Burn data to CD from within FoxPro

[prangster]

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

Anything is possible. I'm sure it'd depend on the installed software and/or OS.

You can probably write a wrapper for XP's API.

It means that you're 32x32 pixels.

You could always try using the media player control or the multi-media control.
Add them into your 'Controls' and see if they will work for you.

1. iconic -- (relating to or having the characteristics on an icon)

That does sound too bad to me.

Some additional ideas (from Ed Leafe's Profox mailing list at

http://www.leafe.com)

... these are snippets from recent threads - I have not tried either of these techniques:

1) If they are on XP/2003 you can get a free ActiveX control here (

http://www.bayden.com/delphi/cdburner.htm)

which wraps the built-in XP CD burning functionality.

2) On XP, the following code block can be used to stage files for burning to CD. I don't have code that actually initiates the burn. Anyone have any ideas? (My limited understanding of this topic is that the shell.application object can be controlled with OLE verbs?)

cFile = getfile()
local oShell, oFolder
oShell = createobject("shell.application")
oFolder = oShell.BrowseForFolder(0,"Select CDR to write to",0,0)
oFolder.CopyHere(cFile)

...

Good luck,
Malcolm

Funny that a computer term would turn out to be a compliment ;-)

I'll write you one for half the price!
