We have just published on update of the Extreme Windows Desktop Integration samples and slides to our web server. The samples are updated for the hands-on workshop during the “PUG UK & Ireland Spring Conference 2012”. In this workshop we will present well known, updated and new samples that demonstrate the use of the GUI for .NET bridge available since OpenEdge 10.2A with the aim to simplify Windows API usage and to achieve a very tight integration of OpenEdge applications into the Windows Desktop.

With 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 →

The 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.
