Application Framework Topic

Can someone help? I have introduced a new program into our network, using the Application Framework that is available within Paradox 8. On my computer there is a splash screen that tells you the name of the Program and what version it is at etc, however, on all the other computers on the network the splash screen does not appear even though it does on mine! We are all executing the same .exe file. Can anyone help? Cheers

Hi,I bought the office X5 professional, I have the paradox 9 developer too, my question is.. how  can I do my application (exe) developed whit  paradox 9 runs in paradox 11 Is it posible? I think Need news libraries, to fw , but where I  can find them

Dear Mike?, I have been working with your book and have come to , the chapter on AF. For some reason I do not have the , Application choice on my menu as described in the book, but I seem to have an application frameworks folder with lots of stuff in my Paradox 9 folder. Is there any way of activating that so that the Application choice appears in the main menu?, I apologise if this is old stuff, but I just started working with it., Thanks,, Dave Axtell

I just created an application using the Application Framework in Pdox9... All went fine except.. I have a report that is to print off of a button. A query is run and a table created that report is based on. Then report is supposed to be printed., , Very simple... r.print("reportname"), , WILL NOT DO IT., , Same code works fine in a form that is not App Framework generated. , , I can use r.open("reportname") and it will work except that it opens behind the form because the form is model., , ANY SUGGESTIONS????

{Too Long!}

Out of interest, in view of AF being dropped from P10 are you still advocating it's use by way of the book and of course the PCC which strongly reccommends using it?, rt

Our company inherited an accounting application when we took back the servicing of one of our investment portfolios. It appears this application was built using Paradox 8's Application Framework. Unfortunately, I am unable to access the original alias so that I can launch App. Framework's utility, make a couple of modifications to one of the forms. I read the warning in your Power Programming book about making any changes to forms outside of AF. What is your best advice in approaching this assignment?

I'm trying to finish up a PDOX9 FrameWork project I've been working on for some time now... and if I Deliver the Forms, Scripts and Libraries... the FrameWork app crashes because it's looking for the *.*sl version of the files. I haven't hard coded the extensions of any of these files in the code... so I have no idea why the FW code is looking for them. Has anyone else experianced this anomily?, , Thanks

I am trying to get familiar with concept and benefits of Application Framework as per Paradox 9, but it's slow going. (I guess I am missing something about it.) Anyway, at this stage, a couple of behaviors I am not comfortable with:, , 1) When I execute the app, a "splash" form with "Paradox Presents" appears briefly. Can that be eliminated?, , 2) After the app is open, and as I move the mouse around the window, I can ascertain that things are "happening", because the screen, title bar and mouse arrow all "flicker" (i.e. must be some mouse-move event taking place). What's that, and how can I eliminate/disable that "default" event, whatever it is?, , Thanks for your input., , (BTW, Mike Prestwood, if you read this, your book(s) is (are) *awesome*, and I would have altogether given up on Paradox long ago, had I not had them!)

In Mikes book,it states that the default forms in fw folder can be altered, which is what I did, and by using the 'Application Event Expert' I also incuded some code on the canArrive method of the appDesk.fsl , , Everything works great., , The problem I have is useing the PDE. One of the PDE options is to use the Application Framework, but, by doing this the default forms and libaries seems to point to the Pde Framework., , Also all the forms revert to the system color., , Is there a way to get the PDE to use the current application framework setting that I have, and also to keep the form color settings., , Hope somebody can help me, , Rob

I had created a simple application framework program in Paradox 8. Then, after upgrading to Paradox 9, was moderately successful in converting forms to a new program using tips from Mike P's Paradox 9 Power Programming guide. Was almost done, when I started getting these error messages when attempting to add a form to a menu:, , "objectNew: Couldn't create a new object with prompting., , objectNewFromProperties: Couldn't create a new object from the properties., , objectNewFromPropertiesParadox: Couldn't create a new paradox object from the properties., , formNew: Couldn't create new form., , Could not write to file.", , I'm on a NT4.0 Workstation with SP6. It sounds like a permissions problem, but which file? Possibly the menu file?, , Thanks, , , Ed

Is it possible to deliver an application designed thru the Application Framework tool so that these applications are ready for distribution?, , And if so, how?
