  • OpenEdge Architect Preferences

    by Marko Rüterbories | Aug 31, 2011
    OpenEdge Architect offers a lot of great functionality. But some features need to be turned on using preference settings for the workspace. For other preferences the default settings are just not what my first choice would be. In this article we introduce some settings that we typically do prefer.

  • Customizing OpenEdge Architect Templates made easy: Personalization

    by Marko Rüterbories | Aug 15, 2011
    OpenEdge Architect’s templates for new files and new code sections like methods or internal procedures are not always what a developer would expect or like to have. The templates used are based in Eclipse JET templates. To customize those it is required to set up an Eclipse Plugin Development environment (PDE).

    Recently independent consultant Tim Kuehn from Canada reminded me to write about PANS – the Progress Alert and Notification Service. PANS is a free service offered by Progress Software.

  • UltraControls, .NET Assemblies and deployment, a follow up

    by Marko Rüterbories | Jul 18, 2011
    Traditionally Progress R-code is compatible a few minor versions up and down. So it would be expected that 10.2A R-code should work on 10.2B and 10.2B R-code works on 10.2A as long as you do not use any of the new features of 10.2B in the ABL source code.

  • A few words on OpenEdge UltraControls and deployment…

    by Marko Rüterbories | Jul 15, 2011
    Very often we are faced with questions about deployment of OpenEdge GUI for .NET based applications and references to .NET Assemblies.

  • No restriction on where you can use the Openedge UltraControls for .NET product

    by Marko Rüterbories | Mar 02, 2011
    Since the release of the GUI for .NET with OpenEdge 10.2A there has been a lot on uncertainity or even rumors about the license conditions for the OpenEdge UltraControls. The biggest – and very important – unanswered point so far was whether the .NET Controls obtained as the OpenEdge UltraControls can only be used in OpenEdge development tools or anywhere the product can technically be used.

  • Using object oriented language features with procedural Progress code

    by Marko Rüterbories | Nov 24, 2010
    In our projects where we support customers introducing the GUI for .NET into existing Progress / OpenEdge applications as well as while building our tools WinKit and Dynamics4.NET the integration between existing procedural and new object oriented code has always been a fundamental requirement.

  • Progress relaxes usage restrictions of GUI for .NET Bridge with 10.2B Service Pack

    by Marko Rüterbories | Sep 25, 2010
    Among technical modifications Progress has changed the OpenEdge license agreement (EULA) with Service Pack 2. Prior to the service pack the usage of the AVM / .NET Bridge was restricted to the use for building .NET UIs as part of the Progress runtime. As a result of the successful “Help us test the bridge” initiative, Progress decided to remove the restrictions from the EULA.

  • OpenEdge Architect Hotkeys

    by Marko Rüterbories | Aug 31, 2010
    I know that beginners may not want to believe this – but for me personally the OpenEdge Architect or Eclipse is the favorite editor for every text based file format, including ini files, batch files, xml and html – and of course ABL source code. One key to this productivity are keyboard shortcuts.
