By the way Chris, which is the proper way to pipe my plugins? I use this method:

1. Create the class in a separate file eg: MyCustomToolPad.prg
2. Create a class that inherits from Plugin
2.1 Create an atribute of type MyCustomToolPad eg: oCustomToolPad
2.2 Create an instance of MyCustomToolPad ...

Thanks Chris, it worked!

Hi Chris,

I'm trying to build an Entity Viewer Plugin but I can't detect when a file is opened in order to update my plugin internal entity listbox and refresh the Pad. Here's what I got so far...


USING Xide.PluginSystem
USING System.Drawing
USING System.Windows.Forms


CLASS EntityViewerPad ...

Hi Chris,

In my case, the content inside TEXT/ENDTEXT should be treated as a literal string because I'm not specifying the TEXTMERGE command to parse what it is between angle brackets <<...>>

For example:

TEXT TO lcString
<<hello>>
END TEXT
?lcString // this prints out <<hello>>

VAR hello ...

Hi there,

I'm getting the error XS9002: Parser: unexpected input '{' in this line of code:

VAR lcMacro := "IMPLEMENT_OLECREATE(<<class>>, <<external_name>>,
0x{0:X8}, 0x{1:X4}, 0x{2:X4}, 0x{3:X2}, 0x{4:X2}, 0x{5:X2}, 0x{6:X2}, 0x{7:X2}, 0x{8:X2}, 0x{9:X2}, 0x{10:X2});"

Note that is a literal ...

Hi Chris,

This is my custom list:

1. SDK projects, Multi Targeting and Creating Nuget packages
2. Using X# to the max (including the Plugin system)
3. Using XIDE to the max:
4. X# Notebooks
5. VFP Migration
6. Using your own Cloud database
7. PowerShell as the X# developers best friend
8 ...

Can you give an example of the query that you are using?

Robert


Hi @Robert, sure.

LOCAL lnHandle := SQLSTRINGCONNECT("Driver={SQL Server};Server=the_server;Database=the_db;Uid=sa;Pwd=secret;") AS LONG
IF lnHandle > 0
TRY
VAR lnResult := SQLEXEC(lnHandle, "SELECT top 10 * FROM ...

1. I'm using 2.20.0.3 and SQLEXEC() always returns -1 even when the query is ok. @robert Is that a bug?
2. SQLEXEC() just works with the old SQL Server driver, I'm testing it against the following drivers:
1. SQL Server -> Works
2. SQL Server Native Client 10.0 -> Does not work
3. SQL Server ...

Thanks @robert,

I've created the issue.

Hi,

Why TEXT/ENDTEXT with TEXTMERGE doesn't evaluate PARAMETERS variables?

Eg:


METHOD SomeMethod(tcFileName1 AS STRING, tcFileName2 AS STRING) AS VOID
LOCAL lcOutput := "" AS STRING
TEXT TO lcOutput NOSHOW TEXTMERGE
COPY FILE "<<tcFileName1>>" TO "<<tcFileName2>>"
ENDTEXT
END METHOD ...
