VB6 will REPORT a LEFT location greater than max integer when the form is in an auxiliary screen. However, I cannot assign that value as a LEFT specification.
I manually drag frmSecondary to the secondary monitor (located to the right of my primary monitor).
I click a button within frmSecondary in order to write the value of frmSeconday.Left to a file. It writes 49950.
I close the program, then re-open.
I read the value from the file (and the value IS 49950).
I try to programmatically assign that value to frmSecondary.Left
Failure (works OK if the value is less than "largest integer").
Expected result: I should be able to assign the value that was written to file. Better yet, any ideas of how to programmatically place frmSecondary at it's "proper" location on the secondary monitor?
I simply read the value from file:
Input #fnum, frmSecondary.left
I've tried, without success:
Dim lft as variant
Input #fnum, lft
frmSecondary.left = lft
I have confirmed that the value being read from file is, in fact, 49950. I do this confirmation two ways...one is by looking at the file; the second is by putting a "stop" in the program and showing the value of lft.
TOTAL NONSENSE
Ignore this entire post. I just discovered my error -- it's so embarrassing, I don't even want to describe it. Nothing quite like spending an entire afternoon (to say nothing of YOUR time) chasing garbage.

So I have created a huge screen that essentially just shows the robot status for every robot in this factory (individually)… At the very end of the project, they decided they want one object on the screen that blinks if any of the 300 robots fault. I am trying to think of a way to make this work. Maybe a global script of some kind? Problem is, I do not do much scripting in Cimplicity, so any help is appreciated.
All the points that are currently used on this screen (to indicate a fault) have very similar names… as in, the beginning is the same… so I was thinking of a script that could maybe recognize if a bit is high based on PART of it's string name characteristic. The end will change a little each time, but I am sure there is a way to only look for part of a string and negate the rest. If the end has to be hard coded, that's fine.
You can use a Python script in Cimplicity.
I will not go into detail on the use of python in Cimplicity, which is well described in the documentation indicated above.
Here's an example of what can be done... note that I don't have a way to test it and, of course, this will work if the name of your robots in the declaration follows the format Robot_1, Robot_2, Robot_3 ... Robot_10 ... Robot_300 and it also depends on the Name and the Type of the fault variable... as you didn't define it, I imagine it can be an integer, with ZERO indicating no error. But if you use something other than that, you can easily change it.
import cimplicity
(...)
OneRobotWithFault = False
# Here you get the values and check for fault
for i in range(0, 300):
pointName = f'MyFactory.Robot_{i}.FaultCode'
robotFaultCode = cimplicity.point_get(pointName)
if robotFaultCode > 0:
OneRobotWithFault = True
break
# Set the status to the variable "WeHaveRobotWithFault"
cimplicity.point_set("WeHaveRobotWithFault", OneRobotWithFault)
I'm verifying the value of a Text object in Unreal then setting the value after the branch node. However the value is changed before. I managed to isolate the issue and reproduce the bug in that small blueprint (The execution before is just the BeginPlay event attaching the debug interface then leading up here):
The results in the Direction Trace output (Small function that displays the value requested) is always "Up" and the Actual Content shows "New Value".
However, Direction will be "Down" and Actual Content will show the correct original value ("Hazard 3") if I remove the last node that sets "Short Difficulty Name".
Furthermore, if I compare the original value with a random integer like so:
Direction will show "Down" while "Actual Content" still shows "New Value"
I really don't get it, tried copying the value of the Text instead in case it was a pointer issue, reading online if the Branch node or pure functions had a delay, comparing Text instead of String..
I ended up fixing the issue by adding a 0.0001s delay after reading variable and before writing anything, then the values were correct.
i´ve a quick question regarding a zabbix trigger expression. Our script finds out the certification lifetime while returning a number into a file. I already created some triggers for specific time spans (like 10 days or 44 days).
