    - More on Data Sessions for a Function Josh, Thanks. I've been playing and it seems that the following are true: CLOSE DATABASE will close table in the current session RELEASING a session will close the tables in that session DISPLAY STATUS will show you open tables in the current session DISPLAY OBJECTS will show you sessions (and other objects) Do I seem to have it correct? My functions that want private data should simply save the session coming in, create a new one, release the created session, and then restore the saved one prior to returning. I don't need to close tables. Releasing the session does it for me. Correct? Also, my SET EXCLUSIVE and SET DELETED seem to be preserved across datasessions created in code as you outlined so they do not need to be coded again when a new session object is created. Is that correct? Thanks again.

    - Copy cut paste hotkeys not working in zoomed memo window I have a Zoom button class that opens a given memo field in a separate window and allows edit. My problem is the copy cut paste hotkeys don't work inside this window - you just get a little blob appearing. Using the menu option to copy cut paste inside the window works fine. The hotkeys work fine insdie the edit box on the main screen ok, it's just inside the defined window that they don't. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks, Bernie Beattie Tag: How To? Tag: 227674

    - CloneObject hi, I want to create a new copy of object instead of using the reference of the object like objA=objB. When I tried to search for this I encountered with NewObject(), cloneobject(), AMembers() could be used for this purpose. But I couldn't understand how the NewObject could be used. For the CloneObject, since it is available at only the design time it is not going to serve my purpose. For the AMembers() method it was giving errors when I was copying for the read only properties, so if I try to use the filter, it is giving me an error of Incorrect argument even though I use it as specified in the Microsoft help. Here the object toForm is also present. It gives the error for the last argument of [P | H | G] , but really astonishing thing is that it will not give any error if I use [P] only here. =AMEMBERS(laArray,toForm,1,[P | H | G]) Please suggest me an example with code of how a copy of an object could be done in VFP9.

    - Handling apostrophes in strings? Hi, I'm using VFP 9.0 and have run into a little problem when storing names in strings. If I have a contact's address with a street name like, O'Keefe Ave, do I have to do anything with the apostrophe to keep it from premeturely terminating the string? What I'm doing is scaning a table and exporting records to an Access database using ODBC and SQLEXEC(). To do this I'm building a string for the values component of an INSERT statement. Like this... myString = myString + "', '" + myTable.addr_1 + "', '" + myTable.addr_2 + "', '" + myTable.city + "'" What would be the best way to handle this on the fly? Or, is there a better way to perform my task? Any help is greatly appreciated, Linn Tag: How To? Tag: 227633

    - strange behaviour of form environment I have a form with three tables in the environment, standord, accounts, and utility. The INIT selects standord and creates an array which fills a listbox. This is OK and the form appears as it should, If I then SUSPEND and ? ALIAS() it tells me that utility has been selected. If I then SELECT STANDORD it tells me that standord does not exist. I have even made a temporary textbox which INIT fills with the alias in its last line, which show standord. But without any other action except suspending it, the table changes. There is nothing in the INIT which calls utility and there is no coding in ACTIVATE or anywhere else that I can find (for example in the class structure) which could select utility. Nowhere (until much later in the calling prg) do I remove standord from being used. Can anyone suggest what might be happening ? I need to select standord for the form to do some processing. -- Tim Hobson Tag: How To? Tag: 227624

    - Meta-Data or Actual Data Hey All, I want to fetch the number of records in a given table via the ODBC driver. This is not related to any particular query... Just some "statistical" information. (IE, you have 10,000 contacts in your database) I know I can use the RECCOUNT() function in FoxPro "native"... Which I assume pulls from the metadata of the table. Is there an equivilant for the ODBC driver (other than a SELECT COUNT() FROM Table, which I assume reads every record in the table) Thanks! Matt Tag: How To? Tag: 227623

    - What else is there like VFP? The original dbase and to some extent all of the xbase descendants like VFP are interactive, adhoc, one-command-at-a time, data creation, data examination, and data manipulation languages. Starting with a few commands in the Command Window, you can feel your way into a problem and eventually build a program with reports, queries, screens, etc. xbase is like a giant calculator with a ton of functions. My question is, is there any product or environment out there that has the same simplicity and flexibility as xbase? Should one be learning or experimenting with some other programming environment?

