Hi,
I'm trying to make some functions work in Progress of a - like they call it a 'native mode DLL' but I have some problems where I could use some help ;-)
The function expects a "Window handle of a text control"
As far as I know that means the <widget>:hwnd,
The problem is that the widget that I use is a System.Windows.Forms.TextBox and there is nu hwnd-property for that so I tried with:
define variable phwnd as System.IntPtr no-undo.
assign phwnd = TextBox1:handle.
Can someone confirm me that this TextBox1:handle is the same as the hwnd of that widget??
If not: how can I get the hwnd of a System.Windows.Forms.TextBox control?
The second problem are some other parameters that I need to provide.
In the example (VB) I see:
Global Const SSCE_IGNORE_CAPPED_WORD_OPT = &H1&
Global Const SSCE_IGNORE_MIXED_CASE_OPT = &H2&
Global Const SSCE_IGNORE_MIXED_DIGITS_OPT = &H4&
I converted these to
&global define ...
But how must I convert the values??? I guess &H1& will not work in Progress
Also the function that I want to use expects the following as a input parameter: Options bit-mask
As far as I understand that is a combination of all global Const (see above) that I want to use, so for example &H1& and &H4&. So I guess I will need to sum up all the wanted values. I'm I correct here?
Hope someone can help here because I only get the error that the data-types do not match but no idea what parameter is wrong (the hwnd or the option bit-mask)
regards
Didier
The .NET Handle property is the equivalent of the ABL HWND attribute.
Hexadecimal values can be used in OpenEdge with the 0x prefix (zero, not the letter O)::
&GLOBAL-DEFINE SSCE_IGNORE_CAPPED_WORD_OPT 0x1
&GLOBAL-DEFINE SSCE_IGNORE_MIXED_CASE_OPT 0x2
&GLOBAL-DEFINE SSCE_IGNORE_MIXED_DIGITS_OPT 0x4
In this case you can add the values to combine them because each value uses only a single bit. If the values used multiple bits you would have to use a bitwise OR to combine them.
If you post a bit of code which you're having trouble with we can help you sort it out.
Hi Matt,
Thanks to confirm that the .Net handle is the equivalent of the hwnd!
Now i did not know about these Hexadecimal values.
First I will try a bit myself.
If I can't get it to work i will post it here
Thanks
