Forte ADE
A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away....
I saw a demonstration of Forte's new Application Development Environment,
which was more userfriendly than the current one. It also looked more
similar to the interface of the other development tools out there, with a
tree structure and capabilities to browse through the inheritance tree, and
not opening a new window for every project, class and method that is
accessed.
This new interface was supposed to be included in Forte 4, which would
combine TOOL and Java and would be released soon.
Since then, we've seen SynerJ and now FJEE, but Forte 4 is still not
released. And when it will be released, it still won't support TOOL and Java
simultaneously. That's OK. I understand that.
But now I've heard that this improved ADE won't even be included in Forte 4.
Is this true? And if so, why?

RE: (forte-users) Forte ADE
In addition to this confusion, I'd like to see some statement by Forte to
indicate
WHEN the next Forte R4 is scheduled (before the Sun era is was said to be
Summer 2000) and
WHAT exactly it will contain (major headings will do).
With the cancellation of the Forte Forum event doubt and uncertainty are
spreading in the
Forte communities that I talk with and no one seems to counterbalance these
doubts with an
official statement. How serious does Sun take TOOL Forte for the coming few
years? Release
of Fusion V2 seems to say "serious". The deafning silence with regard to R4
indicates the
opposite. And the users are divided (as always).

recently issued by Sun.
Product Context
+ Forté 4GL is an award-winning, proven product with many unique advantages for
building
enterprise business systems that are distributed, that involve the integration
of existing
business systems as well as new functionality, and that target heterogeneous
runtime
environments.
+ Forté 4GL is recognized by Gartner Group as the most successful Enterprise
Application
Development Tool.
+ Forte 4GL has a substantial customer base that has been successful with the
product and that
looks forward to using Forté 4GL for new applications.
+ The Sun Microsystems, Inc. (SMI) development tools group (formerly Forté
Software, Inc.)
has a strong internal commitment to Forté 4GL. Forté Fusion is written with, and
is currently
being enhanced with Forté 4GL.
+ SMI has retained the Forté field sales organization as an independent unit
whose primary
product offerings are Forté 4GL and Forté Fusion. Continued volume sales of
Forté 4GL
remain the foundation of our business plan.
Product Future
+ We intend to actively enhance and promote Forté 4GL for the indefinite
future.
+ We believe Forté 4GL will flourish in the long term, especially if we are
able to harness the
considerable selling power of the entire SMI field sales organization. To make
the product
more attractive and easier to sell, we will continue to make the product more
modular and
easier to integrate with heterogeneous software environments.
+ We believe that the best opportunity for attracting new customers is to
leverage the ability of
Forté 4GL to easily build powerful shared business services (server components)
that can be
accessed by non-Forté clients (e.g., browsers, Java clients) and that can easily
integrate with
new and existing business systems.
+ We believe that Forté 4GL?s continued success is enhanced by continuing to
issue small and
frequent product releases. Our target is two such releases per year.
+ There is a great potential for our three product lines (Forté 4GL, Forté
Fusion, and Forté for
Java) to complement and reinforce each other. Interoperability among the three
product lines
is seen as a critical success factor for Forté 4GL.

Running Multiple Forte ADEs on the same box
You can run multiple versions of Forte by installing them in different
directory paths and setting environment variables to point to the
correct one. For example:
REM Setup Forte Environment
set FORTE_ROOT=k:\forte\qa2
set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=stardev:5022
REM Run application
ftexec -fi k:\userapp\rightsto\cl3\rights0
Running multiple versions concurrently is ok.

Set the property -Dtangosol.coherence.localport=8050 when running the first node of the second cluster.
The problem is with the property tangosol.coherence.localport, default value=8088 so when you run the first cluster, the WKA port matches the port used by the local node and so it able to form the cluster. But when you run the second cluster, the first node is looking for a member which is using the port =8050 for cluster formation which will not happen until you set the property -Dtangosol.coherence.localport=8050 on one of the nodes.
Hope this helps!

