 - Fully Editable Combo Box with Array RowSourceType? I know hundreds of people have asked similar questions about combo boxes. There are so many questions and answers that a search of the Google archives would take days to find anything. So I'm asking here, even though somebody may have answered this already: I need to use a drop-down combobox in VFP 7 (8 is not an option) in the following manner: RowSourceType = array Style = Drop-down combo Users need to be able to add new items to the combo list and have them added to the array. Users need to be able to delete items from the list and have them deleted from the array (and really deleted from the list, so that there are no blank lines in the drop-down). Users need to be able to edit existing items in the list without adding a new item to the list. (A messagebox that asks whether they want to add a new item or edit the existing one when they change the DisplayValue is fine.) This all needs to be done in the display area of the combo box--no textbox/button set for adding, editing, or deleting. One major reason for this is to divorce the user interface from the data for an n-tier design. So substituting SQL SELECT statements or field lists for the array row source is not an option. Binding the combobox control source to a table field is also not an option. Another major issue is screen real estate. That's why I want to use a combobox instead of a listbox with separate editing controls. Grids are out for space consideration reasons and because they won't accept an array RowSourceType. Apparently AddItem, RemoveItem, and a whole bunch of combobox itemID and Index properties simply don't work when the row source type is an array. My main problem, therefore, is that I cannot get a reliable numerical index value for the combo box item the user is changing/adding/deleting that corresponds to the proper row number in the array row source. Does anybody have any suggestions? Is what I want to do even possible? Thanks very much in advance. Ken Dibble Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 184017

 - Inputmask and Format properties I'm re-posting this because I left-out something the first time. I have a grid with a column with 'controlsource' that is numeric. I want to do both: myGrid.column1.inputmask='999,999' myGrid.column1.format='Z' In other words, I want to format the data and blank the values when they are zero. But these do not seem to work together! How can I get both to work together? THX Mike Farnesi San Diego Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 184016

 - [OT]: Anybody here knows where Cathi, Kevin, and all now-.NET-MVPs hang out? Hello everybody, Currently, I am using my spare time to learn .NET (about two to four hours a week... guess that it'll be fifty years before I 'gotdotnet'). I know that some VFP MVPs are now also .NET MVPs. Anybody here knows where Cathi, Kevin, and everybody else hang out? Regards, Willianto P.S: Noooooooooooooo, I'm not leaving VFP! Still to precious. Not to mention my kids need food everyday <lol> Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 184006

 - Format property My grid has a column with 'controlsource' that is numeric. I noticed that the 'format' property (for a spinner control) can be: 'Z' - Displays the value as blank if it is 0, except when the control has the focus. I want to do this for my numeric column in my grid. Can I do this? THX Mike Farnesi San Diego Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 184000

 - FoxPro 8.0 - .EXE Not Running Correctly - family.zip [0/2] Hello VFP 8.0 Users - I've been struggling to fix the following within a deployed FoxPro 8.0 Executable .... http://www.oceanviewenterprises.com/fp/navigator.gif Notice how the "arrow" graphics are missing on the four buttons on the left. This application is very simple and only contains the one table and form. Everything works fine in development mode, so that tells me the final .EXE is not referencing all needed resources. I've attached the project to this email message, and I'm hoping someone can quickly tell why the error exists when the application is compiled into an EXE. This is the VFP class library that contains the navigation buttons: c:\program files\microsoft visual foxpro 8\wizards\wizbtns.vcx Thankyou, - Kevin Willis klwillis.dsl@verizon.net ICQ:32805500 Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183991

 - WINMM.DLL wave Files in W2K and WXP I am using the mciSendString etc. functions in WinMM.DLL in a VFP 6.0 app to play wave files. It works fine on a W98 machines, however when I run the program on w2K or wXP machines the wave file hiccup, stopping briefly randomly before continuing. Anybody have this problem? Any possible solution? Thanks in advance PeterV Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183987

 - Save webpages as Word documents Hi, Can anyone tell me whether I can use VFP6 OLE Automation to save multiple webpages (via browser/URLs) as Word documents? If yes, how do I do that? TIA. Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183983

 - Need to get data from WP5.1 Dos Documents I have used VFP to open WP5.1 documents with filetostr() to extract a number from many thousand documents. The number was always preceeded by a unique identifier in the body of the document. Now I've been asked to extract a name which is not preceeded by a unique identifier. The name appears at the top of the document when viewed in WP but not when converted to a string. If I save the file as text I can simply do an alltrim of the left 50 characters after I convert it to a string to get the name. But the process of automating the conversion to text of these documents on an ongoing basis escapes me. I'm not a WP or Word expert. My searches for some king of command line tool to do this has been fruitless. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Dan Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183979

 - VFP8 systray class - buggy? Does anyone use the VFP8 systray class in their apps? I've been working with it for a few days now, and I'm running into all kinds of problems with it. I got compile errors because one of the constants was declared twice, and I get random errors in the code - the most recent is invalid array dimensions in addicontosystray. I also got errors in removeiconfromsystray. I'm getting the impression that this class is buggy as hell, and just hasn't been tested that thoroughly. Anyone else use it, with or without problems?

