    - vb6 exe creation needs foxpro7 installed to run with fp database A small program that only reads fpxpro7 database (dbf file) from a directory using ADO connection string cannot be run if compiled on a machine without foxpro installed. In order to run, the exe needs to be compiled in VB6 WITH foxpro7 installed. Actually, ADO connection string is not hardcoded. It can be configured from my application with ado connection wizard. naturally, if foxpro does not exists on my VB development computer, I cannot build a connectionstring for foxpro database. but on client's computer, as foxpro installed, user can configure it according to use foxpro db. According to this, if my program needs to use foxpro, I have install faxpro to my development computer. if it needs oracle, do I need to install oracle in my computer ? what's wrong here. I don't want to install foxpro in my computer. I want to write my code and I want my client to configure my application. any help please ? Tag: creating safearrays in VFP Tag: 216813

    - VFP8 won't install, won't run VFP 8 no longer runs on my box. It generates c0000005 on startup. I have deleted all foxuser files, cleared config.fpw. I uninstalled it with the installer, and that worked fine. I tried to re-install it, and it gives an error, so now I can't re-install it. I copied files from CD, which I have done before sucessfully, set them to read/write, but it still gives c0000005 on startup. VFP9 works fine on the same machine, other apps work fine AFAIK. Anyone run into this before? Tag: creating safearrays in VFP Tag: 216808

    - Is the paste offset user-definable? Through the years, I've gotten used to the fact that, in the VFP IDE, when you copy a control and paste it, the pasted copy is 8 pixels lower and to the right from the original location. Often, I am copying and pasting controls from one page or container to another and I want to retain the original location. Currently, I just automatically hit the left arrow 8 times and the up arrow 8 times to place the copy. I was wondering if this 8-pixel offset can be changed somehow. Anyone know? -- TRW _______________________________________ t r w 7 at i x dot n e t c o m dot c o m _______________________________________ Tag: creating safearrays in VFP Tag: 216794

    - Reports 'suprpcol'? what is it? I've had a report for which fields just won't print on the first page no matter what the data or 'print when' settings are. When I open the report as a table the only difference between fields that print and don't is that the column suprpcol=3 on fields that print and 0 on fields that don't. If I hack the frx by manually changing suprpcol to 3 and save it then run the report those fields magically appear on the first page again. But I can't work out what suprpcol is or how it is changed in report designer. Does anyone know? LH Tag: creating safearrays in VFP Tag: 216776

    - VFP9 report data environment display bug I have a report data environment with many tables and many relations (> 20 tables up to 5 levels deep). Works fine in report data environment. However when I save the data environment to a dataenvironment class and reuse it on another report, the layout of the tables in the data environment is lost. They just appear in a straight line across the data environment designer. This in its self is not the problem, just an annoyance. The problem is that at some point, I can not get to the tables on the far right side of the data environment designer. The relation lines go off the right side and no matter what I do, I an not get to the tables to reorganise them. I tried resizing the form every which way, resiizing the screen resolution. Even tried editing the table directly. So, how can I get to these tables to lay them out neatly? Cheers David Tag: creating safearrays in VFP Tag: 216743

    - OLE Automation and Window handles I am working with automating some barcode label software in VFP 9. One of the OLE functions is used to draw a preview image of the barcode label in an image object. The parameter of the function requires a handle to the control that I want to paint the image in. This can be accomplished in Visual Basic by using the hWnd property of the image control. VFP does not have this functionality that I am aware of for controls. 1.) Is it possible to use this method of painting in an image control in VFP 9? 2.) If not, is it possible to use a form and draw the label preview directly on the form using the form's hWnd propery, maybe by using GDI? Thanks for any help you can give.

