COM/DCOM Client

Support receive_args and return_args during COM events

ActiveX and COM event handlers should be able to use receive_args and

return_args as well as sm_receive_args and sm_return_args to access the

parameters passed to events. This would allow better access to event

parameters and for event handlers to return values.

Remapping NL key to TAB stops PushButton callbacks from firing

Remapping NL key to TAB stops PsuhButton callbacks from firing

I create a pushbutton with a control string of say &&test. I move into

application mode and press the pushbutton; test screen appears.

I create a screen entry function to remap the NL key as in

'call sm_keyoption(NL,KEY_XLATE,TAB)'

I push the button and nothing happens.

I experience the same behavior under JAM 7

I am pretty sure this worked ok under 6.03

CORE Library

CM-shift indicator does not show correctly

2 single line text widget with 5 on screen occurrences, 10 max

occurrences. length 15, max length more than 15 so it would be shifting.

Create synchronized scrolling for these SLT. Make the first occ in the

first SLT and last occ in the second SLT shifting. When you scroll down,

the shift indicator is still there on the left side of the first SLT even

the second occ is not shifting. When you scroll to the last occ, there is

no shift indicator on the last occ of the second SLT.

Problem when setting mnemonic for a pushbutton

To reproduce, create a screen with swedish characters in the

mnemonic-position.

Example, three buttons with mnemonic posn one:

[Nyinmatning] [-ndra] [Sista]

^ ***Note this chatacter does not appear correctly in

character mode. It is supposed to be a capital A with two dots above it.

When testing this screen, pressing the 'S'-key on the keyboars works OK -

the 'Sista'-button is validated. The '-'-key (which is found on all

swedish

keyboars) also works as expected - pressing it validates the

'-ndra'-button.

However, whenever pressing the 'N'-key the cursor simply moves to the

'Nyinmatining'-button and then, when the 'N'-key is pressed again, it

jumps back and forth between the 'Nyinmatning'-button and the

'-ndra'-button without ever validatin either.

It seems to ignore the leading character '-' and draw the (erroneous)

conclusion that there are two buttons with the mnemonic key 'N'!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

CORE Common

When border is turned off, screens have an extra "invisible" line (this

causes an extra line in the HTML generated by JAM/WEB).

When a screen's Border property is set to No, the last line of the

screen, which used to contain the bottom portion of the border, becomes

invisible. If the bottom border line is visible in CM, when Border is

set to No, a blank line is seen in its place. When this line is scrolled

off the screen, it disappears but still exists and JAM/WEB thus adds a

blank line to the HTML it generates. An extra line is generated even

when the screen is from a GUI, since this extra line exists in the CM

rendition of the screen.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

CORE ActiveX

String/text (BSTR) values get truncated in some ActiveX controls.

For example, The Wang Image Thumbnail Control, has is a property

TrumbCaption. I enter "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", then hit enter. The

text gets truncated to "abcdefghijklm".

Listboxes allow blank occurrences to be selected.

Clicking on an occurrence of a listbox that contains no data will result

in selecting that occurrence. In character mode the occurrence does not

appear selected, but if the selection property is checked, it is

selected. In GUI, the occurrence appears selected.

Binherit doesn't update the primary key of a table view widget when there

is more than one. If you import a table that has multiple primary keys

and edit them, they are list one under the other in Panther. You are

able to change them and the change will take effect if you have the lib

and the repository open in panther but will not if you use binherit.

36223 0.5

CORE Upgrade

The MDT backward compatability flag for JAM 5 is broken in Panther.

We created a backward compatability flag for JAM 5, based upon BUG

#27724. The application level property, "PR_JAM5_NO_MDT_EXPHIDE", when

set will cause the Jam 5 behaior to occur. This flag worked in Jam 7. In

Panther, the flag appears to be broken, and no longer restores the JAM 5

behavior when set.

LDB does not work when erasing text in MLT with WordWrap set to Yes.

When using LDB with two screens, if you enter text in a MLT on screen 1,

it will automatically be loaded/copied into MLT on screen 2. However, if

you erase text in screen 1, it won't be erased in screen 2.

XMIT inside an action listbox does not work.

In early versions of JAM, when you hit the XMIT key while focus

was inside an action listbox, nothing happened. If you hit the

XMIT key from within a single line text, it worked fine.

A bug was created, and fixed (BUG #28527). This bug, while fixed in JAM

7, is broken in Panther 4.20.

f2asc -a may write an output file when there are errors in the input

file. This output file may have other problems. Also, it makes it less

likely that errors in ASCII files will be detected.

CORE ActiveX

ActiveX control hangs Panther application.

When openning the screen with the activeX control, it takes longer time

to open the screen. If you go to test mode, you can not exit or close

Panther. It has no response.

The ActiveX control works fine in Panther 4.50 or earlier version but not

in Panther 4.60.

Panther 4.6 validates Date formats with . or / on end incorrectly. The

error 'Invalid Date/Time Format' is returned. This did not happen in

Panther 4.5.

Dates with format DAYL and length too short return Invalid Date/Time

error. This did not happen in Panther 4.5 and is similar to bugsy 36916,

but this date problem is with a different format.

Customer uses length 7 to save room, so cut off day names are returning

the errors.

Seems only to happen in report dynamic labels.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

36998 0.5

CORE Debugger

Panther for Motif ocassionally crashes when the debugger exits.

Panther for Motif can crash in the Panther Debugger during exit.

This dump happened while the Panther Editor (prodev) was closing down

(function clean_up in jxmain.c). Code that frees menu structures called

Motif code to destroy the menu bars.

This resulted in a window resize, which caused a callback into Panther

code (function PiXmClipCb in xmfrm.c). This then calls functions in

order to resize the window; this passes control to the Panther Debugger,

which tries to change the cursor. Panther then tries to access internal

structures and somehow crashes.

The problem may be associated with the following settings in the motif

configuration file:

Prolifics.baseWindow: false

Prolifics.formMenus: true

since is has bot been observed by other customers.

not.

However, if I have a widget with the following properties

Regular Exp = [0-9]\{0,4\}\.\{0,1\}[.0-9\]\{0,6\}

Sorting grid affects the color of column occurrences

Customer uses Panther 4.5 COM.

He sets dynamically the color B_WHITE of second occurrences in a

grid (widgetName -> bg_color_num = B_WHITE)

Afterwards, he uses the sort property on each columns of the

grid.

When using sort, he notice that some occurrences of a column

close to the second occurrence get also colored B_WHITE.

This occurs only when the occurrences in the column have the

same label.

For example :

If Column 1 has labels :

The sorting on this column works fine and colors stayed attached

to occurrence 2 (BB).

If Column 2 has labels:

When sorting the grid on this column, the 2 occurrences BB get

colored B_WHITE.

I have tested patchs 36504 and 36580 but nothing changes.

Please, could you test the testcase provided in the OPR's dir and

TM enabled services in production servers leave cursors open

The transaction manager only closes cursors when the TM_FINISH event is

default pre/post service handlers and cached TM enabled service

containers.

Since the service containers are selected/deselected (rather than

opened/closed) the TM_FINISH event is never triggered. Which means

there's one open cursor for each server view on each already opened

service container.

This is especially problematic for Oracle since the ora*emb.pc file we
