Google API for Geocoding ... Again
by Dave Crozier 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

Fellow Gentlemen, I posted a request about doing geocoding requests to receive back a Lat/Long dataset for various addresses a few weeks ago and now find that Google do in fact provide a Geocoding service: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start The responses back from the requests are all JSON from a Java Script API run by Google. I have looked over Rick's Westwind site to try and get a start on using this method to get back a JSON response but seem to be getting nowhere fast. Anyone got any ideas on a simple & neat way of retrieving this data back using VFP programmatically? Either that or anyone know a free Geocoding site that would handle up to 100 name and address calls per day ideally by sending a text file and receiving one back which could be automated from the VFP end. Never even looked at Web services in anger before so it all seems a little baffling and terribly long winded at the moment unless I am missing something obvious. Note I don't want to have to drop into an intermediate program/language to accomplish this, if possible. Dave

It was received without a Message-ID: header, which means that the link in the footer doesn't work. Oh, all I did was copy the Subject line and the quoted text from the archive, inserting greater-thans as appropriate, then sent a fresh message to ProFox. More effort than it takes to hit "Reply" in an email client (which is currently not an option for me), but not that much more, actually... Ken

I had a similar but reverse case twice with my ISP (two different ones) botching their USENET setup so that my posts did not make it out though I saw other people's posts. Being covertly shut out is not nice. >In the meantime I'm reading the list in the archives. You just can not leafe this list alone. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

[NF] Form Controls Toolbar
by John Weller 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

I have just bought a new Win10 computer and installed VFP9. I originally sub-classed the standard controls and added some customised ones into a new class library when I installed VFP for the first time. I exported the registry entries for VFP from the old computer and imported them into the registry on the new one. They show up in the Options dialogue correctly but when I select the Form Controls toolbar it shows the standard controls instead of my sub-classed versions. I know I can make it show the sub-classed ones as that is what I had in the past but I can’t remember how I did it ☹ Also, how do I tell VFP to use the VFPX (I think) version of Help?

Folks, Thanks to those who responded. This pretty clearly seems to be a case of my email provider suddenly blocking everything coming from leafe.com. Ed contacted me directly and I am trying to follow up with the email provider. In the meantime I'm reading the list in the archives. Ken Dibble www.stic-cil.org
