the form is cleared.
We now need more advise.
We tried to turn on the event log but could not figure out what statements
were required. We tried:
app.LogEvents = ('All')
dabo.eventLogging = True
But nothing appears in the standard out nor is a log file created.
We have no idea where to look next! There are no tracebacks, any error
message displayed anywhere.
Need help!

On Wednesday 27 May 2009 06:22:15 am Ricardo Aráoz wrote: I've done something similar under VFP. I have a form with a label, a textbox and a list box beneath them with the names and contents of all the pertinent filter variables. As the user scrolls through the list box the label takes the value of the highlighted variable and the textbox the corresponding content, if the user wants to change the value of a filter variable he does so in the textbox, where the data is validated properly (mask is in effect to filter input), pre-processing is done and results converted to proper type are fed to appropriately named property. Once the ok button is pressed the query is executed with values taken from these properties. This schema allows me validation against other defined variables (just validate the corresponding properties). The filter variable names, pre-processing, validation, error message (when validation is not true), type, mask, visibility (so I can use variables not accessible to the user), etc. are stored in a table. Sounds good! So can I assume that when a range is required that there are var from and var to in the list? In our case the idea was to have dynamic controls appear as required. On the left we have a dropdown with single, range, or 'all' for each of the required params. If the user selects single only one (textbox, datebox, or masktextbox) control appears, if 'range' is selected then two controls appear. There is nothing to do if 'all' is used. The SQL then uses the user input to retrieve data. The problem of validation is of concern. Unlike VFP Dabo (in general) expects bizobj's to handle validation. In this case there is no bizobj. So we haven't got it down pat for the moment. But we are providing the user lookup tools to pick the params. For example if the user wanted to pick a customer they would click on the lookup button and a pick-grid would appear listing the customers. This goes a long ways in preventing bad input. Our biggest issue is the report interface is very dependent on tables, and our home grown classes. The tables (meta data) I don't mind. They don't have to be on a postgres server. We could have used SQLite. But using our home grown classes are of concern. Not that they don't work - they do. Just that when we wrote them we were less than knowledgeable when it came to Dabo and python in general.

On Monday 25 May 2009 05:33:27 pm Roger Lovelock wrote: Hi All, A thought I had! The most common enhancement to my dabo application is new report formats (changes or additions). Because of the nature of the report writer and the way reports are run it means adding code to the main app and redistributing an updated version to all users. My thought was that if a generalised report runner was included in my app I would only need to distribute text and/or xml files to add new reports. To explain - if I had an xml or text file per report which included the descriptive name of the report, connection name, sql statement and report definition file name then a generalised routine (optionally stand-alone or alternatively embedded in the application) could do the following :- read all report text files display a drop down list of available reports (descriptive name) upon selection of a list item get the connection create a dataset from the sql statement run the specified report and display the pdf To add a new report would just need the relevant report text file, cdxml file and rfxml files loaded in the app directory. Of course two other thoughts come to mind - all the data in the report text file could be included in the rfxml file. - A stand-alone user friendly ad-hoc report generator could be developed from this base utilising the report designer as a starting point. Has anyone else had thoughts or done anything along these lines? Any suggestions? Roger Larry and I are doing something very similar. Although, your description does not cover all the issues. For example you need more than just a dropdown to select a report. You need a way to interact with the user. Most reports will need input from the user - such as date ranges or client names. IOW the params for the sql. BTW that is not as easy as it may sound. Dynamically, displaying textboxes, date boxes, spinners, dropdowns can be a pain and remember that you can have ranges and may need to provide validation along with lookups for each control. That said, are you going to limit the reporting tool to PDF's? Most apps these days need to email, create spreadsheets, SMS text?, and of course printing. BTW how would you handle the connection problem for remote users? If the connection is within the report then it would be likely that the connection would be wrong for the remote users. I'm not shooting down the idea. I like it (or I wouldn't be doing something similar).

Re: [dabo-users] use a virtual field in the method of a second virtual field
Yes, you can use the results of virtual fields in other virtual fields. You may just call getSubTotal() directly though. What is the correct way to handle this? Be aware that the virtual fields will calc every time the grid asks for a refresh. Paul This is what I ended doing (thanks to Larry's help). I'm not sure this is the correct way to handle the problem. But I knew I wanted to keep everything in the bizobj (don't want violate one of Ed's rules - don't mix UI and Bizobjs). But I am concerned that the order of the calls is important and maybe timing. Although, I have not seen any issues. If anyone see anything negative about my way - Please let me know. I added two attributes for the child bizobj (_totalrec, _balance). I then used one virtual field and one method to set the values correctly. In the child table that contains all of my recieved payments. I did the following: def InitProperties(self): self._totalrec = 0 self._balance = 0 def gettotalRec(self): tempCur = self.getTempCursor() tempCur.execute(Select sum(amt_rec) as totalrec from escoursepayments where fk_enroll = %s % self.MainForm.esenroll.Record.pkid) try: myret = tempCur.Record.totalrec self._totalrec = myret self._balance = self.Parent.Record.course_cost - myret except: myret = 0 self._totalrec = myret self._balance = self.Parent.Record.course_cost return myret def getBalance(self): try: myret = self._balance except: myret = 0 return myret On the Form I have the following: hs.append(dabo.ui.dLabel(self,Caption='Total Rec'), halign=right) hs.append(dabo.ui.dTextBox(self,Width=175,ReadOnly=True,RegID='courseRecID',DataSource='public.escoursepayments',DataField='totalrec')) hs.append(dabo.ui.dLabel(self,Caption='Balance'), halign=right) hs.append(dabo.ui.dTextBox(self,Width=175,ReadOnly=True,RegID='balanceID',DataSource=self.Form.escoursepayments, DataField='getBalance')) The first DataField (totalrec) uses the virtual field.

[dabo-users] use a virtual field in the method of a second virtual field
I have classic grid that contains a list of payments made on account. The
grid is populated from the bizobj payments which is a child of the client.
I need the subtotal and the balance. Total amt - subtotal = balance
The bizobj has
addField('amt_rec')
addField('fk_client')
I now have to sum(amt_rec) where fk_client = somePkOfClient.
VirtualFields = {subtotal: self.getSubTotal}
def getSubTotal(self):
tempCur=self.getTempCursor()
tempCur.execute(Select sum(amt_rec) as totalrec from payments where
fk_client = %s % client_pkid)
return tempCur.Record.totalrec
subtotal has the correct figure.
Can I use subtotal in the next virtual field?
def getBalance(self):
return total - self.subtotal
What is the correct way to handle this?

