1、Here how you get the network username using the Windows Scripting Host
OleObject wsh
Integer li_rc
wsh = CREATE OleObject
li_rc = wsh.ConnectToNewObject( &WScript.Network& )
IF li_rc = 0 THEN
MessageBox( &Domain&, String( wsh.UserDomain ) )
2、Have a button with many lines
Use PictureButton with no picture
3、Get PBL name
ClassDefinition lcd
lcd = this.ClassDefinition
MessageBox(&&, &My PBL name is & + lcd.LibraryName )
4、Time the execution
Use the CPU() function for timing. long ll_start, ll_elapsed
ll_Start = CPU ( )
**your code to time test
ll_elapsed = CPU ( ) - ll_Start
5、Retrieve an environment variable
ContextKeyword lcxk_base
string ls_Path
string ls_values[]
this.GetContextService(&Keyword&, lcxk_base)
lcxk_base.GetContextKeywords(&path&, ls_values)
IF Upperbound(ls_values) & 0 THEN
ls_Path = ls_values[1]
ls_Path = &*UNDEFINED*&
6、Detect PB version
string ls_PBver
environment env
GetEnvironment(env)
ls_PBver = string(env.pbmajorrevision) + '.' + &
string(env.pbminorrevision) + '.' + &
string(env.pbfixesrevision)
7、Make a window stay &on top&
windowname.SetPosition(TopMost!)
8、Capitalize a name
For example, to change &john smith& to &John Smith&, you can use datawindow function WordCap() ls_string ='john smith'
ls_string = dw_1.Describe ( &Evaluate('WordCap(~&& + ls_string + &~&)',0)&)
Or use the appropriate database function (if supported), for Oracle it looks like SELECT InitCap('john smith') into :ls_name
FROM dual USING SQLCA;
9、Convert an hex string to its decimal equivalent
[of_hex2long(as_hex) returns a long]
string ls_hex
integer i,length
long result = 0
length = len(as_hex)
ls_hex = Upper(as_hex)
FOR i = 1 to length
result += &
(Pos ('ABCDEF', mid(ls_hex, i, 1)) * &
( 16 ^ ( length - i ) ))
RETURN result
<span style="color:#、Convert a number to hexadecimal
[of_long2hex(long alnumber, integer ai_digit) returns a string]
long ll_temp0, ll_temp1
char lc_ret
IF ai_digit & 0 THEN
ll_temp0 = abs(al_number / (16 ^ (ai_digit - 1)))
ll_temp1 = ll_temp0 * (16 ^ (ai_digit - 1))
IF ll_temp0 & 9 THEN
lc_ret = char(ll_temp0 &#43; 55)
lc_ret = char(ll_temp0 &#43; 48)
RETURN lc_ret &#43; &
of_long2hex(al_number - ll_temp1 , ai_digit - 1)
// of_longhex(256, 4) returns &0100&
// of_longhex(256, 3) returns &100&
11、Detect if running in PB or executable
IF Handle(GetApplication()) = 0 THEN
MessageBox(&Info&, &Running in PB environment&)
MessageBox(&Info&,
12、Terminate an another application
We post the WM_QUIT message to an application (developped with Powerbuilder or not) to close it.
In this example, if the Windows Calculator is running then it will be closed from Powerscript.
The target window handle is retrieved by looking at its title. [local external function declaration]
FUNCTION ulong FindWindowA(ulong classname, String windowname) &
LIBRARY &user32.dll&
FUNCTION boolean PostMessageA(ulong hwndle,UINT wmsg,ulong wParam,ulong lParam) &
LIBRARY &user32.dll&
[powerscript]
CONSTANT uint WM_QUIT = 18 // hex 0x0012
ulong lul_handle
string ls_app
ls_app = &Calculator&
// ls_app = &Calculatrice& in french windows!
lul_handle = FindWindowA(0, ls_app)
IF lul_handle & 0 THEN
PostMessageA(lul_handle, WM_QUIT, 0, 0);
MessageBox(&Oups&, ls_app &#43; & is not running!&)
13、Use WSH-VBScript functionalities
Here how you get the network username using the Windows Scripting Host : OleObject wsh
Integer li_rc
wsh = CREATE OleObject
li_rc = wsh.ConnectToNewObject( &WScript.Network& )
IF li_rc = 0 THEN
MessageBox( &Domain&, String( wsh.UserDomain ) )
By calling WSH-VBScript functions, we can achieve some useful tasks very easily.
