Hi All,
I have a problem with GBF (generic browser Framewrok) . I used GBF code in part of Code&Utulities. I have display session that displays BOM items and I add a button this session. When it is pressed it show GBF for this item. But When I open one GBF for one item and exit from opened GBF and press button to show second GBF for another item. GBF is not displayed. I only open GBF , when I exit display session and restart sesion .Then it works only for one item. I see problem , I think I should destroy GBF and then open new GBF for another item. How can I open one more GBF from one session at the same time? How can I destroy GBF and open new GBF for another item without exit session ?

Thank you !

Heyyy ! Nobody knows that ?????

I doubt there are many people who use GBF. So you may have a long wait before somebody posts a reply(that is if anyone even knows the answer). I wish there was some documentation on these features.

Hello,

The help for baan Erp says that the gbf terminated wait for a new gbf.init. You can maybe recall this function before anyother GBF function

I did it twice but it didn't work . I think that there should be way or somebody did it.



Thanks .

Hello,

I understand a bit more your problem, You want to have two browsers opened at the same time, with two bom structure? Right?.

I think that in this case you need to have a specific library with the call back functions for each browser.

The structure of the program is then more complicated.

Main program --> dll1 with call back functions for item 1
--> dll2 with call back functions for item 2

due to the DLL capability you need to have two DLLs with the same functions but with different names.

==> 2 buttons?; Complex for end user I think and what if you want to have 3 browsers open? A third DLL. Could be very complex

I only use one button on form. When I select one item on form, I open GBF by using this one button. After that I close GBF and select another item and I press same button then GBF is not open. Your way doesn't provide to solution my case.

Thanks.

Hello,

it is handled in :

function extern long init_data_gbf()

Regards

How ?????????????

I am not sure how? but, there is some info in the latest programmer's manual-

SSA ERP LN 6.1 Programmers Guide
gbf.init()
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
#include <bic_gbf>

long gbf.init(const string library(), const string title(), [long default.menu, long default.button, long default.options, long standard.button, long default.context])

Description
This function must be the first to be called, it initializes the global data structures of the GBF. It is not forbidden to reactivate a new run of the GBF in a session after a previous run of the GBF has terminated, the GBF has to clear its global variables again. This cleaning of the global variables cannot be done when leaving the GBF as at that point in time it must still be possible to get some information about the settings in order for the application to save and restore some user preferences, see for example gbf.get.refresh.strategy() and gbf.get.sort.strategy() .

Thanks All I will evaluate your feedback soon. Thanks...

I tried the ways . But all of them failed. What needs to be done ?

Hello mr_suleyman,

you're a BaaNboard GURU !
Maybe debugging your souce will show you the problem.

I'm not able to relate to your problem.
As shown in attachment, it is posible to open more than one graphical bom same time.

Regards

Firstly ,Thanks Bditmarr for your comment. But I'm always open to learn and learn. It is not important whether I'am guru or not. Secondly , When I look your picture , I realize that you open two session and two GBF. This works for me too. But May be you misunderstand my problem that is to open more than GBF from one sesion. And also I checked my source. I open first GBF and second like working in background but On the screen there is no second. Although I close first GBF and run second it doesn't work or I open first and I try to open second it doesn't work. Only works for open multiple sessions then open more than GBF.
My source is that:

Hi,

I have some questions:

1) When the first gbf is opened check it's PID (using the ps command in client Baan shell). After you close the first gbf does the process still exists in the shell?
2) When you try to activate the second gbf (and it does not open), can you check if there is a new process started in the shell?

Hi,
When I look at process Baan doesn't open any new process for GBF. It runs in sessions process. That's why we couldn't look processes.

Thanks

I discovered something. I controlled return value of gbf.start value. In first step for GBF 1 it returned 0 second GBF it returned -64. When I looked at return values of gbf.stat function there are 0, F.NO.MEMORY,GBF.ILL:STATE return values. Does any anyone know what equals -64 .


Thanks.

And Also gbf.init returns -74 in second GBF.

Thanks George but There is no extra information for solution. I don't belive that this is memory error because it opens more than GBF from multiple sessions. I researched the DLL information. There is no extra information.

HI,

I hope this link will help you, It includes all error codes and return values of GBF:
