Hi, I am looking for an disk encryption solution that is uncoupled from any specific vendor or OS. If a TPM module is used, it must not be at the motherboard layer. It can exist on the disk or at the pcie card layer. The kays are not to be saved at the motherboard or card layer. The keys...

Thanks for the discussion... I had done this back 18 years ago and had completely forgot about it, until I started to work on the old app that I never use as it is a specific customer app. While reviewing how I did it, I used the mousemove event of a graphic object that looks like a handle...

Thanks Scott... By dragging the edge of the grid if resizing a grid. When resizing a grid, I would use the grids resize event to change its neighbor's placement properties. If moving a line, (boundary line) for resizing an area in a form. Note that NO changes are made to the form, only the...

Hi, For example, how do I resize a grid or move a line at runtime? Not the form or a window, but only the control. Then from the control's resize event, I can adjust the neighboring controls. Thanks, Stanley

Hi, A long time ago I adopted a naming convention where lc=local char, ln=local numeric, gc=global char and so on. Because of this habit, I never do reassignments Changing a type from char to numeric or vice versa always has been a no-no and creates chaos. This style has served me well...

Chriss, You can set a default type ONLY when creating it. Once created, there is no way to redefine the default data type as Mike has confirmed. That was what I was asking. Thanks, Stanley

Hi, Thanks Mike... Glad you confirmed the issue and I wasn't missing something. Its always been trivial to deal with it and tonight, I thought I ask you guys as perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place. As far as the Thor stuff goes, I have a hard time keeping it working and eventually go back...

Hi, How do I change a custom form property's default value? Currently, I delete and re-create it. I've looked. You can change its name and comment, but not defaults. VFPA Thanks, Stanley

Thanks Mike, Issue solved... You nailed it... Thanks again, Stanley

Mark, Looks like I'm doing it the other way around, View Designer first, then load. Are both versions of the view identical? The one I create with the Designer is a complete single table view with all fields selected as updateable. I use that as a starting point for what is in the load...

HG 7? Yes, I have both v3 and v7 of the Hackers Guide. Stanley

Hi Mark, I have all the Hentzenwerke books as they were not flooded and in my day-to-day collection. "What's New in Nine" is in that collection. I have looked extensively in those books and have found very little about view implementation. I just found the best and probably the most basic...

Hi, Using VFPA on Win11Pro I have a form with a grid that is pushed off into the corner (out of the way) with it's visible property set to .F. I have a button that toggles its show/hide. It's show sets the grids top=10, left=10 and visible = .T. properties and it shows where needed. Its...

Thanks Mark, I can certainly use the GetNextModified() function as this is first time I've seen it (as least I don't remember seeing it and definitely have never used it and all probably because its related to remote data, something I didn't do back then. The more we discuss things here the...

Hi, True, but a 1-liner fixes that. Here is what I did that makes it easy by copying the builder's sql code straight to a .prg or method and adding a small one line. Then leave as is, or edit as it contains the whole table's definition as a starting point/template. Before I invest a lot of...