Re: [dabo-users] Reportwriter architecture - why ReportLab vs. OpenOffice Writer?
On Monday 18 May 2009 05:54:19 pm Paul McNett wrote: pyt...@bdurham.com wrote: Can you share your thoughts on why you chose to base the Dabo report writer off of ReportLab vs. the Open Office word processor? Well it wasn't either/or. There are other options out there too. I simply chose something easy to use, written in python, that gave the desired output (pdf). I think there's room to develop different outputs, including open office writer. The one I've been thinking about is to output to wx.PostscriptDC and wx.PaintDC, to print directly to a printer and to display on a wx.Window, respectively. My assumption is that ReportLab removes the dependency of a large application like Writer. But Writer might(?) allow you to generate Open Office compatible markup that shifts calculations for group height, page breaks, headers, footers, etc to the Writer engine vs. your code? It would be a different style of output, sure. I haven't tried to automate Writer so I don't know how big the integration gap is or how version dependent Writer files are. I've never tried automating OpenOffice either, but I know that there's the pyUno bridge for the purpose. OpenOffice automation is done in Java (yuck) but I think pyUno lets you write python code to do it. Be my guest! :) Paul Like you said there are several solutions out on the web. The ones I found all had java as the base programming language (BIRT, jReport, openOffice). I took a good look at automating openoffice. In fact I found a few examples of automating openOffice written in Python that I played with. But I have to say automating openoffice might have a few advantages but in general just a pain. Actually, not much different than coding for Word or Excel (in a general way). But really what are those advantages? The developer has access to Writer and Calc (and of course all the other openOffice tools). There are two ways to control openOffice the built-in scripting language (like VBA) and pyUNO. The first required I learn yet another language. So I ruled that out. The second worked but required that I learn enough of the feature set of openOffice to cause me to reconsider. I have coded for Word and Excel in the past. And my memories were that it was a PITA. And last - I had to have openOffice installed somewhere (openOffice will work a server). Believe it or not but some of my client don't want to let go of M$. But one big is openOffice can print to almost any printer and almost anywhere there is a connection. But let's assume that ReportDesigner and reportWriter are working as expected. Then all I have to learn is - Hmmm - Nothing! It uses all the Dabo stuff from the start. The biggest issue is reportWriter does not print - it only creates PDF files and of course no spreadsheets. However, the last statement turns out not to be exactly correct. Viewers and therefore printing are ubiquitous for PDF's. Acroread, kPDF, and many others are available free and normally installed. Turns out printing a PDF from python for Linux, Mac, and Windows is very easy. Take a look at win32print for you windows guys and cups for linux and Mac. So that just leaves spreadsheets. Currently we are using xlwt which is about the same amount of work to produce a spreadsheet as it was with Excel. And of course it will require something like openOffice or Excel to print or view. I haven't found a solution around this problem - but I hope too.

But if you have different bizobjs from the same table Ah, I think that this is the problem. A bizobj represents the business logic interface to a table, so while there may be more than one instance of a bizobj, there should not be more than one set of rules that govern a table. I understand what you mean and, given I don't know Dabo I'm probably wrong. But the bizobj also encapsulates relationships and this sparks the need for several bizobjs from the same table, or not? Let me give you an example: account.account_id = contact.account_id (1 Account, M Contact) opportunity.opportunity_id = contact.opportunity_id (1 Opportunity, M Contact) So contacts are assigned to Acounts, but they may also be assigned to Opportunities. I have two diferent pages listing all Accounts and All Opportunities both with a contacts tab. Since it's only possible to have one LinkField in a bizobj (it wouldn't make since anyother way), this means: class ContactAcctBizobj(dabo.biz.dBizobj): def afterInit(self): self.addFrom(contact) ... self.addField(contact_id) self.addField(account_id) self.DataSource = contact self.LinkField = account_id # LinkField is different self.KeyField = contact_id class ContactOpptyBizobj(dabo.biz.dBizobj): def afterInit(self): self.addFrom(contact) ... self.addField(contact_id) self.addField(opportunity_id) self.DataSource = contact self.LinkField = opportunity_id # LinkField is different self.KeyField = contact_id What am I missing here? Does Bizobj.addChild work for bizobjs that have not been added to a Form? Sure. Bizobjs don't know anything about UI objects. Great. Miguel I have played with this issue in the recent past ( a few months ago). account.account_id = contact.account_id (1 Account, M Contact) opportunity.opportunity_id = contact.opportunity_id (1 Opportunity, M Contact) In the visual Fox Pro world setting up that relation is easy. VFP has 'use again'. Where I can reuse a table with a different alias. I have attempted to do the same with Dabo without success. I don't say it can't be done (because others have reported success) I just say I was unsuccessful. I have defined a class for a bizobj and I called it 'Contact' class Contact(dabo.biz.dBizobj): def afterInit(self): self.DataSource = 'public.contact' self.KeyField = 'pkid' self.addField = 'pkid' self.addField = 'name' self.addField = 'fk_account' self.addField = 'fk_opportunity' In the MainForm Class I have tried: def CreateBizobjs(self): self.acct_Contact = Contact(self.connection) self.acct_Contact.LinkField= 'fk_account' self.acct_Contact.ParentLinkField = 'pkid' self.opp_Contact = Contact(self.connection) self.oop_Contact.LinkField= 'fk_opportunity' self.oop_Contact.ParentLinkField = 'pkid' The above code does not work for me. But I think it should. I have two instances of the same table and each instances has different links. I have tried changing the string of the DataSource (used the addFrom ='public.contact') for each of the instances. And that does not work. In the end I used a view to make it work. I was able to do so because the program only required a read only table. As of 8.3 postgres I can update views in a much simplier manner. So it may be a moot issue. But still I think it should work. Of course you could have designed the tables in a different manner. I'm sure that's what Ed will say. There are several ways to get that done.

