Hi Dev! Thanks for the link. Dan did a lot of great work with EGL back in the day. I have some notes myself from the projects I did back then. I hope to work on it a little this weekend.

Hi Joe,
There is short tutorial on youTube to call RPG programs from RUI. This may be useful.

Thanks, Tom! I must have done something wrong because I changed the setting, re-generated my project, re-deployed it and I still get the same error. But it's not a critical issue right now, and I can come back to it later.

Hi Joe
For Bootstrap widgets to work in Rich UI editor and preview pane, you need to set the default rendering engine to Chromium. In EGL preferences->Rich UI->Appearance
The issue with Bootstrap Sample's Gallery.egl is a known issue that the development team is looking into.

Thanks, Tom! I found the ZIP files and imported the Bootstrap samples (to start). Everything worked fine, except that evidently date fields don't work in whatever browser is being used in the workspace. I got the error "type date for BSTextField is not supported in the current browser". I made a quick patch to see the exception and it turns out I'm getting "CRRUIS2006E, Invalid argument". No problem, I commented out the date field, and I was able to run the individual widgets just fine. Then I tried to run the Gallery example so I could see all the widgets and I got a few more errors, mostly saying that an object doesn't support property or method getClass. I got that error on three widgets so far: BSPopover, BSTooltip and BSGridLayout. But the basic process worked, so I decided to move to Dojo instead. That Gallery is working fine, so I'm going to move forward with that for now. If you'd like, I can continue to provide my findings regarding the Bootstrap sample gallery. Thank you again!

Hi Joe
The samples can be found in the shared install directory IBMIMShared\plugins\com.ibm.etools.examples.egl\install.
RUISamples.zip is the samples project for the RUI Widgets
com.ibm.egl.rui.bootstrap.samples.zip is the samples project for Bootstrap Widgets
com.ibm.egl.rui.cordova.samples.zip is the samples project for Cordova Widgets
com.ibm.egl.rui.dojo.samples.zip is the samples project for Dojo Widgets
com.ibm.egl.rui.ionic.samples.zip is the samples project for Ionic Widgets
As for your help error, did you install RBD with the "local help" option? This is required for importing the samples via help.

Okay, maybe someone from the development team can tell us more. I really like samples, they make my life easier!

Hello Joe,
The examples are indeed hard to find anymore. I have tested it in RBD 9.6.0.1 .
I don't know if this is fixed in RBD 9.7.
Still we are using a lot of them in our applications.

So I'm returning to EGL after a long absence, and I wanted to get started with some simple refreshers. I want to use Rich UI, and I wonder if that's still a recommended direction. I thought I'd go in and run the samples, but I get errors when trying to load them. Specifically when I try to get the samples for the Dojo widgets, my browser comes up and says it can't reach 127.0.0.1:51483/help/topic/com.ibm.egl.ruipreviews.sample.doc/samples/com.ibm.egl.rui.dojo.samples.zip. Is there something I need to do to get the help server running on port 51483? Are the samples still available or are they perhaps out of date? I can continue to move ahead, but the more samples I have the better! Thanks!
