Is there a way to issue the commands to burn files to a CD without having to exit FoxPro?

Can someone please get me going on reading data from a COM port using VFP v7. I am running Windows XP and have not figured out how to read data being sent to a serial port. I can send data okay. Thanks

I would like to create a program to FTP text files TO/FROM an FTP site. I would like to have the following capabilities: make sure an Internet connection exists, setup the FTP connection and make sure it exists, send/receive text files, close the connection. Any help on information about...

I have two fields: one that is a count of how many times a record was updated and one that stores the DATETIME() of the last update. It seems reasonable to use the UPDATE trigger so it will be automatic. Whenever I try to update a value in the record using the UPDATE TRIGGER (calls...

Thanks. I give that a try.

In Visual FoxPro v6 under Win95 I created a non-visual class. I had FoxPro build a multi-threaded .DLL. I sent the .DLL, .TBL, .VBR files and the two Fox runtime files to the client. I included instructions to register the .DLL using RegSvr32 and put the runtimes and the .DLL in the same...

Check the Developer's Guide section that talks about Drag-Drop. As I remember, the trick is to use the MouseDown event to detect the item you are on in the list. Using the list requires a slightly different approach to drag-drop. I got it to work with a bit of playing around and the hints from...

I am interested in using Foxpro to support a Website for users of my Point Of Sale system. I want to allow them to be able to retrieve data from a database, input data into forms on their browser and calculate totals, return a formatted result set, and graphs of data on request. I would like...

Thanks. I cleaned out the expr, tag, tag2 fields on the first record in all the reports. Recompliled and sent the new .EXE. I also had the user remove then reinstall the printer driver for his printer. All this was completed without any problems. HOWEVER, Widnows still freezes the machine (the...

I have a problem when new/different printers are used with my application. My application has worked fine for several years with HP Deskjet printers. I have NO printer specific code, these are FoxPro reports, and I use the default Windows printer. Several users recently bought new Brother...

You might try this.&nbsp;&nbsp;It solved a similar problem for me.<br><br>In the grid's INIT method:<br>Create a &quot;empty&quot; table or cursor with the structure you desire but NO DATA.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then point the grid RecordSource to that empty table. <br><br>Create the data table/cursor you...

If it is blank you must reset the RecordSource = &quot;tablename&quot; each time the table is updated. The query will delete the exisitng table and create it anew each time you run the query. Once the table is deleted the grid's RecordSource link is dropped. You must restore it.<br> <br> To...

It's not clear what other applications you are refering to. Is the other application a program you're writing in Visual Basic or something like MS Word?<br> <br> You might examine the VFP Developer's Guide and explore the possibility of building a VFP service that could be called from other...

You might explore the possibility of using Adobe's Acrobat Writer and Reader. The writer can create exact images of your report in .PDF format and follows the MS object model to allow you access through the VFP IDE. The writer is about $215. The reader is free (therefore can be easily...

Occassionally I desire to REFRESH one object to avoid the overhead of refreshing the entire form. For example: suppose I have a grid and a command button in a panel container object. I can fire the grid refresh event from the command button with a specific reference to the grid object: e.g...

Check out a company called TAL. They make a product called BC-Wedge. It's software for Windows that allows communication from the reader through a serial port directly into the keyboard buffer. I believe it is less clunky than the &quot;keyboard wedge&quot; approach (although that works...

Thank you for the information.<br> <br> Where is the information about the properties (.row, .datagrid.rowlabel, etc.) located? That is, if I want to explore other OLE objects (or MSGRAPH more completely) how do I find out about the associated properties and methods?

The VFP Developer's guide shows a method of using MSGRAPH through a bound OLE control (using APPEND GENERAL). Is there a way to do the same using an UNbound OLE control? Specifically how do you pass data programmatically to the control?<br>
