I have a pair of forms that are related (in a parent/child kind of way). There's code in my framework so that if I move the record pointer in the parent form, the child form moves to the corresponding record. That's all working. This application allows only one form to be in edit mode at a...

Let me start by saying we've found a workaround, so I'm posting this because I want to know the answer, not because I need a solution. A vertical market application I'm working on has a routine that copies a couple of files from one folder to another, changing the name in the process. It's been...

I'm running into a weird issue on a client project. This is a large vertical market application that has a ton of reports created in FP2.6/Win that need to run in the VFP version of the application that we're creating. For the moment, we cannot convert them to VFP because they have to run in...

I have a vague feeling this is connected to something I've read about, but I can't put it together. For my drag-and-drop session at SWFox, I'm demoing both native and OLE drag-and-drop. With native drag-and-drop, everything is fine on my Windows 7 machine. But in Windows 10, when there's no...

Curious what people are using to provide a runtime Command Window/Line in their apps. I've never had to come up with one before, but I'm working on an FPW -> VFP conversion and the old app has a little utility (that can only be accessed when a certain file is present) that they'd like replaced...

I'm saddened to report the death of Janis (nee Jim) Booth, a longtime VFP author, speaker and trainer. Here's her obituary: http://www.eastsidememorial.com/book-of-memories/3136028/Booth-Janis/obituary.php I don't know any more than this. Tamar

I have a fairly simple grid, set up essentially as a picklist: AllowCellSelection = .F. Highlight = .F. HighlightRow = .F. HighlightStyle = 2 Various other settings (DeleteMark and RecordMark both .F.) in the PropSheet as well. On the same page (of a pageframe), I have data-entry controls...

I asked about this over on StackOverflow, but figured I'd try here, too: I'm trying to install SQL Server 2014 Enterprise x64 on a 64-bit machine running Windows 7 SP1. I'm trying to install side-by-side with a SQL Server 2008 R2 installation. I work through the Setup Wizard with everything...

I'll start by saying that I'm doing this just to learn how these things work, so I can use them when I need them and so I can write about them. I've been playing around with ROLLUP, CUBE and GROUPING SETS. At the moment, I'm trying to write the GROUPING SETS equivalent of a query that I've...

SQL Server 2008 R2 I'm trying to understand the FOR XML PATH('') and how it's used when you want to combine multiple values from a column into a single record. To experiment, I'm using the AdventureWorks database. My simple example is to get a list of orders with a comma-separated (or...

I've now seen the same weird thing happen several times, enough to know that I'm not making it up. Hoping somebody might have a suggestion. I got a new computer within the last month. Running 64-bit Win7 Ultimate. As I set it up, I updated lots of apps to their latest versions. Among other...

I'm looking for ideas on tracking down memory leaks in an application. Here's the background. I have a VFP EXE (call it UI) that instantiates a VFP COM DLL (call it DL). DL instantiates another VFP COM DLL (call it Online Timer) and a C# DLL (call it Comms). Comms talks to some hardware. Lots...

An app I've been working on that's nearly ready for beta testing is giving random C5 errors and I'm looking for ideas. Here's the background: I have a VFP EXE (call it UI) that instantiates a VFP out-of-process COM object (call it DL). DL instantiates another VFP COM object (call it...

Figured I'd post this here as well as a couple of other places, since people here seem to be good at out of the box solutions: I'm going to start with the short question and then explain what got me to it. Is there something that reliably fires when an interactive Resize is complete? I have a...

Hi, guys, got an interesting one here. I'm trying to adjust something everytime a different form is activated without having to put code in the form class. (Trying to do an observer kind of thing.) I figured I'd bind to changes to _SCREEN.ActiveForm, but it doesn't seem to work. Here's my test...
