the new formInWindow is really great! :D

but if I run code inside that window, like controller.show, will that happen in THAT scope? (of that window)
and runs the window in a seperate thread? or not?

Hi Harjo,

application.ShowFormInWindow acts the same as application.showFormInDialog, with the exception of the things mentioned in the release notes

Harjo:
but if I run code inside that window, like controller.show, will that happen in THAT scope? (of that window)

this is always all ready the case.
If you are in a dialog or window and you do show of a controller in a script that “runs” in that active dialog/window it will do the show there.

Harjo:
and runs the window in a seperate thread? or not?

no all ui/js stuff runs in 1 thread.

I am testing the new authenticator solution en try to split up the login-form.
I am using the code from the tutorial.

I have a problem with the credentials which must be passed from the login_solution to the authenticator_solution.

The function onSolutionOpen(object) (authenticator_solution) is called by the login_button from the login_solution but the object (credentials login name etc) is empty. Nothing is passed to the authenticator??

Is there a working sample_solution which can be imported in the workspace and can be used for training?
The login_solution is a module from the main solution. Maybe the authenticator_solution is also a module?

Regards,

Sjoerd Hannema

I’ve updated the tutorial with references to an example implementation available from our Examples SVN, located at https://subversion.servoy.com/examples.

I’ll also update the tutorial a bit more tomorrow, to make the process a bit clearer.

It is a known issue that the tooltip in Servoy Developer for the security.authenticate() method is not displaying the correct parameters. For now have a look at the example solution.

Paul

Example solution is working.

The onSolutionOpen(object) was the problem. Object-data is not received in authenticator with the solution OnOpen method.
When you call the method directly from the login solution (with the name) it is working OK.

The import of a solution in the Application Server takes much more time than in version 5.1.3. After import it is working OK but the import takes +/- 5 times longer.
Is this a database problem with version 5.1.2 and Sybase 11 or JAVA?

Regards,

Sjoerd Hannema

The import slowness will be addressed in next beta

Congratulations on the release.

I brought down the source to have a peek, and came across a couple of issues (Mac OS X). I’m wondering though if this thread is the place to post those issues or is a separate project space available/in the works?

Thanks.

Visible yes, accessible ? No.

We can see it but when trying to access it, we get:
“You do not have the required permissions to read topics within this forum.”

Just when I thought that I was an Open Source developer ;-)

Got it :oops: Should be ok now…

Yes, works now. I feel like a developer again ;-)
