Code References - Opening .asp files with Modify Command rather than notepad? 1

[GriffMG]

I use the VFP IDE, because I love it, to maintain classic asp files as well as VFP projects.

One of the reasons is because I rather like the Code References, it's good for searching.

Only snag is, unlike VFP files, if I double click on a asp code file in the Code References it is opened in Notepad, rather than Modify Command
as I would like it to be.

I can get it to open in VFP, but it starts a new copy of it and that's not what I want.

It was the thread about a mysterious clock.bmp that prompted me to ask - does anyone know how to get the code references to use MODI COMM?

I'm trying to cut down on the use of shrieks (exclamation marks), I'm told they are !good for you. ​

Griff,

GoSearch4 version 5 is MUCH faster and more elaborate than Code Reference for searching an object/text/or method than codererefence.

Griff,

I wonder if you could go into Folder Options / File Types (from within Windows Explorer) and reset the Edit type for ASP files to VFP. I haven't tried this myself, but it might be worth trying. But presumably it will open the file in a new instance of VFP, which is probably not what you want.

The only other thing I can suggest is to look in XSource to see if the source code for FOXREF.APP is present. If so, you might be able to modify it. You could then compile it to an APP with a different name, and set the _FOXREF system variable to point to that app.

Both of the above are a bit of a long shot. Maybe someone else can come up with a better solution.

Maybe, but I'm a luddite and like working in the IDE if possible.

Hi Mike

The source is there, and I am looking at it now, but I thought maybe someone else has done this B-)

I have tried making .asp open in VFP, but it is clumsy, opens a new copy of VFP and throws an error because it doesn't understand the syntax.
Which is odd, because I have the .asp files in a project under the code collection and modify there opens it perfectly

Ah ha!

It was easier to *FIND* than I expected, and it *LOOKS* like all I need do is add an m.cFileType == "ASP" to a program.

Here goes nothing.

Worked perfectly first go.

Thank you Mike for the little push.

In case anyone else is interested, you are looking for the OpenSource function in the FoxRefEngine.prg

And Change

						CASE m.cFileType == "PRG" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "MPR" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "QPR" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "SPR" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "H" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "FRX" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "LBX" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "MNX" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "TXT" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "LOG" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "ME"

to

						CASE m.cFileType == "PRG" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "MPR" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "QPR" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "SPR" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "H" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "FRX" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "LBX" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "MNX" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "TXT" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "LOG" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "ASP" OR ;
						     m.cFileType == "ME"

Then rebuild the app, and rename the old one to FoxRefOld.app and pop your new one in place of it.

Well, first of all text files are opened by MODIFY FILE.

The Code References Sources are indeed in xsrouce.zip as a foxref.pjx project and it uses the EDITSOURCE() function, that has different parameterizations for SCX,VCX, DBF, DBC, PRG etc.

You could indeed add the ASP file extension there for the PRG lieke file case.

Where? Simply use code references and search for EDITSOURCE in the foxref.pjx amd you'll find that

Bye, Olaf.
