picture button

Is there a way to make a button with a picture on it? I now I can make a picture that returns an fkey value and I can make a button, but is there a way (besides making a picture of a button with a picture on it) to make an actual button that has a picture on it?

Re: Screenio Listview Filterlist question

To my knowledge, the transparent setting has never worked for foreground colors, it was only ever developed for the background.

Windows 10 update and %programdata% rights

We've been encountering an issue where BR returns an error 4205 trying to make any file in the %programdata% (c:\programdata\...) directory. Other directories work fine. We have noticed that we can easily make this file in windows explorer, but not from within BR. This is an issue for us because mos...

Re: 2274

Sorry Gabriel, I gave it a few hours but I'm not able to duplicate the issue outside of my real environment. In the stripped down version it works as it should, but in my live environment, the removal of the lines that execute con filenames mixed_case con filenames upper_case fixes the issue. I'm gl...

Re: 2274

It appears to have something to do with switching back and forth between config filenames upper_case and config filenames mixed_case. Despite the fact that I was under mixed case and my capitalization was correct I would get the 2274 error anyway. Removed the bouncing back and forth and it works fine.

I'm getting an error 2274 and it doesn't seem to make sense The brwiki says this: Error 2274 Summary: Function in use Cause: A function being processed by a Library statement was previously linked to another library and is currently active. Remedy: Wait until execution of the function is complete be...

Re: System call to Atlantis word processor hanging

Susan, you said: To return to Business Rules!, type 'exit'. L:\br>c:\Program Files (x86)\Atlantis\atlantis.exe /pt C:\brlocal\NOTE-c081.rtf "HP Universal Printing PCL 6" This doesn't look right to me. The c:\Program Files (x86)\Atlantis\atlantis.exe part needs to have double quotes around ...

Re: System call to Atlantis word processor hanging

Gabriel is correct - you can do it in a drive statement like that. I don't use the drive statement, but instead set an environment variable and a substitute statement. I call it Q - it defaults to c:\programdata, but my data folder is defineable by a setenv in brconfig.sys. It's like a drive stateme...

Re: System call to Atlantis word processor hanging

I used to use %appdata%, but now prefer to use %programdata%. I don't recall why I made the switch. It's a shorter path with no spaces which can be helpful sometimes. i.e. c:\programData vs C:\Users\niceg\AppData\Roaming. Susan, you might try calling Atlantis waiting 2 seconds and calling it a secon...

Re: BREAK Command Features

I also give my +1 to file handle changes. When working with my own code base which is 30+ years old now, which some of it has hard coded file numbers and some of it uses functions to return available file handles - sometimes there are conflicts that were unforeseen when I updated part a program or a...

Re: missing accuracy

Thank you! you're absolutely correct! Taking the # off made it work. Now my code that builds those things simply says if something is longer than 15 characters to remove the #. That'll keep everything else working exactly as it has been and those that need it get the extra love. For me I did have to...

Re: missing accuracy

In my system all the screens process through the same dynamic rinput fields statement. It brings things into string variables always. pic statements like this are used as text masks to get properly formatted data. this one is the only one I've found that is failing. I think I just need to change it ...
