Supported Objects

Application object

Important Requirements

  • There can only be one Application object in an application.

  • An application cannot be given the same name as a PowerBuilder control type. For example, naming an application "datawindow", "editmask" or "commandbutton" is not supported.

  • An application name cannot be a reserved word in JavaScript. See Identifiers for more information.

  • A commandline argument in the application Open event is supported.

  • It is recommended that the use of Application object is limited to the following well-supported actions:

    1. Launching login screens.

    2. Opening and closing MDI, SDI, Main, Response and Popup windows.

    3. Creating instances of one or more transaction objects.

Additional properties of Application object

  • You can specify an icon for the application, but the icon will be displayed in PowerBuilder only and will not be displayed on Web.

  • The type of SQLCA can be a transaction user object.

  • The type of SQLSA can be a DynamicStagingArea user object.

  • The type of SQLDA can be a DynamicDescriptionArea user object.

  • The variable type MESSAGE can use the default value "message" or a user-defined message object, and you can also customize the Message object by defining a class user object inherited from the built-in Message object.

  • The specification of Error will be ignored.

MDIClient object

Important Requirements

Multiple MDI windows are supported.

Defining the size of the client area in an MDI window is supported.

If there are multiple MDI frames, the second frame window of the Web application will be loaded at a much slower speed up to four times slower than the first one. If the first MDI is closed, the second one will not function.

When the MDI frame is closed in an Appeon-deployed application, the Web browser will also close automatically.

Menu object

Important Requirements

  • Menus can be dynamically created (for example, using the CREATE statement).

  • When a menu is dynamically created, it is unsupported to create multiple items to the menu at one time.

  • Use of Main menu should be limited to no more than five layers of submenus for a single menu item.

  • More levels of dropdown menus under a menu bar item are supported.

  • Appeon supports user-defined menu events and functions.

  • For more information on menu object, refer to: Menu Features and Toolbar Features.

Menu features

Supported

  • Menu object may be implemented with the following functionalities:

    1. Modifying menu items based on user rights using the enable and visible properties.

    2. User-defined functions in menu object.

  • It is supported to have a menu object as a structure variable, or define a structure/declare a structure instance in a menu object.

  • It is supported to declare a menu type array.

  • It is supported to qualify the item of a child menu with the class name of the parent menu.

    For example:

    m_city is the menu for the window w_citysheet, and is inherited from m_main. m_file is an item of the menu m_city.

    The following two lines of code have the same effect on the Web:

    m_main.m_file.enabled = FALSE
    m_city.m_file.enabled = FALSE
    
  • It is supported to declare a menu variable, assign value to it, and pass the variable as argument.

    For example:

    menu lm_onemenu
    lm_ onemenu = create menu
    lm_ onemenu.text = "Open a window" //or
    lm_ onemenu = m_main.m_file //or
    lm_ onemenu = m_main.Item[1].Item[1]
    
  • A window control can use the ChangeMenu function to dynamically change the menu. See the ChangeMenu function for Window control.

  • Switching between different menus is allowed. However, only one menu can be displayed at one time. For example, the MDI window menu can be dynamically refreshed when a sheet is opened or closed.

  • Append the names of open sheets (window list) to a menu item.

  • Using the UpArrow/DownArrow/LeftArrow/RightArrow to change the currently selected menu item is supported.

  • Shortcut keys for menu items are supported.

Unsupported

  • In PowerBuilder, the menu items always show in front of main window or popup window. In Web applications, the menu items may get hidden behind a main window or a popup window.

  • Different from PowerBuilder as follows: In the case of multiple Web windows loading the same menu, when a window (window A) accesses the menu object, the menu object accessed is not the menu in the window A, but the menu in the window that is most recently opened.

  • It is not supported to access the menu of the window that currently does not have focus.

Toolbar features

Supported

  • The toolbar item synchronizes with the relevant menu item. If the property of the menu item changes, the property of the toolbar item changes accordingly.

  • Multiple toolbars are supported.

  • Multiple toolbars can be displayed at the same time, but docked toolbar or toolbar toggle are not supported.

  • Toolbar can only be displayed in the MDI and MDIHelp windows.

Unsupported

  • In Web applications, the toolbars are always placed directly below the menu. The Web toolbar cannot be dragged around or placed at any other place.

