    - Put Object on _Screen in front In VFP 8, I created a container class and added it to the screen with _screen.AddObject to use it as a Status Bar. But it is possible to drag VFP windows over it. In the Original VFP-Status Bar you can't. So my question: Is it possible to put the container in Front ? I tried Z-Order but this didn't help or is the Screen and the object on it always in the back ? Thanks -Florian Tag: Another question that doesn't really belong here but since you are my people....

    - create failure in select command Hi, need some help...

    - Barcode - scanning from com3 Hi, I have a barcode scanner (SF51 manufacturer Intermec) It work's with bluetooth and is installed on com3. To let it works in windows you can youse Hyperteminal and set the incomming port to com3. To use it in notepad you have to youse the accessibility from windows and set the serial port to com3. on this way he works like a wedge scanner. the data from the scanner is than in QWERTY but in belgium we all work with AZERTY (this is could be a bug in windows). is it possible to use the scanner in fox using the com3 using MScomm.

    - Import (not append) CSV file? Import (not append) CSV file? I know how to Append from a CSV comma delimited file to an existing database, but that requires 1) determining how many fields are needed 2) making sure each field is long enough to accomodate whatever length data may be found in the CSV file etc. 3) creating the table 4) Doing the actual append Is there a a) way within Visual FoxPro 6 itself or b) free third party utility that will quickly convert a CSV file to a FoxPro .dbf with 1)the proper number of fields 2) minimum required field length so as to avoid any data truncation for each field?

    - BeforeNavigate2 won't fire for HTTP Post I am using the "Microsoft Web Brower" control (shdocvw.dll version 6.0.2900.2180) on a VFP 8 form. The BeforeNavigate2 event fires fine for any links I place in the HTML - but posting a form with a submit button will not fire it. I have been able to put an HTML form button with an onclick() that navigates (and fires the event), but I want to use submit so the same HTML works in both VFP and in a C++ environment too. Yes, to my great disappointment, the HTTP Post works in C++. Has anyone gotten an HTTP Post to fire the BeforeNavigate2 event in VFP?

    - Problem with SELECT [alias] I have a screen which has a list of calls and actions, listed by the latest date. Each 'call' can be handled alone or I can create an 'action' related to this call. I use 4 tables in a database. 'Calls' which may have a bunch of 'Call_Interventions', and 'Actions' which may also have a bunch of 'Action_Interventions' (both have a SET RELATION). So, from that screen, I click on an action ID and I open another screen which list the details on that action and a list of interventions, if there are any. This works fine. For the call, I have the same process. I click on a call ID and this should open the call details screen with a series of interventions done by the operator. I do a 'SELECT Calls' but the 'select' curiously stays on the 'Actions' database. I placed a bunch of 'SELECT Calls' in the calling screen, in the Init, in the function that refreshes some specific area of the screen, but it stays on 'Actions'. Curiously, the Call data is OK but I have all the call interventions instead of only those related to this call. By looking at the Data Session, I see that both relations are still in effect. Actually, if I click on 'Calls' manually, it works. It works also when I run it in Debug/trace... strange and frustrating. Can you help? (I hope I am clear enough...)

    - SQL Update in VFP7.0? I've got two tables, identical structures, and want to update rows in the first from matching but "later" (ie edited later) rows in the second. I'd like to do it "properly", ie with SQL and not just one row at a time. The help vaguely implies that I might be able to do this ("subqueries are supported" it says). I'm trying to do something like : UPDATE FirstTable SET <all the fields using corresponding fields in the second table> WHERE (SELECT * from SecondTable WHERE <id fields match>) which VFP tells me is an illegal use of the subquery. Can anyone tell me how to do this, or if I can't (in 7). If the latter, will 8 or 9 do it? Regards Mark Tag: Another question that doesn't really belong here but since you are my people....

    - - How do I rename print-to-file filename at runtime? I am trying to convert a bunch of different format files (.jpg/.pdf/.doc) to .pcl (print-to-file) in a batch procedure. I've used shellexecute to open the files (with an associated application) and then send them to a printer that is set up to print to a particular file name (myprint.pcl). In particular, The printer is configured to a particular file name local port (c:\print_files\myprint.pcl) so that, if anything is sent to this printer, the output is redirected to this particular file (not the printer itself). The problem with this is that myprint.pcl is overwritten every time a new file is being sent for printing. How can I get this resolved i.e. how can I rename the default file name (myprint.pcl to say my_batch_file_name.pcl) at runtime before printing to it? Ideally, I would be looking for an API that would allow me to control this parameter (read-write) at runtime and, of course, a sample would be highly desirable.

    - Data problem I have an application created with VFP6 and is now upgraded to VFP7 that uses data which was originally created in Access then imported into VF6. The data is then manipulated (in VFP6) then sent to me to test with the application. The application was nearly bug free. We had been testing it for a little over a month. Once I entered the new data all sorts of bugs arose. It was as if we never debugged it. Certain code stopped working and needs to be re-written, etc. Some were valid bugs that just never displayed regardless of the machine it was put on, but with the new data it finally displays. Most of the issues were data saving issues. I'm only given a few days for turn-around for data testing. How can I prevent this massive breakage? Will VFP9 help? I read that strange things may happen if using one version of VFP to create the tables and another to use the data. That seems to be true, but I do know this was happening when we were both using VFP6. It just didn't seem quite as massive.

    - Combobox in a grid problem Hi all, I use VFP 9, in VFP 8 this problem didn't exist. In earlier postings we determined that this behavior is a bug, but I want to see if any one found a fix or a way to work around the problem. Here is the problem If you put a grid on a form (or on a page of a pageframe), and insert a combobox control in one of the columns and change the CurrentControl property to point to the ComboBox, the following will happen: 1- if the Combobox control style is set to 0 (dropdowncombo), the Combobox will only show the first 8 characters of the field 2- if the Combobox control style is set to 2 (dropdownlist), it will show the entire field. However, in both instances, the control doesn't refresh when you click on it and select an item. nothing appears in the combobox till after you move to a different column or a different record. My suggestion is to try it keeping this in mind: the combobox point to a field in a related table.

    - SourceSafe issues continued Right, let's continue this topic because I'm still not clear on a few issues. Our "build master" updated the master project (PJM) in VSS. We have a dozen developers that need to update their project. How do they do this? "Joining the project" is what we do because it is the only way we know how. It is very slow and causes the user doing so to check out the PJM, preventing anyone else from doing this. User A "joins" project. VSS automatically checks out the PJM to this person. This is just not right. User A does not need the PJM, and VSS should not check it out to them. User B, C, D....J all want to do the same, but no one else can because you can't "join" the project if the PJM is checked out to someone else. When this happens, it takes all morning for everyone to get the most current project because they have to do it one at a time. We can't "update project", because overwrites the PJM with old project settings. Update Project goes from local VFP to VSS, and we want to go from VSS to VFP. Getting latest does not update the PJT/PJX, and without an updated PJT/PJX you cannot truely get latest from within VFP. Getting latest simply gets latest version of files project is aware of. We've been going back and forth, back and forth, and the tech leads want to get rid of the PJM and just store the PJX/PJT in sourcesafe because (from their perspective) the VSS/VFP interface is such a kluge. I'm not sure I disagree, but then I'm not a VSS expert. Tag: Another question that doesn't really belong here but since you are my people.... Tag: 210630

I only need prog1 to message prog2 on the same computer and not anything through the network. I'm not sure if this will help, but prog1 will first send an API call to prog2 and send it to the foreground so that the record will be displayed and the user will not have to click over to prog2.

    - Threads missing from Outlook Express Folder I run into this weird problem every now and then. The threads go missing from my Outlook Express folder while they still exist when I log on to the newsgroup through Internet Explorer. For instance, today, I can't see any of the threads started by me after 10/6/2004. Has anyone else encountered this before and is so, what is the fix ? I am using OE 6.0 on a Windoes ME machine.

    - FPW2.6a resize main screen with menu In FPW2.6a, if I create a custom menu with the menu designer I don't seem to be able to resize the main screen once the .mpr is called from the application. If I just run the menu from the IDE with DO menu.mpr then I can, does anyone know what's going on (I'm guessing the foundation read is where it goes wrong) and whether or not I can work around this? The only idea I've had so far is to replace the menu with a push button menu. -- TIA Andrew Howell Tag: Another question that doesn't really belong here but since you are my people.... Tag: 210551

    - Menus - problem disabling menu components - Help please. I have been following this group since it started way back and have many of you to thank over the years. Not needed to post for 4 years but now need some help please. I use the menu designer for SDI menus and this has worked well for me. I create my own top level form and suppress the VFP window for the applications which I develop. Now having trouble getting:- SET SKIP OF ... to function as wished. SET SKIP OF BAR works fine and disables the bars required, however, from within the menu I cannot get PAD or MENU to be disabled. I suspect that I am not referencing correctly and would value guidance. Using the SYS(2015) created Menu Name as reference, CNTPAD(cgetmenuname) returns the correct number of pads but SET SKIP OF PAD MenuTitleName OF cgetMenuName .T. does not disable the pad, nor can I get SET SKIP OF MENU ... to function. I suspect that I am doing something stupid and am not seeing wood for trees. Can any of you cast some light upon this problem? TIA. -- James. (Started with dBase II, now VFP8 under WinXP.)

Hello and thanks in advance for the help.

In WinXP (or most other Win OS's) you can go to START->SETTINGS->PRINTERS

right click on the printer and choose "SET AS DEFAULT"

Is there a way to do this in code from VFP?

Thanks again,

Jeff

DECLARE Integer SetDefaultPrinter IN WINSPOOL.DRV String