Just so I am clear on the use of keep alive settings,

Kelsey,
We use model nodes exclusively. Occasionally, a
client
node would crash and would be inaccessbile for two
hours but would still appear active under the model
node. After two hours the client could access the
environment again. My only option thus far has been
to
bounce the environment but that can only be done
after
work hours, which may not be convenient for the
affected user.
Kamran Amin just wrote me to say that the two hour
delay is the result of the default socket timeout
setting on UNIX boxes. Perhaps reducing the socket
timeout from two hours to something more reasonable
would fix the problem without manipulating the
environment configuration.
I am not sure how I would determine a good socket
timeout setting for my application. Does anyone have
any ideas? Is my assumption about reducing the
socket
timeout to avoid manipulating the environment
configuration to remove the phantom nodes in a more
timely fashion correct?

No I haven't. So far our model nodes have beenwell
behaved. If a member
was online the node was online, otherwise, if "no
one was home" then it was
off-line. Model nodes aren't real nodes; I viewthem
as a sort of virtual
node. Only real nodes have ocassionally behaved
goofy. I think what happens
is either the user's machine is improperlyshutdown
or they just all of
sudden loose connection to the network. Exception
handling was never Forte

This is very inetresting. I have experienced the
same
problem and have noted the mysterious two hourdelay
in getting the client node back up and running. I
thought it may have had something to do with the
keepalive settings, which seem to work otherwise.
Kelsey, have you reported this to Forte as a bugor
looked through the defect reports? Have you tried
this
technique when using model nodes? I will give your
fix
of reconfiguring the node a try the next time I
encounter the problem. However, I use model nodesso
perhaps it may not have the same effect.

Part of the shutdown process of a node, which

should always invoke from

Then Forte will mark it as offline, rather then

Jean-Paul,
The ModelNode is a client node by definiton, no matter what properties you
change. I've previously asked for an enhancement to allow a
model node to be a
server node, but I don't expect much to happen. To install
server applications
to several nodes, you have to make sure that the node manager on
each node is
active. There really is no built-in support for distributing
applications in

RE: (forte-users) Reporting tools/components for ForteApplications?
Hi Robert,
A good place to start when it comes to reporting is Forte Consulting. They
have developed a tool called ReportKit, which is ActiveX integration with
Seagate Software's Crystal Reports tool. Crystal is not really a three-tier
tool (although, your Forte Consultant can probably set it up to mimic a
three-tier tool), but it is a quick, easy way to get quality reports from
your existing Forte applications. If you're interested, give your Forte
Sales Rep (or, better still, your Forte Regional Consulting Director) a
call. They can discuss pricing and scheduling. I've done several
integration projects with Crystal, and I highly recommend ReportKit for
small- to medium-sized reporting requirements. As for costs, I don't recall
how much CrystalReports runs, but I think there are developer licenses and
runtime licenses.
FYI, the actual integration of ReportKit is pretty quick. The more
time-consuming piece of any report tool integration is the design and
implementation of the reports to be used.
I hope this helps.

Hi all,
We are looking for what is currently in the marketplace to enhance the
reporting
capabilities of Forte. Ideally, we are looking for component libraries that
we
could import into our repository. Do these exist?
Currently, I have found six reporting tools that are out there. The
tools
are Actuate, Crystal Reports, Report Workshop from Indus Consultancy
Services, Brio Technologies (SQR) VisualBRIO, Visual CyberQuery from
Cyberscience Corp., and Beacon from Brahma Software Solutions FORTify
Components. Are there any others for Forte?
If anyone is currently using one of these Reporting Tools for Forte or
any
others, could you give me any indications as to the costs, training, type
of
application using the Reporting tool, would you recommend using the
product
again, does it use wrappering or API, or is it a component based tool, and
any
other relevant information on the product?

