ShareWith OpenEdge 10.2B Service Pack 5 Progress Software added a new property named UseFullFieldNames to the ProBindingSource component (Progress.Data.BindingSource). While this property and the underlying behavior is extremely useful with handling joined queries through the ProBindingSource a bug that yesterday got confirmed as bug number OE00216397 introduces potentially a compatibility issue of your application source code with OpenEdge 10.2B Service Pack 4 and earlier releases. Once this property is used (set to True) on a ProBindingSource instance it is expected that the Form needs to be compiled and executed on Service Pack 5 (or later). The default value of this property is FALSE to keep the original behavior of the ProBindingSource. However, the properties default value is not properly marked as the DefaultValue for the Visual Designer (an annotation in Progress’ C# source code is probably missing). Read more

ShareThe usage of shortcuts is one of the key features to enable the user to use an application completely using the keyboard. When using the OpenEdge Architect we all know that Ctrl + S saves the current changes from for example code files. In an ABL GUI for .NET application this is typically achieved by assigning a shortcut key from the System.Windows.Forms.Shortcut enumeration to a menu item or ribbon tool – no matter if you are using the toolbar and menu components from Microsoft or Infragistics. A common concern of developers moving from the ABL GUI to the GUI for .NET is that the ABL GUI seems to support more combinations of the modifier keys (CTRL, ALT, SHIFT) and regular keys or cursor keys.

ShareOpenEdge Architect’s templates for new files and new code sections like methods or internal procedures are not always what a developer would expect or like to have. The templates used are based in Eclipse JET templates (Java Emitter Templates, http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-JET/jet_tutorial1.html). To customize those it is required to set up an Eclipse Plugin Development environment (PDE). Read more
