I have just installed Oracle Power Object for Macintosh. I have
encountered the following problems (bugs ?) :
1) you can¹t tab out of a text field if multiline property is set to true
2) WinPositionX, WinPositionY property are ignored when you open a form
(with WindowInitPos set to WinPositionX/Y). Actually they have an offset
of 70,100 which means if you want a window at 0,0 you find it at 70,100 at
runtime.
3) the horizontal scroll in the form designer or the property window is a mess
4) in the declaration section of the application I declared the following
constant :
CONST shiftKey = &H38
in the Click() method of a pushbutton I have the following code :
CONST anotherShiftKey = &H38
field1.value = shiftKey
field2.value = anotherShiftKey
field3.value = &H38
the result is :
field1 = 16 Œwrong !
field2 = 121 Πabsolutely wrong !
field3 = 56 Πright one (it would be a major problem if this was
wrong too !)
this I found is related to the amount of code in the declarations section,
more than 30-40 lines would do the trick, and they call it POWER Object
:-(
Can someone confirm these problems ? They are so evident and easy to fix
that I cannot believe they slipped through a final version. Also where can
I find upgrades ? This is a $2000 joke and I don¹t like it.
Thank you all,
