Best way to have multiple projects open simultaneously?
by Joe Yoder 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

I have code in several projects that I want to drop into a new one. I assume there is a way to have multiple VFP projects open at the same time, Multiple instances of foxpro? Somehow with a single instance? Also - I have a two monitor setup - is there a way to have each project on a separate monitor? Thanks in advance, Joe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

I play this casual Puzzle game on my PC to relax at times. And, last night I stumbled one a puzzle of Foxes. This pic was GREAT - and I figured I should share it here. I edited the image to give proper attributions: http://imgur.com/SU3fkOn L8r, -K-

Using the when event in a command button
by Joe Yoder 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

I have a command button on a form that should not be accessible unless there is a table selected. I am attempting to use a expression that will evaluate to false in the WHEN event when no table is selected: NOT EMPTY(thisform.combo1.Value) The message I get is "Error in line 7 of Form1.Command1.When (record 7): Unrecognized command verb." Even with a .f. as the expression I get the same message. Am I giving the fox something she doesn't like or am I working with some bad assumption?

Re: Subclassed Methods Not Getting Executed

I'm sorry, this is Visual FoxPro and I *assumed* through lack of evidence to the contrary, that you were using *Visual* classes. It was a poor assumption, since I have followed your postings here for a decade or two, and now I recall you're a PRG-class guy, but keeping track of how everyone here chooses to code, which frameworks they use (or insist they don't need) is a bit tiresome. I could ask nineteen more questions, but... The fact that you included "subclassed" in your title indicates you feel that is important. I should be able to read between the lines and interpret why you emphasize that. Visual classes was my first guess. My second would be that "the code that isn't running" is inside of a container, and it was the entire *container* that was subclassed and not just the object whose code isn't running. Drew Speedie wrote up an excellent article nearly 20 years ago on the problems with subclassing containers, which Steven Black references here: http://stevenblack.com/articles/managing-vfp-class-libraries/ I'm not having luck finding the original article online. Drew also included it in the notes in his Visual Maxframe framework, and may have published it as speaker notes from a conference or two. If this sounds like it might be applicable, and you can't find the article, contact me off-list and I'll help you find one. If not, I've got eighteen more guesses...

Check you are actually pointing to the code (.prg) location that you think you are in code!! Many times I have found VFP picking up programs of the same name in different locations because my set path was screwed.

This approach has been working for years. It is very puzzling that the subclass code is not running. And because it is not running, I have nowhere to attach a set step on to. Except possibly the parent class to see if those methods are executing, but that still will not tell what is going on. Very puzzling. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko [excessive quoting removed by server]

[NF] Samba Subfolder Permissions
by Ken Dibble 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

I have a Linux file server. I am using SAMBA 3 as a domain controller. I want to set up SAMBA shares on the file server that do not have to be accessed from Windows machines via either UNC notation or by separate mapped drives. Instead, I want to have a share on the Linux server called Public that is accessible to all network users from any Windows machine. Within that share I want all users to be able to open, edit, and create any files or folders, EXCEPT certain specific folders. For certain specific folders within the Public share, I want access controlled by a SAMBA valid users list, with the user names validated by the domain controller. In other words: /Public/ (any Windows user can see it, put things into it, etc.) Folder 1 (anybody can see it and open it and do anything inside it.) Folder 2 (anybody... ditto...) Folder 3 (access restricted to valid users) Folder 4 (anybody can ... etc.) Folder 5 (access restricted to valid users) I've tried a number of things, none of which work. Right now there's a share on the server called /data/. The only SAMBA command for that share is: writeable = yes All of the shares that people actually interact with are inside /data/. They all have permissions set as 777 for root, group, and Others in Nautilus. Some of them also have SAMBA valid users lists, which effectively override the file system permissions, UNLESS I put the share inside one of the other shares, in this case, /Public/. There isn't anything unusual about /Public/ compared to the other shares as regards either file system permissions or SAMBA commands. If I create a share called /Foo/ inside /Public/ and apply a valid users list, then if somebody not on the list on a Windows machine issues \\SERVER\Foo, they are asked for credentials. However, if they issue \\SERVER\Public, then try to open \Foo from there, they are allowed in. I also don't fully understand the force create mode and force directory mode commands, or the create mask command, so any help in showing how those things can affect his would be great. I don't want to do veto files; it hides the folder and again requires either UNC or mapped drive access. I tried to use dont descend but I can't seem to make it work at all. I realize that the Windows and Linux file systems are both implicated here, and they behave differently with regard to permissions, but it just seems to me that this is such a simple thing that there has to be a way to make it work. This situation cannot be affected by setting folder permissions in Windows, I either get "access denied" (for folders created in Linux), or Windows appears to let me make changes but they don't have any effect (for folders created on the Linux server from Windows). To summarize: The way it is today: /data/ /data/Public/ (UNC or mapping required; no valid user list; anybody can see and get into) /data/Another Share/ (UNC or mapping required; valid domain user list controls access) /data/Third Share/ (UNC or mapping required; different valid domain user list controls access) /data/Public/Some Share/ (even though there's a valid user list, any users coming through /Public/ can get in; users not on the list coming directly through a UNC or mapped drive cannot) The way I want it is: /data/ /data/Public/ (UNC or mapping required; no valid user list; anybody can see and get into) /data/Public/Another Share/ (Once in Public, valid domain user list controls access) /data/Public/Third Share/ (Once in Public, different valid domain user list controls access) /data/Public/Anything Else (Once in Public, anybody can see and get into) I want to continue to use the domain to validate credentials, I don't want to have to create separate user accounts and access groups on the file server. Thanks for any suggestions. Ken Dibble www.stic-cil.org