    - Updating Balance Field Hi, Just want some suggestions on the following issues. I currently have a Balance Field in my Invoice.DBF that gets updated with every payment. In a multi-user environment, I encountered a problem when the balance field was updated by two different user, with both user entering different payment amount. The balance was incorrect because the calculation was based on the user that last saved the data. eg. Invoice amount : $1,000 Invoice Balance : $1,000 User 1 - Entered $400 as Payment User 2 - Entered $500 as Payment Both user was entering their data at the same time, User 2 being the last to click the save button. Invoice Balance : $500 (which should be $100 only) I really need to maintain the Balance Field so I could trace which invoice is still unpaid. There are times that the clients pays only the latest invoice so I could not implement a running balance on the program. Thanks for any ideas or comments you can give. Tag: How To? Tag: 227588

    - Table buffering issues VFP 7 SP1 Hi all, One of my forms is using table buffering and the records are filtered using SET KEY. If two users are adding records in a grid, users A data may show on users B screen. I remember hearing somewhere this may be a bug. If it is, is it fixed in VFP 8 or 9. I am thinking this is a bug since the data is being filtered and the key value for the filter is different on both machines, also table buffering is involved here so why would one user see another users. Though I am not sure if user A saved before user B saw the data or not. VFP 7 SP1 on WinXP Sp2 and Win2K workstations. And yes we are thinking of going to version 9 sometime.

    - SAPI Memory Leak I am using SAPI V5.1 speech recognition in my VFP8 based application. I have noticed that this automation server (sapisvr.exe) keeps using more and more memory. Is this a memory leak or is this normal? The only way to release this memory is to re-start this process. Some of the details are as follows... 1. My OLE, implementing the SAPI events, is session based. I have also ensured that all 'CreateObject()' based objects are made NULL before the object references are released. 2. I have created one Public variable that references a 'container' class based object. All the objects that are required for this SAPI (and created thru createobject command) are referenced thru the custom 'properties' of this container object. 3. The application uses CFG only for short periods but is in dictation mode for most of the time. Thanks Sati Tag: How To? Tag: 227581

    - Varchar mapping, varchars & sql I'm having difficulty with the following concept. Does anyone have the patience to explain it? Situation: I have a table in which all of the char fields are type varchar and my app runs with varcharmapping on and set exact off . When it comes time to run a few simple queries I get rows with blank values when the where clause compares one of these fields to a character literal like where extension = "PJX" I have already determined that I can get the results I expect if I change this to: where extension == "PJX" but I can't understand how or why comparing an empty column value to a non-empty string can return .t. since the command line statements: ? "" = "PJX" && -> .f. and ? "PJX" = "" && -> .t. both make perfect sense to me, but the query suggests that "" = "PJX" is true.

    - Can I Intercept List.Click Before Pointer Moves VFP9 When the user clicks in my list (object), the record pointer changes and the new record is displayed just fine. Here's the setup code for the list: WITH .List1 .ControlSource = 'Jobs' .RowSourceType = 6 && 6=Fields .RowSource = 'Jobs.ModelName' ENDWITH Is there some event that occurs after the click but before the record pointer moves? Here's why I ask: I want to "intercept' the Click event and/or the Up/Dn arrow keys before the pointer moves so I can detect if any changes were made to the original record. I tried code in the InteractiveChange & Click events, but it seems these events occur only AFTER the record pointer moves to the new record. I also tried using the Valid event, but Valid doesn't seem to fire at all. I eventually kludged it to return to the original record to detect the changes, then back to the newly selected record, but I feel there must be a better way. Is there? Steve M. Tag: How To?

    - Killing a process I found some code on here a while ago ( i can't remember who posted it), which allowed you to kill a named process on a computer. As i was creating a new part of our package that lived in a seperate executable at that time, i decided to incorporate it. i recently found that the code had a slight flaw when used in a terminal server environment, where it will kill everyones process, not just the process for the user who was running it. So i did some research and came up with the following. PROCEDURE kill_it LPARAMETERS what_to_kill LOCAL user,domain,m.lcsystemstring oWMI = GETOBJECT('winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}') cQuery = "select * from win32_process where name='" +ALLTRIM(what_to_kill) +"'" oResult = oWMI.ExecQuery(cQuery) FOR EACH oProcess IN oResult m.user = "" m.domain = "" If oProcess.GetOwner ( @User, @Domain ) = 0 m.lcsystemstring = SYS(0) IF TYPE('m.user') = 'C' AND ALLTRIM(SUBSTR(m.lcsystemstring,AT(' #',m.lcsystemstring))) = ALLTRIM(m.user) oProcess.Terminate(0) ENDIF endif NEXT endproc which sounded fine, and works a treat on my local machine. however under terminal server i get an error for some users. ERROR: (1440) OLE exception error: Exception code c0000005. OLE object may be corrupt The error occurs when trying to make the getOwner call, which occording to the documentation should return a number other than 0 if it fails. instead it occasionally errors. This behavoiur would appear to be a security issue, as so far it only happens to people with user rights on the terminal server environment. So in order to get over this, i will now have to trap this error, which should never have happened in the first place! unless someone knows a work around or another way of achieving this? anyway i hope this saves someone else some heartache.