I think, SUN is not al all interested in TOOL.If TOOL were just a language and had no market yet, you are probably
right. But, not only is TOOL the key to the Forte environment, but it has
an existing and profitable market. Sun still sells FORTRAN, after all, and
continues to put money into ADE development for all its language
products. The real kicker, though, is that I think iPlanet is very clear
that Fusion, now iIS, is a very key product for them. There may be those
who wish it were written in Java and who might lobby for doing a Java
version, but it was clear at the conference that the iPlanet management
recognize that Java just isn't up to the task at this point. It isn't as
if all the iPlanet tools are actually written in Java, after all.
They will only support them for as long as they need.Or, more likely, for as long as they make money.
Now, in response to Microsofts .NET stratagy. We have yet to see how
succesfull this will be, but I expect Microsoft to push this down the

RE: (forte-users) RE: Forte 3 vs Java --Productivity
I think you should compare language to language, product to product
and standard to standard. J2EE is a standard, like CORBA. It's not
a product and it's not a language. J2EE is a standard, based on the
language Java, but the same standard can be used in the context
of Smalltalk, Cobol, Basic or TOOL as well. We have yet to see any
development tool that actually supports full J2EE. And how many
ORB's out there are really 100% CORBA 2.0 complient and offer
full interoperability through IIOP with other CORBA 2.0 complient
products?
The title of this entire thread is wrong. It's not Forte vs. Java, but
TOOL vs. Java or Forte vs. any Java-based ADE.
EJB, J2EE and CORBA are open standards, intended to facilitate
building large, component based applications. But they're only
standards, they're not usable products. Forte is a usable product.
It is a (propriaty) ORB, if offers lots of advanced component based
features and it uses a propriaty OO language called TOOL. Forte
was doing all this way before the world was debating CORBA, then
Java, then EJB and now J2EE.
Sure, when you really look at it, these standards are more complete
and include more design patterns than the way Forte solved the
problem, but the situation is still that, despite all those wonderfull
standards, Forte is still the product with the most advanced capa-
bilities that actually delivers.
The challenge to Forte is to incorporate those standards within their
own product. Are they going to build 2 products, one TOOL-based
and one Java-based, or are they going to integrate TOOL and Java,
or are they going to drop TOOL? Are they going to support J2EE
and will they keep offering those wonderfull distributed features that
are currently in Forte and are not part of J2EE? Will they switch
completely to JDBC or will they integrate DBSessions with JDBC?
Will their ORB functionality remain closed or will the Forte environ-
ment become a full CORBA 2.0 complient environment? Will they
keep supporting DCOM? Will they allow JavaBeans, EJB, Forte
service objects, OLE-objects, Servlets and Active-X components
to co-exist or will that remain SF? Are they going to support Swing?
Are they going to include an HTML-Browser widget? Are they going
to, natively, support JavaScript? What about VB-script? What
about Perl-script? What about TOOL-script??? Will they include
an object-based reporting tool, so you don't have to circumvent
the application and report against the relational database? Will
this reporting tool be Java-based, TOOL-based, both, EJB-based,
CORBA-based or whatever? Will they support JPEG and PNG as
well as BMP and GIF? Will they allow you to store these images in

RE: (forte-users) 3J= 3M new to me error
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your email but I think it will be interesting for Brenda not me.
It is exactly what I have expected from Forte Support: detailed information
about bugs and workarounds. But what I cannot understand is that #53398 was
released without any information about possible reasons for this problem or
suggested workarounds. My first reaction after reading this bugreport was to
open a new case at CallCenter to get more information about it. Please
release more information with your bug reports !

Hi Zenon,
bug #53398 is not a bug which will likely get fixed, it's an informational
bugreport.
You might see an errorstack like Brenda has reported (and described in
informational
bugreport #53398) probably when you are doing something illegal that is
possible
via Forte Tool but Forte is not trapping it for performance reasons. Hence
you will see
the error coming from your illegal operation only at runtime, probably
only
while
running interpreted in the Forte IDE, but in worst case it might be even a
segmentation
violation.
Technotes 12448 'Sudden client partition crashes at runtime' and 11225
'Don't reparent
mapped Widgets between UserWindows at runtime' explain this matter . See
attached.
But maybe Brenda is much more experiencing a problem as described by Forte
Technote 11398 'Read Only Workspace Errors using ListViews or ActiveX
control'
that might get easily resolved via setting of FORTE_YIELD_THROTTLE=0.
Good Luck and Best Regards !
BTW: I've logged bug #53398, so I've felt responsible to explain its real
background.

