Re: Brown Bag 2022 or 2023 Poll - location options and timing - pick one 2022 option and one 2023 option #poll-notice

Charles Coe
 

Hi Ram,
Certainly understood - The challenge has more to do with the technical issues of pulling it off - and as we are all volunteers, doing on line sessions is a little too big for us to try and pull off in a quality way.
What we are good at here is in person food and entertaining in New Orleans - so this time we're focused on a good in person experience.

The Magic community has always been about sharing.  If we figure out a way to easily share content, we will.

Thanks,
Charles

Hi Guys,
Who can tell me the exact difference between both Events and in what situation do you use them ?
TIA, Teun van Unen.
Re: WebView2 #xpa #dotnet - SOLVED #xpa #dotnet

Thanks Roberto :-)
Finally I got it working.
While trying with your suggestion, I found out that the %Path% environment variable had exceeded its 2048 characters limit (still keeping my dev-laptop at windows7).
Probably it was unable to find the WebView2Loader.dll

Hi Avgerinos! 

Look for WebView2Loader.dll (x86) and place it on the same folder from others MS libs.

This file comes from nuget package, on runtimes folder.

Hi Adrian & Craig

Still struggling to make it work...
The WebView2 .net control seems to load, but displays only a blank page (without errors).

Which version of .NET framework did you have installed?

ANNOUNCEMENT: Brown Bag 2023 - New Orleans Louisiana USA - March 20, 21st and 22nd 2023. Magic Developer Conference North America - Conference fee is $199.00 and Rooms are $199.00/night plus resort fee and taxes - Details at https://MagicDeveloper.net

Charles Coe
 

Magicians,
Our recent survey indicated just over 50% of the responses chose New Orleans for the Conference over the two other cities offered.  Planning for Brown Bag New Orleans 2023 is now complete (and the call for speakers and content planning is in process).  We intend to make this a spectacular training event for Magicians who attend.  

Event and hotel registration links are here: MagicDeveloper.NET
We will also post news and updates on content on this same site as well as pictures of past events.  (https://magicdeveloper.net)

Todd insisted we keep costs low in the spirit of Brown Bag.  To attend the conference is $199.00 for 3 days of Magic training and content.  The really nice hotel we will be at is Harrah's New Orleans with rooms for $199.00/night not including resort fee or taxes (total should be approximately $249.00/night all in).  For those of you who attended Brown Bag New Orleans in the past, this is on the same downtown street as before, but much closer to the Mississippi River (2 blocks away).

We have been told by Magic Software that they will support the conference as in the past by providing Day 1 speakers.  A big thank you to Magic for their continued support of Brown Bag.

Day 2 and 3 will be attendee driven sessions also as in the past that have proven popular.

We do ask that if you are attending from out of town, that you stay at the conference hotel which again is Harrah's New Orleans and make your hotel reservations prior to 2/17/2023 (our room cut-off date), as we have a contractual room night financial commitment to meet (which is how we get the also nice meeting space).  There will be no steaming or on-line options (we're all volunteers who put this on).

We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans in March 2023.

Thanks,
Charles Coe and Todd Baremore

Join us for the fun - like that shown in on this web page: Conference News (magicdeveloper.net)

Subject: [magicu-l] Lots of Free Time #xpa

 

Hello All,

After a restructuring process at my former company, I find myself with lots of free time.

I have been working with Magic since 5.02 all the way to 4.8 (except version 6.00 because it was soo terrible). My strong points are Desktop, backend API programming with Pervasive\Actian and MSSQL backends, I love testing applications, write user manuals and documenting code; I am late to the RIA and WebClient party but now that I have time I will get acquaintance with these features.

I will be updating my CV and LinkedIn page this weekend but do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you
Roberto

Re: WebView2 #xpa #dotnet

Thanks Roberto and Andrian for the suggestions.

Tried both hints in XPA3.3 & 4.7, but no luck yet.
It always ends up with the following message in mgerror.log: The instance of CoreWebView2 is uninitialized and unable to complete this operation. See EnsureCoreWebView2Async., Program: "TEST__u_IExplorer_.NET_WebView".

