Windows 2000

Herve,

We have been running a Forte 3.0.M.7 client on Windows 2000 for just over a

month. The only difference our testing found is that Forte's "System

Default" portable font now displays 6 point fonts whereas on Windows NT the

smallest displayable font size was 8 (even though Forte allowed you to

choose a 6 point system default font under WinNT, an 8 point font would

still be displayed).

Hi,

I've been using Forté 3.0.m.2 on Windows 2000 (5.00.2195 service pack 1)

for two months now.

I'm mostly developing in WebEnterprise on my PC, while the repository and

the deployment platform is

Sun Solaris.

The problems I've encountered so far are :

- debugging WebEnterprise doesn't work (debugging a GUI-application works

well though !),

- sometimes, if a workshop window is already open, clicking on its

reference from within another workshop

doesn't give the focus to the former window (it remains hidden).

Best regards,

Kristof Verschaetse

Does anybody know of any problems Forté 3.0.m.2 applications have running

on

a Windows 2000 operating system?

Thanks,

Shane Berman

Hi Jean,

Forte uses SetForegroundWindow() API function to grab focus. For Windows 98

and 2000, Microsoft changed the behaviour of SetForegroundWindow(). The

system restricts which processes can set the foreground window. For example:

it must be a foreground process, received the last input event. It means

that Forte internal code (run-time-system)

using SetForegroundWindows() must be changed for Windows 2000.

I think, Forte is working on this issue now.

One of the possible workarounds is described in the Microsoft's technote:

Q97925, but it

needs changes in the Forte RTS. The method:

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT, 0, (LPVOID)0,

SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE | SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE);

allows SetForegroundWindow() on Windows 2000 to behave the same as on

Windows NT.

Unfortunately there is no configuration parameter in the Control Panel to

configure this

behaviour.

Zenon Adamek
