Hi Chris, like I mentioned, the ability to enable/disable a button exists in FP2.6, but the ability to Hide/Show the button (Visible = .T./Visible = .F.) does not. You set up a control variable in the screen (it still uses .SCX) (called screens instead of "forms") which holds a "global"...

Chris, That's fine for VFP, but that option didn't exist for FP2.6. You couldn't hide objects on the form. Buttons have a minimal set of "Events" and being enabled or disabled is one of them. There's no OOP in FP2.6. Buttons are a special "object" in the environment, which had (If I recall...

mmerlin, This is a case where (and you did say FP2.6 - VFP, I just haven't had a chance to respond to this yet). As many have pointed out the key difference between FP2.x and VFP is object orientation. What is of course, cool, about FP though is that it has some of those "pre-cursors" to OOP...

Amusing... I never thought to do this. But then again, I don't have an issue with a recompile to EXE so much...

Oh yeah... I also wrote FPM2.6 and (Can you believe/remember this!) FoxPro 2.6 for SCO Unix. I was working a faculty at IU from 1991 to 1996. We chose Fox back in the day because of it's cross-platform capabilities. We had apps on every platform for some department or another. It was actually...

Yeah, I hit that earlier. It seems that UTF-8 issue was an issue, and something had "triggered" me to remove the CR/LFs as well, though I don't recall what. I have it working now! What an amazing dream. I had taken months to work out how to extract the data free form (and finding a person's...

I put it in TEXT..ENDTEXT block, and did get a different message, which I think supports your second point. I just had a look, I know I've seen it before but it's been ages. Where can I change the codepage? And is UTF8 even an option in VFP?

Good luck with that D-Ward. I've converted many FPD/FPW2.6 apps to VFP. Never regretted any. FPW tends to be a bit easier to convert because of its visual/graphical nature, but if you have a good project created using the FP tools (Screens) and code is already in snippets (and not just a long...

Hi All, I know there was some talk about this a few months back, but can't seem to find it. I've begun to discover the difference between ChatGPT and OpenAI API. Anyway, I have an application that has some contact management built into it that I've been using for yonks. It centers around...

I started with Enable (anyone ever even heard of it, let alone remember it?). I think DbaseIII was next for me, OH, then Paradox! I knew I was missing (some) from the other languages, and then Visual PAL (nightmare). Then FPD1.(something) and FPD2, moving to FPD2.6 and FPW2.6. (Loved these by...

I haven't found anything that is really reasonable.

I go in and out of interest in in XBase++ and VFPA.

I've also programed in RPGII & III, old school BASIC, Scheme, DataPower (a 4GL made specifically for GIS development), in the data science "theme" COGNOS, and I feel like I'm missing 3 or 4 others... EDIT: Oh! Paradox! And Object PAL. (We had a saying: You can do it like they do in other OOP...

Good Poll Chris, I'm interested in this as well. I cast my vote on FPD/W2.6, (rarely, but still have some about), VFP3 (only on MAC), and VFP9 (98%). I'm interested in VFPA, I looked at it when it was called VFP10, I like the 64bit idea, but my brief tinkering several years ago, I never really...

I never even thought to look at the size... If it compiles to EXE it will run. :) Our main application is just a hair un 16mb. A lot of this will depend on "excludes". Some things you don't need to compile into your application (and some you don't want to as it's a bad idea), but it's easy...

That's if you want to use native windows "window". Since I'm building this as a Ribbon and I don't want any of the "legacy" stuff following it around, I have made my own windows topline.

Hey Chris, That improvement to the IIF did the trick. I am viewing this as a bandaid, and short term fix. The safe select is interesting, but will require a full refit of the existing grids on the screen, which I know are not optimal, and there is a plan to address it longer term, but this...

Chris, Because it's taking the title from the the MAIN system Title Bar. I have taken control of the window title, and this error message is just reflecting what is there. The application is built to reflect modern ribbon system, and so I've used the ability within VFP to have more control...

Ah... I have found the error in the help file. I missed the "name". BUT it's not particularly helpful in this case, and Chris, I see your point about something oddly "very momentarily" causing the issue. BUT, since I have an error number (1759) I can suppress it in the error handler and as a...

Chris, Very tricky. Because I can't "trap" the error, because it's not a VFP "error", in fact it's the only control I've seen of near 40 years of Fox programming that doesn't have an "error code" (I have a full error handling routine that captures all the state at the tom of an error, for...
