This is definitely possible!

You need to have something like this in the $construct:

enter data
if flag true
; user has clicked OK
else
; user has clicked cancel
end if
do $cwind().$close
quit method <some result>

You should have an OK button with the $buttonmode set to kBMok, and a cancel button with the $buttonmode set to kBMcancel

Hi Coralie

We hit the same issue. You need to remove the subform set when you’re done. We have a “done” button on the subform set, so when the user clicks the button it calls this:

Do $ctask.trSubForm.$RemoveSFS()

In the main form that created the subform, we have this method: $RemoveSFS() which does this:

; Remove the subform from the…[Read more]

You need to do the following (assuming Studio 8.0 or higher):
Do $cdevice.$assign(kDevOmnisPDF) ;; Switch to the Omnis PDF device.
Calculate $prefs.$reportfile as ‘full path to PDF file’ ;; Omnis PDF uses the $prefs.$reportfile to determine where to write the PDF.
Print report

We’re looking at the Studio 10 DML to SQL stuff, but there still seems to be a few issues. We’re working with tech support to get them resolved because we still have a few DML based clients that we’d like to get to PostgreSQL.

We’re looking at this for a jsClient project we’re doing for a client. I’m fairly sure it’s similar to the thick client.

Hi Everyone,

A quick update:

We’ve been able to get it working, using a HTTP Worker object, and a command line call to openSSL. There’s an Authorisation header that contains the URL of the request and a number of other fields. This is then signed using RSA-SHA1 and sent as part of the request.

This is our two lines of code that do the…[Read more]

Here’s another one:

There’s a problem with TCPPing on Studio 5.2, Mac OS Sierra and above – it always returns an error. I’ve created a workaround, and posted the code on GitHub.

NOTE: you don’t need to do this for Studio 8.0 and above, or for Windows/Linux, or for Mac OS before 10.12 (Sierra).

Here’s the link on Github:…[Read more]

Awesome!

Hi $All,

Here’s another one:

From the ReadMe:
ListIntersect

Omnis Lists are powerful constructs that allow us to manipulate data in memory. A common operation is selecting lines in the list, often based on another list. A fairly simple way to do this would be to have two nested loop…[Read more]

Hi $All

We’ve created a Github repository for a JSON parser written for Studio 5. Where’s the best place to announce it?

https://github.com/graemereid/JSON_for_Studio5

From the ReadMe:

JSON_for_Studio5

This library contains an Object class (oJSON) that is intended as a substitute for the built-in OJSON found in Studio 8. It arose from the…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback Alex – we’ll do that!

Hi $All,

We’ve written some code that mirrors the oJSON object in Studio 8, for use in our Studio 5 systems. We believe that this is something that other developers who aren’t using the latest and greatest may find useful.

It seems that the logical place to put this code is on GitHub, but the first pre-requisite is that you must be using Studio…[Read more]

I figured out the problem – showpdf() doesn’t work if you have “block popups” enabled on your browser.

Hi Das!
Good to hear from you. Hope all is well with you. In answer to your questions:

1. Yes. While code can be executed on the jsClient, you can also execute code on the Omnis server that the jsClient is connected to.

2. Yes. It’s not the preferred setup – Code Classes are considered to be “not good Object-Oriented design”. That being…[Read more]

Good work Alex! We’re looking at what we can share from our own codebase that other developers would find useful. Hopefully we can put up a few things!

We are working on a jsClient-based app, and we setup a popup menu with a custom “hamburger” icon. When the device is sized for iPhone, we make the popup menu visible, otherwise we use a button bar for all other sizes.
