HP ELOQUENCE A.06.30 - patch 0010250

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch fixes a defect of the 16 and 32bit dlgsrv(32) GUI drivers
for the Windows platform as released with A.06.30. This patch will be
integrated in the A.06.30 release. A.06.30 must be installed before
applying this patch.

Severity:
 NORMAL


Fixed problems:
---------------

* DLG SET ".focus" applied to a container object (dialog/window or
  groupbox) now sets the focus to the first sensitive object inside the
  container object.

* If an object does not specify its own .help attribute the dlgsrv
  did not always fallback to the parent object's one.

* The following problems concerning on-line help DDE communications
  have been fixed:

  "Module ... is not active and I don't know how to start it"

  If this message is displayed although the on-line help browser has
  started successfully, you can now configure an additional wait
  interval which takes place immediately after the browser is launched
  and before the first DDE transaction is initiated. This can be
  specified in the [DlgSrv] section of your HP Eloquence client
  configuration file:

  HelpDDEWait=2500

  The value is specified in milliseconds, thus 2500 is equivalent to
  2.5 seconds.

  Please note that for technical reasons the HelpDDEWait configuration
  item has no effect with the 16bit dlgsrv. For the 32bit dlgsrv32 we
  decided to set the wait interval to 2.5 seconds by default which has
  proved to be appropriate in most cases, so normally it should not
  be necessary to configure HelpDDEWait at all.

  "DDE server did not acknowledge"

  If this message is displayed the internal DDE timeout has expired.
  While this was formerly set internally to 10 seconds it can now
  be configured in the [DlgSrv] section as well. Furthermore, the
  default value has been increased to 15 seconds:

  HelpDDETimeout=15000

  The value is specified in milliseconds, thus 15000 is equivalent to
  15 seconds.

  For the 32bit dlgsrv32, the client configuration file is named
  'eloqcl.ini' and is located in the etc subdirectory of your HP
  Eloquence installation, for example
  C:/Programs/Hewlett-Packard/HP Eloquence/etc/eloqcl.ini.
  For the 16bit dlgsrv, it is named 'eloq.ini' and is located in the
  Windows directory, for example C:/Windows/eloq.ini.


New Functionality
-----------------

Platforms: Windows

* The on-line help browser now can be configured in the [DlgSrv]
  section of your HP Eloquence client configuration file:

  HelpDDEModule=netscape

  For the 32bit dlgsrv32, this is the eloqcl.ini file located in the
  etc subdirectory of your HP Eloquence installation, for example
  C:/Programs/Hewlett-Packard/HP Eloquence/etc/eloqcl.ini.
  For the 16bit dlgsrv, this is the eloq.ini file located in the
  Windows directory, for example C:/Windows/eloq.ini.

  The default value is "netscape" which is the internal module name
  of the Netscape Navigator/Communicator. You can replace it with the
  module name of any HTML viewer which is aware of the "WWW_OpenURL"
  and "WWW_Activate" DDE topics.

  For example, to use the MS Internet Explorer instead of the Netscape
  browser, just specify:

  HelpDDEModule=iexplore

  Furthermore, you should specify an additional module path so the
  MS Internet Explorer can be started in case it's not already running.
  This is configured in the [Modules] section of the same configuration
  file:

  [modules]
  iexplore="C:\Program Files\Plus!\Microsoft Internet\Iexplore.exe"

  Replace this with the real location of the MS Internet Explorer
  executable on your particular system.
