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

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...

Setting affinity did not work. Same issue as before. -- Rick C. Hodgin

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...

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...

I wrote 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...

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...

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...

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. --...

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...

MODIFY FORM c:\temp\test.scx * Add a single combobox. * Add this code for Load(): CREATE CURSOR c_data ; ( ; cItem c(120) ; ) INSERT INTO c_data VALUES ("Item 1 Item 1 Item 1 Item 1 Item 1 Item 1 Item 1 Item 1 Item 1 Item 1 Item 1") INSERT INTO c_data VALUES ("Item 2 Item 2 Item 2 Item...

The combobox dropdowns are the part that comes down (or goes up) once you click the down arrow on a combobox. That popup part uses a separate HWND that is its own window to Windows, and it's not drawn atop the existing form window. I believe the issue is there in the handler for that popup...

Haven't seen this before. We have a customer that purchased three new 24-CPU Dell machines with Windows 11. The FoxPro apps we have don't allow the combobox dropdowns to work without using the keyboard. You can click on the control to bring up the dropdown list, and then arrow up/down and...

We have received full folders of their programs and data. I only see compiled COB files, but we do have access to a copy of their system and data. I should be able to begin accessing it starting this week. -- Rick C. Hodgin

If compression is specified by this byte in the page 0 header portion of each file: u8 compression; // 23,1 Then I can tell you the 97 files we have all have the value 2 in that field. And, when I open them in a text editor, they are straight-forward readable, albeit compressed...

Just wanted to keep you up to date. We've asked the company for information, and they have not responded yet. We were told it had to go through their IT department, as our contacts are just office staff / end-users. I've been able to download a copy of RM/COBOL-85 5.36.00 for DOS 2.00+ from...

I found version 5.36.00 of RM/COBOL for DOS. Would this help? -- Rick C. Hodgin

Will do. Thank you. -- Rick C. Hodgin

I don't know. The company that was servicing these data files slowed and eventually stopped communicating with the people working with the data. This went on for about a year. As such, they have no contacts in the company, and their software won't run because of the license issue. They have...