For example:
{Certificate Lifetime:vfs.file.contents[C:\Zabbix_scripts\cert.txt].prev()}<=30 and {Certificate Lifetime:vfs.file.contents[C:\Zabbix_scripts\cert.txt].prev()}>10
I now want to have a trigger which will cause an "Disaster" when the value in the .txt file is unavailable, like the txt file is empty.
I´ve tried
{Certificate Lifetime:vfs.file.contents[C:\Zabbix_scripts\cert.txt].prev()}=0
But this was not the right sulution. Any ideas?
Moreover we have some machines which are equal to others but doesn´t show any value. Any ideas at this point?

You should be able to detect empty item value with something like this:
strlen()=0
I have a form that loads a single record. The user does what they need to do on the form...in this case, they enter a date, and a button becomes available to click to advance the record to the next step in the process.
I have a public function that is logging the activity to tblActivity, and sets the record's new Status and Location. This Function takes 3 variables, and was working fine until today.
'I'm calling the function with this line from the button's Click event
LogActivity 15, Screen.ActiveForm, Me.Recordset
Public Function LogActivity(ByVal lSID As Long, Optional fForm As Form, Optional ByRef fRS As Recordset)
With fRS
Do Until .EOF
Debug.Print .Fields(5)
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
...
End Function
This should be printing the form's Status value, but fRS is passed in with no values. The form's recordset has values prior to being passed as the form has data. Some how it is getting lost in the pass. This was working fine, I have multiple buttons across 5 different forms that all call this same Function. Suddenly today, none of them can pass the recordset. I can think of nothing that was changed that would effect this. Most of the changes recently involved locking down fields and the appearance of buttons at the right time...nothing related to the recordset.
Naturally, this DB is supposed to go live on Monday.
Found the problem.
I had a backup from yesterday that was working fine.
One by one, I went through the changes I logged from yesterday and found that by changing some fields to .enabled = False and .locked = True is what was doing it. Apparently that was enough to clear all the values when passing.
Left the fields enabled, just locked them and it passes all values correctly.
Even though this was a failure on my part, I'll leave this up in case some one else makes the same mistake I made.
**** Update ****
I also found out that if I did a
fRS.movelast
fRS.movefirst
before anything else, it found the data. Not sure why it started happening, but these two things seem to have fixed it completely.
I'm using Opa for a school project in which there has to be some synchronization of a textfield between several users. The easy way to solve this, is to transmit the complete field whenever there is a change performed by one of the users. The better way is of course to only transmit the changes.
My idea was to use the caret position in the textfield. As a user types, one can get the last typed character based on the caret position (simply the character before the caret). A DOM element has an easy-to-use field for this called selectionStart. I have this small Javascript for this:
document.getElementById('content').selectionStart
which correctly returns 5 if the caret stands at the fifth character in the field. In Opa, I cannot use selectionStart on either a DOM or a dom_element so I thought I'd write a small plugin. The result is this:
##extern-type dom_element
##register jsGetCaretPosition: dom_element -> int
##args(node)
{
return node.selectionStart;
}
This compiles with the opp-builder without any problem and when I put this small line of code in my Opa script:
#pos = %%caret.jsGetCaretPosition%%(Dom.of_selection(Dom.select_id("content")));
that also compiles without problems. However, when I run the script, it always returns "undefined" and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've looked in the API and Dom.of_selection(Dom.select_id("content")) looked like the correct way to get the corresponding dom_element typed data to give to the plugin. The fact that the plugin returns "undefined" seems to suggest that the selected element does not know the member "selectionStart" eventhough my testcode in Javascript suggest otherwise. Anyone can help?
In Opa dom_element are the results of jQuery selection (i.e. an array of dom nodes). So if I well understood your program you should write something like node[0].selectionStart instead of node.selectionStart.
Moreover you should take care of empty selection and selection which doesn't contains textarea node (without selectionStart property). Perhaps the right code is tmp == undefined ? -1 : tmp = node[0].selectionStart == undefined ? -1 : tmp
