The wiki has been updated: Visual-FreePro Wiki If you'd like write access to help me update the wiki, it would be appreciated. Best regards, Rick C. Hodgin PS - "Wiki" stands for "What I Know Is..." Interesting, yes? :-)

On the form. Comments? Thoughts? Added properties: (1) RelativeToForMoves Added specifically for the command window, but will work with any form. It's a setting which allows a form to always be moved when another form is moved. In VFrP, the command window is its own form presented as...

On the form. Please add comments / thoughts. Added events: VFrP allows events, methods, objects and properties to be added at runtime or designtime. (1) AddingEvent() (2) AddingMethod() (3) AddingObject() (4) AddingProperty() These are called immediately after the thing is added (and if an...

How about a KeyPreProcess event? It is called before KeyPress to allow the running application to intercept and consume that keystroke in some way, to absorb it, alter it, substitute it with an additional sequence to use in its place, the results of which are then sent to the KeyPress event...

Ali, Great suggestions. I agree completely with 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7. Consider them done. I hate VFP's grid class. It's clunky as all get out. I will create a Grid class that provides commensurate functionality for compatibility. Number 4, excel, will have to be integrated differently. I...

A few questions. Please advise. :-) (1) Any reason to keep FormSets? Didn't think so. They're history. :-) (2) Any reason _screen can't be a regular form (and not the special desktop it is today). I'm thinking VFrP can have multiple _screen objects open at the same time from a single...

I've learned to do this nearly all the time. And even more, to copy the .exe into the proper (simulated) data directory, because doing so creates the exact environment you'll have when the customer is running it. No developer files in your development directory, but only the raw, naked...

Possibly. I do have a couple TB drives I use for backup. I may have one hidden somewhere up in there. :-) Regardless, some of the work I've done on a project this year has made the way I would've handled the program execution, threading, stack and variable space somewhat altered. I may be...

A lot of work. Migrated to VS2008. It compiles now, but is missing two constructors indicating that this is, indeed, not the current version. VFrP on github Also, I found references in dates to source code from 2009 and early 2010. I had not remembered beginning it so far back. I believe...

In looking over this VFrP code I uploaded to githup, this is not the most current version. I'm not sure what happened to it. I can't seem to find a newer versions that have anything populated in the directories, just a naming structure (like FreePro2) where the internal content was deleted...

It's obvious. They could not monetize VFP as well as they could .NET. And were MS to re-release VFP 10 under a new non-royalty-free runtime license, or re-release even new versions of prior products, people would just continue to use the older ones. MS had to kill it so they could force...

He's certainly all ears! Not just remote DBFs from a remote instance of VFrP. The idea would be that you access foreign databases through native VFrP commands, which either go through an InDisk layer to get it, or more preferably to have a built-in plug-in which, based on some type of...

You crack me up! :-) You old softy! :-) I am going to remove all obsfucation from anything related to future DMBS in Visual FreePro. Everything will be accessed through the traditional set of xBase commands to access local tables, along with SQL commands (I will support the behaviors as...

Regarding the VFrP fox icon: I wanted to convey a much more laid back, at peace with himself, kind of mascot. If you look at the FoxPro icons, they all have this sneaky-looking, "I'm ready to eat your chickens" looking fox. Didn't want that. I wanted a confident animal, one who doesn't have...

I spent most of the afternoon and evening Sunday setting up the website. There's a landing page and a wiki now. Officially, Visual FreePro will be referred to as VFrP, pronounced "vee ferp". Visual-FreePro.org I have decided not to reference the name "Microsoft" or "FoxPro" (or "FoxBASE") in...

This may not help and I don't have much experience with other languages, but is there a codepage setting that needs set? I know by default the codepages I view in English are 1252. Best regards, Rick C. Hodgin

In progress! Will soon host the source code I already have developed on that machine through a git repo. Will switch to a Windows development environment until it is sufficiently edited as I desire to work with edit-and-continue tools (Microsoft's Visual Studio). Oh, that's something else VFrP...

I've been thinking about this. Surely the developers were under constraints from Microsoft, and there were things they wanted to (1) do and (2) do differently, but were prohibited from doing so because of executive decisions. Maybe I'm being too harsh on what could be a wonderful source of...

Olaf, Absolutely! Ask him if there are any legal issues. Tell him I want to basically replace Visual FoxPro 9 with an almost clone, but with some differences, losses and enhancements, entirely written from new source code using my own engine design. I'd be curious to see what he says. As...

Yes. All overrides would still be in effect. What I'm proposing would save you doing this: (1) Open the form which has some user classes on it. (2) Edit, in the process realize you need to change some parent class code. (3) Close the form. (4) Open the class. (5) Edit. (6) Close the class...
