[BR_forum] Using a window in GUI OFF to "Protect the Wi

Post by GomezL »

OPEN #MODIFY_INVOICE_PROTECT_IOWIN:=109:"SCOL=1,srow=1,cols=80,rows=24",DISPLAY,OUTIN !:
PRINT NEWPAGE

It’s been a while since I used this technology!

I wrote a new routine that opens windows properly, but when I turned GUI OFF, the windows started mixing!

I found it amusing because when the behavior changed from GUI OFF to GUI ON, it caused a lot of problems for me, and I was amused that I had to do it again.

Did you have forced visibility turned on when you were getting the bleed through? Or did this happen regardless of the forced visibility state?

Essentially I have a program that uses “Parent=NONE” to have a “Separate Window”, and when you select an item, screen #0 displays the detailed information.

The selection window works great, and when I modify the record, again it works properly. This is because each window has been assigned a proper handle.

IN GUI OFF, all of that falls apart, it really doesn’t matter which window I print to, it appear on “The top”.

To get around this in GUI MODE, I clear the screen, so I don’t have to worry about “Bleed through”. Then when I close the protected handle later, the screen is restored.

I was just amused that I had to do this “Old sytle coding” in my new program.

I wish I had the foggiest idea of what this means, but I'm clueless.

The first curious thing is your window handle. Does this mean that you have a full Invoice Modification program launched and then you want to hide it by opening another window on top? What is the purpose of that? Would I ever want to do that and in what scenario?

What do you mean when you say "open windows PROPERLY"? And what does it mean when you say that the "windows started mixing"? in GUI OFF?

If it doesn't matter that I understand this, then please ignore :) But it IS intriguing!

We started using 4.2 for our in-house support application.

A few OPTION statements, and it’s been working like a champ!
