This collection of code snippets used to be hosted on www.global-shared.com.
It is an old collection: it all began in 1996 or 1997, when Progress 8 was new and many of us were still using Windows 3.1 !!
Unlike wine or paintings, program code doesn't get better when it ages. You can find fragments that can be improved because Microsoft continuously expands their API, or are outdated because Progress has added features to the ABL so we don't need to use the WIN32 API anymore.

Treeview - Checkbox issue
Mon, 2010-04-05 14:32 — dwhiteHi,
I am using a Treeview control (version 6.0) and it doesn't appear
to have the ability to disable checkboxes or grey them out from what I
can tell (if I'm wrong, could someone tell me how?)
Since it doesn't, I'm at least trying to write code in the node click
event that will prevent the user from changing the value of the
checkbox when I need it to be disabled. So I have code that sets the
Checked status back to what it originally was before the user clicked
on that node.
The problem is that my code works fine, but that as soon as the event

Is there a way to host a Progress 4GL app in an HTML page or in a .NET application. Is it possible to wrap it as an ActiveX control, or are there perhaps tools out there that provide some form of wrapper to turn it into a control?
Thanks for your help.

About WTSEnumerateSessions
Mon, 2009-09-21 07:56 — oli.duneHi there,
I try to use the API Function WTSEnumerateSessions to get a list of Terminal Server Sessions.
Of course, it doesn't work quite well, so any help would be highly appreciated.
Look at the here-attached piece of code.
At line 64, replace "TerminalServerName" by a valid one and see what happen.
Apparently we have a valid handle to the server, the WTSEnumerateSessions returns the correct number of sessions, but I can't analyze the list of SessionId/Name/State.
How to integrate MessageBlaster into Progress application?
Wed, 2009-08-12 17:59 — Wolfgang WeberActually I only need to trap the WM_ERASEBKGND event from within Progress. As I understand I should use msgblst32.ocx for this. But I never worked with OCX. Could anybody please give me information about the integration of the OCX into a Progress application?
Thank you very much in advance!

.NET + OpenEdge Webservices using ProDataSet
Tue, 2009-06-02 17:04 — anwarhussainWe are trying to create an application with a thought of SOA, for this we
have selected .Net UI and progress web services using prodataset.
Problem is that .net client is not able to find prodataset reference in
services which are taking dataset as input parameter (they need to create
an object of that type to pass to this service).
How to add a colored square in the titlebar through api
Thu, 2009-04-23 15:12 — DriesSometimes 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.
