    - Is Nothing $ Nothing? Check the following: STORE "" TO nada STORE "" TO zilch ? nada $ zilch && Returns .F. STORE SPACE(10) TO nada STORE "" TO zilch ? LEN(nada) && Returns 10 ? zilch $ nada && Returns .F. Is this appropriate behavior? Okay, so it sort of makes sense that if something doesn't contain anything, then it can't even contain nothing. But it sure kabolixes things up when you want to do a "contains" comparision where an empty string or an empty character field are just as valid values for comparison as any other. My particular case is a system where "jobs" are set up by one department and "invoices" are assembled from those jobs by another department. An invoice can contain many jobs, done over a period of time. The idea is to automatically pull all jobs being billed to the same organization into one invoice. Since the same organization can be represented by different strings (ie., "Lourdes Hospital", "Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital", "Our Lady of Lourdes", or just "Lourdes"), I need to start with some job (preferably the shortest name), and look for all other jobs that contain the organization name from the current job. IE, temporgan = "Lourdes" SELECT..... ; WHERE UPPER(ALLTRIM(temporgan)) $ UPPER(ALLTRIM(organ))... My workaround is to create two separate WHERE clauses--one to use if "temporgan" turns up empty and one if it doesn't. Not difficult, but this did bite me when, after the system had been in use for several months, it finally stumbled on a billing contact with no organization name. It seems to me that $ would be even more useful if it would return .T. when it compares two variables that, in the end, both evaluate to EMPTY(). Thanks for your thoughts.

    - Using a Dll With an Event in a VFP Form. I have a client that is adding a barcode card reader to a turn style access gate. The reader vendor provided a dll with examples for VB. I have used 3rd party dll's before but never to respond to an event initiated by the dll. I can connect to the reader and send data. When I use there connection string I connect and can send data but return .Null. as the return value instead of the 0 or 1 nRetval = 0 nGateNumber = 1 nIp = 10.10.1.2 nMyRetval = oreader.SendConnection(nGateNumber, nIp, nRetVal) It requires the 3rd parameter but always returns .Null. (I have played with various values of nRetVal although this is actually the retval. and the value of nRetVal is always the value that I set it to after I call the method.) My other issue is I am not sure how to respond to the DataFromGate event generated when a user scans there card. I need to take the card number and look it up to see if they are paid up and open or close the gate. This will be called from form open on the front desk used to see details if the account is past due or to manually open the gate. But for 98% of the people the form will function without any user input other than the scan of the card triggering the DataFromGate Event which sends the form the card number. I believe i need to create a wrapper for the DataFromGate method but and not sure how to do that or add it to my existing form. Thanks for your help. Larry Oliver All the documentation I have is included below. dll Reference Methods CloseConnection () Description: Closes the connection with the card reader or IPC. SendData (short validEntry, short sound, short light, variant textLine1,variant textLine2, variant textLine3, short time) Description: Controls the connected gate. Can be used to open the gate, keep it closed and display messages. Parameters: validEntry - The action to be taken by the gate. 0 Keep the gate closed, 1 open the gate. sound - The type of sound to be made by the gate. 0 sound off, 1 valid, 2 not valid, 3 error light - type of flashing for the light. 0 light off, 1 solid on, 2-13 various flashing speeds. textLine1 - First line of text to be displayed on card reader. textLine2 - Second line of text to be displayed on card reader. textLine3 - Third line of text to be displayed on card reader if available. time - Length of time in seconds for the gate to flash or display a message before being reset. SetConnection (long gateNumber, variant IPAddress, long returnValue) Description: Connects to an IPC or individual card reader. Must be called first in order to receive gate events and send data. Parameters: gateNumber - The number of the card reader, either 1 or 2, used for compatibility with systems using an IPC. IPAddress - A string containing the IP address of the individual card reader or IPC. returnValue - The result of the connection attempt. 1 successful, 0 failed. Events DataFromGate (String cardNumber) Description: Called when the gate has received a card number scanned by a member. Parameters: cardNumber - The number on the card scanned by the card reader.

