Mon, 2008-05-19 14:00 — MatrixbobGood morning to all guy! :)
I'm a new italian user of OpenEdge SW suite, so sorry for my bad english. :(
I come from C, PHP and SQL languages and now i start to work with OE.
My team received a lot of SW to debug (), but don't exist the relative documentation and so we are scared to mod part of the code because we ignore the side-effect of the mod. ;(
I ask to you if is possible rebuild the relationship starting from the DB, a kind of:
TABLES
--->
E-R SCHEMA

Mon, 2008-05-19 13:43 — MatrixbobGood morning to all guy! :)
I'm a new italian user of OpenEdge SW suite, so sorry for my bad english. :(
I come from C, PHP and SQL languages and now i start to work with OE.
My first question is relative at the "regular expression":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression
http://www.regular-expressions.info/
http://php.html.it/articoli/leggi/851/espressioni-regolari/
, can i use this "power tool" with the frame's fill-in or form's textbox?!
I think to use these to ckeck the validate of the string in input.
TNX a lot!

Is it possible to create a template for several tables where in the contents of the window depends on what table is passed on the template. This Window might contain fill-ins and a browse.
This window should have several functionalities such as Add-Edit-Delete-Save..
Any idea will be a big help.. Thanx

Application Compiler from Command Line Linux
Fri, 2008-02-29 20:49 — Bashfull100I would like to know how and what would be the best way to compile a .p procedure that I have modified/created, using a command line linux based O/S server? I have a product called Vantage from Epicor running on OpenEdge 10.1Bsp3 Linux O/S. Since the product is installed through a Windows based Admin Box the compliler on the Win32 box will not function properly as it cannot find all the associated functions. This leads to complile directly from the server and as such it is command line based system only, no gui installed. Any help or direction in this area would be greatly appreciated !!!

Computer software must be easy to use
Wed, 2008-02-06 19:07 — ArthurFink[This was written for another audience, but may be useful here. Note particularly the guidelines at the end.]
Friends and colleagues complain to me all the time: Why are so many computer programs hard to use, with misleading or confusing screen prompts, counterintuitive methods to accomplish simple tasks, and lots of options that are rarely used but that clutter the screen and that often slow users down? After all, on what appliance other than a personal computer would you press a ‘start’ button to turn the machine off?
UI Design Guidelines
Wed, 2008-02-06 18:03 — ArthurFinkThis is a book front-page for the UI Design Guidelines category.
To kick things off, Arthur submitted the article "Computer software must be easy to use", which is a fascinating study into how a successful consultant can make a huge difference, by asking good questions to help the software users figure out what would really help them be more productive. Thanks for the great article, Arthur! -- John