My goal is to have a single location to navigate, new, delete, save, and whatever actions are common to all the pages in the MainForm Toolbar (a VCR control). I think this is a design issue that should be quite common for data intensive applications that are not following the MDI or multi form interfaces - I mean those that try to keep all in one form, and open forms just for specific taks (typically in a modal fashion). I searched the lists for quite a while and am surprised to have very little regarding this design challenge. So I came decided to post this. I came up with the following approach, but am uncertain. Is there a Dabo way to accomplish this? I wonder what is your approach? * Use different Bizobjs depending on the selected dPage. In order to do this every time a dPage changes (in the dPageFrameNoTabs), self.dataSourceParameter is updated to the relevant bizobj. You can have as many bizobjs as required. The very first defined bizobj is the PrimaryBizobj by default. Are each of the bizobjs independent of each other? * I'm know the MainForm is aware of its primaryBizobj, so the dataSourceParameter as a parameter in every VCR call to MainForm methods. I do this because the VCR has no way of knowing if dPage has changed: I think there maybe lots of ways to handle this. I think I would create a method for next() and test for the active page. Something like: def next(self,evt): if thisPage_IsActive: self.thisPageBizobj.next() ## write code to move to the next record in the bizobj - if required OR you could just set a Form property as you enter the dPage in the next() that would set the name of the bizobj. def next(self,evt): eval(self.varName.next()) # on the new MainForm method called by the VCR button def new(self, evt): self.super(dataSource=self.dataSourceParameter) Did you mean 'new'? Normally, VCR's buttons are not associated with the new(). Normally they are next,last,first,prior. * Keep separate bizObjs groups for each dPage, for example: For the AccountMainPage: AccountBizobj, with children named: AcctOpptiesBizobj, AcctContactsBizobj For the OpptyMainPage: OpptyBizobj, with children named: OpptyContactsBizobj, OpptyServCasesBizobj If the tabs (dPage) are truely independent then that sounds great. But normally there is a master table of some sort. Maybe it is the customer table. Then you might have tabs with names like 'Customer', 'Sales History', 'Contacts', 'On order', 'Notes'. Then I have 'Customer' as the primarybiz, children would be 'Sales', 'Contacts', etc.. If you have a many to many issue - let me know and I'll send you a copy of a recent discussion one a way to handle the problem. Of course all these bizobjs will live under the MainForm, the AccountBizobj is the primaryBizobj. I doubt the above would be much help if the tabs are independent. I see the following issues/doubts: * Maybe to may Bizobjs under the form may slow things due to lots of data loading. I have not seen to much of an issue with the number of bizobjs the form requires. Retrieving lots of data might be but the number does not seems to effect very much. * MainForm.dataSourceParameter is used in a way it's not designed to. But I don't see a problem there, do you? I've never used the dataSourceParameter. Like I asked, does this make sense. What's your opinion/ approach?

