Appreciate all that info Paul, unfortunately the copying from the firstruninstall folder to the AppData with no notification is a bit of a sticking point. We’ve always tried to make it easy for almost any user to install our application. Many times people will install without the help of an IT professional, even with one the process is pretty…[Read more]

Thanks Paul, I appreciate you explaining your process, so every windows users on a the workstation your omnis app copies the entire contents of AppData/Local from the server?
May I also ask which version of $O you are using?

Hi Paul,
That’s great I’m interested to hear more about how you implement this server that from what I understand copies files to other user profiles. Our case is a bit different. We allow our clients to download our application install it on their workstation this workstation connects to our cloud servers “database servers”. So we don’t install…[Read more]

Remember returning 0 means the file did not write. It will return true if sorry i should have wrote that better in my code it’s not lError should be lOK to be more clear.

First we wabt to make sure the lritorno variable is in fact a string since you are using writecharacter instead of $writeentirefile.
If that is the case break it before
Do…[Read more]

I believe you have to do something like this to write the file (create, open, write, close).

Do lFileOps.$createfile(lDir_1)
Do lFileOps.$openfile(lDir_1,kFalse)
Do FileOps.$writeentirefile(lDir_1,xtextbin) Returns lError
Do lFileOps.$closefile()

For binary files I believe you can do writing in one step using the WriteBinFile…[Read more]

Hey,
If you don’t need the remote debug at all you can simply delete the remotedebug.lbs file. If you do need it, then add a line of code in the startup either “Remove menu” and whatever that menu is called or “Remove all menus” before you add any menus should work as well.

Cheers!

Sorry missed this interesting tutorial, however I don’t speak Italian. Do you have one in English?

Yea it would be a good feature thanks for the reply.

I checked the documentation and it looks like the syntax has changed slightly.
I ran this code in omnis 10 with not issues.

Begin text block
Text:tell application “Finder”(Carriage return)
Text:display dialog “Hello World”(Carriage return)
Text:end tell(Carriage return)
End text block
Get text block lScript
Do $root.$runapplescript(lScript,lRet,lErr)

It really depends on what you are using these commands for example if need to receive apple events then you should test to make sure it working. For example if you use an apple script to open or quit omnis you should test this script in omnis 8 to make sure it’s still working. I believe all of these commands have to do with apple scripting so it’s…[Read more]

Sorry for the delay, for some reason I wasn’t getting notified on this thread. Yes I can type on Mac in omnis 10.
The plaform says windows because there are no DLLs on Mac, but you should be able to still type it. It would be odd if they took it out of Omnis 8 and put it back in Omnis 10.

That is strange maybe, it was left out of Omnis 8. Like I said we are going from Omnis 4.3.2.1 to Omnis 10 and we have those commands all over the place and they all seem to work. It’s even in the help documentation in the app. What happens when you try to type in the commands? Do they come up?

It’s still in the documentation online so it’s still…[Read more]

Hey Gianni,

It seems that it is still supported. Where are you seeing that it is not supported? The commands are still implemented in Omnis 10. I also still see this technote on the website.
https://developer.omnis.net/technotes/tnno0006.jsp

We are currently migrating to omnis 10 and use this command in many places so hopefully it still works…[Read more]

Hi Stefano,
Sorry I missed your reply. Yes we do use oWrite. It’s great tool for somethings. I’ve noticed some issues in our version of Omnis 4.3.2.1 rendering the rich text data. I’m curious if you have any examples of how the owrite tool can be used for this type of custom report writing.

Thanks Alex, I’ll have a look. I appreciate your help with this!

Thanks Andreas, yes that’s possible. I was really looking for a way to allow users with less technical skills to be able to able to put together a report in a more simplistic manner so that less training is required. I’d also like to take advantage of some more modern looking graphics if possible. If I have to, I can rewrite it from scratch, but…[Read more]
