Timer support

Moved up to version 1.30 due end of june

It does not look like anything became of your suggestions in that other thread.

I understand what is involved, I am just frustrated about the difficulty in reproducing this basic functionality on the web. It is, IMO, the one big hurdle conceptually to web apps becoming a standard.

BTW, the TIMER class in VFP would simplify some of this for FiC. I cannot get periodicupdater in prototype to work under FiC. Not necessarily an FiC issue, just me figuring it out. I have the FiC js source, so I an do it. There just needs to be a tool for this IMO.

Would you consider moving up in the roadmap timer support?

1- due to web constraints, the only way to feedback process progress to the user is to run a separate, asynchronous task;
2- wwAsyncWebRequest does exist in WC4, but does not address the user feedback issue;
3- we proposed an implementation here: http://www.west-wind.com/wwThreads/default.asp?Thread=3HE0QYEQ3&MsgId=3HJ025GTC

I know this subject has been done to death, but for me, with FiC, this has gotten a little ridiculous the lengths to which I must go to provide a simple progress bar. Now before everyone piles on about the web, and stateless, etc., I know all that. But the USERS, the ones paying the bill, do not care about that. Period. They want what they always had on the desktop:

instantiate thermo class
loop
process A
Process B
update thermo display
endloop

I admit to being quite annoyed previosly when the idea that processes take a while, and that users might sit there for them, was considered hey, what an idea. Besides the massive rewrites involved, it is usual, customary, and required for users to sit there until a process is done. With reports we can get away with dumping the process off, but not with financial transactions of mega-importance.

I KNOW I can dump them process and check progress with a timer -- although the ajax and prorotype timers have some quirks with FiC, we could work around that. But that is not an answer. I can open all kinds of beautiful modal progress windows, but that is not a answer.

I am not up for rewriting over 2000 forms and 1500 classes.

It is an absolute requirement that within one method or block of code there be a way to send immediately a message to update some screen appearance This is so basic I cannot believe how much time I spent arguing about it.

Webconnect docs seem to have a class to manage this, but it requires wc 5.

This is the biggest thing stopping my enterprise apps. I have lost clients because, with FiC, I cannot easily accomplish this most basic of VFP tasks.

I am at a loss.

A control source is an expression not a value, hence the quotes are required.

Please check the documentation for control source for more info.

I tried without success. This is why I asked here.
I asked it already at 06/04/2012 but maybe you have not seen it:
http://www.west-wind.com/wwThreads/default.asp?Thread=3IO0AYXEW&MsgId=3IO0AYXEX

I set ControlSource between quote and it runs now:

this.txtKeyField.ControlSource="this.Page.oBusiness.oData.Field1"

Thank you

Why don't you try it instead of asking a questino here? It's probably quicker than waiting for a response here...

Yes it works but it has to be done before a call to DataBind() is made.

+++ Rick ---

Dear Rick,
is it possible to set ControlSource programmatically from code, instead of setting it into Visual Web Developer?
When is it possible to set it? before DataBinding?

this.txtKeyField.ControlSource=this.Page.oBusiness.oData.Field1

Thank you very much

The roadmap does not mention the saving of _screen properties. IS it still planned for 1.3?

Also, you stated that we should wait for that feature to store user specific (not form specific) data -- how do you suggest it be done in the meantime?

I have an old VFP6 program that uses the wwIPStuff FTP control. The VFP exe file resides on a network share.

lnRespOK = oFTP.FTPConnect(ALLTRIM(DatParam.IPAddr),ALLTRIM(DatParam.SUserID),;
      ALLTRIM(DatParam.SPassword))

I recently changed the IP address, username & password parameters and now it won't connect to the FTP server.

I know the parameters are valid because I can connect using other FTP clients.

And here's the weirdness...when another user runs the VFP program from the network share, she is able to connect to the FTP server just fine.

I'm wondering if there is some lingering setup string that needs to be flushed out somehow?

Any help would be most appreciated.

From a form that has a public data session, I call OPENDBFS(), a function of mine that opens 200 tables. At first it opened them in the apphost datasession, which was bad, so I added SET DATASESSION TO before opening them. Now they open in datasesion 1.

But that also does not work. Now if I call a child form, still in the same public data environment, the grids cannot load because they cannot find any of the open tables - they are looking in some other datasession, not sure why.

What I did temporarily is put into the Load of the child form SET DATASESSION TO, but that helps only for loading initially.

