Good grief, this caused me all kinds of headaches. I really, really don't like Javascript, but sometimes its the only way to get stuff done. The main problem is that I need to transpose the list, basically make the top row columns and the first column rows. I could not figure out a way to do this in...

I am trying to get a widget to display some summary data. What I'm struggling with getting my data shaped in a way that can be presented in a Google Line Chart. I have data that looks like this, where each month is a calculated value (all in a List definition). def_list name(#Trendlines) fields(#wk_...

Do the developers still pay attention to this board? The board description mentions that all entries will acknowledged, but a lot of these go unacknowledged. In case they do, it would be nice to have a free format text block in the IDE editor. The editor is VERY demanding with its spacing and indent...

Huh, I have no idea how I missed that.

Thanks!

I just noticed that the VLF-ONE Example Applications has a deeper menu structure then the other apps. See how under "Example Applications" there is a Foundation menu item and then the Object menus. Capture.PNG How do you get this other menu item (Foundation, Advanced Use Cases) in the Framework? Tha...

It sounds like you are trying to drill down into Orders -> Order Details & Order Lines -> Order Line Details. Order Details and Order Lines can all be shown in the Commands for the Order Instance, i.e. one command for Details, one command for Lines. Where you will run into a problem is when you want...

We do this with a popup window in our VLF-ONE app Capture.PNG The navigation list is pretty simple define_com class(#PRIM_PPNL) name(#NavigationPopup) LayoutManager(#NavigationPopupLayout) TitleBar(True) TitleBarThemeDrawStyle('PopupTitleBar') Left(633) Top(40) Height(225) define_com class(#PRIM_MD....

We use Integrator's PDFDocumentService quite a bit. After the initial shock of having to write the XML template, it really is not that bad and most of my templates are pretty small. There is some trial and error involved to get the spacing right, but after a couple you tend to get an idea of what's ...

Please remove the localhost throttling in VLWEB. I can't tell you how many times I am working through a scenario and everything locks up it waits for the a throttled request to complete. This is VERY frustrating as I think something has gone wrong only to realize I am fighting VLWeb's runtime. In Ch...

Chrome thinks the scripts are blocking the UI to much. There are quite a few posts on StackOverflow about it mainly from a couple years ago when Chrome introduced the feature. Here are a couple: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43274361/violation-readystatechange-handler-took-760ms-after-update-t...

Oh man, that would be nice! I know that other frameworks (Angular, React, Ember, Vue etc.) have solved this, but I don't know how they have done so. I don't know how you would make the underlying details work but these are my thoughts from a VLF-ONE developer perspective. I think that each Applicati...

+1 on visibility into lists and collections.

If I just leave the querystring in place and DO NOT call uTerminate then it works.
I'm assuming then that this is safe to do, not calling uTerminate when the page closes.

I contacted support who in turn contacted the developers about this. Here is their response Joe is correct in his concerns about multiple processes. The tracing object will be instantiated by the first object to run on the server, and it will open, and lock the file being written to. So when another...

A lot of our users are complaining about hitting the back space in VLF-ONE and it taking them back a page like the back button. I recognize that this is a browser issue and that Chrome removed that "feature" and FireFox has a way to disable it. IE and Edge however still behave that way and a lot of ...

When using a trace handler that implements #PRIM_APP.iTraceHandler the example the docs show uses an incrementing file counter. Something like this Mthroutine Name(GetNextFile) Access(*Private) Define_Map For(*Result) Class(#Prim_alph) Name(#Result) Define_Com Class(#prim_nmbr) Name(#Extension) Begi...

I am getting the same behavior. Although I have noticed when you select a date in the previous or next month, the whole month display changes and the day selected has primary style whereas the cell that you clicked has a secondary theme. Here it's defaulted to today (June 10th). Capture1.PNG Then se...

I may be missing something specific to your scenario, but you can use XPRIM_HttpRequest from a Function. I have not tried on the IBM i in a batch process, but I don't see why it would not work. This is Function that makes a simple HTTP request to Google and I get the response back. function options(...

If you are trying to read the body of a request, and its JSON, you can use the PRIM_JSON_Document. Here is an example of reading POSTDATA from a request. The POSTDATA contains an array of "links". Note the APIContext seen here is a helper class that formats the proper response codes and messages. de...

Are you referring to executing from an actual Function (ie. in a Process) or just executing from a server side component? I've done it using XPRIM_HTTPRequest wrapped in a Server Side Reusable Part which is called from the Server Module. I assume the same would work inside a Function. Regarding the ...
