Registryget function returning different value in PB 7 vs. PB 9
Heres the deal. We have an application that gets installed via InstallShield. It does a lot of stuff. One of the things it does is adds a couple of registry values. When I run the PB 7 code thru the debugger, the following code returns a 1 and life is good. RegistryGet ( "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\ALL_HOMES", "LAST_HOME", RegString!, ls_idx) BUT, when I run the same code thru the debugger in PB 9 it returns -1...life is not good. Why? Thanks! -KElly

I run the same code in PB7 and PB9 and everything works as expected. What happens when you run without the debugger? Is the code that accesses the registry being posted or triggered? Which version and build of PB9 do you have? steve [TeamSybase] > Heres the deal. We have an application that gets > installed via InstallShield. It does a lot of stuff.

Well the funny thing is the return code is never checked so I don't think it is a big issue as far as our application goes...but I am not sure why the return code would be -1 in PB 9 and 1 in PB 7... So, since the return codes is never validated, the application runs without any problems...I was just watching thru the debugger what happens when this line of code was executed in PB 9 and noticed it was returning -1. I hate to say this but how do I know if the code that accesses the registry is being posted or triggered?

According to the help file "An error is returned if the datatype of valuevariable does not correspond to the datatype specified in valuetype." In that same vein, is it possible that RegString! is the wrong type and the type should really be RegInt! or something else? To tell if the event was posted or triggered, you'd have to look at where the event was fired. There is no inherent way of telling at runtime from the script itself. I was just thinking that if it were posted, maybe something wacky was going on.... If it's any consolation, I didn't see any known issues regarding RegistryGet in PB9.

PB 7 vs PB 6 & PB 5
We have a large application, compiled with PB 5.04, running at about 20 client sites. Generally speaking, if a PB 5.04 app is compiled with PB 7, what changes can the developer expect in app performance and memory usage? Thank you, st I'm assuming that 5.04 app is a 16 bit app. With PB7, you're going to be compiling 32bit apps. There are issues associated with that (I don't know if you are calling 16 bit functions or not). The files will generally be much larger.

Different SetFocus() behaviour PB 10.5.1 vs PB 9.
Hi all. I've noticed a small difference in behaviour in the SetFocus() function in PB 10.5.1 compared to PB 9: Our application has a logon window for users to sign in. There are singlelineedit controls on the window for them to type in userid and password. In the open() event of the logon window, a SetFocus() is called for the userid sle (sle_user_id.SetFocus()). In PB 9, the userid field would get focus and a blinking cursor would appear but in PB 10.5.1, the blinking cursor does not show up even though the field does have focus. Has anyone seen something like this? ...

pbm_keydown different in PB 9 and PB 11
We have a PB 9 application that mapped an event (in datawindow) to pbm_keydown. In there code checked for the Enter key and overrode the behaviour (added a line break - mimic Ctrl + Enter). This worked fine. In PB 11.1, this event doesn't even seem to be fired (according to debugger). Is this a known change in behaviour? It seems to work if we change the event to map to pbm_dwnkey.

PB 7 + PFC + Cornerstone to PB 9
I just inherited the support for an application which was written with PowerBuilder 7.0.3 with Cornerstone 7.

What I'd like to know is how different is the PFC from 7 to 9 and could we get away with just keeping the existing framework and still have full fuctionality of our applicati...

ODBC and Informix 7 on PB 7 returns 0 for integer values
Hi, This is driving me crazy and I am hoping someone can help. I am connecting to Informix 7 from PB 7 and when I retrieve values of a numeric type, I get a 0 instead of the actual value. I checked against the database to make sure the value is there( it is ) and then tried to retrieve the values from WinSQL( it retrieved correctly ). So the problem seems to be isolated to ODBC and Informix. I actually inserted the values from PB so I know that part works, its just retieving the values.