Hi Rick,
I solved. The solution is to consider the Postback status:

FUNCTION OnLoad()
...
if .IsPostBack=.F.
    .txtRecipient.Text=Request.Querystring("Recipient")
endif

Dear Rick,
I have a webpage sending email, I load recipient address from Request.Querystring

FUNCTION OnLoad()
...
.txtRecipient.Text=Request.Querystring("Recipient")

then I can change manually recipient address before to send email.
The webTextBox for recipient has ControlSourceMode=TwoWay.
However even if I change manually the recipient address on webpage, the form sends email to original recipient (what loaded from Request.Querystring)

	.oSmtp=CREATEOBJECT("wwSmtp")
	WITH .oSmtp
                ...
		.cRecipient=this.txtRecipient.Text

Please, what is wrong?
Thank you very much

Whatever this problem is, it affects generation of grids if the data source is opened before the form.

if I put a grid on a form and give a view as a controlsource, say View1, then assign data to some columns, then generate, I will get error that "record xxx cannot instantiate becaiuse it cannot find recordouirce='View1'

1. Happens about 60%of the time, no pattern seen.
2. If suspend when prompted to debug, if the view was opened by the calling form, it is clearly there.
3. public or prvate datasession no different
4. not matter if view opened in xxsets, in calling form, or in child form. (this is a child form)

However it seems that if I make a private data session and put everything in there, it will generate.

Shouldn't it generate OK and run OK from a table or view opened by the calling form in a public data session?

You can USE tables the same as you've always done.
The only difference is that 'global' dataSession is awAppHost's instead of 1

Thanks for the info. I had looked in the code, but I guess I did not get it.

I always used Stonefield's DT in my apps to manage data. For FiC I stopped using the SDT functions like opentable, etc. because the functions are scoped to a data session and I was not sure if that would work. Sounds like if I scope to apphost (or a form's private session) I could use STD or similar.

'public' datasession is actually 'default'
'default' is the datasession a form is called from
awAppHost Session is where your application works in

Whatever this problem is, it affects generation of grids if the data source is opened before the form.

.cUserID is the session ID, and cookie value
.wUser value and type is stored in session table by setSessionVar()

But if I check giowcserver.oapphost.cuserid, it never changes.

just make sure either xxxProcess.wUserGet() or xxxFrm.wUserGet() returns the proper user ID of your application

In case I was not clear, I wish to change users, not temporarily. When the app started we did not have a real user, now we do, or else the users have changed.

1- Process.oSession.set/getSessionVar() or Session.set/getSessionVar()
2- .wUserGet() returns whatever you implemented
if you implement xxxFrm.wUserGet(), xxxProcess.wUserGet() returns the same as xxxFrm.wUserGet()

Lot of trouble trying to instantiate wwsession, which is what I originally thought to do. Could you give a quick example of these 2 things in VFP code:

1. I want to set a property ADMIN=.F. for this user (session wide). then later retrieve it.

2. From some method somewhere I want to see the current master user from wUsetGet. (not form specific)

Thanks

data depending on user but not on request/event can be stored in wwSession
data depending on user and changing along request/event should be stored in form properties and moved around forms by parameters

The roadmap does not mention the saving of _screen properties. IS it still planned for 1.3?

Also, you stated that we should wait for that feature to store user specific (not form specific) data -- how do you suggest it be done in the meantime?

1- when clicking on test page links, can you see your form(s) in the browser?
2- you need to follow FAA instructions, e.g. perform the manual adaptations, watch for warnings, etc. - you can run FAA over and over to eliminate items you've solved and/or ignore the adaptations you've done or out of your scope and filter on 'not ignored'
3- For each 'master' (AKA 'top-level') form, you need to implement a method in xxxProcess as of sample code supplied
4- When you're done, in IIS, you can redirect 'index.htm' to '/xxxTest/mainForm.xxx'

Hello Thierry,

Thanks for this clarification. I already done the step 3 process and it's looks OK.

What would be the next steps in order to run my App on the Localhost?

Is there any Manual configuration required?

Hmmm... that's odd. Not sure why a C# source file would be referenced at runtime. Does the name of that file look familiar to you (ie. any relationship to the assembly that's generated?)

But it looks like a permissions issue - .NET compiler trying to generate some code on the fly and probably not having rights to write to the temp folder. Try bumping the permissions in that path (if possible). I'm not sure why this should be happening for any of the generated assemblies though.
