WriteText et GPV

#1

A problem from Michel, in a french NG.

The writeText method produces a GPV with a french Paradox version.

Try this (the sample method included in P10)

method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)
var
f form
endvar

if not f.open("BIOLIFE") then ; attempts to open Biolife.fsl. If not
successful, alerts t
; the user and returns
to the form
msginfo("stop","could not open Biolife form")
return
endif
f.attach("BIOLIFE") ; attaches form variable to
biolife.fsl
f.writetext(":WORK:test.txt") ; writes the displayed contents of
biolife.fsl to the file test.txt

f.close() ; closes biolife.fsl
endMethod

test.txt is an empty file and the method produces a GPV.
Can you confirm this with an English version and do you have an explanation
for this.
The question is more about why the GPV yhan how to use writeText.
(Obviously, make the test with an axisting form of your working directory)

Régis,
I tested this (example method from Paradox 10 [10.0.0.719 English version]
help and also experienced an unexpected GPV. Don't know why, though.

Tom,
Thanks testing.
Do you have an empty *.txt file too ?

And the real question is Why ?

Yes.

I have never used WriteText() before. No idea why it gives the GPV

Confirmed.

The help files in P10 says:

"This method will be removed in a future version of Paradox. It is
recommended that you use the publishTo method instead."

I have never used this (didn't even know it was there).

Why do they need this function? Wouldn't it be easier/better to export to
text in another way?

Régis,

In Pdox 9, I had no trouble. However, what happens if you open the Form
using the

WinStyleDefault+WinStyleHidden

Parameters? (see below)

Below is the code I tested:

;//=== Begin
;------------------------>
Var

f Form
strCurrentDir String

endVar
;<------------------------

strCurrentDir = cpCurrentDir() ;//- returns my current directory
if f.open(strCurrentDir + "\\Sample.fsl", WinStyleDefault+WinStyleHidden)
then
; if f.open(strCurrentDir + "\\Sample.fsl") then ;//- <--- this worked
also
f.writetext(":PRIV:test.txt")
sleep() ;//- I added this sleep()
f.close()
endif

;//=== End

This is documented in my Docissues document.

Thanks Bertil,
As usual, before asking, it is better to read your documentation and bug
list.
Just a little point, you refer to version 11, build 300, and that exists in
P10, too
