From the help on module_name:



Application_name doesn't appear to be defined, nor is it in the help, though there are references to ApplicationName in the Web Classes.

we established that sometimes it allows duplicates so I'm not sure there isn't more to this.

very good idea, though we have MANY instances of users working at another terminal and using the login from the one they are normally at.


StackOverflow has suggestions, as usual

I don't know enough about this to argue, but this (multiple sessions with independent copies of the menu and other programs) has worked for at least a year.

hmmm.

In that case, any idea how I...

Here's a fun one.

We have code in almost all of our programs to stop multiple copies running. However on remote desktop clients we get false positives with our menu program.


Get fIsDeveloper...

maybe connected? I've found Get Rowvalue more reliable than get SelectedRowValue when I want to base an action, like setting a colour, on other columns. 20.0

If I can find it. I redid all the offending bitmaps with GIMP then MS Paint to reduce bitiness so I worked around it.

Some paint maker has done this in the past, but a quick Google only found Benjamin Moore's Purple Haze.

AFAI am concerned you can take any of the options, as long as I can use Version_Information to get the, y'know, Runtime Version information. :cool:

20.0.8 is the logically-obvious designation but...

Get piVersionMajor of hoVersionInfo to iMajor
Get piVersionMinor of hoVersionInfo to iMinor
Get piVersionRelease of hoVersionInfo to iRelease
...

the answer is either

1. Make Build a number, not an integer
or
2. Bump iBuild when its a public release - which looks to be what the Version_Information command thinks happens (and seems...

20.0.7.156 is nowhere to be found amongst that.



Move ("Dataflex" * String(pkg_Version) -"."- String(pkg_Revision) - "." - String(pkg_Build)) to sReturn
Move ("Dataflex" * String(FMAC_Version)...

You mean extract from this? Rather more than the Help example?

Andre,

I had switched to LogonUserW and wStrings already. This all works with LogonUserA under 19.1, but GetLastError() still returns 0 as described. Back burner for now, if the user/pwd is valid...

I've always shown the current runtime version on the menu screen, and with our current rollout of 20.0.7.156 I was thinking to display a 'you need to be updated' message wherever the latest and...

very slick, and I learned a new word... :cool:

simple solutions are the best! works very well, thank you.

your description info is in twice btw.

No issues whatsoever with that. I do think there is some mileage though in treating these sub-point-level releases with separate paths and registry entries. Makes side-by-side testing easier.

it has a later date than the original, as does the driver in 20.1. Have to say I haven't dug in very far.

Thanks Dennis, never saw that before.

For whatever reason I never expect context menus (now I'll wear out my new mouse's right button)

edit: I'll be using the copy to clipboard option, too.

Understood, but with the strong suggestion from DAW that we update I wanted to see if anything obvious broke.

However I'm not sure DAW can avoid testing 'minor' updates for compatibility. If that...
