Get Method Issue with Hidden Property
by Ken Dibble 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

VFP 9 SP 1, running on Win 7 Ultimate SP 1. I know that there can be issues with hidden object properties; that's why I give the base class "Set" and "Get" methods to deal with them. That's always supposed to work, right? So today somebody's software blew up on the "Get" method for a Shape object: This is in my resize code (I created this long before VFP had Anchors, and I haven't bothered to change it; the cause of the problem is not that I'm not using Anchors, and the correct solution for the actual problem cannot be to ditch my code and use Anchors instead, even though some people may suggest that.) This seems to have happened because of some bizarre anomaly where a user was previewing a report using the standard VFP report preview window. That report was called from a window that was opened by another window, both of which are In-Desktop windows inside my custom-made main window (I don't use _SCREEN). She closed the preview window, whereupon a shape that is ON THE MAIN WINDOW, not on the window that should have gotten focus, somehow executed its Resize() method--so she probably nudged the border of the main window somehow while playing with the report preview. My shape subclass did this: thepercent = THIS.ObtainAValue("PercentWidth") * PercentWidth is a hidden property of the baseclass. The baseclass code is this: PROCEDURE ObtainAValue LPARAMETERS cTheProperty IF PEMSTATUS(THIS,cTheProperty,5) = .T. * Property exists; the IF statement just said so... RETURN THIS.&cTheProperty && Error 1734 "Property PERCENTWIDTH is not found" ELSE RETURN 0 ENDIF ENDPROC That's all of the code involved; I'm not leaving anything out. I can't reproduce this myself. Needless to say, various users have resized their various forms bazillions of times, thereby running this code bazillions of times *times* the number of times Resize() gets called when you're messing with the borders of a form, without having this happen. This is the kind of stuff that just irks me. I've seen it before; built-in VFP functions just flat-out lie, leaving my code with nothing to trust--but it only happens once in a blue moon. Any thoughts (other than "Use anchors instead"?) Thanks. Ken Dibble www.stic-cil.org

ActiveX control refuses to register
by Tracy Pearson 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

I have some client workstation that refuse to register an ActiveX control I use in my VFP app. Even manually typing the RegSvr32 command. The message that appears states it registered successfully. However, the Registry is never updated. What ideas can I use to track down this problem? Thank you, Tracy

FoxBin2Prg v1.19.51 released (total binary support!:)
by Fernando D. Bozzo 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Hi guys! Just want to share this with you, for those that know or use this two-way converter for Visual FoxPro 9 binaries. With this version I finally have the total support for VFP9 binaries, being the macros file (fky) and memory variables file (mem) the latest two supported. I know that almost nobody use these two files, but I did it just because the technical chalenge and to feel that now is complete, nothing left out. For those that want to know the complete list of features added, this is the GitHub Wiki log of the project, so you can find easily the rest of the docs and the download section too: https://github.com/fdbozzo/foxbin2prg/wiki/FoxBin2Prg-Full-Change-History Thanks to all that did contribute to this project reporting issues, debating ideas for new features or fixing bugs. It is a great experience to work on an Open Source project like this with the great feedback that did occur over the years. Now the project is mainly in support mode, to fix some bugs that could appear. Thank you :-) Fernando D.

Anyone remember this?
by Fletcher Johnson 25 Mar '18

Hi all, I was digging through some boxes and saw this shirt.. Too bad it no longer applies, that was a good decade.. J For those of you who don't get it, at one Devcon, a number of us realized that we were all turning 40 the same year. Which means that many of us are probably turning 60 this year.. Anyway, it's good to see all the chatter still going on this list!

SET ANSI OFF via the VFPOLEDB driver
by Fred Taylor 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

Does anybody know how to change the ANSI setting for the VFPOLEDB driver from .NET?. An ADO connection object can set the properties (oConn.Properties.Items("set ansi").Value) in VFP code, but the OLEDB connection object in .NET doesn't seem to allow access to these properties. Any Ideas? Fred --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
