    - Index corruption Hello Group, I wonder if there is a way to detect index corruption at run time. I want to detect corruption when my app is lunched so I can fix it and avoid subsequent troubles and error messages presented to the user. I appreciate any help in the subject.

    - GETFILE() position I use getfile() in a small app. When running directly in VFP8, it works fine. I compile the EXE and the open dialog box from getfile() is shown off screen. I have to right-click the task icon and select move to get it to show. I have SCEEN=OFF in my config.fpw. Does that matter? Tag: MSDN download of Visual Foxpro 6.0 Tag: 178542

    - RUN Function misbehavior in VFP8 DIR Function behaves differently in VFoxPro 8: instead of simply returning a list of the files in a directory (each on a line) it returns the names of the files disposed in a two-column format, except for those files with long names, which occupy a whole line. Since each line may contain the name of more than one file, the function became useless as a way to verify contents of a directory. I have not found a way to make DIR behave as it used to behave (a single file name on each line), is there a way? Tag: MSDN download of Visual Foxpro 6.0 Tag: 178492

    - indexseek() and buffering does buffering mode (buffering mode 5, optimistic table buffering) affect indexseek()? I am adding many records to a table and then at end do a tableupdate() to update all the added records. During the process I am using indexseek to make sure I am not adding duplicate records?

    - memory leak in vfp6.0? Chect the following source code - is this a memory leak? ***************************************************************** close tables all For i = 1 to 10 Begin transaction use items sele items use End trans Messagebox(sys(1011) + ' ' + sys(1016)) Next i *************************** items is a table belonging to a database - you can use any table the values of sys(1011) and sys(1016) (number of memory handles in use and amount of memory being used by objects) both increase throughout the loop. The same behavior is observed if End Transactions is replaced with a Rollback. Note that the rate of increase is proportional to the number of index tags the table has in its corresponding cdx file. The number of fields and the number of records of the table are irrelevant. Issuing comands like close all, clear all, clear memory, etc does NOT reduce the values returned by the two system functions mentioned above. If the begin / end transactions are removed from the source this behavior dissappears. I am using VFP6 / SP5.

    - Creating web-based apps with VFP8 vs Starting with .NET solution Hi all, I talked to a prospect yesterday. He has a plastic bag manufacturer and he wanted to create apps to maintain the data in his manufacturing company. He said that there were already three software companies that gave a proposal to him. I will be the forth. All three companies are offering a web-based applications, thus he insist that mine should be web-based also. Problem is, although I've been using VFP for almost four years by now, I have never touched a web-based application. For more information: two companies (out of three) offered a Linux based solution (I think they'll use php), and the other offered a .net based solution (vb.net for sure!). Question: 1. Anybody got any idea what my selling point should be when I meet him on next the Tuesday? 2. How steep is the learning curve to create a web-based applications with VFP? I'm willing to invest in 3rd party product like WWC if I have to. Any other alternatives? 3. I was planning to buy VS.NET --- not in a near future actually, but if I can get this project, I might decide to buy it sooner. Will it do any help if I develop the apps with VFP ( I have VFP8 )? 4. Considering that I am used to code in VFP, I assumed that it would be much easier for me to create the apps in VFP rather than starting from scratch with VS.NET. What makes me doubt is I read several pages of VB.NET book in our local bookstore this afternoon, and it looks like that VB.NET is designed to create a web-based application from the beginning. The book started with creating a hello world web-based apps. Anybody here ever learn VB.NET with VFP background? Do you have any suggestion?

    - VFP6&7&8: possible bug with TEXTMERGE Hello, All! I tried posting this behavior to the VFP bug report page, but I get a Page Unavailable error. I think this is a bug. If you can confirm this, perhaps Lee or one of the MVP's who hang out here can forward it to the right people. I am using the TEXTMERGE functions to merge memvars with preformatted RTF text that is stored in a table. If the RTF contains one or more spaces followed by a CHR(13), then the spaces are removed. To demonstrate this behavior, try this code. Note, I did not include any variables to merge with the text. <vfp_code> lcTest = "Here are 10 spaces:" + SPACE(10) + CHR(13) + "This is the second line." set textmerge to test.txt set textmerge on \\<<lcTest>> set textmerge to c = filetostr("test.txt") ?SPACE(10)$c && .F. </vfp_code> I was able to fix this issue by replacing spaces prior to using the textmerge features, but I find it a bit quick and dirty: <vfp_code> lcTest = "Here are 10 spaces:" + SPACE(10) + CHR(13) + "This is the second line." lcTest = STRTRAN(lcTest, " ", "!@#$QUICKANDDIRTYFIX") set textmerge to test.txt set textmerge on \\<<lcTest>> set textmerge to * now lets hope the replacement string does not exist in the preformatted RTF.... * otherwise use a function like SYS(2015). c = STRTRAN(filetostr("test.txt"), "!@#$QUICKANDDIRTYFIX", " ") ?SPACE(10)$c && .T. </vfp_code> So what do you think: is this behavior by design? -- Eric den Doop www.foxite.com - The Home Of The Visual FoxPro Experts - Powered By VFP8 Tag: MSDN download of Visual Foxpro 6.0 Tag: 178332

