    - Feature not available in demo version Windows XP, VFP50 I have just migrated to XP and now i get a message in my application "Feature not available in demo version". I have seen a similar message when I inadvertantly leave a suspend in my form, but I have never seen this I get the message when I am examining several tables for a key. If I don't find it, I add it to another table. The process is determining what invoice numbers are not currently in a table Any thoughts TIA Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 186145

    - Text boxes becoming disabled. What would cause all text boxes on a form to become disabled? I have checked the enabled and readonly properties and they are set correctly. This did not start happening until I run it over my XP network. Folders are set to share files. This only happens on one form not on the other forms in the application. Tabstop is also set to .t. on each text box. The command buttons and other controls are enabled and work properly. Thanks in advance, John. Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 186144

    - Returning focus after scan...VFP8.0 I have 3 computers each running a VFP 8.0 application. Each computer is of the same brand running XP and each computer is using a Symbol LS1908 USB bar code scanner. On 2 of the computers when I scan the bar code, the application returns focus to the same field and awaits another scan. On the 3rd computer control does not return to the text box for another scan. Each system is running the same exe. Each system has set confirm on. What else could cause this? Thanks in advance, John Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 186137

    - 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. It's fine to use a mouse to control the scroll bar. But up or down arrow keys can not go through the whole range. The grid will be stopped somewhere and seems missing many records. I am using VFP 8 SP1 and tested it in 2000 and XP machines. Any ideas? TIA Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 186136

    - 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 - combo box 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 - combo box Tag: 186118

    - Unable to release form.. Hi I use VFP7. I have a top level form and top level menu. A form is displayed for each meu item. I run a programme to release the displayed form when another menu item is chosen. When a "grid" in the form has the "focus", I am unable to release the form. I have tried all the commands like release window, object.release etc.. None works. But there is no problem with other controls like combo,text boxes etc.. Please help me .. Thanks in advance. Bala .

    - 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.

    - Bug? The InteractiveChange Event in a combobox in a grid cannot be trigged? I found the InteractiveChange Event in a combobox in a grid cannot be trigged properly if 1) RowSourceType is 6 and you hold the left button of a mouse and move to the row you want and release the mouse. 2) RowSourceType is 1 and you click the down arrow and release the mouse and then move to the row you want and release the mouse. RecordSourceType in the grid is the default value 1. It works if you use method 1) when RowSourceType is 1 or you use method 2) when RowSourceType is 6. Any ideas?

    - Error when trying to open class This one is driving me nutty. The problem cropped up when I tried to MODI CLASS on one of the classes in a VCX. VFP says "Error loading file - record number 73. lblReplaces <or one of its members>. Parent: Not a table". I tried deleting record 73. Same error. I packed the VCX. Same error on record 73, but now it reported the object as a grid object (the one that used to be record 74 before the pack). I use Cryptor for encryption of the data in this app and I get a "Not a table" error if I forget to load Cryptor and register the data files, so I thought it was something related to the encryption (though I had the library loaded and set up properly). So I decrypted all the data even though VFP shouldn't be attempting to open the tables when it opens this class. Unfortunately, that did not do the trick. I've checked out the label base class that record 73 is based on and it seems fine as do all of my other base classes. I'm checking the VCX for corruption, but so far I haven't turned up anything. Anybody seen this before. This happens under VFP 7 SP 1 and VFP 8 SP 1. Thanks, Russell Campbell Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 186055

    - Must be an easy way to do this... Given that Adobe Acrobat 5 is installed on the PC running my VFP 6 SP5 application, and given that there is a specific PDF file sitting somewhere on the PC's hard drive, I want to gracefully print a hard copy of that PDF to the current Windows printer. I have looked through the Acrobat SDK and see the DDE calls such as FilePrintSilent but have only been able to use this by first starting up Acrobat *Reader*, establishing the DDE connection to it, then printing the desired PDF. This is very clunky and visually ugly with Reader popping up. I am extensively using Acrobat itself through OLE automation which is completely invisible to the user, but I see no way to use an Acrobat OLE object to print a hard copy of a specific PDF file. You can print a PDF file within the Acrobat application itself, but not via OLE? Seems odd. Has anyone had success with printing a hard copy of a PDF file invisibly from within VFP? Perhaps a third-party tool? -- TRW _______________________________________ My e-mail: t r w 7 @ i x . n e t c o m . c o m _______________________________________ Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 186050

