Release Notes

Following the release of the OpenEdge 11.7 Release we have completed our testing of the SmartComponent Library on this release of Progress and are proud to announce formal support for the SmartComponent Library on OpenEdge 11.7 with the 2017-04-24 release of the SmartComponent Library. Generally we recommend customers on OpenEdge 11 to upgrade to OpenEdge 11.7 quickly. Starting the 2017-07-14 release we are supporting OpenEdge 11.7 Service Pack 1 (11.7.1).

Starting the 2015-10-09 release the Business Entity Designer will feature a start page with links to most recent release note articles on this site.

With SCL-751 we have adopted native Enums for OpenEdge 11.6. To activate this feature customers must add a definition to products.i. SCL-751 provides details for this.

With SCL-1113 we have modified the templates for SmartWindowForms and SmartTabFolderPages generated from the Business Entity Designer. We have removed the initialization of the viewer controls SmartTableIOState property (value was set to "NoDataSource" within the InitializeComponent method). Customers using their own set of templates should adopt the same fix to their templates.

OpenEdge 11.7.3 compatibility

During our tests on OpenEdge 11.7.3 we have experienced the following issues:

[SCL-2216] - 11.7.3 Visual Designer disabling properties of ABL user controls

The issue has been resolved by Progress Software with hotfix 007 for OpenEdge 11.7.3.

OpenEdge 11.7.2 compatibility

During our tests on OpenEdge 11.7.2 we have experienced two issues:

[SCL-2007] - Correct support for WebHandler in CcsServiceManager
[SCL-2008] - Closing SmartWindowForm causes crash on OpenEdge 11.7.2

We consider it mandatory for customers using OpenEdge 11.7.2 to use at least the release #44166@2017-11-27 of the SmartComponent Library.

Due to an fix for

[SCL-1924] - SmartViewerControl: copy mechanism cannot cope with clob datatype

from Progress Software for in OpenEdge 11.7.2.001 we further recommend all customers to apply this hotfix as well.

New Versions of Proparse .NET Assemblies (30 December 2018)

We have updated proparse with further enhancements in this release (see https://github.com/consultingwerk/proparse/releases/tag/4.0.1.1177). Please download the .NET Assemblies ZIP file from our ESD and replace the proparse.net.dll in your environment with the latest one. The new assembly reference is:

<assembly name="proparse.net, Version=4.0.1.1177, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cda1b098b1034b24"/>

As proparse is used by our Business Entity Generator, this new version of the proparse.net Assembly is also relevant for customers not doing GUI for .NET development and require support for parsing new ABL language constructs.

This version of proparse provides additional debug information when errors are thrown from proparse.net.dll.

New Version of the Consultingwerk.SmartComponents Assemly (09 January 2019)

To support the new SmartFilterControl and the "Filter" link between the SmartFilterControl/SmartDynamciFilterControl and a SmartBusinessEntityAdapter or SmartDatasetChildAdapter we have updated the Consultingwerk.SmartComponents.dll. The new Assembly reference is:

<assembly name="Consultingwerk.SmartComponents, Version=2.2.0.49856, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=10603cb31df311b3"/>

Customers need to update this Assembly in order to compile the latest releases of the SmartComponent Library.

Hybrid Realm now using IAuthenticationService

We've updated the SmartHybridRealm class used for http authentication to leverage the IAuthenticationService. It is therefor required that for AppServers requiring http Authentication (e.g. REST or Web) the correct IAuthenticationService implementation is registered (using service.xml files).

Customers relying on the previous behavior should ensure that the Consultingwerk.SmartFramework.Authentication.AuthenticationService is regsitered as the IAuthenticationService. This implementation will auhtenticate users against the password stored in the SmartUser database table.

When users with no Login Company set should be able to login using the SmartHybridRealm, it's required to set the Login Company Tennant Domain (similar to the field in the Login Company Maintenance) in the .restapplicationsettings / .applicationsettings, e.g.:

 "DefaultAuthenticationDomain": "consultingwerk"

This is required as the Hydrid Realm Interface from Progress does not provide the domain name to the authentication method.

SCL-3969 RenameMove:AddUsingStatement was failing if there have not been any using statement yet

Description:

We have resolved an issue in the RenameMove class that was causing the following error message when processing a class file that did not have any USING statements yet.

“Lead attributes in a chained-attribute expression (a:b:c) must be type HANDLE or a user-defined type and valid (not UNKNOWN). (10068) 2Invalid handle. Not initialized or points to a deleted object. (3135)”

SCL-3982 Drag and Drop issue with Legacy GUI Frame Migration from VS Code

Description:

We have resolved an issue caused by a different FileDrop data format used by VS Code compared to the Windows Explorer and Progress Developer Studio. Developers can not drag and drop files from VS Code to tools like the Legacy GUI Frame Migration.

SCL-3983 Resolved issue with setting STATIC Property Consultingwerk.SmartComponents.Base.SmartWindowFormController:MapEnterKeyToTab via JSON startup file

Description:

We have resolved an issue in the Consultingwerk.Framework.StaticProperties class that was causing in issue with setting LOGICAL properties such as Consultingwerk.SmartComponents.Base.SmartWindowFormController:MapEnterKeyToTab via JSON startup file.

SCL-3984 Repository Integrity Report was showing multiple issues in deployment

Description:

We have fixed the data dump directory of various product modules of the SmartFramework product to ensure the dumped .smartrepo files are loaded by the SmartDB setup and migration routine when a customer updates the SmartComponent Library release.

Improvement

SCL-3942 Stop conditions are handled by the scheduler runtime

Description:

Stop conditions (such as STOP-AFTER timeouts) are caught by the scheduler runtime and printed to the log. The scheduler runtime continues to process planned jobs.

There are certain uncatchable stop conditions in ABL; if these are raised then the scheduler runtime will terminate.

SCL-3947 Implemented error message "A User with that Name already exists!" based on SmartMessage

Description:

We have implemented the validation error message raised by the SmartUserDataAccess class when a user already exists (global user vs. user in a specific login company) now as SmartMessage SFR:218

SCL-3949 The KeepAliveService does not attempt to query an AppServer, when none is connected

Description:

When the Consultingwerk.SmartComponents.Implementation.KeepAliveService detects that there is no AppServer connected on the default partition, the service writes a {{No AppServer connected, AppServer keep alive service disabled}} message to the log, and prevents the service from querying the AppServer on a regular schedule.

The service still keeps running.

SCL-3965 Implemented Data Field rendering view-as "text"

Description:

We have implemented support for rendering data fields with the view-as attribute set to “text” as UltraLabels instead of UltraTextEditor controls.

SCL-3966 Implemented support for rendering dataRequestedHandler property for Smart Lookup fields

Description:

We have added support for rendering the dataRequestHandler property of the Angular SmartLookup component to the repository rendering routines .

Description:

We have implemented support for the disableAutocomplete attribute of the Angular SmartLookup to the SmartFramework repository rendering routines.

SCL-3968 Implemented support for rendering dataRequestedHandler property for Smart Data Source (Angular)

Description:

We have added support for rendering the dataRequestHandler property of the Angular SmartDataSource to the repository rendering routines.

SCL-3972 SmartWindowForm's MapEnterKeyToTab now also includes UltraCheckEditor

Description:

We have extended the MapEnterKeyToTab feature of the SmartWindowFormController class to also handle the Enter key on an UltraCheckEditor.

Description:

The SmartLookupSettings class now supports the definition of an alternative lookup dialog shortcut key based on modifier keys ALT, Ctrl and Shift. Additional logical properties have been added to the SmartLookupSettings class.

SCL-3974 Support for AllowTabClosing attribute on MetaTabFolder

Description:

We have implemented support for the UltraTabControls AllowTabClosing Attribute to the SmartFramework repository.

SCL-3975 SmartWindowFormControllers MapEnterKeyToTab now allows to ignore certain controls

Description:

We have introduced the marker Interface Consultingwerk/SmartComponents/Interfaces/IDontMapEnterKeyToTab that can be implemented by UserControls or inherited Controls. Controls implementing this Interface will ignored by the MapEnterKeyToTab Feature of the SmartWindowFormController class.

SCL-3976 Added ControlHelper method to locate the last field by tab order

Description:

We have implemented a new method in the ControlHelper to determine the last Editor field in a SmartViewer based on the TabOrder.

SCL-3977 Added GetAsyncKeyState to Win32 API class

Description:

We have added the GetAsyncKeyState API of the USER32.dll to the Win32 API Wrapper class. See

https://administrator.de/tutorial/getasynckeystate-in-csharp-verwenden-151540.html or https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getasynckeystate for details.

New Feature

SCL-3956 Implement support for expandable columns in SmartGrid in the repository

Description:

We have implemented support for two new properties in the MetaGrid or MetaField:

* ExtendLastColumn is an attribute on the Grid which is implemented for both Angular and GUI for .NET rendering. When this attribute is set to TRUE (default), the last column will be set to extend to fill all available width in the grid
* NoWidthSet may be set on any grid column and will configure that column to extend to utilize the whole available space in the grid. This attribute is rendered to the Angular grid only

SCL-3981 Implemented support in the Repository for left-aligned Field Labels in GUI for .NET Viewers

Description:

Support for left-aligned field labels is implemented by settings the LabelOffset attribute for a group of Controls in the Repository to the number of pixels the labels should be placed in front of the the Control. So when a Textbox (group of text boxes) is positioned at X = 100 then the LabelOffset could set set to 95 to achieve left-aligned labels.

When the Label offset is set to zero, labels will be right-aligned.

Story

SCL-3985 Update of Proparse to version 4.2.0.0

Description:

We have updated Proparse to Version 4.2.0.0 merging various previous fixes and improvements of Proparse.
