Vis FoxPro 6 - sample code for forms 4

[Phil Thoms]

Hello, I have recently migrated from old FoxPro to VFP 6.0 and would like to find sample code for forms to get some idea of handling events. I do not have any documentation to help. Thanks.

There's no documentation for VFP 6 there but VFP 7 is very close and it should help to get you started.

if you want some guidelines as to how to work in Visual Foxpro you might want to look over the free tutorial videos at:

Basically VFP 6 through 9 handle forms the same. 7 and 9 have some extentions. Also, code is generally less important then properties and methods. A fox screen is a lot like a VB6 screen. A lot of the code behind is very similar, too

Unlike VB the code is kept in a memo field in a table.

Another style is to build the form in code. I think you can do this in VB, too. Particularly if you are new I wouldn't recommend this.

You might check out the books at

They cover a wide range of VFP topic.
