an example in OO, what works for me
*** Here is a very similar Visual FoxPro - Open Office example that.....
*** 1. Creates an OOo Calc spreadsheet
*** 2. Puts some strings into it.
*** 3. Puts some numbers into it.
*** 4. Puts some dates into it (as formulas)
*** 5. Saves it in Calc...
What do i use after foxpro?
i will use foxpro again :)
This language is so mature. A developer with good skills can make a good living with it. I am sure.
I was thinking a little bit deeper about foxpro as language these days.
I must say, I always blamed M$ for NOT continuing development of...
Thanks David for u cooperative thinking, i have a blackout i think :)
i can issue the command "on key label f2 _screen.activeform.method" also in a form method instead of a external program.
In the keypress Event of the form:
if nKeyCode = -1 && F2 key pressed
do code
endif
but doesnt matter for me bcos the keypress-event is not triggered when pressing F2 key (except when u go in debug mode)
I have a problem with using the function key F2 in the keypress event. F3 to F12 is working normally.
the keypress event is not trapping this key F2, execpt when i go first in debugging mode.
i can use instead ON KEY LABEL F2 but this command i can only use outside the form.
So i can first...
I learned VFP from the book 'FUNDAMENTALS'. The bible of VFP :) very good book to learn VFP.
Maybe a good idea when the fundamentals will be rewritten in a VFP 9 percpective.
And the videos from garfield hudson are very good to learn programming vfp too.
For me also good to learn some...
there is hope, when u see that almost 2500 (mostly developers) are giving support to the fox via this petition:
http://www.masfoxpro.com/Especial:Firmas/action%3Dlist
they ask MS to support the development or maintenance from the FOX
- via MS. OR
- via 3rd party,
- or make it open source
and...
My thoughts.
I will use foxpro for many years, bcos its a mature product to me.
And bcos i consider the developer as the key factor in developing software, i will manage with the fox for a long time.
Besides, even if i want to jump to vb.net or c#.net, nobody will guarantee if MS will not...
U will find a great help with the book 'THE FUNDAMENTALS: building visual studio Applications on a Visual foxpro 6.0 foundation' from Whil Hentzen. Absolutely a must for u, i think.
And to answer ur question:
U can never use 'do method' as u were used to 'do procedure'
U must learn now to use...
we have recently started to support our website with foxpro, and using the following tools:
- iis 6 webserver
- foxisapi , a dll which produces 3 parameters from the
user on the web and asks from vfp a html string back to
publish
- vfp to produce com servers (dll or exe) to handle the 3...
I would recommend also the 'hackers guide to visual foxpro 7.0'.
Not only for the book, but especailly the chm-helpfile u can dowlnload with this book, is very very usefull.
What exactly is your aim here? If you main concern is to learn how to do web development, then you should explore all the options that we have suggested.
exactly Mike, i start digging
If you are planning to write this yourelf, be prepared for a lot of learning time.
You might be better buying an off-the-shelf e-commerce package, which you can customise for your particular needs.
Mike,
these standard commercial packages are the reason, i started programming :)
