Re: Top of Page

One of my clients has demonstrated to me issues where positioning of things drifts in the print preview window. Like, when page 1 first comes up it looks right. Then you change it to look at page 2, and then switch it back to page 1 and now all the sudden things are positioned slightly wrong all ove...

Re: Record Layouts

When using ScreenIO, its up to the programmer to decide if they want a Parent=NONE window. Sometimes, a PARENT=NONE window is appropriate for a given situation, and sometimes it isn't. If the screen you're designing is to be a popup, you can make it a PARENT=NONE window by specifying PARENT=NONE in ...

Re: Record Layouts

Screenio will automatically turn gui on and then turn it back off when it returns to your calling program.

i believe there is some experimental code in there to attempt to redraw your non-gui screen but if it doesn't work then you may have to redraw your screen yourself.

Re: proc parameters

There is a way to do it in procfiles too, but its a little tricky. Mikes technique might be more straight forward. Maybe someone remembers it.. But it was something like you have an INPUT VAR1$, VAR2$ kind of statement in the beginning of the proc file. And then you call it but you redirect the para...

Re: Mixing Keyed and Relative File Access

If you're reading a lot of records, like to build a listview, its faster to open the file Relative and read it Sequentially. Thats why ScreenIO and FileIO both sometimes don't use the keys. The other consideration, the reason that I use a unique key field in my software, is because the record number...

Re: running BR 3.91

Ok. I got the old version running. That's a pretty big step forward. I don't even want to say what I was doing wrong. I guess I just needed to wait for a minute to notice the obvious. I thought I had already corrected the drive statements but I hadn't. BR 3.91 runs fine in Windows 95 compatibility m...

Re: running BR 3.91

Gabriel, Is it a BTREE index? You might check that out. I vaguely remember working with those in the old days. http://brwiki2.brulescorp.com/index.php?title=Index_Facility -- Susan Susan, By the way, I just learned about BASEYEAR dependent indexes so thats cool. It seems like that will come in hand...

Re: running BR 3.91

100% I want to update them to a current version of BR. I'm trying to convince them to let me do that. Right now they're running on a very old computer. I've also been trying to get that working, but to do that I have to rebuild the indexes, and that's why I'm asking my question. My goal here is to g...

Re: running BR 3.91

Actually, I just found the compatibility mode for Windows 98. Its just not listed in the compatibility troubleshooter, but its there in the compatibility tab. Maybe that's not the problem.

I can get it to run but I get a blank splash screen.

running BR 3.91

Anyone got any tips for how to run BR 3.91 on a modern computer? Or how to determine what the index was for an old data file last run under 3.91? 3.91 doesn't run under DOSBox because it requires Win32. I think it ran under Windows 98, but I didn't see that as an option under windows 10 for its comp...

Re: NAS drive as a mapped drive for BRules

Your issue is the time delay in sharing your data over the internet (not to mention the security concerns). BR is expecting a response from the OS in a certain amount of time, but the internet is being really slow to give that response. Even if you could get it running you'd probably find that runni...

Re: 5.15-2.55-2.6

Very interesting.

I do note that if its printed in any kind of formatted way, or if its tested in an if statement, then it still works correctly.

Re: Screenio Listview Filterlist question

Gordon,

I just tried it, and in my testing, saying "ATTR=/#FF0000:#00FF00" in the input fields does not seem to set the Listview hi-lite color.

Are you able to change the color of the listview hi-lite color this way? (or any other way?)