 - READ TIMEOUT I want in my FPW2.6a application to timeout automatically the read if there is no user input. It works fine if there are only SAYs, GETs and READ TIMEOUT. But when I combine these SAYs and GETs on the main foxpro window with a BROWSE and issue READ TIMEOUT xx DEACTIVATE .T. VALID .F. WITH "title of browse window" the timeout does not work. Time goes by and nothing happens. What is wrong? Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183951

 - VFP & Managed Code In Bill Gates' address to the recent PDC, he said key ideas for the future included "... using managed code for any new things you do and yet we allow managed code to work with existing code. ". This was during a discussion on Longhorn. Where does VFP fit in to this future. I personally am absolutely committed to VFP, and I hope to stay that way. But does Bill Gates plans for the future mean thast VFP will be brought into stable of the managed code languages in some future release? Responses from any MS people reading this would be most welcome. Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183948

 - round up function I am looking for a round up function in VFP6, but I can't found one. The ROUND() function cannot perform "round up" that I am looking for. For example, round(5311, -2) will give 5300, I expect the round up function should return 5400. Thanks for any help. Matthew Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183947

 - Interesting way to store a form reference... It's interesting the things you find out even after years of working with VFP. I discovered this the other day... From one form (A), I needed to start another form (B) and store an object reference to form (B) on form (A). Normally this is easy if form (B) is modal. It requires a little more work if (B) is not modal. But I was very surprised that the following code worked: In method on form (A): DO FORM my_b_form ThisForm.MyFormReference = my_b_form Maybe this is common knowledge to others, but I hadn't known you could get a form reference to a running form just by referencing the SCX name - no quotes, just the name hanging out there in the breeze. Very handy, but odd. -- TRW _______________________________________ My e-mail: t r w 7 @ i x . n e t c o m . c o m _______________________________________ Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183904

 - Foxpro 8 programs opened twice...??? Hello, We have dared migrating from Foxpro 2.6 to Foxpro 8.0. (!) At this moment we have several errors, e.g. : "index does not match the table". We are pretty sure that there is no problem with the=20 indices and tables. We saw that the our Foxpro 8.0 application was opened=20 twice per user on the server (win2000), on the client pc=20 the task list showed only 1 instance. When we made a simple fox 8.0 (1 open table and a=20 form/button) and also this one was opened twice. We are using the original tables (dbf/cdx), formerly used=20 with 2.6, with Foxpro 8.0. Can anyone explain what could be happening here and why=20 the application is opened twice on the server ?? Thanks in advance. Ernst B=FCrer Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183888

 - multiUser problem I have a counter in a table in my database. When a user clicks on this button it uses a select statement and grabs this number and then increments it in the table. This works fine on single user. I get a problem in multi-user though, lets say the number is 25. One user clicks on a button it grabs 25 and increments to 26. Another user does this same and where it should grab 26 it instead grabs 25 again. The wierd part is that this only happens once, the first time they click the button after the form is opened. If I try it any time after that it would work fine. I have buffermode set to none. And the table I am writing to is not in my datasession. Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183793

 - Strange Printing Behavior I have had a few customers report that when attempting to print a specific report the first 1/3 of the page prints then the remainder of the page is blank. The VFP report layout contains a lot of detail and is contained within an .APP file that I distribute. Not all my customers are reporting this issue and I can not reproduce this on any of the 5 computers here in my office. Of the customers that report this printing issue, they tell me that other equally complex reports print just fine.. I tend to not suspect their hardware or printer drivers as other reports seem to work. I suspected that maybe MY project file was corrupted so I rebuilt the .APP using a new project file; that made no difference. If the report (FRX) itself was bad seems the problem would exist for everyone.. Does anyone have any clue as to what may be going on here? Alec Tag: Upgrading VFP6 to VFP8 Tag: 183789

 - FPW2.6 reserved word like problem Hello, I use FPW2.6 and I have written a function to extract the given word number from a string (something like getwordnum in later versions of foxpro.) I have spent about 2 hours trying to make this work in a project until finding that a procedure called "wordnum" seems to have some special significance. In short I could not get the file included in the project, even with explicit statements such as "EXTERNAL PROCEDURE wordnum". I verified the list of reserved words in the help file and it is not listed there and then tried renaming my procedure. Immediately it worked correctly, can someone clarify this bizarre behaviour?

IMHO VFP8 has been "stable enough" since day 1.
