Problems with Toolbars etc. disappearing

I got the What's New app running and found it useful—thanks!

However, I'm not sure if it has changed a setting on my system. Since using it, I no longer have window controls on form windows. The only way to make them appear is to toggle the File Menu and Tab Bar switches when starting my app. Unlike other settings, these switches do not save, so I have to enable them manually each time I start DataEase. If I forget and open a form, I cannot close it and have to restart DataEase.

I believe it's a setting somewhere in the database, but despite searching, I haven't been able to find it.

Any ideas?

Catalog.html

Whats new shouldn?t do anything to your overall settings but the settings in DataEase is a ?mess? after years of moving things around ;-)


There is a setup run when you first run LE9 that straighten out and move some settings around, but that should have been long done in your app.

Anyhow, the explanation of the settings is below if you want to do it in DataEase.ini ? but mostly this is control from RDRRAAA.INI that you find in the application.

There is a hierarchy with DataEase.ini being the default if its not overridden by the app in RDRRAAA.INI.

You can set and read these settings an a lot more with both GetCurrent() and DEOS()

We have included an updated Catalog.html that you can include in your Program Catalogue i.e. where DataEase is installed. This will come as part of next release but as there is quite a lot of changes and updates the new release is still some days off.

The new Catalog will save the settings in RDRRAAA.INI when you change them in catalogue.

DATAEASE.INI is located in AppData on each user




The easiest way to located it just to type %appdata% into Explorer and then go one step up and down again to Local etc.

The section you want is below, the rest should be self explanatory.
