Multi Language support for VFP7 application
Hi all,
I have been trying to figure out from the help files how to be able to view
and enter data in Chinese into a vfp7 environment.
I have installed Traditional Chinese on my W2K machine
I put CODEPAGE=936 in my config.fpw
I've set the font to some various Chinese ones in the FoxPro editor and all
I get is a ? whenever I try to enter a Chinese character (which are all
doublebyte)
I've even set my default windows language to Chinese and that doesn't help!
How the hell do I get this to work????
I'm just trying this in a VFP7 environment to start with, before I try and
include it in any apps!
Any pointers would be great. Also can someone poke the VFP team at microsoft
in the eye for not detailing this in the help files. They go on for ages
about supporting it but not actually how to do it.
A million thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.

Hi Guys,
I had installed vfp 8.0 and must say that the graphical

I now face a problem. I have an application that allow
user to select the company and upon double clicking or

the login screen where they need to key in the password
before they can login.
Now, I'm trying to bring back to the select company
screen. However, I discover that I could not double click
on the company.
Does anyone know what happen? I'm clueless!

cursor shape in vfp 6.0
Hi! I am using vfp6.0 in windows 2000 os. Whenever I
starts vfp6.0, I finds my cursor shape to be vertically
thin. Sometimes, I even can't identify its position on
screen. I want to change cursor shape. i.e. It should be
solid shaped, and in different color like red,green
etc.Would you like to give any help regarding the above
problem. N.B.-I am talking about the cursor that appears
in edit/text boxes, not the mouse pointer shape.

I would like to add a method to a form that is in a formset, but it

Exporting to Excel
Just checking to see if there is an easy way to do this.
I want to export a table to excel and have it break up
the table by Item Number and place all matching items on
a worksheet and make a new worksheet with the next Item
Number.
I know I can export the entire table, but I am checking
to see if I can group it by Item Number on separate
worksheets.
Thanks in advance.

Roaming Profiles
Hello All,
I have a customer experiencing a problem running an application created in
VFP8. They use Roaming Profiles. A user can login to a Win2000 machine on
the network and run the APP no problem. However, once that same user logs
into the network on an XP machine they can no longer run the application on
any of the W2000 machines. Seems that XP is changing the Roaming Profile on
the server in such a way as to screw up W2000's ability to run the same APP.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue and/or know how to fix it?
Here is an email from my customer which helps explain it:
*********************************************************
Regarding the Windows 2000/XP Roaming Profiles Problem:
Removing the file NTUSER.DAT in the individuals profile directory on the
server and from their profile directory on the Windows 2000 Workstation,
VFP8 (and Crimestar) will function again. Removing this file forces the
workstation to load the Default user registry entries on login, rather than
the stored settings.
Since this works, I have to conclude that a registry setting in HKEY_USERS
is getting changed by Windows XP and causing problems for Windows 2000. I
can't find it. If you can find out what registry settings are used by VFP,
I should be able to come up with a workaround.
TIA

Append Memo from FileName or FILETOSTR()
Hi all,
I want to save a couple of .PDF files in memo fields to avoid these file
being deleted or messed by the users, using VFP8 I have two options:
FILETOSTR() or APPEND MEMO FROM FileName...
Can anybody point out which method should be best since they accomplish the
same goal and the size of the memo file are also the same using either
command.
Thanks.

VFP bug with #define and comments
I beleve I have run across a VFP bug - or at least an "issue" or "feature by
design". Do this: Create a project. Create a class library. Add it to the
project. Create two custom methods in the classlib. In one of them put this:
#define MY_CONSTANT 123
In the other method put:
#define MY_CONSTANT 123 && comment
Now compile. You will get "Constant is already created with #define" error.
Now change the first entry above so that it too has a comment. Compile. No
errors. Note - this compiles fine in VFP5, but will generate the error in
VFP6, 7 and 8.
It appears that you cannot define the same constant in more then one method
AND have an inline comment in one AND not have an inline comment in the
other. They must both have comments, or no comments. You can't mix them. Tag: Virus's Crazy Tag: 184190
What's about VFP and .NET
I don't know if somebody could answer me here, but I would
like to know what happen with VFP actually in the market?
I was a VFP programmer since the beginnig, but for a
couple of years, I have worked with JAVA in web
development and I didn't used VFP since about 4 years.
Why VFP is not a part of Visual Studio .NET? (Visual
Foxpro .NET for example)
Is VFP will continue to be supported by Microsoft? I saw
that VFP is now on version 8, what is the future for VFP?
Is Microsoft will integrated VFP into the Visual
Studio .NET tool in the future?
Thanks to answer me
An old VFP developer, who wants take the road again!

Record locking
The program that our campany sells has been a single user app since the day
it began. It is now becoming a multi-user app. I am still new to FoxPro
and I have to start adding some record locking. I had a few questions I was
hoping someone could help with.
Does the table or record I want to lock have to be in the data session?
Is there a time limit I can set on a record/table lock?
What if I forget some code to unlock the record, will it unlock when the
program closes? or if the program errors while I have a lock will that lock
be released?

Help me .. windows trouble
Hi
Let me thank those who helped me before.
I have developed an application using VFP7
When I open 2 or 3 programmes (like words,excel etc..)
alongwith my application, my application is always on top.
When i click the minimised icon of other programmes in the
status bar, they do not show up. I have to minimise my
application to see the other windows including the help
window of my application.
Even sometimes, when I open some files through my
application, the "Open Dialogue" window is behind my
application. Unless I minimise my application, I can't
access that window.
Can any one help me please?

size of application form
If you set the _SCREEN = OFF in config.fpw how can I tell the size of the
user's screen resolution. I have a form that is set to "Always on top" and I
want it to resize according to the size of the users desktop. What I would
normally do is check the height and width of _screen but that does not seem
to be working (maybe because I am using skins). Is there any api calls that
will give back the screen resolution?

What happened to my toolbar when editing memo fields in VFP?
Using VFP 7.0, I always had a toolbar when editing memo fields in free
tables. For some reason that disappeared a few days ago and I can't find
a way to restore those icons. It was just below the menu. I use it
mainly to save changes as I work. Hitting Control+W saves changes but
sometimes I get nervous that I will lose my work before I do close the
memo field and like to do a save. Hitting Control+S doesn't always work,
I've found, and I don't know why. I'm convinced it's a bug in Foxpro.
However, hitting the icon causes it to grey out, meaning all changes
have been saved and it eases my mind.

this correct behavior or possibly a bug?
EXAMPLE 1: the following DOES work correctly:
FRMSTA.GRD.COLUMN24.inputmask='999,999.99'
FRMSTA.GRD.COLUMN24.FORMAT='Z' && zero values are blanked
EXAMPLE 2: the following does NOT work:
