In Formativ 2.0 visual forms controls, you can change the control enabled state, font, etc.

For example, code below change a label control enable state, font size.

  
  MainDlg.labelDescription.enabled = false
  MainDlg.labelDescription.font.size = 12
  MainDlg.showmodal

In Formativ 2.0 visual forms designer, you can change control Font, Enabled state, etc. You will need to select the control (label, button, etc) and change its properties in Object Inspector.

Hope this helps.

Sample code: http://beta.advansyscorp.com/COM-component-example.zip

Zipped folders above contains COM component written in Visual C# 2008 and a Formativ Applet which will call the component.

Setup steps:

• Download and unzip the folder above.
• Save ‘…Advansys.COM.ComponentCOM-tester-applet.vbf’ applet to default Formativ applets folder, usually: “c:Documents and SettingsUSER-NAMEMy DocumentsAdvansysFormativApplets”
• Register ‘…Advansys.COM.ComponentbinDebugAdvansys.COM.Component.dll” using regasm. See thread above for more information.
  Example: C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv1.1.4322regasm /codebase “c:tempAdvansys.COM.ComponentbinDebugAdvansys.COM.Component.dll”
• Start GroupWise and execute ‘COM-tester-applet’ applet. You can execute the applet from Formativ IDE or GroupWise toolbar.
  – A dialog will be displayed to enter employee name & date of birth.
  – Once you press OK button, information entered will be displayed in messagebox.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, you can not create dynamic controls in Formativ 2.0 visual forms designer.

Another alternative is to create COM enabled component in Delphi, VB, C#, etc and call it from the Formativ applet. You can also use Formativ API to execute a Formativ applet, pass data, etc from your external application.

Let us know, if you need any sample code.

Thanks,

Thanks for your post.

We also unable to set ‘Checked’ property, it could be a bug in this property.

Are you using Formativ 1.5 or 2.0? If you are using Formativ 2.0 or onwards then you can use the dynamic visual forms designer. You can create a new applet, on the editor toolbar in Formativ, press the ‘Forms’ button. Create a new form from the dialog shown. The visual forms designer appears, drag and drop components from the palette onto the form. There are two types of date time controls available in Formativ 2.0: DateTimePicker (Win32 tab), RzDateTimeEdit (Enhanced tab).

Sorry for the delay.

How do I ensure the old ones are gone with out having to go to each machine and delete the cache directory?

---

In Formativ Configuration Object:

1) Update applet cache on startup should be CHECKED
2) Enable intelligent applet caching should be UNCHECKED

With this settings, Formativ will deletes all the cache directories on GroupWise client startup. If Applet library contains many applets then this settings may result some traffic over the network and slow to start GroupWise client. However, you may only want do it for a short time to refresh cache to all users.

Does the Formativ Control panel settings override the Config object settings in this case? In other words, if a user un-checked the options, would this turn it off for them?

Formativ Configuration settings override Formativ Control panel settings.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the update.

You can use Formativ Configuration Object then set ‘Update applet cache on client startup’ checkbox. Please see the Formativ Studio Users Guide – ‘Configuration Object’ section for more information.

For your convenient, I have pasted below some text from the Users Guide…

quote:

Update applet cache on client startup
In Formativ 1.0 this setting was called Reload shared Applets on GroupWise client startup. When this option is enabled, the user’s subscribed eDirectory Formativ Applet libraries are always accessed on client startup to ensure that the Formativ workstation’s local Applet cache is always up to date. This procedure ensures that the Formativ user is always running the latest Applet version stored in eDirectory. The update process varies according to the option Enable intelligent applet caching (see below). To maintain a local, fast-access eDirectory Applet ‘mirror,’ this setting should be enabled for most environments.

Enable intelligent applet caching
In Formativ 1.0, this option was called Enabled when using GroupWise Remote. In Formativ 1.5 and above, the operation of this feature has been enhanced to work in conjunction with Update applet cache on client startup, which must be enabled for the intelligent caching option to work. As in Formativ 1.0, enabling this option prevents the local workstation Applet cache from being cleared when you exit the GroupWise client. Intelligent Applet caching, introduced in Formativ 1.5, works by the Formativ client interrogating a Formativ library Applet UTC ‘timestamp,’ which is set when the Applet is published to eDirectory by Formativ Studio (you must extend the schema using the Formativ Schema Wizard to use this feature). This means that an Applet will only be downloaded from eDirectory if the Applet stored in the local workstation cache has a timestamp which is older than that of the library Applet.

The result is minimum traffic over the network and fast GroupWise client startup, without sacrificing the benefits of centralized distribution and management via eDirectory. If you wish to use eDirectory Formativ Applet libraries with GroupWise Remote, Enable intelligent applet caching must be enabled.
