Message: Pop up keyboard
I have a new problem with the pen*key 6300 is about the pop up keybooard and system messagge that penright would display in the middle of the screen.
The penright don't remember the second time that i run the application that the screen is only 320 pixel wide and put the keyboard outside of the screen.
I have written my application in 2 EXE files that call them self and the comunication program PSROM0C, so i need to run more than once my application.
In the penright manual I don't find any eplanation about the x and y parameters that we indicate in the PENR!API command line.
If you know the problem or other people that have the same problem let me know as soon as possible.

Message: MsAllocate and SetListChoiceRead...
It seems that there 's a bug with the user-defined verbs given by penright!
SetListChoiceRead("filename",formId , listId ) as a matter of fact it allocate memory
for the string 'str' which will receive the list items from the file
and then use LstSetListChoice but after they don't Free this memory...!!!
if you have a small amount of available memory and a big list you may have some
troubles if you use this verb ! just had a MsFree( &str, &error ) and it should be ok ...

Christophe... You are correct! We went back and looked at the user verbs example we ship

The info on the EHT-30/40 was mistyped. The correct info is as follows:
To use the full screen in Portrait mode you can use 0,320 as your starting coordinates,
and a size of 200, 320. You will also want to use the SetDisplayOrientation(3) verb
to rotate all forms to the portrait orientation on the unit.
If you are using the EHT-40 be sure to load our MODE3.EXE program

This question is not specific to PenRight!, but as pen developers perhaps
you can give me a suggestion or five. ;-) When should I pursue a
pen-based solution as opposed to a more conventional, non-pen-based
solution. Although there are many environments into which pen-based
solutions are finding their way, I am curious what it is that makes a
an application particularly suited to a pen-based solution.

Ray! Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, they are still absent from the list of verbs in
PenRight! for Windows 1.0. This has been noted, and will NOT be the case for 2.0. In fact,
I think you will be fairly impressed with the number of improvements as far as that is
concerned. These calls ARE still there in PenRight! for DOS and PenRight! for Windows,
they just haven't been externalized by putting them in the list. In fact, if you really

Message: GPF when using Integrated Debug Environment of Turbo C++
I am using PenRight! Pro version 3.6 with Borland Turbo C++ version 3.0. I have recently
encountered an error I'm hoping you can shed some light upon.
I'm using the database functions and everything was working fine until I added an index
to my database file. Now, when I create the database with DbmCreate, everything gets
created including the .mdx file as expected. However, the next time I run the program,
a general protection fault occurs at the DbmOpen command. This happens only within the Integrated
Debug Environment (IDE) of Turbo C++, regardless of whether I am running it in Windows
or DOS. Running the .exe file directly from Windows or DOS works with no problems.
I can run the program in the IDE when I remove the index file. But within the IDE and
with the index file, it crashes. It says it encountered a GPF at 3C54:2488 but looking
at my map file, my program is nowhere near this.

Message: Status of PenRight! for Windows
Ed,
The PenRight! for Windows 1.x demo was generated using Borland 4.0. This was created roughly 2 years ago prior to the 5.x release. As far as the non demo PenRight! environment goes, you can use most compilers. As an example, we support Borland versions 3.0 up to the current 5.x version for code generation.
On another note I would like to mention that we will soon be releasing the PenRight! for Windows 2.0 product. Unlike the 1.x version which was basically an importer allowing you to take a PR 3.x DOS code and generate windows applications, the 2.0 tool is a FULL featured development environment complete with mobile wizards, VBX support, many new design features and ease of use.
For more marketing information regarding our 2.0 product please contact Chris Temple. Our main number here at PenRight! is: (510) 249-6900

This would double memory requirements for the database. OR is there an efficient was to process purely ascii files, updateing records, searching certain fields for a value, appending records?

Message: Found a bug.
During application development I have discovered an error in the PenRight documentation.
In the API reference guide version A, issue date May 1995 for PenRght! for Windows, on
page 2-26 in the description for ReturnFromForm, it states "This function erases the
currently active form, pops the last form Id off of the form stack, and generates a
frmOpenEvent for this form." Unfortunately, this is not true. I was having memory
problems with my app so I implemented a memory saving procedure mentioned on this site
which called for calling FreeForm upon each window's winExitEvent to free the memory the
window uses. This requires each form's data to be reloaded which wasn't a problem because
I already had routines to do this tied to each form's frmOpenEvent. However, upon testing
the app, I discovered that the forms displayed blank when entered by a ReturnFromForm
and only displayed their data when entered by a goto form. At first this didn't seem like
a big problem as I could just change all my ReturnFromForm's to GotoForm's but then after
thinking about it for a while, this solution seems like it would eventually fill up and
overflow the form stack causing corruption. I think my final solution will be to go to
protected mode with PharLap. If anyone else has any similar bug discoveries or tips
and tricks, please email me.
Also, anyone have any idea when a new version of Penright! for Windows will be coming out?
Possibly with updated, improved, more thorough documentation.

