Need Help - Foxpro & Chilkat & Rest API
by Paul H. Tarver 12 Sep '22

12 Sep '22

I have a spec project where I need to build an application using a REST API to extract data elements and then post those data elements to a different system. The API requires me to get a token upfront (which has a five-minute life span), issue my requests with the token and then get the results back in a JSON or XML format. Based on recommendations I received at the Virtual FoxFest earlier this year, I purchased the Chilkat tools and dove into what has turned out to be the deep end without knowing how to swim. The documentation at Chilkat while extensive is almost too extensive for me to understand exactly what I've got to do to make this work. So far, I've been unable to even get a token back. All I seem to be able to get back from the server is 400 Bad request Your browser sent an invalid request. That response has been less than helpful. I've reached out to the API Provider but their answers are focused on requests issued after I get the token. My question is this: Does anyone have any sample Foxpro code they use for a similar process (Request a token, then make requests with the token) using the Chilkat tools they would be willing to share? A Foxpro wrapper would be too much to hope for, but that would be even better if it is exists. I've got to get to a point where I'm beyond this initial stage to prove I can make this work. Help! I know this is possible, but so far, I'm not making much headway. Paul H.

FoxyPreViewer on high resolution screens
by Dr. Joerg Arand 28 Jul '22

28 Jul '22

Hi all, I have a problem with foxyprewviewer and high resolution screens. IF the scaling of display fonts is set to more then 100%, the report is rendered large than expected and thus often no longer fits into the print area. I think it's a Problem of GDI+ Does anybody have an idea for a Workaround? Greatings Dr. med.

RE: Another GDIPlusX question
by Paul Newton 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Isn't it marvellous how simply posting a question to this esteemed list somehow kicks ones brain into gear ... albeit only after posting StrToFile(STRConv(MyTable.MyImage,14),"Temp.BMP") With _Screen.System.Drawing loBMP = .BitMap.FromFile("Temp.BMP") etc etc EndWith Paul Newton --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Another GDIPlusX question
by Paul Newton 16 Jul '22

16 Jul '22

Hi all I have been creating some bitmaps, saving their PictureVals and later assigning the PictureVal to an Image object: Assuming loBMP has already been created lcPictureVal = StrConv(loBMP.GetPictureValFromHBitmap(),13) Insert Into MyTable Values (lcPictureVal) && MyTable contains a single field called MyImage of type Blob then, later Thisform.Image1.PictureVal = StrConv(MyTable.MyImage, 14). This is all working well but what I want to do now (and so far am unable to) is to create a BMP (xfcBitmap) from the PictureVal stored in MyImage, either directly or somehow indirectly. I am sure this should be possible but at the moment I can't see how.

Last Chapter
by Ken Kixmoeller (ProFox) 15 Jul '22

15 Jul '22

Hi, folks -- Five or so years since retiring, and all "just-in-case" scenarios fully played out, so... The last chapter in my Fox story is imminent. My large cache of FoxPro books is hitting the recycle bin. Long live(d) the Fox! Cheers, Ken --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
