Subject: Problem with GEBTNCLICK to display a dialog
Posted: July 27 2010 at 12:58

Hi Pete - This is a label+ellipsis button in a grid column. (Sorry I didn't mention that.) The GEBTNCLICK event handler performs an ATGUISHOW of a dialog form that shows more information. My Deactivate event for the grid form does some tests and if they fail a different dialog appears. So I actually get both dialog boxes when I click the button.

I can see the argument from both sides. You are truly deactivating the grid when you show the dialog. But since the one reason for the ellipsis is to bring up a dialog, then you shouldn't deactivate. I don't know what the 2k2 behavior was since this is my first time using ellipsis.

I have solved the problem by adding a test in the deactivate event and if GUIARGS<1,1> is the ellipsis dialog I return.

Thanks, Pete, I was afraid that would be the answer.  My current way of passing data via the clipboard is not very elegant, but it works.  Maybe I'll dream of a better way some day.
 
Thanks,

Thanks, Pete, that sort of what I figured but I wasn't sure.  Would be nice if there where a more robust interface between ATGUI and VB.NET, but I know that's not the niche it's filling.  Right now I shove the data into the clipboard and my ATGUI app polls every 2 seconds to see if there's anything in the clipboard then checks for events again.]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:39:50 +0000 http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1773&PID=6268#6268 GUI Development : Fire ATGUI Event from VB.NET app http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1772&PID=6267#6267 Author: PSchellenbach

Hi Marshall -

If you have some flexibility in your VB.NET application, maybe you could use SendKeys to notify your AccuTerm GUI app that your phone system needs attention. It looks like SendKeys is available in VB.NET. Not sure how to ensure that your AccuTerm GUI app is active before issuing the SendKeys. You may be able to attach a shortcut key to a command button, then when the VB.NET app uses SendKeys, the command button in your GUI app will receive a Click event. Worth a try.

Thanks,

Pete]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:14:58 +0000 http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1772&PID=6267#6267 GUI Development : Updating statusbar panels dynamically http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1776&PID=6266#6266 Author: JTeter

If a statusbar is created with the form and includes a panel that will be updated with user ID or UniVerse account, how can that update done? ]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:11:07 +0000 http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1776&PID=6266#6266 GUI Development : Maximum GUI screen width http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1774&PID=6265#6265 Author: EKULBA

Posted: July 27 2010 at 11:09

I finally figured out how to change the width, but now I've lost both the horizontal and vertical scroll bars.  The only way to now see the extra text I've added in the last column on the right is to click on the window header and drag it to the left.

I have 11 columns going across the screen, for a total of 155, 8 size font,
characters.
 
Is there a separate control for the scroll bars ?

Hi Marshall -

I don't think you can convert the code above to use ObjectBridge. The problem is that ObjectBridge does not allow creating ActiveX Controls. Only simple Automation compatible objects are supported. Controls are much more complex and require their container to support a bunch of COM interfaces. On the other hand, you probably could create a DLL that hosts the control and exposes a simple public class to interact with the control. You could then use ObjectBridge to access your simple class. Maybe the vendor of the control has a simple object available as well?

Thanks,

Pete]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:51:49 +0000 http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1773&PID=6264#6264 GUI Development : Problem with GEBTNCLICK to display a dialog http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1775&PID=6263#6263 Author: PSchellenbach

Hi Dynamic -

This actually sounds correct. When you click on a command button, the grid loses focus and the button gains focus. This causes a Deactivate event on the grid and an Activate event on the button. In the Deactivate event handler, examine GUIARGS<1,1> to see if the command button is the control being activated and take appropriate action.

Thanks,

Pete]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:46:23 +0000 http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1775&PID=6263#6263 GUI Development : Maximum GUI screen width http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1774&PID=6262#6262 Author: dynamic

As far as I know, there are no limits. Can you provide more information? What type of form is it? Are your columns in one control (type?) or several?]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:21:33 +0000 http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1774&PID=6262#6262 GUI Development : Problem with GEBTNCLICK to display a dialog http://www.asent.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1775&PID=6261#6261 Author: dynamic

Has anyone run into this problem? I am performing an ATGUISHOW of a dialog when I have a GEBTNCLICK event. The Dialog shows fine, but I'm also getting a GEDEACTIVATE event on the original grid. I tried ATGUICLEAREVENTS(GUIAPP,"ORDER","",0,0,GUIERRORS,GUISTATE) right after the SHOW, but it did not work. "ORDER" contains the original grid. I also tried putting the grid name in the clear event too. Any ideas?
