PxPlus Releases
Build 9160 January 27, 2006
 
This build is the first for PxPlus Version 7. The majority of enhancements in this build relate to this new version therefore only a limited number of PxPlus specific ehnancements have been included.

The new +PxPlus Exclusive features added are:

General
  • Minor improvements have been made to the activation system program pxpreg to have it prompt for the entry of an activation key if not supplied on the command line.
  • System font processing have been made more consistent such that a font specification such as ",0.5" now takes the current graphical font and applies the size to it. Also the built-in logical font names *, *GUIFONT, and *SYSFONT can have their size/attributes overridden.
  • In Nomads a new entry "GUI Control Font" has been provided in all font selections to allow for the specification of the Operating system defined graphical font.
   
Directives
  • The DIRECTORY directive on Unix/Linux now will accept spaces within the name of directory. In addition, opening a directory for reading (OPEN or SELECT) can now specify directories with spaces in their pathnames.
   
Functions
  • The XEQ function has been enhanced so if an asterisk is given as a argument list, the function issues a PERFORM instead of a CALL.
   
Mnemonics
  • none
   
Parameters
  • The ODBC interface now supports a new IGNORE_NODATA parameter that can be used to force the system to report a SQL_NODATA back to the application. By default this parameter is ON but can be set off by adding IGNORE_DATA=NO to the [ODB] open command string or the [ODBC] section of the INI file. Setting the parameter off cause the SQL_NO_DATA error to return as an error status.
   
Properties
  • The treeview now properly supports the 'Backcolor and 'Textcolor properties and include a new 'LineColor attribute which allows to the definition of the colour of the lines within a Treeview.
   
Utilities
  • none
