[Openroad-users] eClient & Timezones

[Fabian Anderson]

Hi Darren,

 

I am not sure how eClient goes with packaging other components, but you
could either write a wrapper component and package that with your app or
you could use VBScript or Javascript to get access to the date functions
via a file-handle.  For this type of thing, an ActiveX wrapper would
probably be the best option as it needs to execute within the security
framework of a browser.  You may also be able to use client-side
scripting to call the Jscript/VBScript functions to launch the correct
version of the image with correct timezone environment as you originally
mentioned.

 

On a related not, I am curious as to whether eClient supports 3GL when
running in a browser and if doing so requires that security settings be
reduced on the browser.  If eClient supports 3GL without altering
security settings, then I would just make a 3GL wrapper instead.

 

e.g..

 

                    Li_RtnStatus = callproc DeleteFileA('file.txt');

 

Can this line be used from an eClient to delete a system file or
important data? 

 

Regards,

Fabian.

I have looked at using Windows API's to get the current local time, and
there are 2 API's which I am trying to use, 'GetSystemTime' &
'GetLocalTime'.  However when I try to use these in a similar way to
some of the file handling API's we use, I get the error below indicating
that the procedure is not defined.

 

                    Li_RtnStatus = callproc DeleteFileA('file.txt');

 

                    Li_RtnStatus = callproc GetSystemTime();

                                                          ^

%% Warning at line 1273

E_W402B9 Warning - Procedure getsystemtime is undefined.

 

So obviously the Time related API's need to be structured differently,
but I am at a loss as to what is required to use these.  (I have
'kernel32.dll' in the 'II_LIBU3GL' path.)  The API's also require a
parameter of type 'SYSTEMTIME", and this has me stuck as well.

 

If anyone can help me out, that would be great.

Hi Darren,

            Using the Win32 SDK to get the timezone from the control
panel is the way it would work normally (for any other distributed
app)...so I think the same approach would be needed for eClient.  

            I find it odd though that the eClient doesn't already offer
a function that gets this information, but rather provides a means to
pass the environment from the server.

            I would proceed with the Win32 SDK idea, but only for
display/conversion purposes.  You should not need to store an additional
date/varchar though.

 

Cheers,

Fabian Anderson