  • In PowerBuilder, if the user right mouse clicks over a toolbar, a popup menu is displayed with the available options, for example: Left, Right, Floating, Show Text, Show PowerTips. The popup menu will not display in Web applications. The toolbar item cannot show text but can show PowerTips.

  • Clicking the toolbar item will not trigger the Selected event for Menu object.

  • If the ShiftToRight property is set to TRUE, menu objects may shift to right and toolbar items will automatically adjust its places according to the menu changes in PowerBuilder. However, toolbar items will not automatically adjust its places on the Web.

Transaction object

Important Requirements

The Transaction object can either be global or local. The instance transaction object is unsupported.

The user-defined Transaction object is supported.

The type of SQLCA can be transaction or transaction user object. It is supported if the user defines a transaction user object (for example, u_trans) and sets the type of SQLCA to the transaction user object (for example, u_trans).

An application can have multiple Transactions Objects, and the Transaction Objects can be connected to different type of databases.

The specification of isolation level for a database profile in PowerBuilder is not supported.

Properties for Transaction object

Appeon ignores the dynamic property settings for the data source and Transaction Object except for the AutoCommit property.

Table 197. 

Property

Support Level

Example Code

AutoCommit

Supported

sqlca.AutoCommit = lb_value

Notes:

  1. If the database server is Oracle and the driver is native driver, the AutoCommit setting is always interpreted as FALSE.

  2. The AutoCommit property is the only property that may be dynamically modified.

Database

Supported

ls_value = sqlca.Database

DBMS

Supported

ls_value = sqlca.DBMS

Appeon extends this property so it can be used to specify the database type of the data source that is used by the CacheName parameter. For values representing the different database types, refer to Table 21, “Setting the DBMS property based on the database type” in PowerServer Configuration Guide for .NET.

DBPass

Supported

 

DBParm

Supported

  • The ConnectString parameter will be ignored when executed in the mobile or Web application, because the database connection for the mobile or Web application (called data source) is configured separately in Appeon or the application server. For details, refer to Database Connection Setup in PowerServer Configuration Guide for .NET.

  • The CacheName parameter is enhanced by Appeon, so it is working differently when executed in the mobile or Web application than when executed in the PB application.

    CacheName is optional depending on the specific scenario of the database connection used in the mobile or Web application. If one transaction object needs to connect with more than one database, then CacheName can be used and set to the name of the data source (as shown in the code example below); if one transaction object connects with only one database, then CacheName might not be necessary, as you can statically map the transaction object with the data source in AEM.

    For example,

    sqlca.DBParm = "CacheName='ASADataSource1'"

    Using CacheName enables the mobile or Web application to dynamically change the data source at runtime, rather than statically mapping the transaction object with the data source in AEM before the application is run. For more information, refer to the section called “Setting up transaction object to data source mapping” in PowerServer Configuration Guide for .NET.

LogID

Supported

ls_value = sqlca.LogID

LogPass

Supported

ls_value = sqlca.LogPass

ServerName

Supported

ls_value = sqlca.ServerName

SQLCode

Supported

ll_value = sqlca.SQLCode

The returned value of SQLCode in Appeon:

<0 – Error; the statement failed. This is different from PowerBuilder where -1 will be returned, while in Appeon, it could be any negative number when there is an error. Therefore, it is recommended to use <0 as the evaluation value for errors in both PowerBuilder and Appeon.

0 – Success.

100 – No result.

SQLDBCode

Supported

ll_value = sqlca.SQLDBCode

Notes:

  1. In PowerBuilder, if sqlca.SQLCode=100, sqlca.SQLDBCode = 3. In Appeon, when sqlca.SQLCode=100, sqlca.SQLDBCode = 0.

  2. In the Web application, SQLDBCode returns a different value from PowerBuilder. It is recommended not to use SQLDBCode in statements such as IF…ELSE.

SyntaxFromSQL

Supported

ls_dw_syntax = SQLCA.SyntaxFromSQL(ls_sql_syntax, ls_style, ls_dw_err)

Notes:

  1. The following syntax is unsupported:

    ls_dw_syntax = SyntaxFromSQL(sqlca, ls_sql_syntax, ls_style, ls_dw_err)

  2. The data type of computed columns in SyntaxFromSQL cannot be the Appeon unsupported data type.

  3. The length of return value on the Web is different from PowerBuilder

  4. The return value of the SyntaxFromSQL function on the Web contains a column name for each column although it is not in PowerBuilder.

  5. The function cannot generate correct source code for TreeView DataWindow.
