VFP Code Conversion Workbench
by Man-wai Chang 28 Sep '24

28 Sep '24

I was guided to a VFP video in Youtube about Installshield... Visual FoxPro for 2024: Installing on a New Developer Computer - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoZZuw3ggM8 and then I saw this: Convert Visual FoxPro to C# in 15 Seconds With VFP Code Conversion Workbench - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7sgxd9YbF0 Does this Workbench really work? Could he C# codes be compiled and linked into executable right after conversion? ;) -- .~. Might, Courage, Vision.

Problem With Thor Paste Properties and Method Code
by Paul H. Tarver 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

I'm running into a weird situation on one of my development computers where I'm using Thor with VFP. On this computer when I go to paste copied Properties & Methods, new properties & methods are highlighted with grey and the check boxes are missing on those items. The check boxes appear on items that already exist, but are missing on new items. Is there a way to reset the copy & paste feature or some other method to fix this issue? Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing: https://snipboard.io/B3D7Ew.jpg Paul H.

FoxPro Conf Binder
by Kurt Wendt 19 Sep '24

Hey there folks, I know - I haven't posted in quite some time. And, I see the forum has been RATHER Quiet lately! I was going thru some stuff of mine, and I stumbled upon something - which I figured folks here might find interesting. I suspect it will REALLY Only be of value to those who are really HUGE Fans of FoxPro. So - what did I find? Great Question! It was the Binder of printed material from the 1989 Fox Dev Conf - which was the Unveiling of FoxPro for DOS. I did indeed attend that conference in Toledo, Ohio! Here is a link where I have uploaded a set of pics, including front cover of the Binder, an Intro letter from Dr. Fulton, a Flyer from Tom Rettig (yup, I got to meet him in person) - and, lastly - a sample page showing some FoxPro for DOS UI examples: https://imgur.com/a/ejfZjjS I bet there has to be someone who might truly Covet this conference Binder more than me. Maybe I should post about it on the web - even put it up for sale on EBay (or even auction it off). But, I really don't know... Anyway - I wanted to share it here 1st!

FoxPro Work???
by Kurt Wendt 18 Sep '24

18 Sep '24

Yeah - I know it's GOT to be a Strange question to ask. Since M$ killed off FoxPro so VERY MANY Years ago now. At this point, based upon my son's age - I'd say it was about 23-25 years ago! Am I about right? That being said - my last job here in SoCal didn't work out so well. It WAS a 3D Printing job - but, they were screwing me over big time - WAY Underpaying me - and yet Also forcing me to work LONGER house. I was getting a lump sum per month. So, more hours working meant lower and lower equivalent hourly pay. Ugh... AS such, figured I would pop my head up here and see if anyone knew of any possible FoxPro gigs. Since I know there are still some of VFP apps out there in the wild that are still running.