    - Who Dunnit? Thanks in advance for the help. I have a nightly job which sometimes fails to run because a user stayed in the application and the nightly job can't get exclusive access to the files which need to be updated. I have the following questions: 1. Is there any way for me to get VFP to tell me which user has the file open? 2. Is there a way (that works) to have applications terminate at a specific time? I tried putting a timer on the main form but if the user stays in a sub-form, it never gets back to the main form (or the main form timer fires but can't close the app because a sub-form is open). Do I need a timer on each form? Do I need to write a routine like: FOR EACH OPEN FORM OpenForm.Close() NEXT If that is the way to go can someone tell me the actual code that will do this?

    - Report Form xx PROMPT vs. Default Printer Hi All, Ever experienced super small 1/4 size printing on a report? In circumstances where you use the PROMPT and NOPAGEEJECT options on the REPORT FORM command so that the user can select the printer desired and so that a subsequent report will be part of the same print job, the subsequent report will always use the default printer driver no matter what printer the user selected. IOW, the PROMPT option of the report command only effects that specific report and not all the reports that are part of the same print job. Example: REPORT FORM A1 TO PRINTER PROMPT NOPAGEEJECT NOCONSOLE REPORT FORM A2 TO PRINTER NOCONSOLE If the user selects any printer other than the default when prompted the two reports above that are both part of the same print job will be printed to the same printer using different printer drivers for the first and second reports. (Keeping them part of the same print job is really handy when printing to a PDF file) . Using the wrong printer driver for a report going to a printer can give you strange results. Is there a way to force multiple reports that are part of the same print job and all going to the same printer to use the printer driver that is related to the PROMPT selection made on the first report? I have resorted to placing a sys(1037) in code just before my report rather than using the PROMPT option on a REPORT FORM command, to change the default printer. It is a kludge and does not present as nice a user interaction as the prompt option but it works. This seems like a minor bug to me...

    - call32.dll questions I've been using Rick Strahl's call32.dll from FPW with fairly high success on Win95 and ntvdm under 2K and XP. It can be a bit painful at times (eg just trying to Declare32 a non existant function name will throw a GPF instead of something friendlier.) There's also an annoyance when trying to RegFN() - if you pass the whole path to the dll then the second and subsequent attempts to register a function claim there is no function of that name within the dll. Relative paths seem OK but since I can't be sure of current directory I found the easiest thing to do was change default to dll directory, register the functions and then change default back. Anyway, sometimes after a few function calls, a GPF will be thrown just trying to call any function in call32. It is always the same GPF and it persists between FPW sessions. I have found that if I kill off the ntvdm process using task manager then it starts working again (or, of course, reboot. Merely exiting all 16bit applications doesn't stop wowexec and ntvdm, they are left running for a quicker startup if you run another 16bit application.) Does anyone have any idea why it seems to go a bit screwy after a while? It's a little annoying because I thought I'd got it working stably but now I've put it into production the flakiness has been exposed. All the examples I've seen for calling functions in external dlls don't do anything to tidy up afterwards and I wonder if this is the problem? The next thing I'm going to try is the latest version of call32.dll, it was originally written for VB and Rick took the source and added a few other functions that may be useful to Foxpro programmers. The latest version has been updated a couple of times since Rick's build and there is an extra function to free libraries used. Anyone else have any experience with this module? -- TIA Andrew Howell Tag: creating safearrays in VFP Tag: 216634

In 8.0, the change in size is recognized at the time of the Activate method, but this is not the case in 9.0.

Does anyone out there know how to create SAFEARRAY in VFP.
I have a 3rd party COM object which requirest a SAFEARRAY as a parameter and
following are the items,
"Name", <Name>
"SurName", <SurName>
"Prefix", <Prefix>

The COM object has been written in C++ by a client, and we need to use this
COM object to integrate our app with theirs.
I checked UT and found some old code related to this, but it doesn't work
and i could't figure anything out!!!

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Sorry I forgot to mention that as well.
COMARRAY doesn't help.

When i used it, and then executed the COM method by passing my array into
the method,
then the following error message pops,
"ole object may be corrupt!"
