Forms do not show in Leopard (MacOS)

Hi Graham,

Can you also test if Servoy 3.1.7 works on Leopard. I have to wait till monday to be able to install my release version but on the last beta (pre-GM) it doesn’t work correctly. Regular fields don’t draw and such.

Hi Robert

Installed fresh copy of 3.1.7 and had mixed results with the demo solutions: Start_Here and …tree_control worked fine but all the others had blank panels.

On CRM the LH Company List in [tabs_nav] does not show, the next layer down [tabs_solNav] is also blank - however when you go down the two levels of Tab Panels to the base form it displays fine on its own.

Sorry - probably not what you wanted to hear - but the CRM does work fine in 3.5.2.

Regards

Graham

Hi Graham,

Thanks for testing. I guess for using 3.1.x (and even 2.2.x) we have to wait till Apple put that last minute patch out that Jan Aleman was talking about.
I still have clients who run 2.2.x and 3.1.x so I need to be able to run these versions to support them.

No problem it was an interesting exercise.

I guess that clients who are still on 2.2 are not the type to rush out and upgrade to the latest OSX in week one.

Initial impressions of Leopard are very good. The reflective glass dock seems a waste of effort but Finder and Spotlight are much better and overall gives the impression of being faster than Tiger.

2.2 and 3.1 indeed suffer from the same bug. We are investigating if they can be patched too as we don’t expect Apple to fix it very soon.

Hi John & Robert

Failed so far I’m afraid. Parallels kept reporting that the Leopard disc was ‘not bootable’ and couldn’t get past an early stage.

Will try with VMWare Fusion later though I expect much the same result as when I upgraded my wife’s MacBook to Leopard last night the first 40mins of the upgrade process is just ‘verifying the disk’. However, once the upgrade had finished I downloaded Servoy 3.5.2 and it just worked :slight_smile:

As I stated before Apple does not allow their OS to be virtualized and vmware and parallels have built this ‘rule’ in to their systems. From a technical point it is easy to still do it but it’s illegal.

Thank you!

Have a look here: http://www.macworld.co.uk/mac/news/inde … wsid=19525

Apple still has a very strong commitment to Java. Don’t forget that all their back office and front-office applications are built in Java (Store, itunes music store, etc, etc)

The glitch in Leopard for which we patched was very minor and will make it into their next release, if that doesn’t happen soon we will see if, and how fast, we can patch 3.1 and 2.2.

Question of the week: which of the following products now officially supports Leopard? Servoy, 4D, Omnis, Filemaker Pro, FoxPro, MS Access, Progress, Uniface, Alpha 5, Oracle Forms, Delphi. Hint: you can only pick one.

Maybe something’s changing…

Well… reading that carefully it looks more like a lawyer glitch than Apple supporting virtualization. Their main reason is obviously that they don’t want anybody to run their OS on ugly hardware… Once you allow virtualization there is no way of stopping that.
