    Is it pososible for VFP to access camera and read qr code?

    Mandy, it may be possible through the WinRT. There's a session coming up at FoxFest. There's no mention of cameras or QR codes in the session description but i'm sure questions will be asked during the session. If it is possible it will likely involve C#. hth n

    Error in nfJsonCreate in distributable but was working fine in development environment

    i've had issues in the past with both nfjsonread and nfjsoncreate because they don't use m.dot. in the runtime environment might you have an imported excel sheet with field names a,b,c,d,e,etc ? either select 0 before calling nfjsoncreate or change that bc to m.bc . hth n

    There are text boxes that, under ce

    Sasha, or leave enabled but have the .when() method return false under those conditions. that said, the idea of the disabled/readonly colour change is to indicate to the user that they can't/must't be changed. hth n

    how to do box as shown in the picture?

    Mandy, that's the old (and these days very dated & ugly) 3d effect. set the .themes property for each control (or the form) to false and .specialeffect property to 0. n

    How to interrupt a running VFP app without having VFP interrogating an outside file, device or other

    Griff, perhaps no benefit. But a dderequst() from one (UI) process does cause an "event" in the receiving process (in that the ddesetopic passes a UDF to fire when the topic is called by the first (UI) process.) i mention it a bit tongue-in-cheek... it's more or less deprecated but it does...

    How to interrupt a running VFP app without having VFP interrogating an outside file, device or other

    Dennis, VFP still has DDE ! so one (background?) process would ddesetservice() and ddesettopic() and the other (UI) process would ddeinitiate() and ddeexceute() or dderequest() hth n

    How to call a button from a called form?

    Mandy, Mike and Colin have answered your question "as asked"...... but it's probably worth adding that that is not a great way of doing things. At some point in the future someone may be working on the parent form and decide to change the button's name or move it onto one the pageframe tabs or...

    Highlighting (by bold, italic etc.) only part of a string

    Rajesh, then you are probably already showing a grid of filtered records...... highlighting the column should be good enough? i do similar for browsing records.. in this case the filter reduces the record set and i've not been tempted to highlight.... hth n

    Highlighting (by bold, italic etc.) only part of a string

    Rajesh, we need to know more about what you are trying to achieve. As has been said you can't have mixed fonts within labels, textboxes or other native VFP controls. But if this is some sort of lookup would this approach work? this is done using the grid column's dynamicbackcolor property...

    Foxpro to Quickbooks Online

    Mukesh, there is a REST API or there is this CDATA driver which enables you to treat quickbooks as an ODBC cursor. But it's not cheap - especially if you need royalty free. hth n p.s. if you're unfamiliar with REST APIs start here

    How to fill a list box in a form with unique labels.

    Mike Y the array is created by the addproperty (or in the baseclass) it's just not populated if the table is empty. and you can always if _TALLY = 0 this.asource(1) = "(none found)" && or somesuch endif immediately after the select. n
