VFPx Project Explorer and git
by Tracy Pearson 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Hello Everyone, Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a plentiful amount of goodness this year. I am currently in the process of assessing of moving our 20 some odd projects away from Visual SourceSafe (VSS) and Team Foundation Server 2010 (TFS) in to a central repository using git. On VFPx there is the Project Explorer which has the ability to work with git as the source control. I watched a youtube of Doug Hennig presenting this. What I didn't catch was if there was built in ability to get latest from the central repository and merge it with the local copy, prior to sending to the central repository. Is anyone using this project with git that could me clarify that? I'm wanting to get some best practices in to place before starting any conversions. Thank you, Tracy

Initialising in a Class
by Gene Wirchenko 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Hello: I have been experimenting with the Shape control. One of the things that I wanted to do want to have one shape have the same colour as the form's BackColor. This led to define class ... * No procedure or function statement here! BackColor=ThisForm.BackColor but VFP does not like this. Apparently, there is some limitation to the expression being evaluable at compile-time. I had to create an Init to do the initialisation. Or am I missing something? What are the limitations to the initialisation expression? Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

VFP: Using ODBC to connect to a VFP Table...
by Desmond Lloyd 24 Dec '18

24 Dec '18

Would someone mind answering this question please.... my company is trying to automate the removal of users from a variety of systems. For our old VFP app I have pointed them in the direction of using the ODBC Drivers to accomplish this... Essentially all they have to do is open a table, and either modify or delete the users record.... Would someone please let me know how that might be setup? As you can tell I have very little experience with ODBC... TIA/Happy Holiday!

T'was The Night [NF]
by Ted Roche 24 Dec '18

24 Dec '18

Twas the night before crisis, and all through the house, Not a program was working, not even a browse. The programmers were wrung out, too mindless to care, Knowing chances of shipping hadn't a prayer. The users were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of inquiries danced in their heads. When out in the lobby there arose such a clatter, That I sprang from my cube to see what was the matter. And what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a SUPER PROGRAMMER, oblivious to fear. More rapid than eagles, his programs they came, And he whistled and shouted and called them by name: On Update! On Add! On Inquiry! On Delete! On Batch Jobs! On Closing! On Functions Complete! His eyes were glazed over, his fingers were lean, >From weekends and nights in front of the screen. A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, Turning specs into code, then he turned with a jerk. And laying his finger on the ENTER key, The system came up, and worked perfectly. The updates, updated; the deletes, they deleted; The inquiries, inquired; and the closing completed. He tested each whistle, he tested each bell, With nary an abend, and all had gone well. The system was finished, the tests were concluded, The client's last changes were even included! And the client exclaimed with a snarl and a taunt, "It's just what I asked for, but NOT what I want…" (attributed variously, my copy came from Profox Archives, before that from http://www.mdarwin.ca/humour/night-before-xmas/night-before-crisis.phtml) Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night! Wishing all a joyous holiday season, an airing of the grievances for those so inclined, and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

[NF] Happy Holidays To Everyone!
by Paul H. Tarver 22 Dec '18

22 Dec '18

I may not get another chance to post this between now and Christmas as I will be traveling to be with family later today, but I wanted to wish everyone in the ProFox Group Happy Holidays! My life is better for having gotten to know all of you in terms of sharing our love and interest in FoxPro! Your assistance when I needed it has been greatly appreciated even if I didn't say so at the time and I resolve to do a better job of that better next year! The tips I find in the answers to the questions from others are like gold and I feel no matter how much I learn about FoxPro, this group continues to teach me something new almost every day. I just wish I had time to take advantage of all of the cool stuff y'all share with the group! Seriously, whatever Holiday you are celebrating this time of year, I hope you and yours enjoy the best the season has to offer! Thanks to everyone who contributes their time and knowledge to make this one of the best programming groups I've ever been associated with! I will return the favor every chance I get! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to each of you! Paul H.