    - VFP Remote Access Issues Hello - I have a few questions about remote access with VFP. First - does anyone have any idea as to the future speeds of the internet? We have of course basic dial up, DSL, T1, etc. In general most have either dial up or DSL or cable with top speeds of 500kbs or so. This is too slow if one wants to map a drive through the intenet. What is wrong with VFP? What in the world is it sending to the workstations on a LAN? Seems like a lot of junk data or something. Certainly a lot more than raw data is being passed. I'm wondering if instead of a file server application I wrote a front end/back end application using VFP as both the front end and back end and using a socket control with TCP/IP if it would be a lot faster over a dial up. Or, if that even makes any sense given that some of the hotels already have a high speed connection. Or perhaps another soluition such as VFP on the web? I'm not sure but does anyone have ideas for remote access improvements with VFP? Or will technology bail us out with faster connections? If so - how long before we see some real speed improvements at a reasonable cost? My understanding is right now they are just way too expensive. Seems like even a T1 is not fast enough when mapping a drive using VFP and with a lot of users something like Terminal or Citrix server (which only does screen transfers) is too expensive. Just exploring ideas, Thanks. Mike Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180819

    - CURSORGETPROP / tablerevert Hello, Im attaching a part of my code that seems to function abnormally. I initiated cursorsetprop on my POSDetail table (optimistic table buffering). I have to add the first record BUT before i issue a TABLEREVERT or TABLEUPDATE, I have get some records from another table. Those records need to get checked if there's an actual onstock. If one of those records did not have enough stock, it will actually TABLEREVERT all the records added, so it will return to original form as if nothing was added. For some reason, it didnt wanna revert all the records. Records that were already added stayed in the table as if i had initiated a tableupdate which i did not. If i issue a CURSORGETPROP(), will that function hold true for as long as i didnt issue a tablerevert or tableupdate? or if i move from one table to another and do some select statements in between the CURSORGETPROP and TABLEUPDATE/TABLEREVERT, will it lose its state? please help me out. thanks. select posdetail =CURSORSETPROP("Buffering",5,"posdetail") APPEND BLANK replace detailno with lnNewId replace transactno with lcTransactno replace productid with lcProductID replace quantity with thisform.txtqty.value replace discount WITH thisform.txtdiscount.value replace itemsales with thisform.txtsales.value REPLACE itemcost WITH lcCost replace nettotal with lcNetCost replace grosstotal with lcGrossCost bChkStock = .T.

    - UNC problem I have an application that is located on a server LIVE in a directory MYAPP. All of the users will login and map the S: drive to \\LIVE\MYAPP. All of the application files and subdirectories are under this main directory. The application DOES NOT use any UNC paths to find files. The application will always look under the S: drive for files and directories. I wanted to create a test login for this application. I copied the entire application along with the data files to another share (TESTAPP) on the LIVE server. The test login will map the S: drive to \\LIVE\TESTAPP. When the test login is initializing variables, it looks for a "Variable save" (.mem) file to load the variables and values. This .mem file DOES not exist on the test environment, but does exists on the live application. So stepping through the application on the test login, the application set a variable equal to the mem file name. gf_memfile = "S:\MEMFILE\AMEMFILE.MEM". The application then tries to verify the file exists with the FILE() command. It returns .t. even though the file does not exist! The value of gf_memfile remains equal to "S:\MEMFILE\AMEMFILE.MEM". The next statement is a RESTORE FROM command that executes without an error. The gf_memfile variable gets changed to \\LIVE\MYAPP\MEMFILE\AMEMFILE.MEM!!!! Why is that? Where does it get the UNC from? I don't believe this is a Foxpro problem, but rather an OS problem, but I can't be sure. Any ideas? <snip> ..... gf_adrive = 'S:\' gf_memfile = gf_adrive+ "MEMFILE\AMEMFILE.MEM" IF FILE(gf_memfile) && does not exist, but this returns true RESTORE FROM (gf_memfile) && this statement changes the gf_memfile && to a UNC pointing to the live application!

