Using Font Awesome & "Only TrueType fonts are supported. This is not a TrueType font"

Rob Schapendonk
 

Hi,

 

I played with Font Awesome 5.4.1 yesterday and noticed that all the OTF files are NOT TrueType fonts.

 

XPA checker gives the following warning:

WP0115: 'Only TrueType fonts are supported. Non-TrueType fonts will be converted to a system default font.'

 

But everything works fine, so WHY does XPA give this warning ??

 

Seems to be related with .NET Windows Forms.

 

Has somebody experienced this “Non-TrueType fonts will be converted to a system default font” on Windows 10 ?

 

Best regards,

Rob

Hi Adam,

Calling the magic program via href that is the only option you have, if not using the soap request.

as you are building the URL you can easily build whatever parameters you want to pass hidden from the user in the email and call your magic program to do the update.

You are on the right track.

Hi Darren,


Instead of updating the Virtual in the Record Prefix, you could use an Init Expression on it. Just make sure that the Select Virtual is placed somewhere BEFORE the Select Real column that is used in the Init Expression, otherwise it will be re-evaluated after you update the Real.

I understand, but my point is they have exactly the same order properties.

Re: Calling xpa web service

Jackson, Adam
 

Maybe I’m causing the confusion by calling what I want to do a “web service”? What I want to do is call a xpa program using a URL embedded in a hyperlink. Not sure if that constitutes a web service or not?

 

I was hoping I could do something like http://myserver:6060/application=myWS&program=ClosePO&PO=123456&po_Line=1 Is this possible?

 

At present I am closing order lines down but I also want similar simple solution to run other simple update programs

Hi Adam,

In theory you can create a SOAP request from html, you'll however need some javascript and therfore it wont work in practice. Email clients either do not support script at all or have it disabled by default, for security reasons.

You can however send your clients an email with some details about the order and put a hyperlink there which has a (secure) confirmation code as a parameter. That Hyperlink would point to a Magic program running on your server which would then close the order.

Andreas

Re: Record Prefix Behavior #ria

Darren,

 

Not sure if I understand this correctly, so I’ll outline how Magic’s engine cycle basically works (and has since DOS)

 

In an Online task (not covering a Batch task here which is slightly different)

 

  1. Before Task Prefix
    1. Magic Passes in Parameters to the task
    2. Magic opens all tables defined as Main Source, Links, and Declares (could be controlled by passed in parameters
  2. Task Prefix takes place
    1. Instructions in Task Prefix execute
  3. Any defined sort takes place
    1. Using passed in parameters, values set in Task Prefix, Ranges in Dataview and/or Task Range Expression
  4. Before Record Prefix
    1. Magic re-retrieves the first/next record in the dataview (after any sort takes place) based on any locate specified or the first row retrieved based on the ranges and updates all real variables from the data retrieved
    2. Virtuals are initialized based on any init expression
    3. Links compute based on any data retrieved/inited
  5. Record Prefix takes place
    1. Statements are executed top to bottom
    2. Links recompute based on values changed in Record Prefix IF those variables (real or virtual) are selected AFTER the variable that’s changed (not before)
  6. Record Main (The Dataview) section is executed based on user movement through it
    1. Changes made by a user or the program (CallProg, user functions) do not re-execute operations in record prefix.
  7. Record Suffix Occurs if
    1. User changes values in the task
    2. Value is passed back from a called subtask or program (like a zoom, event, etc.)
    3. The task is defined as a Select Task
    4. Force Record Suffix is set
  8. If Record Suffix Occurs
    1. Statements are executed top to bottom
    2. Links recompute just like Record Prefix
    3. After all statements are executed, the Record(s) are written back to the table
    4. If “Force Record Delete” is true, the record suffix is executed again in “Delete” Mode which executes only statements in Record Suffix that are marked with the expression Stat(0,’D’Mode), and then deletes the current Main Source Record
  9. Return to Step 4 and repeat until user exits or the Task End Expression is true
    1. Virtual variables that are Not Inited (have an Init expression) will retain the value they had from the prior record, so they are carried forward

 

So the above is long winded but important. It’s late so I may have missed something (there is more detail but I don’t think it’s relevant here). If so, I’ll go find my diagram and attach it (later) 😊

 

Hope this clears up why your program is doing what its doing. Again, this logic has not changed since about Magic version 5.x.

Hi Guys

So I've migrated a UnipaaS 1.9 project to Magic XPA 3.3

What I've noticed is the record prefix behavior.

In UniPaaS, I have virtual variables updated in the record prefix by a value in main source because task has a main source and only 1 record is being modified and form has no table, when I modified a value in the main source that used to update the virtual variable in the record prefix and submit the form and the virtual variable values are still retained.

However, in Magic XPA , when I submit the form it seems like it goes to record prefix again and update those virtual variable with the modification I did in the main source.

double checked ctrl+P and it was all the same.

 

Best Regards,

Darren

That is exactly how mine is setup. It worked in previous versions, but it flashes in v3.3. The Activity Monitor shows the progress program repeatedly opening and closing although it is set as Resident.

This application has a batch program processing records for a report. In its RS, it calls another batch program to display a progress bar. In older versions of Magic it worked smoothly; however, in v3.3, the progress bar program closes after being called resulting in the screen flashing each time. The progress bar program is set as a Resident task with Close Window = No. What else is required to keep it on the parent program's display?

Hi Peter,

Result of a quick google search is f.i. following: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/aee0a207-4df3-48f3-87ff-4018f212bcfe/otfgtwhy-it-can-be-used-in-windows-8-but-can-not-be-used-in-windows-7?forum=csharpgeneral

It seems that Windows Forms applications which do use GDI+ (since Windows 7) have issues with OTF fonts. In Windows 8 GDI+ saw an update and it has less issues since then. So you have the options to use Windows 8 or later or Windows XP (With GDI OTF fonts work just fine)