Technote 11398 Read Only Workspace Errors using ListViews or ActiveX
control
SCENARIO:
Getting some unusual interpreter errors that result in an error stating
that
the workspace has been set to read only. Please see Enclosures for the
two
most common error stacks that have been encountered. The abbreviated
versions of the errors are:
- Can't read record (record size = -1)
- Id in index does not match id in record header in data file
- Recursive deserialization attempted.
- Unknown Mark type in deserialization
- Could not read record (64,74615) from repository data file.
Header
is corrupt.
These errors can be happening in either the development environment when
running from one of the development workshops, or with the deployed
application.
The bug outlined in this Technote may be the culprit if the errors above
are
seen when running a client on Windows NT or Motif and the user interface
incorporates ActiveX controls or ListView/TreeView widgets.
CAUSE:
Basically what is happening is that in rare circumstances Forte may invoke
a
nested copy of the interpreter while the first interpreter has yielded.
This
is not a problem in and of itself, but in the case where the original
interpreter was in the middle of a repository fetch when it yielded, and
the second interpreter needs to fetch code as well, we will get one of the
errors listed above, depending on the exact timing. The reason for the
errors is that the repository code at this level is thread-safe but not
re-entrant. It is protected by a mutex that is already owned by the
current task. Which, given the scenario outlined here, where the two
interpreters are running inside of the same task, results in the nested
interpreter being allowed to change data out from under the first.
While for every fetch one or more calls to WindowSystem.Yield will be made
(this is there to prevent the semblance of system lock-up on Win 3.1,
where
Yield is the only way other applications can be allowed to run), there is
a parameter which controls how often to actually yield, which by default
is
set to one out of every 100 calls. This is the reason the problem is
intermittent--you need a yield to occur during a repository fetch
which starts another interpreter which also needs to fetch code from
disk.
The reason this has only surfaced recently is that the nested interpreter
scenario can only happen in 2 cases that we know of:
- ActiveX controls which respond to events/Windows messages
- Outline fields/ListViews with column(s) mapped to virtual
attributes
In all other normal cases, the yield can process the message (typically a
paint message) without starting another interpreter, so regardless of
whether
the first interpreter yielded during a repository operation or not, there
is
no conflict.
SOLUTION:
The workaround is to prevent yields altogether by setting the
FORTE_YIELD_THROTTLE environment variable equal to 0 in the client's
environment. This should have no detrimental effects since the yield code
is in place solely for Windows 3.1x clients.

