One PowerBuilder app triggering an event on another PowerBuilder app's Frame
Running 2 concurrent PowerBuilder apps (both MDI). Is there a way to trigger a user event on the frame of one of the apps from the other? I can get a handle to the frame window, and I am guessing that a Send() of some kind would do the trick, but I don't know which parameters to use or where the parameters for the Send() are documented. Thanks for the help. I recently had the same situation. You can use send or post to send a message to a window in another application. First you need the handle of the window you are sending the message to. Since it is in another applica...

Determining if an app is a web app or a windows app
Hi all,  I'm writing a generic utilites class and one of the methods needs to get the physical path of the application. I know Server.MapPath("~") gets the server path of the app for windows and also that Application.ExecutablePath gets the path for windows app. Now how would i determine which app is a windows app or a web app?   Thanks in advance. add a reference to system.web and then do the following  if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current == null)            {       &...

Accessing PowerBuilder from another app
I have a windows application (Oracle forms 4) from which I would like to link to a PowerBuilder app, get to a certain screen, and pass certain data through as arguments. The bit which I need help with is the linking to PB and passing data. Could anyone point me in the right direction? How do I call specific windows? Thanks, Tracy Nick, You can use Windows messages for that. You need to map a user event on the target PB window to an event in the range of pbm_custom01 to pbm_custom75. These events have 2 fixed parameters, wparam (ulong) and lparam (long) which you can use...

EAServer App using Powerbuilder
Hi, I am a PB client/server developer having a good understanding of client/server design issues. But when it comes to WEB app, I am not having a good understanding of underlining concepts. like How people do authentication in WEB(in Client server we do this by making connection to Database, but in web app this does not looks practical. A web app should use some chched conections to databasewhich every user connection should use) I would really appreciate if some one could guide me where I could find a sample application (kind of getting started using EA Server and PB not...

Deploying an app that uses PowerBuilder.Application

All works fine on my development machine, but I can't seem to figure out how to deploy my application so this function will work. Anyone know what steps I get this to work on a deployed application?

Creating a dll in Powerbuilder for use by other apps???
Does anyone know how or if it is even possible to create a dll from Powerbuilder 6.5 code for use by other apps? No, you can't. You would need to use a MSVC++ or some other C/C++ IDE. steve [TeamPS] fdefranco wrote: > > Does anyone know how or if it is even possible to create a dll from > Powerbuilder 6.5 code for use by other apps? PB DLL's are not usable as DLL's in other applications. You can, however, create COM and OLE objects that can be used in other applications. Why would you want to do this though? regards, Bill Green fdefranco wrote...

Using Verisign to Sign a PowerBuilder App
I've got a code signing need for PowerBuilder 8 application. I sign the application exe according to the directions with signcode.exe and I test the signing with chktrust.exe and it comes back with succeeded.

call a second instance ofa powerbuilder app from within first app
Hi , I want to open a second powerbuilder application from within my application (I am in NVO) and get a handle for it so that I can open a window. Then close the first app. Can I simply use a run command.... Thanks, Alon Baadani You won't be able to just execute an Open() against another instance of an app. You might want to look at making your app DDE aware, then sending your second instance a DDE command that will tell it to open the window itself.

incorporating help into a powerbuilder app using RoboHelp
Hey Y'all: We just got EHelp's RoboHelp 2002 r2 and we're going to be using it to incorporate into our PowerBuilder development. I've got 8.02 build 9626 with Oracle 9i. I see there's the showhelp and showpopuphelp commands but on the showhelp it only looks for compiled help (.cnt) and HTML Help (.chm). Can we not use RoboHelp's Webhelp for our app (it generates .htm files)? We were hoping to use WebHelp since you can set section 508 compliance here but not in the HTML Help. It's also not feasible to use win32 api - I'm the only one who understa...

How to use a web user control from one web app in another web app?
I have a production web app project (at work) that has custom web user controls in it.I have another web app project for experimenting and I want to use some web controls from the production web app. The big trick is that I need to load the controls dynamically.LoadControl() doesn't seem to work - it complains about loading controls from a different application. I also tried adding a project reference to the production web app and using "UC1 newUC = new UC1();" and then "this.Controls.Add(newUC);", but the controls (like TextBoxes) on the web user control don't seem to exist on the new UC1s....
