I'd be fine with it if I can only get my little stock ticker app to run under Wine. I plan on keeping Windows 7 to run all my music and video recording software, along with Dataflex, and anything...
Thanks Mike. I'm planning on getting one of those 850 EVO SSD drives sometime today and will be setting it up to dual boot. My plan is to take Windows 7 offline and only use Xubuntu Linux for any...
Thanks Chuck. The app I want to run is pretty basic, and not using any deep rooted Windows functions, so I'm hoping it will fly without having to jump through too many hoops. I just want to be able...
Thanks for the reply Stephen. I only want to do this for my own personal stock ticker app, which uses a few grids and scrapes data, so official support wouldn't be a problem since I wouldn't be...
I've about had it with Windows, and am considering making my machine a dual boot Xubuntu/Win7 from an SSD. If I do this, I'll have it set for Xubuntu to be the default OS, but I have a stock ticker...
The menubar is pretty much stock, although I removed some things like Navigate, Window, and Help to reduce the width since this is a stock ticker on the side of the screen.
The other thing I did...
Yeah, it uses the standard Dataflex menu with several views for the interface. I hooked into the menu system so that just before the Send Activate to a view, it first does a "Set GuiSize of oMain"...
Is it possible to have a view dictate the size of "Object oMain Panel"?
I've built a stock ticker for kicks that is vertical and lives on the left side of my screen. I allow all views the ability...
The parameters are -s -a which means (S)ort (A)ll. The sort utility DFSort relies on the 16 bit DOS extender and won't run on a 64 bit version of Windows.
Outfile became Direct_Output.
That said, if you don't specify a device to do a Direct_Output to, then the runtime will select one of two devices. DFRun (the DOS runtime) will output to LST:,...
And even if you are polished up on your Python and C#, don't take any musical instruments with you because the "Fish & Wood Pleece" might just destroy them! There are numerous real accounts of...

I've always thought the included native bitmap container that only likes .bmp files and renders them with massive amounts of artifacts if they are scaled makes Dataflex look like an...
If your app is already compiled and runs under DF31C, all you need to do is use DFRunCon.exe instead of DFRun.exe DFRunCon is a 32 bit executable and will run fine on 64 bit versions of Windows,...
I did a lot of programming for Zebra printers in console mode, and if they print the code you send them, they are usually not in "Line Mode". I always used "Write" and "Writeln", so I could write...
I used to use what used to be a free DOS utility called "Print32.exe" with DF31C. Don't know if it's still around, but the file "Print.exe" comes installed with Windows, which might do pretty much...
Here's some code from this forum that was posted way back when. It uses the "FindWindowA" function from user32.dll of Windows. Replace all occurrences of "MyApp" with your app's name, and put some...
Sure enough, using the Windows clipboard solves the issue. Simple as this, and the form still has a currency mask so it is formatted properly. The fkCalc.pkg uses a procedure so the code on each...
The issue I was seeing when using a currency or numeric mask was with the decimal point. If I used a string variable and no mask, I could read the value from the form object into the string...
Veddy cool. Thanks Michael.
I see it has a "Close & Paste" button since it is a prompt object, but the guts of the code should give me a good idea how I might go about coding my own keypad that...
I've stripped it back to a single window, so I can see what exactly it would take to just have a single window with a ten key pad (plus a decimal key) of buttons below it, where the buttons can be...
I tried it, but it seemed to have no effect. My entry form is set as a currency window with a currency mask, and the moment I click a button 0.00 in the window becomes blank. I get the exact same...
Preventing the focus from changing sounds like the ticket. That's the exact behavior I was expecting when I started playing with adding a ten key pad to my test app. Will I still have to program...
I'm real familiar with character mode and character mode oops, but have only dabbled with the visual stuff.
I started down the path of making a simple calculator that I could enter an amount I had...
One thing that might be going on is if you use DFRUN the default output device will be "LST:" which is equal to the old DOS "PRN:". If you use DFRUNCON the default output device will be "WINLST:"...
I've seen behavior like this before with DF31C, and it's usually a corrupt .dfr file that causes it.