    - Compiling a Class Library Hi everyone, I am trying to create a compiled version of a class library and the only way to do it was by opening the class library as a table and then replacing the "METHODS" field for all records with a blank (""). The class library was created in VFP7 and it is not a part of an executable file. Has anyone else been able to create a compiled version of a class library using another, better approach? Thanks for the help! Mehmed M. Tag: MSDN download of Visual Foxpro 6.0 Tag: 178290

    - MessageBox with checkbox - API? Hi, I'm looking for a messagebox replacement for VFP7 that will allow me to display a checkbox along with the other standard messagebox capabilities. I found this one: http://www.gipsysoft.com/messagebox/ But it requires passing a pointer to a memory location as part of a structure that is passed to the DLL. I've downloaded the heap class from UT, but would rather not delve into that if there's a better alternative out there. Note: I initially rolled my own VFP class to handle this, but found that since it's a VFP form also, it's causing undesired events to fire (calling form's deactivate, if called from grid, it's when fires when dialog dismissed, etc.) So, I don't believe a VFP form will give me what I need. I also rolled my own to invoke a VFP form via COM, but it invokes very slowly and seems to block repainting of the underlying form when moved. I really appreciate all your help.

    - MSComm32 and Terminal Server I have a VFP barcode app which works fine sending serial data over a normal LAN via MSComm. I'm trying to do the same thing over terminal services (XP client/2003 TS server) with serial port redirection. It's weird because the InBufferCount property gives the correct number of bytes read, but the Input property has nothing in it - in fact it's listed in the locals in the debugger, but doesn't even have a type, let alone any data. I get an 'undefined' error for the property when the OnComm event fires. I've tried just scanning into hyperterminal, and that works fine. I'm working around this using a keyboard wedge instead of serial input, but it's not ideal because I want to send a signal back to the scanner to indicate that the data has been fully processed. Any ideas? Thanks. --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.504 / Virus Database: 302 - Release Date: 24/07/2003 Tag: MSDN download of Visual Foxpro 6.0 Tag: 178262

    - XP Embedded Has anyone messed around with XP Embedded? I have POS software written in VFP, and it'd be cool to be able to use an embedded OS - and although MS's site says that Visual Studio apps can run on XP embedded - it neither mentioned nor excluded VFP, so I was wondering if anyone has had success making a VFP app run on XP embedded? I know that VFP can't run on CE embedded (AFAIK), but XP embedded is supposed to be almost as capable as the full blown XP pro.. Tag: MSDN download of Visual Foxpro 6.0 Tag: 178255

    - RecordSource property of grid I have a problem with the recordsource property of a grid. I'm using a SQL statement in the Load method of a form. I have a grid on the form with the recordsource property set to the alias that's created with the SQL statement. The problem is when I add a new record to the table that the cursor is created from. After I add the record, I rerun the SQL statement to update the cursor but then the grid shows all white. It doesn't show any of my column or row lines or any of the records. After running the SQL statement, I've browsed the cursor and all the records are in there, including the record I just added. Why doesn't it update my grid? Thanks for your help.

In the test case the pointer is pointing at the required record (record 2) such that the key fields (regno + event_no - both character) give ? regno + event_no = lcSrchVal returns .T. then ? seek(lcSrchVal) returns .T. but pointer has moved to record 1 and ? regno + event_no = lcSrchVal now returns .F.

    - SQL and Record Locking This is another query concerning converting my app to multi-user. I am using VFP 6 build 8492 (SP 3?). How do you ensure update integrity in *hybrid* xBASE/SQL code? In xBASE, I know more or how to handle the locking, but I do not know how to do it in SQL. Is it just begin/end transaction? How do xBASE and SQL commands interact? Pointers to the docs or even better to Hacker's 3 or Hacker's 6 would be quite appreciated. I think that I would prefer to avoid using a .dbc if I can. Is this viable? If not, how does one send a complete set of data to another (as when I have to debug a situation)? Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko Computerese Irregular Verb Conjugation: I have preferences.
