JSON for Visual FoxPro
by Paul Newton 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Hi all This is on Craig Boyd's Sweet Potato Software site (https://tinyurl.com/ybk97s97) but the download link is coming up 404. Any ideas where I can get hold of it? Or alternative VFP options to handle JSON? I have tried the following from various sources (e.g. VFPX, GitHub, CodePlex) : nfJson-master (Marco Plaza), vfpJson-master (Ignacio Gutiérrez Torrero), qdfoxjson (Victor Espina) but none of them can decode JSON strings like this: "{\"code\":\" ERROR\",\"message\":\"Message \",\"errors\":[{\"field1\":\"FIELD\",\"value\":\"VALUE\"}]}" They all appear to stumble because of the additional JSON between the [] brackets. I could StrExtract the string between the [] and decode that separately but I would rather find something that can handle this directly. Failing that I'll have to "roll my own". Thanks Paul Newton

How can you tell the difference programatically between Windows 8 and Windows 10 (from the desktop, not server versions)?

VFP9SP2 According to http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFPFunctionOS, it looks like 8 and 10 return the same values? Windows 7 Windows 6.01 OS(5) returns "7600" AND OS(11) returns "1" Windows 7 SP1 Windows 6.01 OS(5) returns "7601" AND OS(11) returns "1" Windows 8 Dev Preview Windows 6.02 OS(5) returns "8102" AND OS(11) returns "1" Windows 8 (Release) Windows 6.02 OS(5) returns "9200" AND OS(11) returns "1" Windows 8.1 Windows 6.02 OS(5) returns "9200" (why not 9600?) AND OS(11) returns "1" Windows 10 Windows 6.02 OS(5) returns "9200" AND OS(11) returns "1"

[OT] pfSense hardware recommendations?
by Paul Hill 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi All, I've got a budget for a pfSense firewall to replace our aging OpenWRT box (which works surprisingly well for a consumer unit, but it's getting old and low on RAM). Does anyone have any recommendations? Rack mount is available but I'm not too bothered. Our dev team is about 15 people. I need a basic firewall with NAT, the odd bit of port forwarding (we don't host anything) and OpenVPN for maybe 5 clients. WIFI is not needed. WAN is 100 Mbps up/down. I don't need a router for the LAN side. I'm unsure what my best option would be. Some kind of ARM box or a cheap rack mounted server (needs to be FreeBSD compatible of course). -- Paul

CDO Email issues all of the sudden? VFP9SP2 app running for years without issue
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

VFP9SP2 Strange...code that has been working for years using my mbss.bugs(a)gmail.com as the sender now doesn't want to work. Good ol' Error 1429. See screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/Bxe0x4CX I know some of you here use CDO. Did you notice any problems this year? I checked that gmail account and it's using the LESS SECURE mode so 3rd party apps like mine can send email with it. So I'm not sure if this is a GMail problem, a CDO problem, or Mike's laptop environment problem. No real changes in my environment except for using Avast Secure VPN plug-in now, and Avast Secure browser (but surely that's not in play here). Ideas? tia, --Mike

I can see timers giving problems -- thankfully, I do not use them -- but LostFocus? Isn't that just in the normal sequence of events? Why would it give trouble? Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

GetFile() issue
by Dave Crozier 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Hi folks, Just had an issue that has been bugging me for a while and I now why but I haven’t got a solution to hand… so maybe you can help. In lots of places we allow users to export their reports and spreadsheet results onto their own personal “C” drives. And to do this I implement … default folder set in prior coding cOld_Folder = SYS(5) + SYS(2003) set default to <suggested destination folder> cFile = Getfile(……..) set default to (cOld_Folder) This code allows the user to be programmatically placed in the suggested folder to save/open files. Unknown to me after all these years, the set default to command has an effect on the whole of the VFP thread not just the DataSession you are in. Unfortunately for me I have a number of regular timers running that check whether any particular file or process is locked, or the system is available for use i.e. it can sometimes auto log out the user to allow system maintenance for example. The timers open tables and expect to be in the base folder of the application but issuing the above coding changes the base folder for ALL the application, hence throwing errors as the tables (all held relative to the application folder) cannot be found in the new location. So, if you action the Getfile() command and stay in the dialogue for a period of time during which the timers fire, then the timer coding cannot open it’s tables as you are no longer where it expects you to be. Looking at the help file ( OK, I should have looked at it years ago!!) it states: “The SET DEFAULT command is not supported in either single or multithreaded DLL servers. This command changes the default directory of the entire process, so all threads which are part of the process are affected. Use the mk:@MSITStore:c:\program%20files%20(x86)\microsoft%20visual%20foxpro%209\dv_foxhelp.chm::/html/047f2e74-3552-43b7-a18d-ee2c7dd2db6e.htm in DLL servers, in place of CD and CHDIR.” The pertinent fact being: This command changes the default directory of the entire process, so all threads which are part of the process are affected. The same thing goes for CD and Chdir so using those as replacements is not an option unfortunately. Has anyone any ideas as to how to produce a dialogue for saving/opening a file which doesn’t require the “set default to ” instruction? I can modify all the timers to open tables based upon absolute paths but this would be a mega change which I am trying to avoid. Of course I could roll my own Getfile() unless anyone has one available!!! All suggestions accepted, thanks in anticipation.
