(Windows only)
Indicates
whether the AVM follows Progress Version 6 rules or Progress Version
7 rules when it lays out and displays widgets in Windows. This attribute lets
you compile and execute Progress Version 6 applications on Progress Version
7 in Windows.
Data type: LOGICAL
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies
to:
SESSION system handle
If
the V6DISPLAY attribute is TRUE, the AVM uses Version 6 rules to manage
the display. That is:
- The default font is the default
system fixed pitch font (overridable using the DefaultFixedFont
parameter in the current environment, which might be the Registry
(Windows only) or an initialization file).
- All fill-ins have no borders.
- Fill-ins enabled for input use an underline version of the system
fixed pitch font (overridable using the DefaultUpdateFont parameter
in the current environment, which might be the Registry (Windows
only) or an initialization file).
- The default window size (row/column) is 25 by 80 (overridable
in the current environment, which might be the Registry (Windows
only) or an initialization file).
Note: PUT
SCREEN output is not restorable in graphical environments.
To
run an application with V6DISPLAY set to TRUE, you must compile the
application with the V6DISPLAY set to TRUE.
Note:
- The OpenEdge ADE toolset was not compiled or designed to run in V6DISPLAY mode.
Running the OpenEdge ADE in V6DISPLAY mode may result in clipped display elements and
other unexpected behavior.
- Setting V6DISPLAY to TRUE when running the OpenEdge ADE toolset may also degrade
application compilation performance.
This
attribute provides the same functionality as the V6Display parameter in
the current environment, which might be the Registry (Windows only)
or an initialization file. For more information on environments,
see the chapter on user interface environments in OpenEdge
Deployment: Managing ABL Applications.