We have the RF component of the system in and working but now need an application. For more information contact me via E-Mail or phone at (409) 538-8145 or FAX at (409) 538-8189.

Mike,
Chris Temple here from PenRight! marketing to explain the PenRight! for Windows v2.0 (PRW)
product and its capabilities. PRW v2.0 has the ability from within its visual Windows based
environment to create DOS, DOS Protected Mode and Windows applications from the same appliction
design. For instance if your creating an application for the EHT-40 you would definelty select
the DOS options when compiling your application.
By the way PenRight! for Windows 2.0 is in stock and is now shipping! If you or any PenRight!
forum participant haven't received the direct mail piece announcing the product and all
its new featuers please e-mail me your mailing address and I will make sure one is sent
to you immediately. If anyone has questions please feel free to email me.

Message: Penright for DOS and C++
hi,
I have put together a EHT30 app using Penright for DOS.
Separately I have developed the business rules of the app in Borland C++ 4.51
I now am trying to link the two together in the IDE.
I get a raft of undefined symbol messages from the linker. All of which are Penright 'window' symbols.
eg 'FRMGETFIELDID'
This happens even if the penright c file is the only node in the project.
I can compile the node successfully with Borland IDE and then link it successfully at the command prompt using the Penright make file.
But I can't seem to get Borland to either generate a suitable make file or link the obj.
Would like to hear from anybody who has strung C++ objs and their Penright c obj together.
(yes my c obj successfully does a c++ compile.) It is only the linking that is stopping me.
Thanks
Bob

Message: EHT30 && Borland C++
Having just been through the mill I thought others might appreciate the results.
Using Penright for DOS and Borland C++.
1) Don't use the BIDS for container classes. Write your own stack list etc. There is a documented bug that the DOS BIDS still make some windows calls. It causes murder and mayhem when to try to mate your C++ back end to the Penright Front End.
This applies for C++ 4.51, 4.52, 5.0ab, 5.02
2) If you are using 5.02 don't use the Rogue Wave STL as is for your containers, apparently the headers are for 32 bit apps. There is some sort of workaround but I had already written my own by then so never explored it.
3) How to get it all to go.
A) Alter Penright.h so that you can use c++ code. There is a doc on how to do it on the Penright Web site.
B)Pull a printout of the make file that your Penright front end generates.
Find the section of that specifies which penright libs are used and add those to your c++ project.
C) Add two new tools to your project (Options tools new) These are FrmBuild and RscBuild. You can see them and their command lines in the make file printout.
D) Add all of the .rsc files to your project.
E) Add your Penright c file to the project. At this point the project should compile and link.
(Both a c compile and a c++ compile for the penright c file should work.)
To join the Penright c file to your c++ business functions put a conditional compile statement in the global window of Penright codeestart. eg.
#ifdef __cplusplus
#include master.h
#endif
master.h contains global vars and functions which activate the c++ backend.
This means you can have a c++ maintest.cpp to test the functionality of the c++ code, when you are happy with c++ behaviour just delete testmain from the project and add your
Penright c back in. When you do a c++ compile of it it will hook in master.h and it shold all go.

I have just succeeded in developing an app using the above.
It was disaster ridden and frustrating. All the problems were to do with which version of Borland C++ and how it was configured.
If anybody wants I can email them a sheet of the problems I found to save them some grief.

A strange bug appeared in my application I have developped, sometimes ( and not often : that the problem
to find out the solution ) a field of a database I use is corrupted and a ASCII caracter '->'
appear in a field and cause some troubles to all the dbase file.
And sometimes instead of corrupting the field it changes a file name !
for instance last time it changed my "project.rsc" by "-> .rsc" and then cause a penright error
9021 ( of course... the name has changed... )
Could anyone tell me what kind of error caused that ?
Any Information would be greatly appreciated...

Message: Customizing the pop-up keyboard in PenRight!
Carlos,
Are you interested in modifying the physical characteristics of the keyboard (size, look
and feel)or changing the functionality of the standard keyboard? PenRight! can assist you
with both requests but need to understand what it is you need and provide you with the
appropriate PenRight! directories for the customization process. Additionally, you will
need the appropriate PenRight! runtime license to run your application on the the EHT-30.
The runtime license can be purchased pre-loaded on a flash memory card (PC Card) or with
the standard PenRight! runtime package. One runtime license is to be purchased for each
handheld running PenRight! applications. I would suggest looking into the PC Card/PenRight!
bundle offer because of the ease of use and attractive cost savings. One last note; when
designing applications for the EHT-30, be aware that the version of DOS running on that
particular unit doesn't support some of the standard DOS calls required by the codebase
database libraries. As a result we suggest writing databases for the EHT-30 in a flat or
straight ASCII file format.
