    - FPW 2.6 save screen Memory Error Ok, here's a puzzling problem. Client comes to me with an ancient FoxPro Dos 2.6 application. It has some issues we fix, then I try and run it on FPW 2.6.(so it looks prettier) When the program issues a "save screen" command, it gives a "out of memory" error. If I run the same program under Visual FoxPro, no problem. What's happening? Tag: Newbie question - spinner Tag: 186269

    - TextBox & EditBox Question Hi all, Is there a way to do this? When either a TextBox or EditBox have focus it highlights the entire entry? i.e. when I tab through a form with many fields, it will highlight the contents of the Text & Edit Box. Right now when I tab to a field, the cursor is at the beginning of the box. Thanks, Mark Tag: Newbie question - spinner Tag: 186253

    - Set(Color) doesn't work in VFP7 glen_gillman@countrywide.com In the command line you type as shown below: SET COLOR TO W/B messagebox(set("color")) I expected it to return "w/b" and it returned "n/w*" I clearly set the color to white/blue yet when issuing the set("color") command it returns n/w* (WHITE). My guess is that the default color scheme is n/w* so it is picking it up from there. But this is also randomly affecting an application of ours that has a mix of forms and class libraries but a few screens using @ say, get, etc. Any help in understanding this will be greatly appreciated.

    - XML-Like Data structures I am considering storing some pertinent session/file information in an XML style format. Has anyone used MS XML for storing information within an App? Has anyone written a standalone parser that will handle "Tagging" as XML/HTML does? I have never used MS XML so I would have a learning curve that I fear would be longer than just writing my own parser with fgets/fputs/etc. I am using this style of data storage to allow interoperability between a couple of applications. (i.e. Dynamic Fore/Back colors established in one program will be retained in another - For a very simple example) Any thoughts are appreciated.

    - Calculator Needed. ActiveX control Available? I put calculator buttonss on my form for the user to press to bring up a calculator and then have it return the value back to the flow of the program. Now I need a calculator to use. Is there a good activex control available or maybe a class library with such controls? I played around with the ACTIVATE WINDOW calculator but it would not lock itself to my pre-made calculator form and I really do not want to use a form just to run a calculator. Running the calculator itself runs independantly of the calling form and I do not want that because I am linking the calculator to specific numeric fields. I am also concerned with running something that is windows based ? thus if they do not have the calculator installed then the calculator does not run. I prefer a pre-build library or activex and would not even mind building a library myself even though that would be time consuming. Any ideas or code would be appreciated.

    - cannot update cursor error... Intermittently, I get an error "cannot update cursor" when trying to write to a table. This table is opened at system startup, and gets read and written to all day. It never gets closed, and it most certainly doesn't get opened read only. But from time to time, this code: select <mytable> replace.... Generates error 111, cannot update cursor. I suspect something external, though I really have no clue what. The code is clean and simple, and I can't find a reason for this. Tag: Newbie question - spinner Tag: 186227

    - VFP8 Form name changes upon compliation I have created a formset called FormSet1 which contains just one form at the moment with a Pageframe on it. I have named the form 'frmMain'. However I cannot reference any objects on the form from my toolbar because it says 'unknown reference frmMain'. The following message was displayed when I had an error on one of the pages - "...... in Program Formset1._13V1BUQUS.Pageframe1.pgClient" which shows that the name of my form has been changed to a generated one upon compilation as this differs each time I recompile. How do I make it use my name, frmMain? Thanks Kate Tag: Newbie question - spinner Tag: 186218

    - I want no value selected in the combo box. I fill a combo box with '1, 2, 3, 4, 5' using additem and tie it to a data source. When the form first opens there is no value in the combo box if the data source has no data. I choose a 2 from the combo box. I change my mind. I do not know the value I want in the combo box. But, how do I get the combo box back into its no value stage? The workaround I use is to create a two dimensional array (' ',1), ('1',2), ('2',3), ('3',4), ('4',5), ('5',6) and tie the data source to the second column. There are better ways to do this, I guess. Please enlighten me. Sincerely, Jan Nordgreen Tag: Newbie question - spinner Tag: 186211

    - File is in use by another Since converting many of our applications to VFP8.0 from VFP6.0, we are getting persistent "File is in use by another" errors when USEing a file, when the file is definitely not in use, excl is off etc etc. Usually trying again immediately allows it to open OK!!!!! This has happened across several unrelated applications on various platforms. We have both Novell and Win2K servers, with both XP and NT4 clients. Unfortunately we do not have sufficient XP clients to determine whether an XP client resolves this issue - but I doubt it. We also have vfp8 applications where the tables are still in Foxpro 2.6 format, some with tables in VFP6.0 format and some with tables in VFP8.0 format. Happens across all when app is VFP8.0. Revert back to 6.0 with everything else the same and the problem goes away. I believe this to be a bug in VFP8.0. I have seen similar complaints from others on various forums, but no one has come up with an answer as yet. Any help appreciated. Maybe next service pack this will be fixed.... And while I'm moaning - anyone know of any fix yet for the dropped table handles issues with VFP apps running on terminal server when data is not on the Terminal server drive?