Technote 11225 Don't reparent mapped Widgets between UserWindows at
runtime
It is sometimes tempting to unparent a widget from one UserWindow and
reparent
it into another at runtime. However, this can cause crashes if the widget
(or
its decendants) are "mapped" to data. Here's why...
Suppose you have two UserWindows, UW1 and UW2. UW1 contains a DataField
(DF1)
which is mapped to a TextData. UW2 contains a RadioList (RL2) which is
mapped to
a scalar Integer. At compile time, every mapped attribute is internally
assigned
a "Map ID" (a small integer) which is used to tie the Widget to its
corresponding attribute. These Map IDs are used by the Widget to look up a
pointer to their data in a "Map" which is maintained by the UserWindow.
Each
UserWindow is assumed be to independent of the others, so there is nothing
wrong
with Widgets in different UserWindows being assigned the same Map IDs.
In
this
case, let's assume that DF1 and RL2 both got assigned the same Map ID of
3. No
problem so far, since each lives in a separate UserWindow with a separate
map.
Now suppose at runtime the application "detaches" or unparents DF1 from
its
UserWindow and reparents it somewhere into UW2. When it comes time for DF1
to
paint itself the Display System it must ask the Runtime System for the
value of
DF1's mapped attribute. To do that it says "give me the value of the
TextData
for DF1. You'll find it in the Map for this UserWindow (UW1), and its Map
ID is
3". When the runtime system goes to do this it expects to find a TextData
in
this "slot" of the map, but instead it picks up the integer which is
mapped to
RL2. At best this leads to bad data being returned; more likely you get a
segfault and a crash.
If DF1 was not a mapped attribute (say, a Rectangle) there would be no
problem
because there is no data mapped to a Rectangle. If instead of moving DF1
you
created a brand new DataField on the fly there would be no problem,
because the
dynamic DataField would not have any Map ID and so couldn't conflict with
any
IDs in UW2.
So how do you solve this problem? This is exactly what Nested Windows are
all
about. While you can't move DF1 into the middle of UW2, you can nest
UW1.
This
works because UW1 brings its map with it, and when you access DF1 it knows
to
look up its value in UW1's map.
UserWindows are intended to be the "unit of compilabilty" that can be
nested
inside other UserWindows. It is dangerous to "transplant" anything from
inside
one UserWindow into another at runtime.
(Note that you can't avoid this problem by cloning DF1 because the MapID
gets
copied along with it, and the clone will fail in the same way.)
Further details explained in related technote 12448 'Sudden client
partition
crashes at runtime.'
Technote 12448 Sudden client partition crashes at runtime
Scenario : You have two UserWindows, A and B. When Window A starts up, it
instantiates an instance of B and reparents some component of B into A's
window
hierarchy.
This is not allowed and almost always leads to an error at best or at
worse a
segmentation fault.
Here's why :
When you compile a UserWindow in Forte, each "mapped attribute" (whether a
form
element or menu element) is assigned an internal ID which represents an
offset into
that UserWindow's table of mapped attributes. This offset is only valid
in the
context of the UserWindow in which it was compiled. If you detach a
FieldWidget or
MenuWidget from one compiled Window ("tmpMenu" for example) and then
parent
into another compiled window ("tmpWindow") the internal ID comes with it.
When Forte tries to make use of that copied widget it uses the ID as an
offset
into tmpWindow's table of mapped attributes. But that copied offset is
meaningless in the context of tmpWindow's table, so you get some kind off
error.
In this case it found that the data type of the variable in the slot
wasn't
what
was expected. But you might even index off the end of the table and get a
segmentation fault.
There is nothing to prevent you from dynamically creating menu items and
adding
them to a window at runtime; that will work fine. Although of course you
can't
access them via mapped attributes, since those can only be created at
compile time.
But you are not allowed to reparent a widget from one compiled UserWindow
into
the hierarchy of another.
More information may be found in technote 11225 'Don't reparent mapped
Widgets
between UserWindows at runtime'.
Possible errorstacks seen at runtime instead of a complete crash or
segmentation
violation while you are illegally reparenting a widget or menuitem between
windows
at runtime:

Thanks for your email but I think it will be interesting for Brenda not me.
It is exactly what I have expected from Forte Support: detailed information
about bugs and workarounds. But what I cannot understand is that #53398 was
released without any information about possible reasons for this problem or
suggested workarounds. My first reaction after reading this bugreport was to
open a new case at CallCenter to get more information about it. Please
release more information with your bug reports !

Hi Zenon,
bug #53398 is not a bug which will likely get fixed, it's an informational
bugreport.
You might see an errorstack like Brenda has reported (and described in
informational
bugreport #53398) probably when you are doing something illegal that is
possible
via Forte Tool but Forte is not trapping it for performance reasons. Hence
you will see
the error coming from your illegal operation only at runtime, probably
only
while
running interpreted in the Forte IDE, but in worst case it might be even a
segmentation
violation.
Technotes 12448 'Sudden client partition crashes at runtime' and 11225
'Don't reparent
mapped Widgets between UserWindows at runtime' explain this matter . See
attached.
But maybe Brenda is much more experiencing a problem as described by Forte
Technote 11398 'Read Only Workspace Errors using ListViews or ActiveX
control'
that might get easily resolved via setting of FORTE_YIELD_THROTTLE=0.
Good Luck and Best Regards !
BTW: I've logged bug #53398, so I've felt responsible to explain its real
background.