[dabo-users] intermediary table as parent
In a many to many relationship there is often a third table -intermediary table. Normally, I link based on two fields. But bizobj.LinkField only allows one string or one field. It would be nice if the bizobj.LinkField could accept a tuple with multi fields and have the where cause work correctly for the child. So it would be nice to have a bizobj.LinkField that accepted more than just one field. Of course there maybe a different way to handle the situation of needing a where clause that requires to fields. -- John Fabiani ___ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/200905140905.11729.jfabi...@yolo.com

I am using the following

if m is not None:
groups = m.groupdict()
if not groups.has_key(year):
curYear = datetime.date.today().year
if groups.has_key(shortyear):
groups[year] = int(%s%s %
(str(curYear)[:2],
groups[shortyear]))
else:
groups[year] = curYear
try:
ret = datetime.date(int(groups[year]),
int(groups[month]),
int(groups[day]))
except ValueError:
# Could be that the day was out of range for
the particular month
# (Sept. only has 30 days but the regex will
allow 31, etc.)
pass
if ret is not None:
break
I think this has something to do with how dates.py seeing my groups.
groups

That's what I thought. One requirement of list controls that we inherit from wxPython is that the value must be an item in the list. When you set DataSource and DataField, it tries to set the value of the control, but you haven't populated the Choices yet, so you get the error you reported. So the Keys and Choices aren't populated automagically by setting DataSource and DataField, right? Thinking this over: that wouldn't work for the lookup case, I think. The best way to handle this is to set the DataSource and DataField *after* you have populated the list. So remove those from the constructor code. You can include ValueMode in the constructor; you can also include Choices if you've already determined them. So the optimal code would be: chc = some method to get available choices dl = dabo.ui.dDropdownList(pn, Choices=chc, ValueMode=String) dl.DataSource = rubrik dl.DataField = rub_name I tried this, and now the dDropdownList is filled correctly, I get no error messages - but the parent-child relation doesn't seem to work: the grid for the child records always shows the records belonging to the first parent record. I didn't see anything in the code that looked wrong so I would start doing some debugging. I have a guess that the problem is the dropdown is changing but the record of the 'rubrik' is not moving. So you can prove it. First open a dShell (contrl-d). Check to see if the value of the dropdown is changing. Most likely it is. Check CurrentSQL for 'dinge' and make sure that the where is changing or is not changing. At the same time check the 'rubrik' dataset and see if it's changing. If the above proves correct then I would write a little code that fired as a result of the dropdown that will set the where clause of either of the two tables.

Adding 1 to the id really needs to happen at the db layer, such as by using an auto_increment field, as some other person could be running your app, and also adding 1 to the last id, and then both you and that other person have assigned the same id to different records! For primary keys that are not auto-increment, you could use dabo.lib.getRandomUUID(), which is guaranteed to be unique every single time, but again you'd want to do that in the biz layer, not in the ui layer, using DefaultValues, like: def initProperties(self): self.DefaultValues[id] = dabo.lib.getRandomUUID For filling with info from the last record, that should happen in the biz layer too.

