Thanks for sharing that Chris.

Anyway, I believe that this is a point where documentation needs to be improved.

Thank you for sharing Chris , but it didn't help much :(



Last try..

Usually all the users have 2 language defined in each computer - English (default) and Hebrew

DefaultKeyboardLayout is English



In PB.ini I added:

[Data Window]

ForgetColumnKeyboardLayout=yes

useDefaultKeyboardLayout=yes



And it solved the problem but not in 100%

There are still a couple of users that face the same problem

What is missing?



The problem is :

When you open some window with dw (with select behind it), the focus goes to specific column for example WITHOUT Right-to-left defined - start to write in it - should write in English, press Tab or click with the mouse on another column WITH Right-to-left defined - start to write in it - should write in Hebrew and so on...



In PB12.5 it works fine.



Regards,

Marina

Hi Marina;

Sounds like opening a Support Ticket with a simple test case PB App for this issue might be the next step. I would suggest supplying the test case in PB 12.5 and then Appeon Support can migrate the code through 12.6, 2017Rx and then 2019Rx to see where it might be breaking.

Hi Marina.

Yes you have to deploy the pb.ini in the same folder where you executable is located.

This pb.ini needs to contain only those specific params that you exe needs to work as you want.

Hi Andreas,



Where can I find the hole list of the params that I can use in PB.ini?

I don't believe there is such a list. Many of those may be undocumented. Some of them may appear in help files.

Should I deploy PB.ini?

If yes, what does this mean? 

On my computer in Runtime environment - all the problematic columns that the users complain about, works fine...

I added to PB.ini

this option, that we had in previous PB12.5 version: 

[Data Window]
useDefaultKeyboardLayout=yes

 

It solved the RTL issue in some DWs , but not in all.

The columns are columns from the select behind the DW. Text , Style - Edit, RTL columns.

In previous PB12.5 version Runtime it worked perfect.

 

Regards,

Marina

Hi Marina;

I am not sure if this might help but it might be worth a try in your PB.INI file, as follows:

[Data Window]

; Automatically reset keyboard layout (yes)

ForgetColumnKeyboardLayout=yes

Hi Chris,



I added this to pb.in:



[Data Window]

ForgetColumnKeyboardLayout=yes

useDefaultKeyboardLayout=yes



For now it solved the problems in all tested windows... Hope for good..



Thank you!

Marina

Hi Marina;

  Do you mean Rich Text Edit style on a column ... RTE?

Please open a support ticket and provide test case so Appeon engineers can reproduce your issue.  Thanks.
