Enterprise Client Community

Hi Michael,

thanks to the log that you sent we did find the problem...: it had to do with the having two "same" POPUPMENU ids availabl in one screen.

How we now did improve:
we FIRST try to find a POPUPMENU when the user right-clicks which is defined in the same page as the component referenceing the id.
Only if nothing found in this page, then we search for the whole screen - and then the first one wins.

Thanks for your patience and support!
Solution is available in interims version tomorrow morning.

Hi Ralph,

the only way to test if an ACTIVEX component is available on client side for us is to create an instance for it.
So, the best way to test is, what you propose: write an own ACTIVEX component for this test. This makes the result available via ActivrX-properties, that themselves are sent (via PROPERTYINTEREST) to the server processing. The decision on server side then is:

(.) nothing is coming ==> event the check-ACtiveX component is not available
(.) something is coming ==> ok, then all info is inside your hands

...the integration is quite simple... first screenshot below

Hi community,

we are just discussing one hot topic of the last community meeting: output management.

Based on the input of one member we had a bit closer look into JasperReports - and of course this is something which is absolutely useful...! In short words:

(.) with jasper you create reports, in which the layout (.jrxml) is kept aside from the data, so that both together produces a nice looking report.
(.) the report can be output into diverse output formats: including .pdf, .xls, .csv, .xml and: it can be sent to the printer from Java.

So, jasper is a very useful tool for report building and printing.

NOW: what could be done in order to embed jasper? We see the following approaches:

(.) let the server create jasper report and output as PDF ==> display PDF in browser (this is possible right now, use BROWSER component to render .pdf)
(.) let the server create jasper report and output as print-XML ==> display in Enterprise Client using the jasper reports viewer (JRViewer) component. This comes with a quite big jasper foot print (jasper needs to be available in big parts on client side) - but is a 100% reliable mode for rendering reports.
(.) previous issue + directly enable client side printing of jasper reports
...and...
(.) use jasper to directly output grids (FIXGRID) into .pdf/.xls/etc.

Please add other issues + feedback from your side.... Thanks!

We were typing in parallel: my previous message is no response to your last message...

OK, what we can do: we can first search for a POPUPMENU which is included in exactly the same page as the one where the POPUPMENU is referenced. And, if we do not find one there then go on to the next one we can find in the component tree.

This should solve the issue.

Björn

OK... there might be the following problem: the id of the POPUPMENU which is refernced is the same between both pages - the base page and the popup page. Every time a popup menu is opened than the corresponding POPUPMENU is searched, by its id. So there's indeed a possibility that the "wrong" POPUPMENU is selected.

We will check...

Björn

Hi,

how sure are you that the popup is created by the bean of the popup, and not the bean of the page below the popup. Have you checked in debugger that the popup menu really is built up by the right instance?

Tooltip is now also filled with status text.
Available with next update (tomorrow).

Björn

Next update (tomorrow) will contain a CLOCK component - with which the current date or time can be output in diverse formats.

Not yet a stop watch, this will be a component on its own.

Björn

Easiest solution (for me): some tooltip... ?
Björn

Hi Michael,

yes, a component like this is required - we'll add it short term.

You are 100% right about going to the server each second does not sound 100% healthy...

Björn

Last input I'd like to obtain from you: the previous/next navigation (the one with the oustanding tooltips...

should it skip disabled icons?
(I'd rather think so, but...)

Björn

You mean: you want to control per icon "on the left" if it is enabled or not?