Technote 11398 Read Only Workspace Errors using ListViews or ActiveX
control
SCENARIO:
Getting some unusual interpreter errors that result in an error stating
that
the workspace has been set to read only. Please see Enclosures for the
two
most common error stacks that have been encountered. The abbreviated
versions of the errors are:
- Can't read record (record size = -1)
- Id in index does not match id in record header in data file
- Recursive deserialization attempted.
- Unknown Mark type in deserialization
- Could not read record (64,74615) from repository data file.
Header
is corrupt.
These errors can be happening in either the development environment when
running from one of the development workshops, or with the deployed
application.
The bug outlined in this Technote may be the culprit if the errors above
are
seen when running a client on Windows NT or Motif and the user interface
incorporates ActiveX controls or ListView/TreeView widgets.
CAUSE:
Basically what is happening is that in rare circumstances Forte may invoke
a
nested copy of the interpreter while the first interpreter has yielded.
This
is not a problem in and of itself, but in the case where the original
interpreter was in the middle of a repository fetch when it yielded, and
the second interpreter needs to fetch code as well, we will get one of the
errors listed above, depending on the exact timing. The reason for the
errors is that the repository code at this level is thread-safe but not
re-entrant. It is protected by a mutex that is already owned by the
current task. Which, given the scenario outlined here, where the two
interpreters are running inside of the same task, results in the nested
interpreter being allowed to change data out from under the first.
While for every fetch one or more calls to WindowSystem.Yield will be made
(this is there to prevent the semblance of system lock-up on Win 3.1,
where
Yield is the only way other applications can be allowed to run), there is
a parameter which controls how often to actually yield, which by default
is
set to one out of every 100 calls. This is the reason the problem is
intermittent--you need a yield to occur during a repository fetch
which starts another interpreter which also needs to fetch code from
disk.
The reason this has only surfaced recently is that the nested interpreter
scenario can only happen in 2 cases that we know of:
- ActiveX controls which respond to events/Windows messages
- Outline fields/ListViews with column(s) mapped to virtual
attributes
In all other normal cases, the yield can process the message (typically a
paint message) without starting another interpreter, so regardless of
whether
the first interpreter yielded during a repository operation or not, there
is
no conflict.
SOLUTION:
The workaround is to prevent yields altogether by setting the
FORTE_YIELD_THROTTLE environment variable equal to 0 in the client's
environment. This should have no detrimental effects since the yield code
is in place solely for Windows 3.1x clients.

