ABC: Using FileManager methods in source procedures 1998-12-15 -- Barky@lansharks.com (keith Barkenhagen) Newsgroups: topspeed.products.c5ee
Well, just thought I would post a follow up to my first message
detailing what worked and what didn't. Using the Generate All
checkbox in the global properties didn't work. Using the individual
file overrides didn't work either.
What DID work was to create a browse in my app. Even though I didn't
export it, and never used it, it would appear that the instantiation
of the FileClass doesn't happen without a browse there. This is a
borderline bug, because if I am using the dictionary, and I add the
file into the OTHER FILES area of my source procedure I should be able
to access the file objects there.
So, IF you have only a source procedure (ie: you're creating a DLL
that has only source procedures) that needs access to the files and
you are going to be programming using ABC Methods, you HAVE to create
a browse to that the file objects are created.
This might be a good entry into some of the tip databases out there...
I don't know how to go about getting it into those databases, but here
it is to the newsgroup community.
Best of Luck and Happy coding,
Keith Barkenhagen
