Made a new VO standard MDI application and threw the CATO dll's out. Alessandro is right: when you open a VO -application and the CATO dll's are not there, you do not get an error. But the standard databrowser will be read-only mode. Strange effect... Alessandro why don't you ask Robert VDH? -- Paul

I have had the same behaviour when working on my very personal DBU... doubleclick on DBF, dragin a DBF, and so on. Databrowser in readonly mode. I don't remember the solution... some years ago... maybe adopted bBrowser at that time! Massimo Bighelli ARCA Sistemi S.r.l. www.arcasistemi.it www.arcasistemi.eu

I was just to post something to let you see: Make a new MDI Replace the Start with this, so it can accept file as parameters or you can use with DBF association Make the exe and try. ****CODE**** METHOD Start() CLASS App LOCAL oMainWindow AS StandardShellWindow LOCAL DBF AS STRING DBF:=AsString(GetCommandLine()) DBF:=SubStr(DBF,At(" ",DBF)+1) SELF:Initialize() SetExclusive( FALSE ) SetAnsi(TRUE) SetDeleted( TRUE ) SetDateCountry(ITALIAN) SetCentury(TRUE) SetEpoch(1990) RddSetDefault("DBFCDX") oMainWindow := StandardShellWindow{SELF} oMainWindow:Show(SHOWCENTERED) IF !Empty(DBF) //Clean the name DO WHILE Left(DBF,1)=" " DBF:=SubStr(DBF,2) ENDDO IF Left(DBF,1)='"' DBF:=SubStr(DBF,2,SLen(DBF)-2) ENDIF IF !Upper(Right(DBF, 4)) == ".DBF" DBF+=".DBF" ENDIF oMainWindow:DoOpenFile(DBF,FALSE) ENDIF SELF:Exec() RETURN NIL ****END CODE**** > Alessandro why don't you ask Robert VDH? I'm just telling all of you, hoping it is just an error of mine If Robert is reading (as I hope), he will see and fix it Anyway, why should I report for a bug (loosing my time) and pay for it to be solved? Or they made bug fix free or they should pay bug hunters :-P Still on SP2. -- Ciao, Alessandro

When the CATO DLLs are not available then VO uses a DataListView in stead of a DataBrowser when in Browse mode. I think this was already so in VO 2.0. -- Robert van der Hulst AKA Mr. Data Vo2Jet & Vo2Ado Support VO & Vulcan.NET Development Team www.heliks.nl

Yes, but this is the minor problem: tha main is that even if CATO* dll are in the exe dir they are not used when the exe is called by an associated file -- Ciao, Alessandro |
