FoxBin2Prg Form.Property = "" becomes .F.
by Tracy Pearson 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

I have just recently started to use FoxBin2Prg to store my VCX and SCX files as text versions in Git. Some of my forms have properties set to a have nothing in it. VFP displays this as "(none)". When I use FoxBin2Prg to put this particular form in to the SC2 form, the back to the SCX form this property becomes a .F. Just putting this out there for those that might use this tool. Tracy

RE: So, about this VFPA thing...
by Jürgen Wondzinski 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Just to be clear: There are TWO versions of VFPA ("A" like the Hex notation of "10") a) the patched version of your existing VFP9 installation. This implies that it's stil a 23Bit version. This is the version you most probably want to use immediately. Download the 32Bit on the bottom of: http://baiyujia.com/vfpadvanced/f_vfpa_about.asp It needs a current VFP9 installation with SP2, and then creates a new directory with a patched new VFP9.exe and also copies all of the other files of your VFP9 source directory. Thus, after installation you just rename the old VFP9 directory to something different, and rename the new directory to the original name, and all your Registrykeys and Links will work without interruption. b) a new VFP10 err... VFPA compiler for 64 bit executables. Stil with some compatibility problems, and I'm not sure if I would ever need it, but: http://baiyujia.com/vfpadvanced/f_vfpa_gotovfpa64.asp -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox <profox-bounces(a)leafe.com> Im Auftrag von Vince Teachout Gesendet: Samstag, 23. November 2019 04:43 An: ProFox Email List <profox(a)leafe.com> Betreff: So, about this VFPA thing... Apparently, I've been under a rock, and there's a magically enhanced VFP9 SP2 that fixes some bugs, can run concurrently with vfp9, and supports 64 bits. Before I download something, am I on the right site: http://baiyujia.com/vfpadvanced/f_vfpa_about.asp ? Thanks! [excessive quoting removed by server]

Looking for a "side by side" editor for PRGs
by Paul Newton 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Hi all (Happy New Year) I have two PRGs with about 60 differences between them. I am looking for an editor that will allow me to view and edit them side by side. I have CodeCompare but I can't seem to get on with it and I don't have time to get to grips with it. Basically I want a one way copy-and-paste facility (copy from one file, paste into the other). If it highlighted differences that would be a bonus but not absolutely essential. All suggestions most welcome.

Today's etude
by Eric Selje 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

Today in another trivia board I'm on, there was this math question: "Identify a multi-digit number such that when each digit is raised to the power of itself, and the result of each of those is added together you get the original number." eg: 274 = (2 ^ 2) + (7 ^ 7) + (4 ^ 4) We were given the hint that it's 4 digits, which was helpful. I quickly wrote this FoxPro script to figure it out for me: [image: image.png] But then I thought, I should really figure out how to do this in Python if I'm ever really going to learn. I've run through a few online tutorials, but I still had to google how to do for loops, how to convert integers into strings and then parse that string, how exponentiation worked, even how if statements work. Finally got it to this. [image: image.png] Just sharing this extremely simple example in case anyone's interested. But glad I went through the exercise.

[NF] Blazor from Microsoft
by MB Software Solutions, LLC 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Just saw a mention of Blazor today in a Code Magazine email ad. Never heard of it. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blazor Anybody heard of it and can comment their thoughts on it? Is it better than using JavaScript? That's the first impression I get that they're saying from their marketing.
