Combo followup
by Joe Yoder 04 Aug '24

04 Aug '24

Thanks Ted for the input. I ended up putting together some runnable code to compare what happens in different scenarios and have attached it if anyone is interested. I think the behavior when the Quotes are included in the RowSource of the Combo is probably a bug. What bothers me is that it seems to come and go, probably tied to some unknown condition in Foxpro. All the code does is display three different Combo boxes. When you click for the dropdowns the list of options show up. To the right are boxes showing the type and value of the choice just clicked. Thanks again, Joe Here is the code: PUBLIC oform1 oform1=NEWOBJECT("form1") oform1.Show RETURN ************************************************** *-- Form: form1 (c:\dropbox\joe\stuff\ctest.scx) *-- ParentClass: form *-- BaseClass: form *-- Time Stamp: 08/03/24 08:33:05 PM * DEFINE CLASS form1 AS form Top = 0 Left = 0 Height = 250 Width = 713 DoCreate = .T.

Combo RowSourceType 1
by Joe Yoder 03 Aug '24

03 Aug '24

I have figured out that a combo displaying a numeric value will misbehave if the RowSource is not numeric. When I use RowSource = 0.1,0.5,1,2,3 on a form the code runs and the combo behaves. If I use RowSource = "0.1,0.5,1,2,3" the code runs but the combo gets the quotes mixed in with the first and last choices. When I try to define a class RowSource = 0.1,0.5,1,2,3 generates an Unrecognized command verb error. If I use RowSource = "0.1,0.5,1,2,3" the code runs but the combo misbehaves. I am aware of several work arounds: use a cursor, use an array, or initialize the RowSource in a method called from Init. I don't like any of them because they swell the code and make it difficult to follow. Does anyone care to share some wisdom? Thanks in advance, Joe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Southwest Fox 2024: Decisions, decisions...
by Rick Schummer 31 Jul '24

31 Jul '24

Thanks to our generous speakers stepping up and shouldering some of the financial risks, additional sponsorship, and our hope that the community will respond with more registrations, we are announcing that Southwest Fox 2024 will go on as planned in-person and virtually September 26-29, 2024. That said, it is with heavy hearts that we announce this is the final in-person Southwest Fox conference that we are going to put on as it's clear the economics no longer work. Our plan is to move forward with Virtual Fox Fests in the future. This is your last chance to hang out with the Fox gang in Phoenix, so if you were thinking about attending sometime, this is the time. A final reminder, the Early-Bird discount expires today, Wednesday, July 31st. https://geekgatherings.com/Registration Rick White Light Computing, Inc.

ChilkatVFP 1.34 Released
by Bill Anderson 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

Folks, https://github.com/billand88/ChilkatVFP This was actually released a couple weeks ago, just getting around to notifications. Chilkat v1.34 is compatible with Chilkat v99. Some internal documentation has been added for the Async methods if appropriate. Don't be afraid to browse the ChilkatVFP source code - pull up Chilkat.VCX in the Class Browser and roam around the Chilkat instance classes. ChilkatVFP is both a functional wrapper and an encyclopedia. Bill Anderson --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Southwest Fox 2024: in-person, STILL in jeopardy
by Rick Schummer 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

We really want to have an in-person conference. If you plan to be at the in-person conference, please register today if you have not already done so. We are still short of our minimum to make the in-person side of the conference happen by *six* people. Even if we get six more in-person registrations, we are taking a financial risk. If you plan to attend virtually, please register for the virtual conference as this impacts the choice we have to make in the coming days. Plus, if you register now, you get the early-bird discount, which expires on August 1. 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 this Friday, *July 26th*. The conference takes place September 26-29, 2024 in Scottsdale, Arizona and we really hope you can be there.

It's been a long time...
by Ed Leafe 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

...since the first message posted to ProFox: exactly 25 years ago today! https://leafe.com/archives/msg/1 It's amazing that something started as a temporary solution to a problem has proven to be so long-lived! And while only a handful of people post regularly, there are still 306 subscribers to the profox list, and 184 to the profoxtech list. So while the Fox might be dead, ProFox is still very much alive! -- Ed Leafe

Not posted for ages but has anyone had any experience in connecting VFP to an ePDQ credit card scanner and if so what method/interface did you use? Thanks Dave --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