Hi
Is Dabo suitable for small utilities?
Small GUI utilities, or command-line?
It take about 12-15 seconds on my laptop to start the simplest Dabo
application (created using the designer, each time i start it, i.e. OS
cache didn't matter).
How fast does this run (put it in a test.py file and run it):
{{{
import time
import dabo
beg = time.time()
dabo.ui.loadUI(wx)
app = dabo.dApp()
app.setup()
def onActivate(evt):
app.finish()
app.MainForm = dabo.ui.dForm(OnActivate=onActivate)
app.start()
end = time.time()
print
Seconds to import dabo, instantiate a dApp, instantiate
a dForm, and close the app:, end-beg
}}}
This will help determine if Python/Dabo is slow, or something in your
form design or even in the cdxml conversion is the issue.
Here's three runs on my Ubuntu 8.10 on not very impressive hardware:
3.82075691223
1.3194899559
1.3800508976
Is that normal? Or maybe Dabo is aimed only toward big applications?
Dabo is aimed for big apps, yes. But, my big application loads and
presents the first form to the user in less than 5 seconds.
Or is there any way to reduce this time?
Nate's suggestion of having an umbrella app loaded was pretty good. You
could load it once and then select utilities from a menu or some sort of
GUI.
Paul
My slowest form loads in 7 seconds on the avg. This is on three year old
hardware (lots of ram 4 gb) using openSUSE. The same form runs much faster
on windows XP around 4-5 second loads.
With that said I have most everything available from Dabo on the form. Twenty
nine bizobj's with lots of virtual fields, lots of joins, lots of parent
child and grandchild relations, etc.. I have almost every control available
from Dabo including the standard textboxes, date controls, check boxes, radio
controls, dropdown boxes, tab pages, popup dialogs that contain Checklist.
My point is the load time is reasonable. I have experimented with all sorts
of ways to improve the load time without any real success. I then decided to
test the load time against VFP. I did not have to write the VFP form from
scratch because my current project requires that I emulate a VFP form in
Dabo. IOW I created the Dabo form based on the VFP form. I found it was
not that different. VFP for a similar form took around 4-5 seconds (on
windows of course). In fact I discovered that I could get VFP to load even
slower if I wasn't careful.
I have thought about providing a splash screen while in the background loading
of wx, and other modules required took place. But I haven't done anything
about doing it.

Probably I know too few about the dabo system.
But it does not work. It generates an error concerning the addFrom
field. I should probably connect first to the database with something like
biz1 = MyBizobj(Connection) ,
however, I don't know how to make a connection. Furthermore a Connection
object is already available inside the classdesigner, but this is
somehow automagically generated from the cdxml file, so I cannot review
this file. Furthermore putting this in the MyBizobj class file I think
the biz1 variable is not globally accessible.

I can do self.Form.getBizobj('datasourcename') but there has to be
another way.
class MyBizobj(dabo.biz.dBizobj):
def initProperties(self):
self.DataSource = myTable
#Code for rest goes here
biz1 = MyBizobj()
biz2 = MyBizobj()
You don't have to attach them to the Form...
Regards,
Nate
From within code created by ClassDesigner there will be a method of the
Form createBizobjs(). In the method you should see something similar to
publicagmiscBizobj = self.Application.biz.PublicagmiscBizobj(self.Connection)
self.addBizobj(publicagmiscBizobj)
Where self.Connection is the connection
so in the method createBizobjs() do something like what follows:
self.biz1=MyBizobj(self.Connection)
self.biz2= Mybizobj(self.Connection)
Notice that the there is NO code to add the bizobj's to the form.
That works for what Nate was suggesting.
How to make a connection:
self.Application.addConnectFile(someConnectionFile.cnxml)
self.Connection = self.Application.getConnectionByName(SomeConnectionName)
If you are using ClassDesigner the above is done for you.

If you issue a multi dataset join execute command in a loop you get an

I got around it by explicitly deleting the sqlite table at the end of the

Am I doing something wrong or should the dataset auto delete the table?
For example...

for reportGroupRec in self.ReportGroupsBizobj.getDataSet():

#for each distinct value...
for rec in groupidsDS:
groupid = rec['groupid']
#get data from another table based on distinct value
tmpcursor.execute('select pkid, nemailtype as demailtype,
lusps_delivery as dusps, email from public.%s where pkid =

#put data into a dataset
ds1 = tmpcursor.getDataSet()
#issue a select joining reportDS and ds1 datasets

My understanding of the use of this feature is for sub-queries of the current
datasets.
Therefore, I think this is a bug. Reading the code it appears to me that the
dDataSet.py assumes that the table does not exist and always attempts to
create the DB. That of course will cause an error if the table already
exist. If the table exist it should be dropped then re-created as required.
Larry I think this should be a ticket. You should not have to manually drop
the table to re-use the same select statement with different params.