The next example shows you how to start Notepad and send some keys to it. OleObject wsh
Integer li_rc
wsh = CREATE OleObject
li_rc = wsh.ConnectToNewObject( &WScript.Shell& )
wsh.Run(&Notepad&)
Sleep(500)
wsh.AppActivate(&Untitled - Notepad&)
wsh.SendKeys(&hello from PB&)
The declaration for the Sleep API is [local external function declaration]
SUBROUTINE Sleep(Long lMilliSec) LIBRARY &Kernel32.dll&
NOTE: Recent version of WSH have their own Sleep function.
This one is calling the Windows Calculator ole O B J E C T wsh
long ll_rc
wsh = CREATE ole O B J E C T
ll_rc = wsh.ConnectToNewObject(&WScript.Shell&)
IF ll_rc & 0 THEN
messagebox(&error&,&error&)
wsh.Run( &calc&)
Sleep (100)
wsh.AppActivate( &Calculator&)
Sleep (100)
wsh.SendKeys( &1{&#43;}&)
Sleep (500)
wsh.SendKeys (&2&)
Sleep (500)
wsh.SendKeys( &=&)
Sleep (500)
wsh.SendKeys( &*4& )
Sleep (500)
wsh.SendKeys( &=& )
// 1&#43;2 = 3 * 4 = 12
SendKeys can send &special key& using the following code : BACKSPACE {BACKSPACE}, {BS}, or {BKSP}
BREAK {BREAK}
CAPS LOCK {CAPSLOCK}
DEL or DELETE {DELETE} or {DEL}
DOWN ARROW {DOWN}
ENTER {ENTER} or ~
HELP {HELP}
HOME {HOME}
INS or INSERT {INSERT} or {INS}
LEFT ARROW {LEFT}
NUM LOCK {NUMLOCK}
PAGE DOWN {PGDN}
PAGE UP {PGUP}
PRINT SCREEN {PRTSC}
RIGHT ARROW {RIGHT}
SCROLL LOCK {SCROLLLOCK}
UP ARROW {UP}
SHIFT &#43;
You can use some vbscript to do things which can't be done easily in powerscript like binary operations : OleObject wsh
Integer li_rc, i, j , k
wsh = CREATE OleObject
li_rc = wsh.ConnectToNewObject( &MSScriptControl.ScriptControl& )
wsh.language = &vbscript&
k = integer(wsh.Eval( string(i) &#43; & xor & &#43; string(j)))
MessageBox( &Result& , string(i) &#43; & xor & &#43; string(2) &#43; & = & &#43; string(k))
Call the Windows RUN dialog : OleObject wsh
wsh = CREATE OleObject
wsh.ConnectToNewObject( &Shell.Application& )
wsh.filerun
You can even create some VBScript code on the fly with PB and execute it. OleObject wsh
Integer li_rc, i, j , k
wsh = CREATE OleObject
li_rc = wsh.ConnectToNewObject( &MSScriptControl.ScriptControl& )
wsh.language = &vbscript&
wsh.addcode(&function retfnc(s) retfnc=s end function&)
wsh.executestatement ('msgbox retfnc(&true&)')
14、Start a dial-up connection
string command
command='rundll rnaui.dll,RnaDial YourConnection' // case sensitive
Run(command)
15、Start/Stop services
run( &NET START ServiceName& )
run( &NET STOP ServiceName& )
16、Display default email window to type and send an email
run(&rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler & &#43; &
17、Use RunDll32 utility
RunDll32 executable can be used to start various Windows utility like the Control Panel.

