PostURL/GetURL ?
Hi, Using PB v9.0.1 Build 7171 The problem: I'd need to access data available on a web server. Therefore, I have a name and password to log-in, in return I would get a key which can then be used to access data which is returned through XML. The information is also accessible through a web browser if there's no external application but I would like to make it available through my application. I had a look at the PostURL command to start with. The examples I found only seem to show a part of all the definitions that need to be done. I'm new to this, never played ...

What generals generally do
Reading a McChrystal thread elsewhere, I came across someone quoting a US general http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley_Butler > I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and > during that period I spent most of my time as a high class thug for > Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a > racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and > especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped > make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to > collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central > American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify > Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in > 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American > sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the > American fruit companies in 1903.

PostURL / GetURL have errors
I am using PB 10.2 enterprise and the post and get url both work in the development environment. When I try to run the deployed app on my development machine the post url gives a -6 error and the get url has a -1 error. I can run the deployed app on other machines without any error, but on other machines I also get the errors. My development machine is Win XP SP2. There must be a problem with the deployed app on the development machine not seeing a DLL or OCX , but I do not know which one. Does anyone know what is going on and how to resolve this? thanx ...

Powerbuilder 9 and GetURL()
Hi, I am using Powerbuilder 9.0.3. I am trying to post an XML string with the method "GetURL()". It works find if the XML is short. However, if the XML is in the following string, the method hangs.

dynamic pages and GetURL(), PostURL()
When I?m trying to GET/POST a dynamic page (search results, etc) with GetURL() or PostURL() I get only the first part of the HTML document. How I can get the entire HTML document? Thanks! I'm having the same trouble. The documentation seems to imply that the result gets put into the ir_msgbox after the async call is complete. But where is the rest of the html? I've been trying some workarounds. I can use the OLE MS IE control to display the URL just fine. I am assuming that if I can display the webpage right on my screen then the complete HTML must be nearby. I...

powersoft.public.powerbuilder.general
Can someone help me please. I am using PB7 Build 8033 and Excel 97 SR1 I have a spreadsheet which has 1 chart "graph", and 2 sheets "Model" and "Calculations". There are also 7 macros in module 1. I am trying to use OLE Automation to link to the spreadsheet, I need to populate some cells, run some macros and retreive some cells. I can get excel and the spreadsheet to open in automation mode, I can retreive and populate individual cell value, and I can successfully close and disconnect from excel and the spreadsheet. My problem is that I cannot successfully access the macros. The code below is what I am using. When the spreadsheet is run on its own, the macros work fine, all the calculations are ok. No problems at all. When I try to use automation, the macros are accessed and errors occur. The errors are type mismatch when trying to collect a date into a variable. ( all var decs ok and spreadsheet values are of correct format.) In debug mode on this line error 2026 was noted. I am using the workbooks.open method , (it works the same with workbooks.add) as seen below, I was wondering if i need to open other sheets or modules somehow, or do I need to open the spreadsheet using other commands. If I open the spreadsheet using Run( "excel.exe" "c:\test.xls") and then access the macros using myoleobject.application.Run("test.xls!update_model"), the macros run fine, but unfortunately this...

Modify Expression Editor
How about improving on the Modify Expression Editor a bit? We have some quite complicated expressions, and the tiny little MLE control that PB uses to allow us to edit expression is very clumsy (and yes, I do realize about the elipse to bring up the modal Modify Expression window - which contains an only slight less tiny MLE for editing the Expression). Not to mention that embedded Returns in the expression can cause the computed field to behave funny. How about a real editor, complete with color markups, support for indentation and carrage returns, AutoScript even! Oooh,...

Powerbuilder general function to open setfocus and set filter on...
I have a problem conserning wherever in the application when someone registers an alert for later handling this function is to register the entire object path to where he registered that alert. (I am using PowerBuilder 6.5). Then im to retrieve the entire path for the followin things: column. datawindow tab window Are there any functions to do this in PFC, im sorry for posting this here, but i cannot find much in the documentation, btw another question, do you know of any good links to better documentation for PFC than what follows PowerBuilder? Thanks in advance. Klaus Myrseth System Developer Information Highway AS Firstly, I am unable to guess the business requirement for this. Instead lemme answer your question: To get the current column reference with the datawindow name, use : Use GetFocus() in combination with IsValid to get the name of the datawindow that has the focus. Use this in combination with the GetcolumnName() function to get the columnname. Use a series of GetParent() functions combined with TypeOf to obtain references to the parent chain. This iterative process will end when the TypeOf() returns Window!. Build all this into a string or as a powerobject (in this case you should omit the current column name and store it seperately) Hope this helps Regarding a better reference for PFC, search in Amazon.com for PFC or PowerBuilder. You could also look at PFC guide: http://www.pfcguide.com or the PFC cheat she...
