Clarion AnyScreen - Clarion

FWIW: Here is the list of DLLs in my (working) test folder. My hand coded test program is not more complex than yours.

Do you have all of those present?

02/07/2020  12:27 PM         1,093,248 ClaAnyScreen.dll
02/07/2020  12:27 PM           105,088 ClaAnyScreenNet.dll
02/07/2020  12:27 PM           117,376 ClaAnyScreenSSL.dll
01/31/2020  01:30 PM            75,288 ClaASC.dll
01/31/2020  01:31 PM            64,536 ClaDOS.dll
01/31/2020  01:31 PM            80,408 ClaOLE.dll
01/31/2020  01:31 PM         1,798,288 ClaRUN.dll

but also make sure you have the _AnyScreenPresent_=>1 switch

totalhip · February 27, 2020, 6:02pm

Interesting.
AnyScreenPresent =>1 switch is set.
The docs state 7z.exe is required in the test folder and I have that.
However, the docs do NOT mention ClaAnyScreenSSL.dll.
Unfortunately, after a copy to the test folder, I still get nothing.
Project file is checked for Copy Referenced Dlls to output directory.
Clearly something odd. Have now uninstalled/reinstalled v13505 multiple times.

totalhip your program above works fine for me.
In the application folder you need the following…

AnyScreenPDF.dll
ClaAnyScreen.dll
ClaAnyScreenNet.dll
ClaASC.dll
ClaDOS.dll
ClaOLE.dll
ClaRUN.dll

Graham_Dawson · February 27, 2020, 8:37pm

…and remember you must compile with the ‘Link mode’ set to DLL in your Project options. (local mode isn’t supported)

totalhip · February 27, 2020, 10:37pm

Thank you, Graham.
Yes, DLL has been set and frequently checked.
It is oddly reassuring to see your screen post and understand that I’m the ignorant one.
Has definitely reminded me of the Einstein insanity definition.

Hi Douglas.

When you have already tested the AnyScreen Server, could you tell me how do you do to run it on a web browser please ?

Thx a lot,

Philippe

Philippe_LAMBERT · February 28, 2020, 9:20am

For me, I’v got this

What’s wrong ?

Philippe_LAMBERT · February 28, 2020, 9:31am

Sorry. I found my mistake !!!

I’ve not add the library. It’s running now

Graham_Dawson · February 28, 2020, 11:11am

Phillippe and TotalHip - most important thing for you to do is to subscribe to the sv.clarion.anyscreen newsgroup on the discuss.softvelocity.com newsgroup server.
Default username and password are setup as your old Clarion 6 licence number. If you don’t have that contact SoftVelocity and get a valid username and password so you can log into the newsgroups.

Both Marko Golem and Sanjin Marzic of Riis (the developers of AnyScreen) are active on that newsgroup and a lot of the questions you’re asking have already been asked and answered there.

If you want a free Windows newsgroup reader try MesNews

Philippe_LAMBERT · February 28, 2020, 12:10pm

Thanks Graham. But could you explain me how to find this number because I don’t have the C6 Clarion serial. Thx a lot again…(purchase the 11PE, EE and AnyScreen server). Began to code with Clarion since the version 2…

Philippe_LAMBERT · February 28, 2020, 12:19pm

Ok I will ask @softvelocity team…

Thx

Graham_Dawson · February 28, 2020, 12:43pm

Hi Phillippe,

Try [email protected] and ask Doreen Williamson for a newsgroup username and password

Philippe_LAMBERT · February 28, 2020, 1:28pm

Thanks Graham it’s what I do

Philippe_LAMBERT · February 28, 2020, 1:30pm

Just one question Graham. Is it normal that the NNTP server doesn’t respond ? Thx. FYI Anyscreen is working well and I wan’t to know how to publish with a browser and a lot of questions too :=)

Philippe_LAMBERT · February 28, 2020, 1:46pm

Hi Graham I’m on the NewsGroup Thanks

totalhip · February 28, 2020, 2:07pm

Unfortunately Graham, I received a lifetime ban from the newsgroup for the heretical statement that “SV lost more customers from the Clarion.net fiasco than they had ever lost from negative statements in the newsgroup.” Silly me for defending another developer’s right to complain about non-delivery.

Fortunately, Marko and Sanjin not only do nice work but it sounds like they continue to be open & committed to communicating with users.

Graham_Dawson · February 28, 2020, 2:56pm

Hi Douglas,

You’re not the only one who’s been banned from the newsgroups.
I was also removed at one stage after complaining about .NET, only an intervention from the late JP at DMC (who emailed RZ personally) got me back on (years ago now I know).

I’d email [email protected] and ask for your access to be restored.
I emailed him to get Mike Duglas back on after his ban.
Robert is naturally very defensive about Clarion in general but he’s not unreasonable and if you’ve continued to subscribe to Clarion and are considering AnyScreen I’m sure he’ll let you back on.

totalhip · February 28, 2020, 3:29pm

Graham,

I am honored to have been in such company.
It would be a joy to some day discuss “unreasonable” over beers at a DevCon (Z included).
The Clarion.net issue is long gone. SV has a new, very promising product.

Philippe_LAMBERT · February 28, 2020, 10:30pm

Everything is ok now and work perfectly !!! Very good job !

Thanks,

Philippe