37、Animate a Window
Starting with Win98, a new API is available to add a special effect to your application. The AnimateWindow() is very easy to use, you simply need to pass your window's handle, a delay and some flags to specify the desired effect. These effects are designed
to enhance the opening or closing of a window. [local function declaration]
FUNCTION boolean AnimateWindow( long lhWnd, long lTm, long lFlags) &
LIBRARY 'user32'
[instance variable]
CONSTANT LONG AW_HOR_POSITIVE = 1
CONSTANT LONG AW_HOR_NEGATIVE = 2
CONSTANT LONG AW_VER_POSITIVE = 4
CONSTANT LONG AW_VER_NEGATIVE = 8
CONSTANT LONG AW_CENTER = 16
CONSTANT LONG AW_HIDE = 65536
CONSTANT LONG AW_ACTIVATE = 131072
CONSTANT LONG AW_SLIDE = 262144
CONSTANT LONG AW_BLEND = 524288
[powerscript, open event]
// slide right to left
AnimateWindow ( Handle( this ),500,AW_HOR_NEGATIVE)
// slide left to right
AnimateWindow ( Handle( this ),500,AW_HOR_POSITIVE)
// slide top to bottom
AnimateWindow ( Handle( this ),500,AW_VER_POSITIVE)
// slide bottom to top
AnimateWindow ( Handle( this ),500,AW_VER_NEGATIVE)
// from center expand
AnimateWindow ( Handle( this ),500,AW_CENTER)
// reveal diagonnally
AnimateWindow ( Handle( this ),500,AW_VER_NEGATIVE &#43; AW_HOR_NEGATIVE)
Here some notes about the flags (from MSDN) AW_SLIDE Uses slide animation.
By default, roll animation is used.
This flag is ignored when used with the AW_CENTER flag.
AW_ACTIVATE Activates the window. Do not use this flag with AW_HIDE.
AW_BLEND Uses a fade effect.
This flag can be used only if hwnd is a top-level window.
AW_HIDE Hides the window. By default, the window is shown.
AW_CENTER Makes the window appear to collapse inward
if the AW_HIDE flag is used or expand outward
if the AW_HIDE flag is not used.
AW_HOR_POSITIVE Animates the window from left to right.
This flag can be used with roll or slide animation.
It is ignored when used with the AW_CENTER flag.
AW_HOR_NEGATIVE Animates the window from right to left.
This flag can be used with roll or slide animation.
It is ignored when used with the AW_CENTER flag.
AW_VER_POSITIVE Animates the window from top to bottom.
This flag can be used with roll or slide animation.
It is ignored when used with the AW_CENTER flag.
AW_VER_NEGATIVE Animates the window from bottom to top.
This flag can be used with roll or slide animation.
It is ignored when used with the AW_CENTER flag.
<span style="color:#、Use Microsoft Crypto API
With almost all Windows installation, the Microsoft Crypto API is available.
CryptoAPI 1.0 is provided through Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and later. CryptoAPI 1.0 will also ship with the Windows 95 update.
Microsoft provides a separate COM O B J E C T to make it easy to exploit this API from VBScript or Powerbuilder. But you need to installed the COM O B J E C T before using it. This How-to will show you how to call directly the Crypto DLL.
The n_cst_crypto O B J E C T can encrypt/decrypt a string based on a given key. This can be used to encrypt user/password entries in INI file for example.
Based on this Visual Basic example, the PB7 PBL containing the n_cst_crypto O B J E C T can be download from here.
Many thanks to Martyn Bannister for VB to PB development.
