num2str - decimals based on EDT

num2str function with the number of decimals based on the property of an Extended DataType

Code based on Mirko Bonello's work: http://dynamicsax-dev.blogspot.com/2009/02/getting-number-of-decimal-places-for.html

str num2strEdt(
    real _number,           //The real number to convert to a string
    int _character = 0,     //The minimum number of characters required in the text.
    ExtCodeValue _edt,      //The EDT to be used as basis for required number of decimal places.
    int _separator1 = 2,    //DecimalSeparator
    int _separator2 = 0)    //ThousandSeparator
{
    #DEFINE.AUTO('Auto')
    // http://www.rgagnon.com/pbdetails/pb-0181.html
    #DEFINE.LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT(1024)
    #DEFINE.LOCALE_ICURRDIGITS(25)

    #AOT
    #PROPERTIES
    #WinAPI // Used for regional settings

    TreeNode treeNode;
    int decimalPlaces;
    ;
    treeNode = infolog.findNode(#ExtendedDataTypesPath + '\\' + _edt);
    if (!treeNode)
        return strfmt("%1", _number);

    if (findproperty(treeNode.AOTgetProperties(),#PropertyNoOfDecimals) == #AUTO)
    {
      // get the number of decimals from the regional settings
      decimalPlaces = str2int((WinAPI::getLocaleInfo(#LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT,   #LOCALE_ICURRDIGITS)));
    }
    else
    {
      // get the number of decimals set by the developer in the property inspector
      decimalPlaces = str2int(findproperty(treeNode.AOTgetProperties(),#PropertyNoOfDecimals));
    }

    return num2str(_number, _character, decimalPlaces, _separator1, _separator2);
}

usage example:

info(strfmt("%1", num2strEdt(20.34, 0, (identifierstr(myEDT)))));

Remember network passwords after reboot (Vista home premium)

Hi, I was having the same issue as you, and I was using Vista Ultimate 64bits,

I got it to work by doing this:

1 - Reboot the computer
2 - After you log it will say your mapped drive couldn't be connected and stuff.... ok
3 - Go into Control Pannel, User Accounts, Network Passwords, and add the \\server\share, with the username & password you want
4 - Open My Computer, and access your mapped drive
5 - Reboot the computer

After this, all the time windows boots up it shall reconnect without that f*cking message again

Notice: Its important to do the steps as described because if you only add the server password into the Network Passwords but you don't use it, windows will not store it and will not remember the password the next time you boot.


Enjoy!!

Interactive Infolog messages: SysInfoAction

Ever wanted to doubleclick an infolog message and go straight to a form/field... ?

Outputting the Name of an Enum element, instead of its Label

Example:

Enum WorkTimeControl has 3 elements:

Name - Label - EnumValue: (labels are in Dutch)
Open - Openen - 0
Closed - Afgesloten - 1
UseBasic - Basiskalender - 2


We define a variable:
WorkTimeControl workTimeControl = WorkTimeControl::Closed;

This code will render the Label of the element:
info(strfmt("%1", workTimeControl));
output = Afgesloten

This code will render the Name of the element:
info(strfmt("%1", enum2symbol(enumnum(WorkTimeControl), workTimeControl)));
output = Closed

WorkCalendarDate::findDate

A new useful method on Table WorkCalendarDate:

\Data Dictionary\Tables\WorkCalendarDate\Methods\findDate

/// <param name="_calendarId">
/// The calendar to use to look for open days
/// </param>
/// <param name="_lookAheadDays">
/// Search for the nth day (default 0)
/// positive value = search forward
/// negative value = search backwards
/// </param>
/// <param name="_startDate">
/// Start looking from this date (default: system date)
/// </param>
/// <param name="_forceReturnDate">
/// What should be returned if no date was found?
/// true  = _startdate is returned
/// false = no date is returned (default)