    - VFP: Finding Name of Executable I am using Adobe Acrobat to print to PDF. To do this, I have to write to the Registry the name of the executable. How do I determine this? My thoughts so far: If the app is running as a collection of .fxp files under VFP, then VFP is the actual executable. How do I find out the name of the VFP executable? (I mean the name of the .exe that is VFP.) If the app is running as an .exe, then sys(16,1) does it. If the app is running as an .exe under VFP, then VFP is the actual executable (I think). I can distinguish between this case and the one before using version(2). I think there might be other possibilities such as .app. (I have never used a .app, nor do I even know how they are created.) There is also the possibility of one .exe calling another and on and on. If I have the first three above, that should do it for my case, and I need them anyway before experimenting with the rest. This is somewhat important as my app printing will not work properly under the full VFP. This means that I would not have access to the debugger and that I would have to build the .exe each time I want to test anything to do with PDF printing. Here is my code so far: ***** Start of Included Code ***** * tryname * Try to Get Name of Executable * Last Modification: 2006-10-25 ? "*** Execution begins." set talk off local sys16name, apptype, underruntime, vfpexe, appname sys16name=sys(16,1) apptype=upper(right(sys16name,4)) underruntime=version(2)=0 vfpexe="***insert name of VFP executable***" do case case apptype=".FXP" appname=vfpexe ?

    - Bug in VFP 7 SP1 to watch out for!!!! Am I the only one who didn't know this? I have some test code that creates text files that begin with the letters CO and have no extension. So these files would be "CO*." When I do a directory for these files using DIR CO*. I get a list of the text files that I created. When I then type ERASE CO*. it does the same as if I had typed ERASE CO*.* I don't know if VFP 9 is similarly affected but this could be potentially very bad. Of all commands in the world that should know the difference between xxx*. and xxx*.* erase would be the most important. Also, VFP's erase does not put things in the recycle bin. In my case, everything important was backed up so no real trouble was caused. This is, in my opinion, a very bad bug. Jeff Tag: How To? Tag: 227509

Whenever I go to use the GRID.ActiveRow property it returns a number 1 greater than the number of order item records being displayed (filtered); no matter which row is highlighted or which row is active - e.g. 3 order item records ActiveRow returns 4 no matter which row is selected. ActiveColumn is returning the correct value. Any ideas as to what is causing this. What I am trying to do is automatically add a new record when the user is positioned on the last record and last column and presses Enter, instead of having them click a button to add the line. -- Regards Bob B.

    - oleServerBusyRaiseError Does anyone know if you can trap these errors in anyway. I have a .exe which I create within a Custom class object. I would like to trap any busy errors either within the error routine on the custom object or handle it within the .exe. As this is all new to me and the help isn't particularly helpful I am struggling a bit. currently with this property turned on a get an occasional RPC server error which is not very helpful. and if its off I occasionally get my .exe going completely non responsive causing a hang in the main application. I am currently using VFP 8, but even a fix for 9 might help, as we may well be moving to that soon. just for the record the main reason it is going none responsive is because the executable is a phone server using Tapi lines via remote Tapi and a third party activex. We occasionally get problems where this setup goes completely none responsive, and I am unable to do anything tapi related, even with other tapi utilities. I am unsure if the issue is with the TSP on the server, the remote tapi implementation or the actual phone switch. as everything else seems to be working at the time. however rebooting the domain server cures the problem. however I don't expect a resolution to that issue here, as its not a FoxPro issue. just wanted to fully explain the problems. thank you in advance for any help you can give me Mark Burgum Tag: How To?

    - Private Data for a function Hello and thanks in advance for the help. If I design a form that uses a private data session, I open and close the tables within the form and everything in the default data session is left alone. Is there an easy way to do the same thing for a function? I know I can USE AGAIN with a new ALIAS and then remember to clean up but is there a simple way to tell VFP that a function uses its own data that is separate from anything that might happen to call it? Thanks, Jeff Tag: How To? Tag: 227469

    - Comment macro or Intellisense script I'm writing a code documenting automation routine & I need a routine that will take a highlighted block of code or text and prefix each line with a short character string of my choosing ... like the Comment/Uncomment options on the Format context menu. I've tried a macro using ctrl-x, alines() & keyboarding the prefixed lines back into the code, but I can't get it to work reliably. Other suggestions? TIA -Lew Tag: How To? Tag: 227466

As for results in absolute time, e.g. seconds, the answer might be You cannot.
Because it would at least be difficult to measure the current machine hardware
capacities and impossible to guess about resources required by other current
tasks, applications running at the same time on the same CPU or on another
one on a multi CPU machine.
As for relative time, like displaying percentage or a progressbar, it might
depend on what your process actually does?

search for a progress bar/class called ptimer.vcx -- try foxite.com maybe.

It has some nice code that does a good job of estimating -- easily modified.

Find something in the process that could be counted.
