Turning this bit on causes the PCT object image to be output using BMP image data. - In the PL/B Language Reference manual under the 'InnerHtml Method (PANEL) 99Ba section, make the following changes: 1. Remove the 'PLB Web Only). 2. Modify the Note (4.) to include a new value 0x2 to support a 'url' reference. Value Meaning... 0x2 This bit value allows the {htmlpage} string to be specified as a valid 'url' reference. This bit value can be used in the Plbwin, Plbnet, Plbserve, and Plbwebsrv runtimes. 3. Add the new Note (9.) described as follows: 9. In addition to the PL/B Web Server, this method is available for all Windows PL/B runtimes to allow Html to be rendered into a normal PANEL object window. This method is implemented using the Windows OS 'IWebBrowser2' interface for the Windows PL/B runtimes. - In the PL/B Web Server reference, change the 'PLBWEB_APP_SUPPORT Keyword' 99Ba section as follows: From: PLBWEB_APP_SUPPOER={on|off} To: PLBWEB_APP_SUPPORT={on|off} - In the PL/B Web Server reference, add the 'PLBWEB_USE_UI99A' keyword to 99Ba 'Server Configuration Keywords' section as follows: PLBWEB_USE_UI99A={on|off} By default this keyword is 'off' for the PL/B Web Server. This keyword can be set to 'on' to cause the PL/B Web Server runtime to load 'http_root\plbwebstart99A.html' to the client browser which invokes the use of the 'jquery-ui' support used by the PWS 9.9A and earlier runtime versions. Example: PLBWEB_USE_UI99A=on - In the PL/B Web Server reference manual in the 'Considerations' section, 99Ba remove the 'SETWTITLE' from the Note (1.). - In the PL/B Language Reference manual, in the 'SETWTITLE' instruction, 99Ba change the Note (4.) to read as follows: "4. When using the PL/B Web Server, the 'SETWTITLE' instruction sets the client browser title for the viewport tab where the PLB program is being executed." - In the PL/B Language Reference manual under the 'EXECUTE' instruction, 99Bb add a Note (21.) as follows: "21. When using the EXECUTE instruction in a PLBCLIENT/PLBSERVE application, this instruction does not execute at the client and does not show any command shell windows at the client. In this case, the EXECUTE instruction is only executed on the Application Server side." - In the PL/B Language Reference manual under the 'BATCH' instruction, 99Bb add a Note (10.) as follows: "21. When using the BATCH instruction in a PLBCLIENT/PLBSERVE application, this instruction does not execute at the client and does not show any command shell windows at the client. In this case, the BATCH instruction is only executed on the Application Server side." - In the PL/B Language Reference manual under the 'FindItem Method (LISTVIEW)', change the Note (1.) to read as follows: "The search is done using only the first column and must match the beginning of the string or the string exactly. The search is case insensitive." - In the PL/B Language Reference manual under the 'PICT' section, modify 99Bb the Notes as follows: Modify Note (3.) to read as follows: "3. Seven different image formats are supported including BMP, PCX, DCX, JPEG, GIF, TIFF and PNG. For JPEG files, only the JFIF format is supported." Add a new Note (9.) that reads as follows: "9. The PNG image is the only image that supports 'Transparent' colors. The PNG transparent color support is implemented as follows: a. When the PNG color types include a default background color type, this image default background color is used to replace image full transparent pixels encountered as the image is converted into a PICT DIB image. b. When the PNG color types include a default background color type, the PICT 'BACKSTYLE=$TRANSPARENT' property can be used to force the PICT BGCOLOR background color to be used to replace image full transparent pixels encountered as the image is converted into a PICT DIB image. The PICT 'BACKSTYLE=$TRANSPARENT' property is ONLY used for PNG images and it is ignored for ALL other image formats. c. When the PNG color types DO NOT include a default background color type, the PICT BGColor property value is used to replace the PNG image full transparent pixels that are encountered as the image is converted into a PICT DIB image. d. PNG 'partial transparent' composite image merging is NOT supported. - In the PL/B Language Reference manual, add a Note (4.) to the 99Bb 'BACKSTYLE Property' section that reads as follows: "4. When a PICT object is used in a program executed with a Windows OS runtime (i.e. PLBWIN, PLBNET, or PLBCLIENT), the BACKSTYLE property ONLY takes affect when a CREATE operation for the PICT object using a PNG image is executed. See the PICT object notes for more details for PNG images." *============================================================================== The following files have been changed as noted: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLBWEBSRV (HTML\JS\CSS) - Modified to support 9.9A changes. plbwebbasic.css 9.9Ac 170228 plbwebbasic.js 9.9Ba 170515 plbwebctls.js 9.9Ac 170302 plbwebmob.js 9.9Ab 170301 Support jQuery Mobile plbwebtvcssinfo.html 9.9 161028 plbmobstart.html 9.9B 170428 Support jQuery Mobile plbwebstart.html 9.9B 170428 plbwebstart99A.html 9.9A 170428 - Modified the PWS server to use the new version of the 'jquery' and 99Ba 'jquery-ui' support functions. New jquery file versions used by 9.9B PWS are: jquery 3.2.1 jquery-ui 1.12.1 The 'http_root' files have been changed to incude the following: http_root/css 'ui112' sub-directory http_root/js 'ui112' sub-directory jquery-1.12.4.min.js jquery-3.2.1.min.js - When the 'PLBWEB_USE_UI99A=on' keyword is used in the 'plbwebsrv.ini' 99Ba configuration file, the PWS runtime renders the 'http_root\plbwebstart99a.html' to the client browser during the client logon process. This causes the 'jquery' version use by 9.9A and earlier PWS versions to be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLBWEBSRV - Modified the SETWTITLE instruction to cause the client browser tab 99Ba title to be changed under program control. - Modified the PWS DATALIST, LISTVIEW, and TREEVIEW sorted output to be 99Ba consistent with the Windows OS controls. Note: When using a PWS DATALIST, this sort change only applies to the virtual PWS DATALIST object which is the default. If the 'PLBWEB_VDATALIST=off' keyword is used, all sorting behaviors are controlled by the client browser(s) for the HTML SELECT objects. - Added a new keyword named 'PLBWEB_USE_UI99A={on|off}'. When this 99Ba keyword is not used, the default is the same as 'off'. When this keyword is set to be 'on', the PL/B Web Server runtime loads 'http_root\plbwebstart99A.html' to the client browser whick invokes the use of the 'jquery-ui' support used by the PWS 9.9A and earlier runtime versions. - Added a new keyword named 'PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT={0|1}' that can be used 99Bb to force the SORTED property of a PWS DATALIST to enforce specialize Windows OS sorting linguistic rules. Please note the following: 1. The PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT keyword is NOT used if the keyword 'PLBWEB_VDATALIST=OFF' is being used. In addition, the PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT keyword is NOT used when the PWS server is executed on a Linux\Unix OS system. 2. By default ( i.e. PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT=0 ), the virtual PWS DATALIST applies case insensitive binary sorting of all characters when the SORTED property is turned on. Sorting in this manner gives consistent results for all PWS server platform types being used. 3. When the 'PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT=1' keyword setting is used, the virtual PWS DATALIST applies specialized Windows OS linguistic sorting rules when the SORTED property is turned on. This means that sorted PWS DATALIST items depend on the specific language rules used by the Windows OS where the PWS server is executing. - Modified the PWS LISTVIEW 'FindItem' to be consistent with the Windows 99Bb OS LISTVIEW behavior where the searching is performed in a case insensitive manner. - Corrected a bug where the ZORDER property was being used to set the PWS 99Ba WINDOW zorder being rendered to the HTML
