web services

[lclock]

hi, i've a large solution compiled with vfp6.
Now i need to use web service from it.
Some questions :
1) from wich version can i use (consume) web services
2) can i call from vfp6 exe some fxp compiled with vfp8 (dll provided)
3) my application is compiled with vfp6 but still use for the form istructions like
----------
define window "GES_ANA" at i_pv,at_x(14) size at_y(405,"Arial",9*4/3,"")+i_ay,at_x(743,"Arial",9*4/3,"");
font "Arial",9*4/3;
title "Anagrafica";
float close grow minimize icon file "anag.ico";
color &w_t_col003,,&w_t_col003,&w_t_col002,&w_t_col002,,,,&w_t_col003,&w_t_col003
--------
that are generated by a case tool.
If i recompile the application with vfp8, the froms are first correctly painted, but when i click into with the mouse all labels disappear, and only reapper, if the page has more than one tab, when i click on the other tab.
Any ideas ?
Thank's

Any version. But it's a lot easier with 7.0 and above, because you can use Intellisense to generate most of the code.

Yes, but you'd need the 8.0 runtimes to be installed.

This might be because of themes settings. Try _SCREEN.Themes = .F. at the start of your main program.

Hope this helps. Another time, it might be better if you post each question in a separate thread, and give each one a title that relates the question. That will help other people find them.

thank you Mike, i've tested the setting you suggest and with themes turned on my old application works well also compiled with vfp8.
Sorry, next time i'll start three different post, you're right !
