Re: UniPaS 1.9, image refresh
sherman levine
If that doesn't work,
I've dealt with the issue by changing
the file name (e.g. A.BMP, B.BMP) each time the file is changed.
Toggling between two names is sufficient.

UniPaS 1.9, image refresh
Stephen Saxton
OK, it seems my week for questions.
I've got an image on disk, that is displayed in an online form.
Purposely, this file on the disk is overwritten when a new option is selected.
The issue I'm having, in runtime, the image on the screen is not updated
I've tried Screen Refresh, View Refresh, Record Flush
All the image files happen to have the same creation date, but different modification date (may or may not be significant)
I can see the "Main.bmp" in explorer change modification date, but the image on the screen doesn't change. Other updates appear (have a virtual that holds the name of the file that is overWriting the Main.bmp file.
I'm using an event "Click" on a virtual that gets updated with the "OverWriting" file name (and that refreshes just great).
I've also have an event "Click" on a button that does the exact same as mentioned just above.
Online Task
Initial Mode Modify
End Condition No
Evaluate Before
Resident task Yes & No (tried)
Behavior All No except Cycle on Record and Refresh Task Window are Yes
No transactions, no locking
All Allowed Modes Yes
Functionalities Yes (with normal exception of Print Data:)
Any ideas to try?

Fonts and Mobile Development XPA 3.2g
Graham White
Hi,
I am trying to get my head around the corelation of the font size and what is actually displayed on the device. We use font Microsoft Sans Serif size 8 which look fine and fields fit nicely in the studio, however, this is not the case on the device. We predominantly use iPhones and we notice quite a difference in the font size when displayed on different phone models. I would have thought if it is size 8 it should look the same regardless but his does not seem to be the case. It seems it is almost impossible to get a consistent look across models. Can anyone explain how best we can do this.
Regards
Graham White

Re: Database initialization error

Windows 10 Peer-to-Peer?
Is the Magic map placed into Program Files? Which version of Btrieve are you using? You should use Btrieve v10 or higher The Magic map needs to be on map other than Program Files Using another user other than local admin, you need Full Control on the map of Magic. I want to help, but need a little more info. BR, André

clr.dll appcrash
Frigyesi Viktória
Hi All,
Client is using magic XPA 2.5, with internal network client/server architecture. For the last few days, apps are suddenly crashing, esp. when 1+ Magic windows are open. The error message refers to clr.dll. No changes in environment, and in applications. What could be the cause, what needs to be checked? Magic helps refers to sn.exe, that the DLL is not strongly signed, but Magic applications worked for 20+ years, XPA for the last 5 ys, so I don’t think this is the case.
Error message is in Hungarian, but may help:
Any help is strongly appreciated.
Kr, Viktoria

Database initialization error

When trying to open the application with a non-administrator user, it displays a Database initialization error message, but with an administrator user, why not?

Re: UNC vs Drive letters
Stephen Saxton
Thanks Steven
I'm seeing more and more using UNC's vs Mapped drives, and I've almost always used the Mapped Drives in my previous installations. Never had an issue with them, but I can see where this might be causing some issues at this one installation. Stephen (Steve) Saxton

OK folks
I've read most of the documentation I can find about UNC vs Drive Letters.
Other than making it easier for the Network Administrator to manage; I don't see any advantage, nor can I find any "white papers" saying that speed is improved by
using UNC vs Drive letters.
Yes, if the actual drive disappears, then the Drive Letter won't find it; but if the actual drive disappears, then the UNC won't find it either.
Yes, Network administrators can put it in the login script, but a startup batch file can also be created and put into the Startup folder that does the drive letter
assignment, so again, it's easier for the Network Administrator. But what if you don't have a Network Administrator? What if you're the one setting up a peer to peer network? (which could be up to 20 PC's); one PC at a time?
It's been a while since I was a "real" network administrator, and then it was "mostly" UNIX or Lantastic (and then it was all peer to
peer) LOL; and I don't remember have an option to use either.

Here is an example of using logical name INISetupFolder somewhere else in the same Magic INI file.
MAGIC_ENV]
...
RuntimeApplicationColorDefinitionFile = %INISetupFolder%XPASupport\clr_xpa.eng
RuntimeApplicationFontDefinitionFile = %INISetupFolder%XPASupport\fnt_xpa.eng
RuntimeInternalFontDefinitionFile = %INISetupFolder%XPASupport\fnt_xpa.eng
RuntimeKeyboardMappingFile = %INISetupFolder%XPASupport\act_rnt.eng
...
[MAGIC_LOGICAL_NAMES]
INISetupFolder=\\AppSupport\System\NetworkSetup\XPA\2.50\INI\
...
PDFOutput=\\AppSupport\System\Data\PDF\
...
You can also use the logical name in side your XPA code.
For example, you want to create a pdf output in a sub folder Customer01\10-05-2020\, relative to the path defined by the logical name "PDFOutput".
Just enter the expression like '%PDFOutput%Customer01\10-05-2020\Summary.pdf' as printer output expression/variable.
During the runtime, the expression will be evaulated as '\\AppSupport\System\Data\PDF\Customer01\10-05-2020\Summary.pdf.'
This is also very handy, if you move the entire folder structure to a different destination.
Some developers like to update INI programmaticallyusing the XPA function INIPUT.
I mostly use override INI files in the command line.
Thanks

Re: UNC vs Drive letters
Stephen Saxton
Thanks Thomas
By any chance, can you show me "a snippit" of how your magic.ini "Logical Names" holds the UNC path?
Would it be similar to this?
C = C:\Apps\magic\Data
;C = C:\Apps\magic\Test_Data
D = %C%
Where you could change where the data was pointing to, just be changing where the ";" resided? Or use iniputs to change it? (if I remember correctly, iniputs would take place immediately vs having to restart the Magic engine)

1. Drive mapping can be dropped or changed by end users 2. If the UNC Path is not accessible by end user then the mapped drive also inherit the same error. I also use Logical Names to save UNC path in Magic.INI Thanks Thomas Titus