To encrypt a string n_cst_crypto lnv_crypt
string ls_encrypted
lnv_crypt = CREATE n_cst_crypto
ls_encrypted = lnv_crypt.EncryptData(&my sensitive data& , &SecretKey&)
DESTROY lnv_crypt
To decrypt a string n_cst_crypto lnv_crypt
string ls_decrypted
lnv_crypt = CREATE n_cst_crypto
ls_decrypted = lnv_crypt.DecryptData(is_crypted , &SecretKey&)
DESTROY lnv_crypt
39、Get Windows OS version
You can't rely on the PB Environment Object because it doesn't return enough details. For on W2K system, the Environment returns NT as the operating system. A better way is to call directly the Win API to query the OS version. [local external function]
FUNCTION ulong GetVersionExA( REF str_osversioninfo lpVersionInfo ) &
LIBRARY &kernel32.dll&
the required structure [str_osversioninfo]
ulong dwOSVersionInfoSize
ulong dwmajorversion
ulong dwminorversion
ulong dwbuildnumber
ulong dwplatformid
character szcsdverion[128]
the possible values dwMajorVersion
Windows 95: 4
Windows 98 4
Windows ME 4
Windows NT 3.51 3
Windows NT 4 4
Windows 2000 5
Windows XP 5
dwMinorVersion
Windows 95 0
Windows 98 10
Windows ME 90
Windows NT 3.51 51
Windows NT 4 0
Windows 2000 0
Windows XP 1
To distinguish between 95 and NT, you also need to check the dwPlatformId value VER_PLATFORM_WIN32s 0
VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS 1 // WIN95
VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT 2 // NT
and from Powerscript, for example str_osversioninfo lstr_osver
lstr_osver.dwosversioninfosize = 148
GetVersionExA( lstr_osver )
IF (lstr_osver.dwmajorversion = 5 AND lstr_osver.dwminorversion = 1) THEN
MessageBox(&&, &Running on XP&);
40、Make a window unmoveable
Map pbm_nclbuttondown to your own user event, then from your user event IF hittestcode = 2 THEN // HTCAPTION
message.processed = TRUE
41、Retrieve window handle by its title
[local fucntion declaration]
FUNCTION ulong FindWindowA(ulong classname,string windowname) &
LIBRARY &user32.dll&
[powerscript]
public function unsignedlong uf_findwindow (string as_name);
// as_name: Name of window (case sensitive)
// Returns: Window handle or zero if not found
ulong ul_class
SetNull(ul_class)
RETURN FindWindowA(ul_class,as_name)
<span style="color:#、Have a transparent window
[Available on W2K or better] A cool effect giving a see-through window. [local external function]

LIBRARY &USER32.DLL&
[powerscript]
CONSTANT long LWA_COLORKEY = 1, LWA_ALPHA = 2
CONSTANT long GWL_EXSTYLE = - 20
CONSTANT long WS_EX_LAYERED = 524288 //2^19
long ll_Ret, ll_handle
// or-bitwise function
OleObject wsh
wsh = CREATE OleObject
wsh.ConnectToNewObject( &MSScriptControl.ScriptControl& )
wsh.language = &vbscript&
ll_handle = Handle (this) // handle of the window
ll_Ret = GetWindowLong(ll_handle, GWL_EXSTYLE)
ll_Ret = wsh.Eval(string(ll_ret) &#43; & or & &#43; string(WS_EX_LAYERED))
SetWindowLong (ll_handle, GWL_EXSTYLE, ll_Ret)
// Set the opacity of the layered window to 128 (transparent)
SetLayeredWindowAttributes (ll_handle, 0, char(128),LWA_ALPHA)
// Set the opacity of the layered window to 255 (opaque)
// SetLayeredWindowAttributes (ll_handle, 0, char(255),LWA_ALPHA)
<span style="color:#、Bypass Window Error popup message
[local external function]
FUNCTION ulong SetErrorMode(ulong uMode) LIBRARY &KERNEL32.DLL&
The possible parameter values are: CONSTANT ulong SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS 1
CONSTANT ulong SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX 2
CONSTANT ulong SEM_NOALIGNMENTFAULTEXCEPT 4
CONSTANT ulong SEM_NOOPENFILEERRORBOX 32768
44、Get hard disk serial number
[local external function declaration]
FUNCTION long GetVolumeInformation &
(string lpRootPathName, REF string lpVolumeNameBuffer, long nVolumeNameSize, &
REF long lpVolumeSerialNumber, REF long lpMaximumComponentLength, &
REF long lpFileSystemFlags, REF string lpFileSystemNameBuffer, &
long nFileSystemNameSize) &
LIBRARY &Kernel32.dll& ALIAS FOR &GetVolumeInformationA&
[powerscript]
String ls_volbuffer, ls_fsname
Long ll_serial, ll_MaxCompLength, ll_FileSystemFlags, ll_rtn
ls_volbuffer = Space(255)
ls_fsname = Space(255)
ll_maxCompLength = 0
ll_FileSystemFlags = 0
ll_rtn = GetVolumeinformation(&C:/&, ls_volbuffer, 255, ll_serial, &
ll_MaxCompLength, ll_FileSystemFlags , ls_fsname, 255)
// ls volbuffer - volume name
// ll_serial - hard disk serial number
// ls_fsname - file system name ex. NTFS
