[NF] Qarbon Viewletbuilder, TechSmith Camtasia, others? ...for presentation demos
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

Years ago, I used Qarbon ViewletBuilder to create training videos for my software. It's time for me to again do so, but I no longer have Qarbon's ViewletBuilder, so I'm asking what other folks would recommend. I will say that Qarbon's product was pretty easy to use. Here are the products I'm considering, and wondered if you had OTHER ALTERNATIVE products to consider: Qarbon ViewletBuilder ($399 for new, $199 for upgrade): http://www.qarbon.com/presentation-software/viewletbuilder/ TechSmith Camtasia ($199): http://shop.techsmith.com/store/techsm/en_US/buy/productID.289432000 I like this kind of presentation demo instead of just still screenshots in a PDF. Thanks in advance for your ideas! --Mike

RE: Weird font behavior on project tabs, table designer, etc.

Alan, Bill, Richard, et. al., Ok, I have attached a screen shot. This should make it clear where I am having the problem. All the ideas you mentioned work quite well for changing what they are supposed to change - but none of those have any effect on the fonts that are showing incorrectly. If you are here in the states, have a Happy Thanksgiving, otherwise, have a happy rest of the week.... :) Fletcher Fletcher Johnson FletcherSJohnson(a)Yahoo.com LinkedIn.com/in/FletcherJohnson beknown.com/FletcherJohnson twitter.com/fletcherJ strava.com/athletes/fletcherjohnson 408-946-0960 - work 408-781-2345 - cell -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:profox-bounces@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Bill Anderson Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2016 7:14 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: Weird font behavior on project tabs, table designer, etc. Fletcher, There's a setting for the project font in the options dialog.

VFP9 runtimes windows 10;
by Allen 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

Hi guys One of my customers has an issue. First a user has my VFP9 program with the program in program files 86 and the runtimes in common files. All works fine. New user added and this user gets a problem with resource files not found. I assume these are the ones in common files plus the c++ dll. Anyone know why one user works and the other fails? TIA Al

Report listeners and MSXML4
by Paul Newton 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

Hi all ReportListeners.H contains (amongst many others) the following DEFINEs #DEFINE OUTPUTXML_DOMFREETHREADED_DOCUMENTOBJECT "Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0" #DEFINE OUTPUTXML_XSLT_PROCESSOROBJECT "Msxml2.XSLTemplate.4.0" These are used/referenced in the following classes/methods In the HTMLListener class FillRunCollector In the XMLListener class FillRunCollector GetRunNodeContents BeforeReport ApplyXLST LoadProcessorObject GetVFPRDLContents AdjustXLSTParameter MSXML4 is no longer supported and, apparently, has a security vulnerability. I have removed it from my system but I need to know if any of these methods will ever be invoked from/by our application. So far I have been unable to find under what circumstances one or more of these methods might be invoked. Any ideas? Sample code? BTW, having removed MSXML4, CreateObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0") and CreateObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate.4.0") both give a "Class not registered" error which I expected. I did wonder whether it would be safe to remove the .4.0 from the DEFINEs. Doing so _does_ allow me to create the objects without error. Many thanks Paul Newton

Well, no, because if someone passes 153 or more parameters, VFP throws "Allowed DO nesting or expression evaluation limit reached." It is turtles all the way down, and the last ones snap.

Weird font behavior on project tabs, table designer, etc.
by Fletcher Johnson 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Hi all, Recently installed VFP 9, SP2 on a new laptop. When I run VFP and open a project, the text for the project tabs (all, data, document.) are quite large. This is also true of the tabs and column data (both titles - name, type, width. and data - field name, character, .) For the life of me, I can't figure out where it found the font. I checked options, the registry entry, etc. but can't find anything that seems out of place. It sort of looks like the "expanded" font on old Epson printers. The VFP menu is fine as is the data in the properties windows (although the tabs are screwed up). The command window and text going to the screen all appears as expected. The problem is that VFP doesn't account for the size of this weird font and many labels now overwrite each other or are hidden by the respective data entry textbox, etc. Any idea what is farkled up and how to fix it?

That was the limit for VFP6/7, but VFP9 appears >to have a much higher limit. 152 by my testing, but this is irrelevant. What practically everyone has missed is this is *NOT*, repeat *NOT*, about how to pass a lot of parameters. Using a parameters object is irrelevant. Take a look at the title of the thread: Dealing with Extraneous Parameters If a caller passes too many parameters to a procedure, how do you handle the situation in the procedure? The short answer appears to be that you can not. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

This would allow you >a limitless number of parameters and also be interface independent. Yes, you are missing something. What I wanted -- I have given up on it -- was to be able to check that the number of parameters passed was correct. The case that I ran into trouble with is when too many parameters are passed. Suppose a procedure takes three parameters and four are passed. It would be nice to be able to detect this in the procedure, but instead an error is thrown. This happens before anything in the procedure is executed. Yes, you could put that detection in the caller, but then, why not just call correctly? Plus this does not work if the procedure is standalone which is what I wanted. [snip] Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

It was a *standalone* program. The idea was to invoke it easily, such as in one line. It took only one parameter. I just wanted to detect if too many parameters were passed to it. As far as I can see, VFP does not allow this sort of checking in a general way. The number of parameters is limited, but it seems it is way more than 26. On my system, it is 152. Yes, each parameter got its correct value. [snip] Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

Do you rebuild your indexes every night or do you leave them alone.
by Michael Madigan 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

I've been rebuilding indexes every night, does it really make a difference? How many people rebuild each night and how many leave it alone?