    - Report with images with different height in detail band. I am using vfp 8. I just managed to print images in the detail band using only stored path names. However, the images have different heights and neither clip nor scale are satisfactory solutions. Clip will not guarantee that the entire image will show, and if the image is low a lot of space will appear before the next record. Scale will blow up small images and look ugly. Any ideas what to do? Sincerely, Jan Nordgreen PS: The report's view was called vviewtest and had a field vviewtest.imagepath with the complete path of a picture. Most of the records had vviewtest.imagepath empty. To get the images to print in the detail band, I added a picture control with 'Picture from file' set to 'vviewtest.imagepath' and 'object position' to 'float'. In 'Print when' I checked 'remove line if blank' (if not the frame would always take up space, even when empty) and for 'Print only when expression is true' I put 'not empty(vviewtest.imagepath)' (if not, the report wouldn't even be created).

    - Keyboard Macros in VP6/8 Many thanks for the help given to me regarding the Command Window and the Expression builder. That problem appears to be laid to rest, I'm pleased to say. Can anybody help me now on the apparent idiosyncratic behaviour of my keyboard macros (I have some 200+)in Memo fields in VFP8 which didn't happen when the same ones were used in VFP6? The trouble appears to be limited to those macros containing Enter and Home or Shift+Home used in Memos in the middle of text to break a line and start a new one and when used to start a new line, linked by an inserted colon, at the end of a body of text. What happens is that the new line is not forced open but the text in the macro is placed in the existing line at the 'correct' place. Searson Tag: Newbie question - spinner Tag: 186164

    - Grid on selection? Dear All, My program need one text box and one combo box on the same column in a Grid. My program is simple like that: If column1 =A, column 2 is a text box else column2 is a column box. I have put the "InteractiveChange" event on column1( in fact, it is a combo too.) I chg. the "CurrentContre" for column2 and make some necessary eg. something "Enabled", "Visible"... That works fine for input data. But when I load the Grid (start the program again), column2 can't show properly. I set back "Sparse" to True, the (Grid) data seems to be correct. My question is that:- 1. Can I show column2 correctly (Combo) when I start the program at the beginning ? ( the condation is depend on column1) (If I first make the selection on column1, the column2 show correctly. But if I first "Click" on column2, the combo can't show, also no selection.) (I try to put the "BeforeRowColChange" event on the grid, but failed) 2. My grid allow user to add and modify data, in such case, How can I do that ? Thanks in advance, SY Tag: Newbie question - spinner Tag: 186153

    - Bug? The arrow keys are not working properly in a grid. If rows in a grid are more than the height of a grid, that means you need to use up or down keys or mouse to move the grid.

    - mutex, criticalsection, threading issues??? Hi, I have an app which has as one of its components an activex control which is constantly processing data from the serial port. I need the event handler for this code to be able to interrupt anything else I'm doing so that I don't lose any data. I also have a timer which I need to run once a second and do some processing of the data. I also of course have a form with which the user can interact. Because of the serial port handler, I have the application autoyield property set to .f. My problem arises from the unfortunate need for all three of these "threads" to access some of the same data structures and objects. I'm wondering if I can use some of the Windows control structures such as critical sections mutexes or semaphores to handle this? In trying to read about them, it seems important that the various items which are competing for the resource be either in different threads or different processes (or the WaitForSingleObject() function won't wait). Can someone tell me if these components are running in different threads, and then could someone recommend which of these Windows features might be best suited to allowing short exclusive use of resources? thanks for any help, Chip Tag: Newbie question - spinner Tag: 186131

    - ODBC vs. OLEDB I have posted a comment before stating a problem I was having with VB and updatebatch method and getting the error "Row Cannot Be Located for Updating...." I have found that if I use an Update SQL statement instead though it works fine (to do this though would be a hell of alot of extra programming). It also used to work before and I think it was the change from VFP 6 to VFP 7 that brought the error. Anyway, what I'm wondering is, the VB code uses a DSN ODBC connection to VFP. I'm wondering if I use the OLEDB connection, would this make any difference? I am also wondering what the difference between ODBC and OLEDB is. Also I'm wondering if maybe moving to VFP 8 would fix this problem. Tag: Newbie question - spinner Tag: 186118

    - old annoying bug or a feature? Hi, In order to validate user's imput, I place in Valid Event of Textbox some code, wich calls a form for data lookup or entering new data in related tables. Depending on lookup results, the focus stays in the Texbox or jumps to other controls with a help of RETURN n command. This seems to be very clear and convenient, but... If in some other form, launched from Valid Event, there is a SetFocus Method - the error comes: SetFocus method can not be called within Valid Event. But SetFocus is called in other form! And what more, in a way can be several more form calls that has nothind to do with the first one, but the error comes nevertheless :( I wonder, if MS will ever fix this annoyance or it is treated like a feature?

    - VFP8 Command window - Expression builder I have recently upgraded from VFP6 to VFP8 (although at the moment I feel as if I have stepped backwards)and am not a programmer or developer in any way. XP/SP1 is the OS. Keyboard macros are much used in my hobby. Could anyone spare the time and trouble to tell me how to get rid of the expression builder that pops up as soon as the macro issues the Locate or Seek command etc. This slows up things tremendously, especially where the Locate command is used in Memo fields, by comparison with VFP6.

That is possible. Include the command NODEFAULT in the Spinner.KeyPress()
event.
