Well that's interesting. Same major number as 10. What does OS(1) give you?

Handling multipile Container classes
by Joe Yoder 16 Jul '24

16 Jul '24

First of all - Thanks very much for all the help in my quest to really understand classes. I am finally at the place that I can make a change and expect it to work. BTW = I was able to run the code version of my class and find my issues. I will have multiple instances of a container class on a form. All the containers will be disabled until clicked on. How do I make sure all other instances are set to disabled when a click in one instance is detected? Can this be done in the container class or do I need to add a form method? Can this happen automatically when an instance of the class is added to a form? Thanks in advance, Joe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Southwest Fox 2024: in-person, in jeopardy
by Rick Schummer 16 Jul '24

16 Jul '24

We really want to have an in-person conference. We love the chance to see members of our community face-to-face and interact both during conference hours and outside them. If that matters to you, we need you to show up this year. Without at least 15 more in-person registrations by July 26, we will have to switch to an all-virtual conference, and we won't be planning any future in-person events. For those signed up for the in-person conference, do not make plane reservations until we announce the decision for the in-person conference, which we expect to make soon after July 26th. We extended the Super-Saver rate through the end-of-the-day Tuesday, July 9, 2024 as an added incentive. The conference takes place September 26-29, 2024 in Scottsdale, Arizona and we really hope you can be there. Head over to the registration Web site today: https://geekgatherings.com/Registration Contact Us: * Interested in being a sponsor? Contact our sponsor representative: sponsors(a)geekgatherings.com * If you have ideas or suggestions for this year's Southwest Fox, please email them to: info(a)geekgatherings.com * If you have a friend who wants to be on our mailing list, please tell them to go to the conference home page and sign up https://swfox.net. * Call: 586.254.2530 Rick White Light Computing, Inc.

Windows Server
by Rafael Copquin 12 Jul '24

12 Jul '24

Hello. One of my clients will be changing* this weekend* their server to either Window Server 2019 or WS 2023 Will Visual FoxPro still work in either of the two? They did not give me any advance warning (grrrr) To clarify, this is a very old system that uses dbf's. I located the dbfs in a windows server folder back in 2012 and each computer in the LAN has its own compiled version (exe) of the main program and each of them accesses the dbf's. The real question then is whether it will be possible for the individual PC's to access the dbf's located in a folder in either the WS 2019 or WS 2023 Please reply ASAP Thanks in advance Rafael Copquin <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Libre de virus.www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#m_-784474937806689156_DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Class code issue
by Joe Yoder 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

I am developed a custom class based on a container that worked properly when it was on a form but when I converted it to a class I have issues I can't resolve. I have only one installation of VFP and sometimes I wonder if it might be corrupt. In order to avoid any corruption of the visual tools I have attempted to come up with a small .prg program that creates a form, defines a custom class in code, and puts an instance of the class on the form. ,The following code was written by Microsoft's CoPilot but the author has not been able to make it work! The problem seems to be that the definition code needs to reference the class before it is instantiated. * Create a blank form loMyForm = CREATEOBJECT("Form") MESSAGEBOX("Form created successfully") * Create an instance of your spotpick1 class loSpotPick1 = CREATEOBJECT("spotpick1") MESSAGEBOX("Class created successfully") * Add the spotpick1 to the form loMyForm.AddObject("SpotPick1", loSpotPick1) * Show the form loMyForm.Show() RETURN DEFINE CLASS spotpick1 AS container PROCEDURE Init * Add your custom logic here (e.g., create controls, set properties) THIS.AddControls() ENDPROC PROCEDURE AddControls LOCAL oTextbox1, oTextbox2 oTextbox1 = CREATEOBJECT("TextBox") oTextbox2 = CREATEOBJECT("TextBox") oTextbox1.Value = "Hello from TextBox 1" oTextbox2.Value = "Hello from TextBox 2" THIS.AddObject("Textbox1", oTextbox1) && Errors here THIS.AddObject("Textbox2", oTextbox2) && Errors here ENDPROC ENDDEFINE Thanks in advance for any help!

Form designer to first time use of class designer
by Joe Yoder 04 Jul '24

04 Jul '24

I have just completed developing a form with a container that has embedded controls. I want to convert the container to a class so I can use multiple instances on a form. I spent a good bit of time getting things to look and work right in the container on the form designer with the understanding that I can simply bring it into the class designer when I have the bugs out. Now it appears that I need to build the class one control at a time. Is this correct? Are there shortcuts I should be aware of? Would I have been better off developing in code to avoid duplicating effort when moving to class designer? Thanks in advance for your help , Joe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
