You can determine which items are rendered by the Open Client in PROIV. Every Static or Dynamic screen component has a Visibility setting which determines where the field is rendered. For example, you can set the visibility of an edit box to Open Client Only ('O') which ensures that the edit box is only rendered and visited in Open Client mode.
The Visibility attribute is set in the following locations:
Dynamic objects - Behaviour tab on the Screen Function Dynamics window.
Static objects - Behaviour tab on the Screen Function Statics window.
Forms Designer - Behaviour tab on the EditBox Properties window for Statics and Dynamics objects.
PROIV Developer Property Sheets.
The Bulk Manipulation Tool can be used to set the Visibility attribute for a collection of objects. Use the tool to select the relevant screen objects, set the Set Attribute option to Display Mode of Dynamic Object, and use the To Value option to set the appropriate visibility setting.
The following properties are available for the Session and Client objects which support Open Client functionality:
|
Item |
Description |
|
Returns whether the session displays via Green Screen, Windows Client, Open Client, or does not display (i.e. in batch mode). Returned values are: NO_DISPLAY (for batch/task processes), GREEN_SCREEN, WINDOWS_CLIENT, and OPEN_CLIENT. |
|
|
Returns the unique identifier of the user logging onto the application. This is useful if you want to log detailed system access information. |
|
|
Checks to ensure that the PROIV application is connecting with a minimum version. |
|
|
Only populated when the Open Client is used. It contains the User-Agent HTTP header text which is used to identify the user's browser, or a search engine robot. |
The following logic can be pasted into an empty Update function in either the function entry/exit, or the Cycle logic to test the values:
UMSG('DisplayType=' + Session.DisplayType,-1)
UMSG('Client IP Address=' + Client.IPAddress,-1)
UMSG('Client Version=' + Client.Version,-1)
UMSG('Client UserAgent=' + Client.UserAgent,-1)
The Paging Area in Open Client has been enhanced in a variety of ways. The functionality is configured in the PROIV MFC Client (some features can also be configured in Open Client) and is implemented when you deploy your application using the Open Client technology.
Dynamic Resizing functionality enables the changing of the size and position of objects on a PROIV screen when the browser is resized by dragging the corner of the browser window, or by clicking the window's Maximise . (Pop-Up Windows can also be resized.) This applies to PROIV applications deployed using Open Client technology.
Drag and Drop functionality enables you to set up the drag and dropping of data from one PROIV Object to another in a PROIV Session using the mouse. This behaviour is supported in PROIV applications deployed using Open Client technology and only applies to Static Icons objects in PROIV.
