We have raised a support incident with the developer of this component. I’ll post a response here as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

We have an updated version. I could not locate an email address for you in the forum database. Could you please write to support@advansyscorp.com and we’ll organize to get an update to you.

Thank you for your question above. You could probably update the applet yourselves if you downloaded a copy of Formativ Creator. It should be fairly straight forward to locate and change the deliminator character.

I’ll also forward this request onto Engineering to see if they could make a quick update. This is a free applet with source code available, so I can’t make any promises regarding timeframes.

Not that I am aware of. GroupWise can only display RTF or HTML as the content of a message. If you could save the Publisher document as HTML you could retrieve the file into the message body (compose a message in GroupWise then press F11). You also try copying and pasting via the clipboard.

I hope this helps.

I assume you are using Formativ 2.0, given you mention Applet chaining.

This is a difficult question to answer without seeing your applet code, and knowing details of the third party application. Using version 2.0, I suspect the answer probably lies in a mechanism whereby the applet watches the the third party applications window (using FindWindow), and sits a loop while the application is still running, ensuring it remains in the forground for the duration.

Anothet option could involve modifying the third party application (if possible) to locate and hide the GroupWise email view window for the duration so that the user cannot tab back to it. If you can’t change the third party application, you could write a small ‘stub’ application that the applet shells. (instead of the third party app). This stub application then locates and hides the email view window, then shell the third party application. (I am using the term ‘hide’ here in a general sense – you may need to locate the ‘send’ button on the form and temporarily disable it, for example).

This is a tricky problem to solve, but it should be doable. The complexity lies in the fact that three processes are involved that require synchronization from a Windows focus (and process) perspective. A little trickery is often required to work around this type of problem.

I hope this helps.

You can download these from:

http://www.advansyscorp.com/formativ/developers_guide.chm

and

http://www.advansyscorp.com/formativ/language_guide.chm

We’ll add obvious links to the actual pages in the next couple of days.

The Help Menu Removal feature should not be related to the language version of the client.

I would suggest you download and install the latest version of Formativ Runtime from http://www.advansyscorp.com/formativ_download_16.htm

Please let me know if you still have problems.

Thanks for the update. The fix referred to should be available for all versions (Runtime, Creator and Admin) from the download page within the next 48 hours.

We have prepared a test update to Formativ Runtime 2.0 that should resolve this issue. You can download it from:

http://www.advansyscorp.com/beta/formativruntime.exe

Please let us know if this version fixes the problem for you.

I’ve just tried registering Runtime V2 with the key we have on record as yours and it worked OK.

Could you please email the key you are using to support@advansyscorp.com, and a copy of the configuration information from a machine where you can’t register the software. You can access the configuration information from the main GroupWise menu: Help | About Formativ. When the about box appears, select the configuration tab. Press the ‘copy to clipboard’ button, then paste the contents of the clipboard into a message to support.

Thank you,

Dear Amy,

The only way to change the icon of a message is via a C3PO (or Formativ, which does this using the C3PO technique). There is no way to change the class type of an existing message – classname is a read-only property.

The only technique I can think of would be to write an applet that scans the mailbox and re-creates each message using the appropriate (custom) message class. You would need to use the Object API AddExistingMessage() method to do this – see the Novell Object API docs for details.

I hope this helps.

I’m guessing you are referring to the ‘Formativ Runtime’ option under ‘Enable/Disable Features’ and ‘Formativ’ under ‘Settings’ on the local config tab.

The former completely disables the loading of the main component of Formativ. It is used to physically stop Formativ from being loaded with GroupWise.

The ‘Formativ’ setting on the local config tab doesn’t stop Formativ from being loaded – it just stops most features from working. This setting is really a hang over from the eDirectory management side of things, where eDirectory can be used to stop a user from loading and running applets. However, Formativ still needs to be loaded so that it can communicate with eDirectory – hence the two different settings.

You should have both the settings enabled to run applets.

The more recent versions of Formativ 1.6 (and version 2.0) let you disable the Formativ Help menu items via a registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAdvansys Corporationformativ1.0Settings
Value Name: ‘Add Help Menu Items’ (DWORD)
Value: 1 = Add Items, 0 = Don’t add items

Unfortunatately, for the moment at least, the documentation for the controls isn’t available in a single document. You’ll find details of where you can obtain documentation for the various controls in the readme.txt file installed with Formativ.

We have two checklist controls in Formativ 2.0. I would suggest the most appropriate check list control in this case would be the TRzCheckList control, found on the ‘Enhanced’ tab of the component pallete. It has a MultiSelect property, as well as an ExtendedSelect property.
