List of new features / functionality

  

Below is a list of the key features released today:  

  • Change 17420: New property NonUpdatableColumns on SmartDatasetAdapter, Get's/set's Columns that will not get updated by UpdateRow (TRUE)  

    New property ThrowErrorsFromRetrieveData in SmartDatasetAdapter, Gets/Sets if errors from RetrieveData (in childs of this abstract class) should be THROWN or Shown from the DataAdapter class (Using ErrorHelper)   The default is to Show the error message (FALSE), not to throw it.  

    Factory method for IFetchDataRequest objects in SmartBusinessEntityAdapter: Allows creation of alternative implementations of IFetchDataRequest used by RetrieveData and OffEndHandler in preparation of calls to the ServiceAdapter  

  • Change 17411: Bug 2598: Extend .classpath feature to be able to prefix class names (when using .classpath to search just in sub-folders of the working directory). Entries in the .classpath file like the following will provide a more flexible use of the .classpath file.  

    <ClassPathRow DirectoryEntry="Consultingwerk\SmartComponentsDemo" PrefixWith="Consultingwerk.SmartComponentsDemo"/>  

    The PrefixWith entry is optional.  

  • Change 17402: Select All/Select None in Business Entity Tester, simpliefied selection of Tables in BE Tester  

  • Change 17393: Ability to set CustomContext in Business Entity Tester  

  • Change 17390: Bug 2609: Added protected property FilterUsingInnerJoin to the DataAccess class.  Purpose: Instructs the Query-Builder in method BuildQueryString to remove an eventually present OUTER-JOIN keyword from the source default query when filtering on a ceratin table.  Notes: This allows to filter for Customers by SalesRep fields in a Query: 

    • FOR EACH Customer, FIRST SalesRep OF Customer OUTER-JOIN  See Bug 2609 for a detailled discussion on the new functionality  

  • Change 17387: 10.2B03 and 10.2B04 compatible assembly references  

  • Change 17384: SmartBusinessEntityAdapter and SmartDatasetAdapter optimization.  When the current (new) FetchQueryString equals to the last used FetchQueryString, we would be reading the same data again - which is of no use to the user and would only cause additional traffic.  This might have happened on the grand-child DataAdapter of a SmartBusinessEntityAdapter changing the current record.  

  • Change 17381: Logging of ServiceInterface requests  

  • Change 17375: LogManagerErrorHandler that implements IErrorHandler and writes error messages to the client logfile  

  • Change 17374: LogManager method to log Progress.Lang.Error objects to the client log file  

  • Change 17370: Full-Window drag for MessageBox forms  

  • Change 17369: 10.2B04:Fix for  

    System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt. 

    • bei Progress.ClrBridge.BrgClrToPro.InvokeMethod(Int32 , Int32 , String , Int32 , Object[] , Int32[] , Type[] , Object )  

      bei Consultingwerk.SmartComponentsDemo.CustomerExplorer.Customer.CustomerDetailForm.OnFormClosed(FormClosedEventArgs ) in AblProxy.cs:Zeile 53.  

      bei System.Windows.Forms.Form.WmClose(Message& m)  

      bei System.Windows.Forms.Form.WndProc(Message& m)  

      bei Progress.Windows.Form.WndProc(Message& m)  

      bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m)  

      bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)  

      bei System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)  

  • Change 17365: Do not delete Forms in OnFormClosed that are modal (started with ShowDialog ()). Typically Dialogs need to return values to the calling Program after they have been closed. This requires that the dialog form is valid after the WAIT-FOR ShowDialog statement. (Follow up on Progress Support Solution p179041).  Dialog Forms are detected using the Modal property.  

  • Change 17360: Ability to configure the default service interface path in products.t  

  • Change 17349: CustomContext support in ServiceAdapter and ServiceInterface  New event AfterInitializeBusinessEntityAdapter of the SmartBusinessEntityAdapter that allows setting of custom / dynamic attributes of the SmartBusinessEntityAdapter used by the lookup control and dialog

  • Change 17316: Simplified constructor to FetchDataRequest class  

  • Change 17278: Simplify Full-Window drag using Consultingwerk.Util.Forms.FullWindowDragManager.cls  

  • Change 17277: Parenting of Lookup Dialogs to Lookup:FindForm()  

  • Change 17275: Property for custom context in FetchDataRequest and IFetchDataRequest  All properties in IFetchDataRequest are NO-UNDO now.  

  • Change 17263: Ability to override creation and deletion of the SmartBusinessEntityAdapter in the SmartBusinessEntityLookup, ISmartBusinessEntityLookupDialog implementation allowing to use a custom LookupDialog with the SmartBusinessEntityLookup Control

  • Change 17190: Set DeleteOnFormClosed = FALSE for Dialog-Forms.  

  • Change 17178: Cleanup for BaseForm instances on FormClosed.  See Progress K-Base Entry ID: P179041  Title: "User Controls that have events attached to them cause parent forms to not get garbage collected"  

    Added a new property that defaults to True DeleteOnFormClosed. This allows to prevent the Form from deleting itself in OnFormClosed.

  • Change 17152: Compare old and new value before raising OnLookupKeyValueChanged event  

  • Change 17130: LogManager: AppServers do always have a client logfile, but LOG-MANAGER:LOGFILE-NAME returns ?  

  • Change 17116: Generate XSD from business entity designer  

  • Change 17040: Error-Handing if parent widget not valid in FindChildWidgetByName and FindChildWidgetByType

    • - Bindable Attribute  - Category Attribute  - Description Attribute  

  • Change 16883: In EndInit the LaunchDatasetController should not be created, when there is already an instance. This could be the case, when a SmartBusinessEntityAdapter instance is used in a Form that's a base Form of another Form and a DatasetController is used.

  • Change 16707: StyleLibraryHelper
