Nulls and generated HTML
by Joe Yoder 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

I have a table deliberately created with null values in numeric fields. This allows browsing the table and seeing zero value fields as blank rather than zero.. i want to print the table and expected to use the HTML generator on the file menu but it turns out that the nulls mess up the formatting of the output. Is there away to have the html generator treat the nulls as blanks? Another non null way to browse a table without zeros in empty numeric fields? Thanks in advance, joe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Breakpoint, click Resume, nothing happens
by Tracy Pearson 16 Sep '22

16 Sep '22

I haven't seen before. I start my debug session with a config-code.fpw. screen=off Resource=off Safety=off Title=KIOSK11-CODE Command=Do ..\pckiosk11.resource\StartUp-Code.prg The StartUp-Code sets a few extra things, opens the debug window and starts the code DEBUG SET ASSERTS ON SET PATH TO SET CENTURY ON DO checkin.prg ON SHUTDOWN QUIT I have a "SET STEP ON" in my code to step through a bit of code. Well, I am unable to step through the code. Resume fails as well. The Cancel button works. When I close the Debugger the _Screen appears. Oh, this is an app that the ShowWindow is set to 2 - As Top-Level Form. Once the Screen appears, I need to type ON SHUTDOWN in the Command window to be able to quit. As I typed all this out. I continued to think of things I should try. So I added a _Screen.Show() just before the DEBUG and I'm able to Resume and stop through my code now. Hope this helps someone in the future. Have fun, see you at Virtual Fox Fest 2022 soon! Tracy

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.
