msgbox function

[twhewell]

I've been using VB for a number of years and thought of trying out foxpro as I used to develop in Clipper many moons ago. I find the msgbox function in VB is fundamental to good user interactive database discipline. "Are you sure you want to delete this record" etc..... Unfortunately, I can't find any way to achieve this in Foxpro apart from creating a model form and returning the yes,no,cancel,ok values. And the wait window function is not good enough.
Any ideas ? [sig][/sig]

My money says Twhewell's next question will be: &quot;Is there an InputBox() function in VFP?&quot;

Twhewell,
Congratulations on entering the VFP realm. I, too, am a VB convert. FWIW, hang in there. It took me a few months before I realized how much more superior VFP is than VB and before I quit making those &quot;How would I do this in VB&quot; assesments, as well.

OT... Speaking of VB. Has anybody played with C#... It is pretty neato torpeado. Me thinks it is intended to replace VB in coming years.

PS I too began w/ VB, but would never go back to it now. [sig]<p> Pete<br><a href=mailto:blindpete@mail.com>blindpete@mail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>What your mother told you is true! You will go blind! (from moonshine anyway)[/sig]

Pete, have you seen C#? From what I can tell from the MS Web site, it isn't available yet. If it is publicly available, at least in beta form, could you provide me a link?

Thanks. [sig]<p>Robert Bradley<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

Sure, I want to look to C# too...

No I haven't actually gotten around to downloading it. I read about in infoworld last week. The artical is well worth a read.

It is still in PRE-Beta and Microsoft does not own the standard. Check it out at
