Paradox Forms Topic

A couple of months ago we have started having issues with printerSetCurrent causing Paradox to hang. When this happens I have been telling my user base to reboot and then try again. Printing works for awhile, then it will hang up again. Has anyone else run into this? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Gary

Anyone know how to programatically show/hide columns in a table frame control?    Mind you,  I am not talking about the tableview object. Thanks!!!

Hi, I have a form where I would like to have a Graphic field displayed. The table has 2 fields 1 of which is the graphic field. I have tried to Paste the graphic into this field but nothing is saved. I use another table where graphics are saved and used on the same form with no problem. Is there a limitation on BMP size or any other specification which needs to be ahered to? Cheers Bill

I recently converted an app from 7.5 to paradox 11 and I am finding when entering Memo fields  with @ and . in them automatically do a mail.sendDLG() opening a new email message with the contents of the memo field as the TO: field. Does anyone know how to control this? Thanks

I have a search firld on a form which works fine except I need to change all characters to upper case. This is the code. It used to work but something has changed. var, pn string, endvar doDefault pn = self.value, pn = pn.upper() PTMPTNO.setRange( pn, pn+"z" ) Cheers

Is it possible not to have to press F9 to start editing fields on a form? The form I am working on ties the fields to a Paradox db table.

I would like to print the current form from a button. This can be done in objectPal by performing postaction(DataPrint) or action(DataPrint) When the postaction(or action) is performed, the printer dialog box pops up. I would like to perform this print action without the user having to click the Print button on the printer dialog box. I have tried using sendKeys with different options. Do you know of a way to print a form without any further using interaction other than clicking the button I have added on the form? Thanks

I read a short article that says in order to not see the desktop, and only my forms, I need to use app.hide() The problem is that when I try it, I get syntax errors.  I've searched through the boards and through the ObjectPal guide that I have, but I have not been able to find out exactly how to do this (what code and where) I also cannot seem to find where in the Object Explorer it is indicated whether a form is a child or a dialog.  I know this seems simple, but its very frustrating.  Thank you for your help.

Our entire user base is running 11.0.0.676 on Windows 10. I believe this is the latest version of Paradox. Today, there is 1 user whose Paradox app is hanging when executing  the command printerSetCurrent. Rebooting does not correct the issue. code snippet: stPrnName = "Win2PDF" if printerSetCurrent(stPrnInfo) then ; THIS LINE HANGS,      setRegistryValue("Software\\Dane Prairie Systems\\Win2PDF", "PDFFileName", pathstring , regKeyCurrentUser),      setRegistryValue("Software\\Dane Prairie Systems\\Win2PDF", "file options", 2, regKeyCurrentUser),      setRegistryValue("Software\\Dane Prairie Systems\\Win2PDF", "persistent", "0", regKeyCurrentUser), else,      errorShow("Failed to make Win2PDF the current printer"), endIf Has anyone run into similar issues with printerSetCurrent? Thanks, Gary

I need to create a query using the QBE that will list all records from table A not in table B. (A not-in query), , Thanks

I am absolutely brand new to programming in Paradox. I want to make a Main form. For ease of discussion, I just want to create a form which I have done that has one button. I want it to opne a form I already have linked to a table. I get a syntax error. I cannot find any build as you go coder. I have this and it gives me a syntax error: method action(var eventInfo ActionEvent), open("TestReview Form"), endMethod The form is in the same working folder as this Main form. Does anyone know what the syntax is to simply open a form? No parms passed, just open the form in data entry mode.

Hi guys, In my form i inserted a graphic object. But when i right click and use the paste from graphic file and selected any graphic file it say, "Disk error occurred while reading file." "Error occurred while reading graphic file." Have you encountered the same error ? Any idea how to resolve this?, , Thank you in advance for your help., , -yuz

Mike, Re your "Implementing a Reusable Progress Bar in Paradox" form for download. I have downloaded it but am unable to open it. Paradox suggests that the form may be corrupt. Can you check please.

Inexperienced user here.  Self-taught, and smart enough to know that I don't know much. Paradox 10 running on Windows 10 I spent weeks developing a paradox form and application for a project I'm doing, then the form simply stopped loading. So I did it all again, spending weeks again. Then it stopped loading again. I can open all other forms in the same project, all tables, and all datamodels.  The form in question worked fine when I had it open last, designing and testing it.  Now it won't load.  All I get is the timer circle spinning, and it won't stop until I go to Task Manager and shut Paradox down.  No error message at all.

I have never found just the right combination of events for the following situation. In the following argument..... "C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox\Programs\pdxwin32.exe" -c -q -pE:\OutsourceWork\V11\priv -wE:\OutsourceWork\V11 _stub.fsl Paradox will launch and display the _stub.fsl   form (no problem) When the form opens I want specific code to run AFTER the form is fully displayed. Two question 1.  How do I WAIT until the form is fully displayed 2. What event should I put the code in? My current problem is that there are 5-10 function calls that take place, each displaying results in a list on the screen.  And regardless of how many SLEEP() I put in the thing it will not display the form until about  halfway through the code execution. Sometimes only flickering onto the screen briefly before closing. Many thanks!

I am working with a PDX8 program which uses Wahl2Wahl's table lookups which work very well. The table lookups do not function correctly on PDX10, the up/down arrows and tab do not work. I am trying to create something similar and combining  set range and locate pattern. I can get either to work but not together. Is there a way to code in such a way that the setRange is the default but the user can also type .. to enable the locate pattern logic? method keyPhysical(var eventInfo KeyEvent), , Var,   s  string, endVar,     doDefault,  ,      s = self.value,      ,      ;PART.setRange( self.value, self.value+"zzz" ),    ,       ignoreCaseInStringCompares(yes),       advancedWildcardsInLocate(Yes) ,       PART.locatePattern("DESC",s),   , endmethod Thanks.
