PB 2019 R2 Build 2353

Can theme folders be accessed on a terminal server folder or must the theme folders be on the users workstation.  For instance...  from a person connected to a client environment.

 

App path is not a problem; the problem is when the themes are not on the local machine, it 's not working.  PB is looking for themes to be on the local computer

ApplyTheme ("\\LAPTOP-5RNO5PJ5\c$\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Shared\PowerBuilder\theme190\Flat Design Misa")

Something like this is returning null -- not even -1

Any thoughts on using themes on a server and not on the workstation???

Thanks!!!

Hi Buck;

  FWIW: It's probably your implementation that is the problem. My STD Framework is configured for C/S, PowerClient and PowerServer "themed" Apps. They are configured and work anywhere as M-Code, P-Code or 32/64 bit compiled PB Apps are deployed (real, VM, RDP, etc) ...

  • Copy the Theme Folders from the PB IDE install location to your PB App's workspace main folder.
  • Set the Application Object Theme tab page location to the "relative" location.
  • Use the ApplyTheme command with only the theme name
    • ie: ApplyTheme ( as_theme_name )    // no path - just the primary name.

FYI: Have a look at the STD Framework's OrderEntry Demo App application. The structure of the workspace folder, the deployment folder and the Projects used to compile & deploy the App as either a C/S, PC and / or PS based application.