    - Finding the last record in a table How would you go about locating the last of one or many records for an account in a table. The table can have just one or many and the account identifier is in a memo field. The format of the account number is easy enough to find in that it will have the syntax, for example: account = 12345.00 I'm assuming I should create a logical field called last that I can then populate with .t. for last. I can open the table twice, scan (for not reviewed-explained later) , flag as last upon finding a perform a loca for the field in the second, with a continue. I can also create a reviewed field that will be set to .t. after either being hit in the scan, or located. That's as far as I get with it. -- Thank you, Louis Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 186046

    - dimension array as object In Visual Basic, you can do something like this: type MyType var1 as string var2 as integer end type dim MyVar(20) as MyType I'm trying to do something similar in FoxPro. It seems like you should be able to use CreateObject('Empty'), then add the properties to it you want, then dimension an array of the object like. Something like this: MyType = CREATEOBJECT("EMPTY") ADDPROPERTY(MyType,"Var1","") ADDPROPERTY(MyType,"Var2","") DIMENSION MyVar(20) as MyType However, this doesn't dimension MyVar as MyType. It dimensions it the same as if you didn't use "as MyType". Is there any way to dimension an array as an object like I want to do?

    - Finding Memory Problems Hi all, I'm trying to clean up memory problems in a somewhat involved app and looking for ways of measuring the problems. Can anyone point to maybe a white paper on finding and addressing such things? So far I've just put statements in various areas of the code that write a record to a table indicating the current memory usage (as told by SYS(1016)) at that point. This seems to be a pretty ineffective--at least at diagnosing a technique that might cause the problem. For example, I found one interval that consistently increased in memory usage by around 2600 bytes most times it executed (a few thousand). Trying to recreate the problem in an isolated setting, I put together a small prg that just did those same steps in a loop. In this case, though, the memory change was 0. I've tried adding SYS(1104) in varying locations/timings in the program, but no change to speak of occurs in any case. I had some suspicion that printing was causing it but have found little to back this (at least not with SYS(1016)) and I am somewhat restricted in my driver options. Next up is tweaking memory w/ SYS(3050), but that still will only extend the time before running out of memory. Are there better ways of pinpointing where memory leaks occur w/in an app or are these pretty much all we have? Even like shell commands? TIA, John Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 185986

    - cursortoxml() and chr(13) in memos Hullo, I have a table with a memo field that contains, amongst other things, occurances of chr(10) and chr(13) . If I convert this to an XML string using CursorToXML() and then convert it back to a table using XMLToCursor() then all occurances of chr(13) are stripped from the memo. I've used the various flag settings for the two functions but the chr(13)'s are always stripped. How can I keep the carriage returns? Thanks in advance. Yours faithfully Paul S.

    - Suppressing PDF Writer screen output VFP 6 SP5 on WinXP Pro I do some PDF production in one of my VFP apps. I have no problems getting the app to use the PDF Writer printer without involving the user (using the registry setting trick). One of my routines customizes a Word file via OLE automation, then prints the result to a PDF. I'd like to suppress the little dialog that pops up while it is printing this Word doc. The one that says "Printing" at the top and shows a count of the pages being printed. I use the Windows LockWindowUpdate API call at other times to hide UI changes, but this does not work in this case. I assume this is because Word is the application originating the PDF Writer activity. Does anyone know of another way to suppress this little dialog in a situation like this? -- TRW _______________________________________ My e-mail: t r w 7 @ i x . n e t c o m . c o m _______________________________________ Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 185940

    - OT: Creating a .lnk file Hi all, Sorry, this is tangentally VFP related at best. I'm trying to figure out how to programatically drop a shortcut to a vfp executable into the startup programs. The format of such a file seems to escape me, but looks more like a table header than a text file. Has anyone done this? TIA, John Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 185937