    - Data Navigation Hi I have been a Visual Foxpro programmer for a few years and now looking for a way to convert those VFP written system into VB6. I have some degree of knowledge in ADO as I did write some Web-based database applications in ASP using ADO as a data access interface. I faced some difficulties in designing a Data Navigation Interface in VB6 coz I can't directly retrieve and bind a million of records into data-bound controls. In VFP 6, I simply used the following syntax to open a table and then directly set the RECORDSOURCE of control to the STUDENT will do, need not bother too much about the criteria in the retrieval of records. A simple Data Navigation Interface with searching features is then easily created in VFP. USE STUDENT IN 0 INDEX STUDENT SHARED In VB6, I need to think of lots of data retrieval criteria. If I used the following ADO syntax to retrieve the STUDENT data will take me 10 minutes for the whole process and might cause system hanging as well. SET rsA = cnA.Execute "SELECT * FROM STUDENT" In such scenario, the data is then broken down into smaller parts by putting a WHERE clause as below. SET rsA = cnA.Execute "SELECT * FROM STUDENT WHERE YEAR_ENROL = 2000" The Data Navigation Interface will only have the recordset of those students enrolled in the year of 2000. What if I want to search for a student by name "LESLIE WILSON" who actually enrolled in 2001? Of course, the rsA.Find syntax is not applicable in locating this student. In this case, I shall use rsA.open "SELECT * FROM PATIENT WHERE NAME = 'LESLIE WILSON'" However, by using this syntax, the Data Navigation Interface will then only have this student record. I found this is not a nice method. In VFP 6, I don't need to bother so much by using SEEK. What's the proper way of handling this issue in VB using ADO ? Thanks a lot.

    - XML to single or multiple cursor(s) I have a project where I have to link our application to QuickBooks for updating records in either application or inserting transactions in to QB. US version of QB SDK had a foundation class and XML options and I used FC, which had simplified my task but Australian version only supports XML. I need to be able to create single and/or multiple cursors depending on the XML dataset so that I can manipulate data easily in my application. I experimented with the response xml file and find out if I only have 1 level of tags XMLTOCURSOR nicely creates a cursor that corresponds to the xml structure except the variable types (eg. a datetime field was created as a character field). Eg. A response xml file from QB <?xml version="1.0" ?> <QBXML> <QBXMLMsgsRs> <TaxCodeQueryRs requestID="1" statusCode="0" statusSeverity="Info" statusMessage="Status OK"> <TaxCodeRet> <ListID>20000-1046324474</ListID> <TimeCreated>2003-02-27T16:41:14+10:00</TimeCreated> <TimeModified>2003-02-27T16:44:08+10:00</TimeModified> <EditSequence>1046324648</EditSequence> <Name>CAF</Name> <IsActive>true</IsActive> <Desc>Cap.

Now if I remove <QBXMLMsgsRs> and <TaxCodeQueryRs .....> lines and also corresponding end tag lines then use XMLTOCURSOR function it will give me a cursor with field names and properties as ListID (char 16), TimeCreated (char 25), }these two is datetime field in the original XML response file TimeModified (char 25), } EditSequence (num 10), Name (char 3), IsActive (logical), Desc (char 47), Tax1Rate (num 8), Tax2Rate (num 7), IsTax1Exempt (logical), IsTax2Exempt (logical), IsPiggybackRate (logical), IsECVatCode (logical), TaxType (num 1) I can then work with this table to get what I want. This is fine if I only deal with one request/response, but majority of response(s) have more complex structure. Is there a better way to deal with response XML files? I saw in VFP8 new features that there is XMLAdaptor class that can accept internal or external schemas and create single or multiple cursors but we have some stability issues running our application in VFP 8 and therefore not ready yet to go up to VFP8. I need to find a solution within VFP7 capabilities. Cheers Mehmet Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180736

    - Are there any drawbacks if I use a lot of connection to SQL Server (and not sharing them)? Hi all, Most of the connections I used in my apps are occupied by one SQL query (VFP's remote view). However, in a case where I need atomic transaction, I would share a connection and perform table insertion/update inside SQL's BEGIN TRANSACTION and SQLCOMMIT pair. Question: Are there any drawbacks if I use a lot of connection to SQL Server (and not sharing them)? Overriding the connection handle in VFP's remote views require coding in the form's Init event. If the drawbacks are acceptable, I'd rather bind the RVs in the DE than open it programmatically one by one. Please note that what I mean a lot is about 10 to 25 connection (remote view) in each form. TIA, Willianto Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180689

