Virtual Fox Fest 2020: Procrastinators Unite and Register Today
by Rick Schummer 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Only a couple of weeks until day 1 of the conference... We know there are procrastinators who have not registered and have good intentions to do so before the conference starts. Please, please, please do so sooner than later. Our hard-working registration staff of one is also a presenter who is practicing and refining his session, and an organizer, and has more than a full-time job working on customer projects. If you all wait until the week of the conference to register, let's just say you might not get the credentials in time to see the first session on October 15th. It literally takes minutes to register. We don't want you to miss all the details about the conference we are sharing over the next couple of weeks. We want you to have a chance to read white papers and download the examples once we release them before the conference starts. We'd hate to see you miss the opportunity to get a head start on all the goodies. Go get registered! Now, really, don't waste another minute. Here is the link: http://geekgatherings.com/Registration Virtual Fox Fest is October 15, 21, and 27, 2020! Rick White Light Computing, Inc. www.whitelightcomputing.com 586.254.2530 - office

[NF] Thunderbolt & VGA
by Frank Cazabon 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

I know there are some knowledgeable hardware people around here. Hope someone can clear something up for me. I've got a new laptop with a Thunderbolt 3 (USB type C 3.1 Gen 2) port (the manufacturer says: The Thunderbolt 3/USB type C port for the Element has support for DisplayPort(DP) connections), an old AOC LCD VGA monitor and bought an adapter so that I could connect this monitor. However the laptop does not detect the monitor. The adapter is Type C 2 in 1 HDMI+VGA adapter that says it's compatible with Laptops with USB-C output. The Amazon link for the adapter says: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PCKQWCX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00… Wide Compatibility】2018/17/16 New MacBook Pro, New MacBook Air, MacBook 12, 2018 New iPad Pro 11/12.9, 2018/17 iMac/Pro, Dell XPS 13, Surface Book 2, Samsung Galaxy S8/S9/Plus/Note 8/9, HUAWEI Mate 10 / Mate 10 Pro / P20 / P20 Pro Pixelbook, Chromebook, Intel NUC, HP, Acer, Lenovo and many others *with USB-C DP ALT Mode* (See Product Description) Shouldn't this work? Is there something I am missing? -- Frank. Frank Cazabon --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

As with any CPU faster is always better. That's about it. What's important is whether VFP runs on a given version of Windows. This is a single-threaded, 32-bit Windows executable and associated DLLs. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm [excessive quoting removed by server]

VFP Apps/DBFs with AMD Processor
by Philip Borkholder 17 Sep '20

17 Sep '20

Hello all, Not much activity lately. I searched the Archives for this issue but didn't find clarity. In past years I always heard it's best to have Intel processors on workstations when using VFP apps. Have any of you had any problems using AMD processors and Windows 10 with VFP apps? Any version of AMD processor a better choice? Thanks, Philip Borkholder Vicksburg, MI

VFP application on client invoking class from EXE on server
by MB Software Solutions, LLC 11 Sep '20

11 Sep '20

VFP9SP2 Win10 clients, Win 2K12R2 Server If MyClientApp.exe on the client creates an instance of a class from a VFP EXE on the Server, and that MyServer.Exe has code that reads configuration values from an INI file there on the server, I'm wondering if it will function properly. I don't have the setup to quickly test that theory so I thought I'd ask here. MyServer.exe is usually always run on the Server. It uses a SETTINGS.INI file to determine where the data is located as well as other property values set at run time. This client has a VFP app that runs on everybody's virtual space and I want to hook into an existing class from MyServer.exe but don't want to copy the code to the other app. Ideas/comments/suggestions? tia! --Mike -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hi Mike, you start the main exe on your local PC. It runs in the RAMspace of your local PC. It doesn't matter where you're going to fetch the sourcecode, modules or classes from. VFP doesn't care if it was stored on a local disk C:, D: or a remote disk called \\server\SomeStuff\. All it knows: I'm running on this PC, therefor it will read your ini on your local PC. It would be different if you'd run a DCOM component on that server via CreateObjectX(), because that instance would get started on the server, and you would get a remote objectreference. wOOdy -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox <profox-bounces(a)leafe.com> Im Auftrag von MB Software Solutions, LLC Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.