It's probably a matter of runtimes & paths setup.
Anyone can describe the exact steps taken to install WebView2 libraries?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

Android assets sub folder

Todd Baremore
 

XPA 4.8.1
Android 13

I added subfolder "sets" to the assets folder in RIAModules.  The subfolder has a number of files in it.
RIAModules\Android\Source\app\src\main\assets\sets

I'm able to create an APK without errors.

In the Android app I'm unable to access files in the "sets" subfolder.

ClientFielExist('/sets/data1.set') returns False
ClientFileExists(ClientGetAppInfo('cacheFolder') &'/sets/data1.set') also returns False

If I place data1.set in the assets folder
ClientFielExist('data1.set') returns True
ClientFileExists(ClientGetAppInfo('cacheFolder') &'/data1.set') also returns True


Is there something special about accessing subfolders in the assets folder?
Any idea what I'm missing?

Re: Windows 11 and Browser Control

Steven Burrows
 

Thanks, gave it a try, but still have blank control, although it’s quite likely to be me not really having a clue (I didn’t even have Microsoft.mshtml in my CRR)

 

The js looks good and BrowserScriptExecute returns TRUE, so I must be doing something right.

 

If anyone gets an XPA example working that can display a pdf blob, it would be appreciated

"BrowserSetContent
Sets the content displayed in a Browser Control with a new html text. "

There should be a way to do this using javascript and BrowserScriptExecute().  Off the top of my head, create a generic html page with a javascript function that accepts a single BLOB parameter. The type will need to be set similar to type:'application/pdf'

....20 minutes later.....
See this example:

var blob = new Blob([pdfBuffer], {type: 'application/pdf'});
var blobURL = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
window.open(blobURL);

Mr. Charles Coe,
Please consider having the event available via Zoom or any other suitable meeting platform.
This would greatly facilitate those who find it challenging to travel to New Orleans in the United States.

Mike,
Nothing final just yet.  I am signing the contract tomorrow with the venue.  If you need a date to pencil in, March 19 arrival to New Orleans and 3 day conference starting on Monday March 20 and ending on March 22 at 5pm.
We'll make the announcement once I get the contract signed and the websites updated for detailed info.
We plan on making it an epic Magic learning event for attendees and visitors to New Orleans.

Re: Windows 11 and Browser Control

Steven Burrows
 

Not here on 4.8.1, that just displays the PDF as a Unicode/Ascii string

 

Worse – While testing this, I discovered that our “foolproof” method of copying to OSTemp doesn’t work on a new RDP Server, that just shows blank.

…getting rather frustrated – Time for a cup of Tea

Brendan,

The XPA 4.8 browser control has no trouble displaying a pdf. In 4.8 the browser control is Chromium, not the old IE control. You should be able to use BrowserSetContent( ).

Hi Steve, 

Thanks for answering. Yes thats what we do, but when the user is moving between records in a table it is quite slow, due to having to keep creating these tempfiles. It seems to me that there should be a way to tell the .net browser that the blob is a PDF. But I can't find one.

Thank you! CtxGetName() = ‘Main’ works like a charm.

Similarly…

Condition your call on :

CtxGetName() = ‘Main’

Hi,

 

Just a guess... Have you tried checking CtxNum()? I guess the very last task suffix will have value 1, all other task suffixes would have a larger value.

I want to log when a user exits the program, but the task suffix of the main program runs every time a parallel program terminates, and again when the system terminates. How can I capture when the system terminates? I've tried Level() and TDepth() but they don't seem to help.

and... capturing the event "Close Application" on any scope doesn't seem to work either. Nothing happens when in the main program.

Hey John,
Remove this from your string  -u pomsales@...

I do not think you will be limited to only people in the address book on the server.  If that is the case, then I suspect a setting in the email server configuration, and that is above my pay grade.

Keep us posted on how you progress and if you get this working.
Good luck,
