    Visual FreePro Update

    Here's in general where the program's at: 1. I'm working on the new forms engine. I'm going to have all of the VFP compatible MODIFY x developer screens pop up in that new forms engine internally. It will look very similar to our traditional VFP screens, but internally it will be using the new...

    Visual FreePro Update

    GTGeek88 said: "Yes, take care of yourself. What do you envision this project being? Also, how would it compare to VFP Advanced?" Dori intends to be a drop-in replacement for Visual FoxPro. 99% compatibility. It has a new forms engine, new report engine, new network abilities, new graphics...

    Visual FreePro Update

    Thank you, Scott! I assume since you're in this forum you're well versed in FoxPro. Do you know C/C++ and the basics of the Win32 API?

    Visual FreePro Update

    I wanted to let everyone know I had a personal life tragedy occur in late 2024. Since then, I have not been able to work on Dori (the current version code name of Visual FreePro). I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to resume because the change to my life is rather substantial (since late...

    Visual FreePro Update

    Am working on Dori. My goal is to have the general framework completed and working by January 2025. Will have something to demo around then. Won't be a complete product, but will have enough functionality you'll see where I'm going. Let's target January 15. -- Rick C. Hodgin

    Visual FreePro Update

    Agree completely. I've kind of resolved myself now to completing Dori in a developer form, meaning Dori will work basically like VFP9 does, just with the new abilities. I'll add the features as I'm able. Initially traditional XBASE, later SQL and other more complex coding requirement things...

    Visual FreePro Update

    I just noticed it says next to my name "Jul 19, 2012." That was one week to the day after I started the Visual FreePro Project. In the next four years I wrote nearly 120K lines of code in my evening, weekend, holiday, and personal time hours. I came so close ... but was taken down by that...

    Visual FreePro Update

    For me it was 1986. And I agree with you 100%. I'll need help to make it be complete enough to create a product for others to use. If anyone's interested in working on a Christian project, meaning one that has a literal cross on the splash screen and religious references at the top of every...

    Visual FreePro Update

    In C# you can access standard exposed functions in DLLs. You'd be able to use the Dori API that way. However, the philosophy of Visual FreePro, Jr., and that of Dori, is that a developer should be looking to create stand-alone software / products. They do not require the cloud, a network...

    Visual FreePro Update

    I had someone contact me recently asking about the status of Visual FreePro, Jr. I've gone through three iterations of different ways to apply the internal logic and design of Visual FreePro into a new product. I've currently settled on a 4th that I'm developing presently. I'm not sure I'll...

    Chris, I think you and I would do well collaborating on projects together. Ever want to work on Visual FreePro? -- Rick C. Hodgin

    Dropdown won't select with mouse, only keyboard

    I'm going to write an extension to a utility DLL I have that will hook into the WndProc() functions used for both windows, intercepting every message. I'm going to compare the messages sent from a system that's working (my PC), and the ones that aren't working, to see if I can see where there's...

    Visual Studio Help Files / Visual FoxPro 6 (VFP 98) Help File (FOXHELP.CHM)

    Another option I've used successfully if you have a license for it, is to get older copies of Windows and run them in VMs when you need certain things. With VirtualBox you can use the seamless integration option to have windows from those VMs appear as top-level apps on your desktop. With...

    Dropdown won't select with mouse, only keyboard

    Since the HWND of the popup is receiving mouse input, it has to send messages back to the parent HWND for VFP to identify the activity. I'm guessing the base number it's using is not being set properly for some reason, and the messages from the mouse are being sent back, but they're not being...

    Dropdown won't select with mouse, only keyboard

    ...the C++ program below, and here are the results when I open a dropdown in Windows. It produced the following output when the dropdown opens up: * Dropdown is opened with mouse click: #1 -- New window for popup Add 002e0e88 <no title> X=56, Y=122, W=560, H=53 Class = vfp994000003...

    Dropdown won't select with mouse, only keyboard

    My wife tells me I have special powers in that regard. LOL :-) I just think about things differently than other people do at times. I look at most things from a lower-level perspective. For the combobox dropdown part, for example, I recognize it as a separate window being drawn by Windows. I...

    Dropdown won't select with mouse, only keyboard

    All of the comboboxes we have can be clicked on or use the keyboard to open, and they all work with the mouse ... except these three identical computers. I haven't had time to spend on the issue yet, so I'm pulling all of my details from memory. IIRC, the dropdown used a popup window similar...

    Dropdown won't select with mouse, only keyboard

    Are you saying you cannot click on any time in the dropdown, and that it doesn't track with the mouse moving as it goes? And that you can only access it by keyboard? We have not been able to reproduce that condition, but that is what our client is seeing on three new 24-core Dell PCs. --...

    Dropdown won't select with mouse, only keyboard

    I will write some code to correct either you or me when I get the chance. :-) If you want, try writing an app to test for top-level WS_CHILD or tool windows present in the system (all of them). Make it run continually and report changes. When the dropdown opens up you'll see a new entry, and...
