Re: [U2] [UV] TEXT box subroutine

2006-09-19 Thread Dave R
I find for pull down text boxes Accuterm works!,
I used a LISTB (tab separated line output in an execute statement capturing
the return of list data, looped through the data and separated the lines and
fields then passed it to accuterm list box.
Little to no code! Worked great!

Accuterm has a TXTBOX subroutine that can be immediately added anywhere from
within any green screen program for the desired answer.

I didn't look specifically, but I'm guessing that it has a multi-line

Re: [U2] [UV] TEXT box subroutine

2006-09-17 Thread Mark Johnson
I'm interested in hearing why accuterm is so bad and why Openinsight is
preferred.

One of the consultants I work with uses both and prefers accuterm. I'm
liking accuterm the more I use it for GUI and have presently concluded that
OI is a database instead of a front end/emulator. It's easier to implement a
new emulator like accuterm with its features than a new database conversion.

Thanks

In the past, I have integrated applications with a text box using wIntegrate
subroutine calls and have been very successful with that technique.  The
users like it, because they can enter information in a format like notepad.
It is very quick and easy to implement.  It has worked on every platform
that I have tried it on (R83, D3, Unidata, Universe and jBase).

RE: [U2] [UV] TEXT box subroutine

2006-09-15 Thread Bob Woodward
I wasn't implying I was looking for a gui tool.  Maybe I phrased it
wrong.  What I'm trying to accomplish is a green screen solution where
I'd be more than happy to re-display my underlying form and data after
I've allowed the user to modify a lengthy description field.  My intent
is to only display the first couple of lines but when the user wants to
edit that description, I display a "box" that they can move up and down,
left and right, insert and delete then either save the changes or reset
back to the original contents of the field.

The solutions I've been given, thus far, all look promising.  I'm
currently checking each to see how I could customize them to what my
specific needs are.

Again, thanks to everyone on the list!

BobW

Hi Bob,

Have you looked at AccuTerm as an alternative to Dynamic Connect. The
associated GUI library is amazing. We were recently involved in conversion
of a UniVerse application from character mode to GUI mode complete with
mouse support and the major parts of the job took two people less than three
days.

GED is a great program.

2 of my clients have dictated that all new development is in GED. It's a
wonderful marriage between VB forms and our beloved pick database.

Plus, Peter Schellenbach should get some form of Nobel Peace Prize for WED
as well.

My 1 cent.

Hi Martin,

Unfortunately, Dynamic Connect is our only option.  I've received three
workable solutions that I'm looking at.  This list is a gold mine!

Thanks,

Hi Bob,

Have you looked at AccuTerm as an alternative to Dynamic Connect. The
associated GUI library is amazing. We were recently involved in
conversion
of a UniVerse application from character mode to GUI mode complete with
mouse support and the major parts of the job took two people less than
three
days.

I can send you one off-list. Just need to make sure I get all the dependent
code :)
Feel free to adjust as you wish.