    - Creating User-Defined functions in Crystal Reports 8.5 or 9 via VFP 7 Automation Server I have Craig Bernston's book CrysDev and have downloaded several PDF's from Crystal Decisions and must be missing something. This appears to be a pretty simple process as described by both sources. However, I have built by VFP automation server, registered it, verified naming conventions and that Crystal has my DLL in use when in the designer, but my functions simply are appearing in the Crystal additional functions list. The behavior is the same for both Crystal versions 8.5 and 9 using VFP version 7. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Rory Sawtelle Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180645

    - Softwarekey, Protection Plus, FPW2.6 I need to supply an old FPW2.6 application but add software protection. I have got Protection Plus from Software Key, and am having difficulty getting it to work using the KEYFOXW.FLL. I know it's old stuff but is there anybody who can guide me through the process of providing a 30-day demo which can then be unlocked to full version? Many thanks Stephen Ibbs Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180639

    - VFP7 Multi-user View problems We are using some views in our system for combining files for using in a grid. When 2 users are inputting data on these forms, each user cannot see the other user's added records until they exit the screen and come back in. Is there a way of forcing the view to refresh from the server data? I don't really want to close it and reopen it as this may slow things down. Bernie Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180638

    - Setup Wizard for exe files. I have been using the setup wizard in VFP6 to make up the installation CD to install applications. I see there is a better one out and wonder if I need to upgrade the VFP6 or can I obtain this newer wizard to make up the setup files?? I sure do like the ease at which VFP6 lets me make them up but is there something out there that I can use that is better? Tony Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180593

    - Using a UDF in Menu's skip for Is there any way to reference the menu level, prompt, or command values in the skip for section of the menu designer? I want to create a database containing a record for each menu option, and the user ID's that have the authority to run each option. I could then place a used-defined function that queries this database to determine if the option is available. Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180567

    - Overlaying a .wmf or other graphic over a .frx report Does any know how I can overlay a graphic file over a .frx report? This is what I want to do: I have a number of 81/2 X 11 forms (for example, export documents) that I want to generate from my Foxpro program. I have done this in Delphi by overlaying a .wmf on a report file and printing them both. This method generates a very professional looking form and is very useful in placing and aligning the data fields. However, because of the way VFP reports are generated (Header/Body/Footer/)inserting a full page graphic and overlaying the data fields seems impossible. If anyone knows how I can do this or something similar I would be forever in your debt. Thanks Pat Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180558

    - Recording Table Changes I routinely receive updates to an existing table. I want to compare the old table to the new and record (in another table or view) only updated, added or delted records. I can write a program that will compare each record field by field, but can't help but think there might be an easier way. Any thoughts? Thanks Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180554

    - Odd VFP6 behavior in XP Just noticed this oddity developing in VFP6 SP5 in XP Pro. Could be a video driver issue, but it only happens in VFP6, not in VFP8... Open a form for editing. Double click a control that has a resonably long chunk of method code in it. Select that method - the scroll bar in the edit window must be displayed. Click and drag the scroll bar a bit and DON'T RELEASE THE MOUSE. Keep the mouse button down, but keep the mouse still. In my system, after about 6 seconds, all of the windows in the VFP IDE go blank and stay blank until the mouse button is released. Thankfully the same thing does not happen in a VFP app at runtime. Still weird though! -- TRW _______________________________________ My e-mail: t r w 7 @ i x . n e t c o m . c o m _______________________________________ Tag: Keep focus on same control Tag: 180553

Simon,
If the VALID() method returns 0, focus will stay in the same control.

Hello, Simon!

If you issue RETURN .F. or RETURN 0 in the valid event, then the textbox
will keep focus.

Actually, you can use SetFocus in a LostFocus method. Move your code to the
LostFocus method and include

nodefault

at the end of the code. This should keep the cursor in the stock lookup
textbox.

John.
