Powerbuilder app showing strange characters.

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have some problems when I try to manage the display-only property on certain row in a datawindow.
The problem is that switching to another row using down-arrow inserts some random Chinese characters, like in this picture. (always the same characters)

PB version: 12.6

This is a simple app I made in order to be able to show you the problem. The only coding that exists in the app is the following:

main->dw_1-> rowfocuschanged():

    Event of_managereadonly(currentrow)

main->dw_1-> of_managereadonly():

If This.Describe( "DataWindow.ReadOnly" ) = 'yes' Then
	This.Modify( "DataWindow.ReadOnly=False" )
End If


int li_index
If ( This.GetItemNumber(currentRow, "f_access") = 1 ) Then
	for li_index = 1 to 1 
		This.Modify("char_"+string(li_index)+".protect='0'")
	
		If (This.Describe("char_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly") <> "yes") Then
			This.Modify("char_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly=True")
		End If
	
	next
	
	for li_index = 1 to 2 
		This.Modify("num_"+string(li_index)+".protect='0'")


		If (This.Describe("num_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly") <> "yes") Then
			This.Modify("num_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly=True")
		End If


	next




	for li_index = 1 to 1
		This.Modify("date_"+string(li_index)+".protect='0'")
		If (This.Describe("date_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly") <> "yes") Then
			This.Modify("date_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly=True")
		End If
	next


Else
	for li_index = 1 to 1 


		If (This.Describe("char_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly") <> "no") Then
			This.Modify("char_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly=False")
		End If


	next
	for li_index = 1 to 2


		If (This.Describe("num_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly") <> "no") Then
			This.Modify("num_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly=False")
		End If


	next


	for li_index = 1 to 1
		If (This.Describe("date_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly") <> "no") Then
			This.Modify("date_"+string(li_index)+".Edit.DisplayOnly=False")
		End If
	next	


End If


Return 1

Does any of you confronted with this problem or knows a way to fix it?

Kind regards,

Hi Patricia, and thanks for the answer.

I'm currently using build 3506.

Hi Andrei,

What build of PB 12.6 are you using? This looks like a fixed bug in the GA version of PB 12.6 (build 3506) that has been fixed.

Please try updating to the latest EBF.

Andrei,

Please update to the latest EBF, 12.6 SP00 PL15 (build 4220).

This looks like a known fixed issue (CR 771544) in the GA release (build 3506) that is fixed in any build 4011 or higher. If not fixed in the latest EBF, please open a support incident for this.

Andrei,

With that build, you will see these strange characters. It was a bug that has been fixed but to see the fix you must upgrade, there was not a workaround.