Technote 11225 Don't reparent mapped Widgets between UserWindows at
runtime
It is sometimes tempting to unparent a widget from one UserWindow and
reparent
it into another at runtime. However, this can cause crashes if the widget
(or
its decendants) are "mapped" to data. Here's why...
Suppose you have two UserWindows, UW1 and UW2. UW1 contains a DataField
(DF1)
which is mapped to a TextData. UW2 contains a RadioList (RL2) which is
mapped to
a scalar Integer. At compile time, every mapped attribute is internally
assigned
a "Map ID" (a small integer) which is used to tie the Widget to its
corresponding attribute. These Map IDs are used by the Widget to look up a
pointer to their data in a "Map" which is maintained by the UserWindow.
Each
UserWindow is assumed be to independent of the others, so there is nothing
wrong
with Widgets in different UserWindows being assigned the same Map IDs.
In
this
case, let's assume that DF1 and RL2 both got assigned the same Map ID of
3. No
problem so far, since each lives in a separate UserWindow with a separate
map.
Now suppose at runtime the application "detaches" or unparents DF1 from
its
UserWindow and reparents it somewhere into UW2. When it comes time for DF1
to
paint itself the Display System it must ask the Runtime System for the
value of
DF1's mapped attribute. To do that it says "give me the value of the
TextData
for DF1. You'll find it in the Map for this UserWindow (UW1), and its Map
ID is
3". When the runtime system goes to do this it expects to find a TextData
in
this "slot" of the map, but instead it picks up the integer which is
mapped to
RL2. At best this leads to bad data being returned; more likely you get a
segfault and a crash.
If DF1 was not a mapped attribute (say, a Rectangle) there would be no
problem
because there is no data mapped to a Rectangle. If instead of moving DF1
you
created a brand new DataField on the fly there would be no problem,
because the
dynamic DataField would not have any Map ID and so couldn't conflict with
any
IDs in UW2.
So how do you solve this problem? This is exactly what Nested Windows are
all
about. While you can't move DF1 into the middle of UW2, you can nest
UW1.
This
works because UW1 brings its map with it, and when you access DF1 it knows
to
look up its value in UW1's map.
UserWindows are intended to be the "unit of compilabilty" that can be
nested
inside other UserWindows. It is dangerous to "transplant" anything from
inside
one UserWindow into another at runtime.
(Note that you can't avoid this problem by cloning DF1 because the MapID
gets
copied along with it, and the clone will fail in the same way.)
Further details explained in related technote 12448 'Sudden client
partition
crashes at runtime.'
Technote 12448 Sudden client partition crashes at runtime
Scenario : You have two UserWindows, A and B. When Window A starts up, it
instantiates an instance of B and reparents some component of B into A's
window
hierarchy.
This is not allowed and almost always leads to an error at best or at
worse a
segmentation fault.
Here's why :
When you compile a UserWindow in Forte, each "mapped attribute" (whether a
form
element or menu element) is assigned an internal ID which represents an
offset into
that UserWindow's table of mapped attributes. This offset is only valid
in the
context of the UserWindow in which it was compiled. If you detach a
FieldWidget or
MenuWidget from one compiled Window ("tmpMenu" for example) and then
parent
into another compiled window ("tmpWindow") the internal ID comes with it.
When Forte tries to make use of that copied widget it uses the ID as an
offset
into tmpWindow's table of mapped attributes. But that copied offset is
meaningless in the context of tmpWindow's table, so you get some kind off
error.
In this case it found that the data type of the variable in the slot
wasn't
what
was expected. But you might even index off the end of the table and get a
segmentation fault.
There is nothing to prevent you from dynamically creating menu items and
adding
them to a window at runtime; that will work fine. Although of course you
can't
access them via mapped attributes, since those can only be created at
compile time.
But you are not allowed to reparent a widget from one compiled UserWindow
into
the hierarchy of another.
More information may be found in technote 11225 'Don't reparent mapped
Widgets
between UserWindows at runtime'.
Possible errorstacks seen at runtime instead of a complete crash or
segmentation
violation while you are illegally reparenting a widget or menuitem between
windows
at runtime:

How can I open an acsm file in ADE?
I am trying to write instructions for someone new to e-readers. Here is the issue.
We downloaded e-books from the Ottawa Public Library. The file offered was an acsm file. We saved it to the desktop. When we opened ADE and used the "add to library" function, it only looks for epub files. We can navigate to the file in explorer and click on it, then ADE opens the file and uses it to create an epub file, which it adds to the library.
My question is: Is there any way to avoid using explorer to open the acsm file? I would have thought that ADE would allow you to point to the acsm file and open it.
TksThe .ascm file format is a standard that was agreed upon by the industry
some ten or more years ago, and it's used by most, if not all, of the
epublication programs that are in use now. That includes the Overdrive
software that libraries stateside use most of the time. If you're having
this issue with more than one library, I'd check out one other area before
I give up. If you have Windows 7 as your operating system, some of its
security settings can prevent the library software from activating ADE on
your computer. I'm an XP person, so I can't pinpoint which ones to look
at, but there are others reading the blog that may be able to help you.
The library's technical support people may be able to help also.
You're incorrect on expecting ADE to find the ,ascm file on your computer.
That file should exist only during the transfer, and I believe that there
are some expiration parameters inside the file, so you have only a small
window of time to use it. Remember that this file type is only a 'pointer'
- it's not an ebook.
Bottom line? This issue is quite rare on the forum, and there are
literally thousands of other users who don't have this issue. It's not the
