Known Issues

Table Widget Editor

  • should only accept table source inputs (allowed me to enter a file name)
  • hide font options, as they don't do anything (or use them as a default for the text on the widget)
  • data source does not display in input sometimes, hard to reproduce. Try start in .DKL/PLO DRAG 'N DROP, Opt Int, then Opt 94 to .DKL/PLO SHELL SELECTED FILE,then A/C .DKL/PLO DETAILS SELECTED FILE, then IE, double click widget. Or Run the input from design: .DKL/PLO DRAG ’N DROP, Drag some files, Close the input, then: - Start in .DKL/PLO DRAG 'N DROP, Opt Int, then Opt 94 to .DKL/PLO SHELL SELECTED FILE,then goto A/C .DKL/PLO DETAILS SELECTED FILE, then Image Editor, double click widget.
  • Invocation Type s/b required field.

Table Source Editor

  • hitting enter in key entry mode does not bring up list (READ FIRST not set?)
  • accepts invalid occurrence numbers
  • App Id 0LA should display as ---
  • Can't Browse and then Navigate to hits
  • link from DD does not work
  • link from DD is not highlighted if table sources exist
  • when adding fields from other files, warning message refers to 'Post User Selection' EP.

Table Widget Runtime

  • trying use a data source with 5K records, got C-assert or Appx crashes (client closes session):
    ==================================================================
    APPX Runtime Error
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    MODULE: FP.C.1840
    PROCESS: 1EX/00/INPUT - VENDOR TABLE TEST
    find_citm() - attach failed
    ==================================================================
  • double click option difficult to trigger
  • if a Size is set, data is truncated to that size, even if the user expands the column.
  • Filling dead space - right now the last column is expanded –if necessary- to create a row that fills the total with of the table, but that sometimes gives trouble in resizing the last column.
  • Wide Columns appear to be truncated. Try to display a 512 character field.

Drag & Drop Editor

  • There should be a flag on the --- WIDGET spec to indicate if the field can accept a Drop action. This should be available for the following Widget types: button, label, table widget, html viewer, and Window Background. Currently only works for Widgets attached to an item. Problem: Some of those widget types do not fire an option, ie, labels, etc.

Drag & Drop Runtime

  • There are times when it would be nice for the ADC Window to gain focus when an object is dropped on it.
  • When dragging files over an Appx screen show where you can drop your files (change border or something of the widgets that can accept a drop action). More of a 'nice to have', since the mouse pointer changes when the mouse passes over a drop target.
  • Provide a runtime API to copy the --- DROP* files to memory versions of those files (MDROP* ?) to make it easier for a designer to save the contents of --- DROP.
  • If you set @SDND=file to only accept files, and the user drops a folder, the option still fires but the --- DROP* files are empty. The option probably should not fire at all in this case, and the mouse pointer should not change (?).
  • Files dropped remain in the temporary folder forever. They should probably be cleared when the --- DROP* files are initialized. Alternatively, provide a method for the designer to specify a location for dropped files, and the designer will manually clear the directory at login.
  • Create unique filenames for the temp file. Now the subject seems to be the name of the tempfile. This gives problems in dropping more items with the same subject.
  • Possible bug? When files are dragged from Thunderbird & dropped, the temp file seems to be erased almost immediately (there is no opportunity for the Appx process to get it).

New Event Points (Tab In/Out/Value Changed)

  • If you have 2 fields beside each other, one with Tab Out and one with Tab In, only one event fires when you tab from one to the other.
  • Two fields on an image. Both with tab in/out set to yes, when you switch from the desktop client to another program, then switch back to the client. Then tab to the next field, no option is fired.
  • Link tab in/tab out/value changed to a data lookup. This way it is easy to give already existing screens a more direct interaction with the user without redesigning the whole screen. A designer should tell though that the data lookup should be performed per field. If any of the tab in/out/value changed flags are set and there's a DLU, perform the DLU at the same time as the event is fired?
  • The default value of valueChangedTimer can be set to 300 instead of 1000. Maybe we need some more testing to be done on that to find out what a nice default can be.

Other

  • Can't xref table source process types
  • Can't print tech doc for table source types
  • Need .WIDGET routine to REFRESH Table Widget via WIDGET VISIBLE INIT, maybe?.
  • Drag & Drop libraries are not installed during client install
  • Mac (and probably Linux) clients do not run