    - INSERT during transaction - trigger failed This used to work, so I'm not sure what I did to screw it up (might have something to do with my SET EXCLUSIVE setting), but here's what's happening: I have two tables: USERS and USERPROMOS. The primary key of USERS, userid, is also a foreign key in USERPROMOS. The relational integrity procedures are set to stop inserts into UP without a corresponding userid in U. When I get a batch of records to import in, I get the record from my input file using a SCATTER NAME, INSERT the record into U, then go to UP and insert a record there, too, referencing Users->Userid as the userid for the new record in UP. Like so: SELECT _INCOMING BEGIN TRANSACTION ON ERROR DO "Err_CannotAddRec" DO WHILE !EOF() SCATTER NAME oRec WITH oRec * Add record to USERS INSERT INTO Users (...a bunch of fields...); VALUES (...a bunch of values...) * Add record to UserPromos INSERT INTO UserPromos (userid, initcontact) ; VALUES (Users->UserID, DATE()) ENDWITH oRec = NULL SKIP ENDDO END TRANSACTION The problem I'm having right now is that the second INSERT is failing in the INSERT trigger. It goes and opens up the USERS table in a new workarea and SEEKs the userid to verify it's there. For some reason, though, it's NOT there. If I go over and look at the USERS workarea, it IS there, but it doesn't come into the area where the RI procedure opened it up using USE USERS AGAIN. I'm thinking it's my transaction. If I go and do an END TRANSACTION when the program stops at the second insert, then retry that insert, it works because the new instance of USERS actually does find the new userid. Problem is, I'm not willing to dispense with the transaction in my code. I can't risk something screwing up during the import because a partial import would be real problematic. Could I solve this with some kind of buffering change, or anything like that? Another idea I had was to separate the two inserts into two separate loops, with a TRANS surrounding each of the loops. That's a pain, though, thanks to having to locate the new userid's. TIA for any help. -- Michael Kellogg CC3 West DP Programming Running VFP 6-SP4 Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 185934

    - Migrating from FoxPro 2.6 to FoxPro 8.0 We have an old FoxPro 2.6 app which runs on Win 95/98/ME printing to a CITOH 5000 impact printer using a TTY driver. These machines are to be replaced with WinXP which seems to have dropped support for TTY. When we use the native Windows driver some rows are shifted to the right by a few characters. Is doing a migration to VFP 8 the best solution to this issue? I have access to the source and my first attempt ended with an error: Fatal Error in Converter: Error: Alias name is already in use. Error Number: 24 Method: openfile Offending Code: USE ... File being processed: basw110.scx I'm quite familiar with other IDE's (VB, PowerBuilder, .NET) and databases (SQL Server, Oracle, Access) but haven't used FoxPro before. Program functionality hasn't changed in years so we're not looking to do any coding changes. -- Neil Negandhi negandhi@vex.net Tag: newbie question - combo box Tag: 185929

Hi,
Comboboxes are very flexible, so it's difficult to cover all
options in one example, unfortunately.

> a combo box have this value - apple, boy, cat for user to select

If the displayed values are hard-coded, you can use AddItem()
and AddListItem(), for example
PROCEDURE Combo1.Init
This.AddItem("apple") && 1st col
This.AddListItem("a",This.NewItemID,2) && 2nd col
This.AddItem("boy") && 1st col
This.AddListItem("b",This.NewItemID,2) && 2nd col
This.AddItem("cat") && 1st col
This.AddListItem("c",This.NewItemID,2) && 2nd col
ENDPROC
see also the List() method and the examples there and in the
other related topics in help. (see also With / Endwith)

If they come from a lookup table, one way can be to put an
SQL statement into the combo.RowSource property
combo1.RowSourceType=3
combo1.RowSource="Select cName, cValue " + ;
"From LookupTable Into Cursor Sys(2015)"
(w/o quotes in the property sheet)

> but underlying the value - a, b, or c will store to table instead.

combo1.BoundColumn=2

If the value in the second RowSource column is meant to be
numeric, you'll need combo1.BoundTo = .T. additionally
If the value in the second column must not be visible in the
combo dropdown, you'll leave .ColumnCount=1 (default)
