How to add a colored square in the titlebar through api

Dries — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:12:10 +0000

Sometimes it's neccessary to add a Caption in the titlebar to give extra information to the user of your application. The attached file does this, and makes sure the window got redrawn when windows triggers arive.
As you can see, many instances of msgblst32 are added on this window. The goal is to make it more the controlling window which always catches the events on the underlaying session applications. As every window needs its own ocx, I provided 40 instances which are hopefully enough to maintain every window.

DB2Excel

redskienz — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:53:25 +0000

Hi guys,
I tried to create a program that will generate code that will export table contents to excel
and wanted other people to test my project. (P.S. Please excuse my coding, I'm just a starter with progress :}).

This program is created using Openedge 10.1B and tested using Microsoft Excel 2007
DB2Excel is a program that automatically generates code for importing data to excel.

Step 1: db2Excel Collects tables from the database and makes them available for selection.
(if needed for schema preview, you can edit the source code to view system tables)
