We haven’t heard any report about this issue. May be you can un-install the solution and Formativ and re-install it again. If the problem persist, could you send the Formativ configuration to support@advansyscorp.com. You can obtain the configuration by selecting Help | About Formativ… from the GroupWise main menu. When the About Formativ dialog appears, go to the Configuration tab and click the button Copy to clipboard. Then paste the text into your reply email (or save it to a plain-text file and include it as an attachment).

Sorry, we don’t have any examples relating to your questions. Based on your previous post, you may need to open the connection once and all other function/sub should use the opened database connection. Make sure to close the connection at the end of the process. Here is an example of the structure you can use:

  
Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)

  dim oADOObj

  set oADOObj = nothing

  if not OpenDataBase() then
    exit sub
  end if

  select case iDlg.execute
    case Btn1 AddNewRecord(oADOObj)
    case Btn3 DisplayAllRecords(oADOObj)
    case Btn4 FindRecord(oADOObj)
    case Btn5 EditRecord(oADOObj)
  end select

  CloseDataBase(oADOObj)

  set oADOObj = nothing

End Sub


' Open Database connection
function OpenDataBase(byref aADOObj)

 OpenDataBase = false
 Set aADOObj = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

 ' << Setup your connection string and other process relate to opening database >>

end function



' Close Database connection
function CloseDataBase(byref aADOObj)

  if aADOObj is nothing then
    exit function
  end if

  aADOObj.close

end function


' Add record as the connection is already opened so no need to open in here
Sub AddNewRecord(byref aADOObj)

  if aADOObj is nothing then
    exit sub
  end if

end sub

You can use the Position property to specify the current position of the progress bar.
Frms.PB01.Position = 1

Alternatively, you can use the StepBy property to specify the amount that position increases when the StepBy method is called.
Frms.PB01.StepBy(1)

Hope this helps.

Which version of Formativ framework are you running (See Help – About Formativ)?

Formativ 1.6 only shows modal dialog which has to be closed to continue other process including showing another dialog. In your case, you need to re-display the main dialog once the secondary dialog closed.

Formativ 2.0 allow you to build custom forms and dialogs using the dynamic visual forms designer and you can display secondary dialog while the main dialog is visible. The earlier response was based on Formativ 2 framework. See the web link below for more information about creating solution with Formativ 2:
http://www.advansyscorp.com/formativ_development_more.htm

If you are using Formativ Framework 2.0 then we highly recommend you to use the Formativ 2 Forms. See the ‘Formativ Users Guide’ for more information about creating, displaying Forms. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or comments.

Select the button in Formativ Form Designer, change the ModalResult value to mrNone. Alternatively, you can set the dialog ModalResult in the applet:

‘Close the dialog when ‘Add’ button pressed
Sub btnAddClick(Sender)
MainDlg.modalresult = MROK
End Sub

‘Do not close the dialog when ‘Add’ button pressed
Sub btnAddClick(Sender)
MainDlg.modalresult = MRNONE
End Sub

Hope this helps.

Thanks. We will contact Novell and let you know any update. It always helps getting a bug fixed if other reports are received, so you may want to report it to Novell via the Developernet Support Forum independently from us.

Alternatively, you can post GroupWise Object API related questions into the following forum:
http://groups.google.com.au/group/novell.devsup.gwobjapi?hl=en

We haven’t heard anything from Novell yet. Could you please tell us the GroupWise version you are running. Do you see the same behaviour in GroupWise 7?

Regards,
Advansys Support

[Support 3]

We have reported this bug to Novell and they created the defect #212339. We don’t know yet when the fix will be available.

See this forum post about closing GroupWise. Please note, attempting to close GroupWise from a C3PO may produce unpredictable behavior.

> Now we’d like to give the customer the option to interrupt this process.
We don’t have any sample code specific to your needs. However you should be able to place some exit statement in your import process to stop the process. Here is a sample exit statement from “Microsoft Visual Basic Script Guide”. See the guide for more information.

quote:

---

Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition
Exit Statement

Description
Exits a block of Do…Loop, For…Next, Function, or Sub code.

Syntax
Exit Do
Exit For

Exit Function

Exit Property

Exit Sub

Hope this helps.

Please see the forum post about adding custom field to an address book entry. Once you access the custom field then you can modify its value property. See the AddressBookEntry and Field object in Object API (http://developer.novell.com/documentation/gwobjapi/index.html?gwobjenu/data/h7ikbsqg.html) for more information.

We can reproduce the behaviour now.

Seems like GroupWise 7 failed to add 3rd party menu items into the drop-down menu list (‘Arrow pointing down’ icon from the far left of the Nav Bar). We need to investigate this issue further and may need to report this issue to Novell.

We will post any update in this thread.

Formativ Studio 2.0.1 installed during the above test.

[Support 3]

Thanks for your message.

Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce the behaviour on GroupWise 7.0.1 (build 27/07/2006, build number 422). Here is the steps we followed:

• Uncheck “Display Main Menu” in Tools-Options-Appearance. Other settings:
  Schemes: Custom, Display Nav Bar = true, Display Main Toolbar = true
• Close the dialog and Menubar not present (i.e. File, Edit, View, Actions, Applets, etc), only the Navigation bar exists.
• Click ‘Arrow pointing down’ icon from the far left of the Nav Bar and select ‘Display Main Menu’ popup menu item.
• GroupWise menu items displayed (i.e. File, Edit, View, Actions, etc).
• Formativ menu items displayed (Applets).

Please let us know if we have missed any steps. If our steps above is same as yours but the behaviour is different then we will recommend you to reinstall GroupWise or upgrade to the latest version.

Hope this helps.

Advansys Support

Could you provide steps to hide the “main menu” in GroupWise 7 and please provide more information about the “Arrow icon next to te Home TAB”.

I look forward to hear from you.
