Code Signing VFP exes
by Tracy Pearson 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Today I ran some tests because customers have reported some odd problems. I updated a Windows 10 computer to all the latest updates and finally got to see what the customer reported. https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hipchat.com/15697/60882/WN2lcXUa8zdne6o/cor ruptsignature1.png "Windows protected your PC Windows SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." Clicking on the more info link allows a customer to run the exe anyway. It also appears this only happens with a SHA-1 certificate signed exe, which was signed after 1/1/2016 that was downloaded from the internet. The customer can "Unblock" the file, and this problem goes away. If you support Windows XP, Vista, or Server 2008 (not R2) you won't see this problem. You will see this problem on newer OS's. If you only sign your EXE with the SHA-2 certificate, it will not work on Windows XP SP3, Vista, and Server 2008 (according to Microsoft). I still need to get the SHA-2 certificate. According to this site: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/32288.windows-enf orcement-of-authenticode-code-signing-and-timestamping.aspx the exe can be dual signed. I don't know if this process will break the VFP executables. If you are looking for code signing, here's a really good deal. http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/

[NF] Win 7 Update messing with network settings?
by Mike Copeland 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Has anyone else run into this in the last few days? (like since last Tuesday) I've had 10 or 12 Windows 7 Pro systems, so far, that have had their NIC IP address settings switched from manually configured to DHCP. At first I thought it was a fluke, but I keep finding more and more systems that this has happened to. And there was a forced reboot update from MSoft last week. I'm not suggesting nefarious activity, just that I have never seen this happen before. All of the systems are locked down with Admin accounts that use a password that is not available to anyone but myself and one other person. Some of the computers are running video display systems (kiosks)...not even touched by users. The one thing they all have in common is Windows 7 pro. Anything happening like that to anyone else? Thanks! Mike Copeland

[NF] Robohelp HTML
by Allen Pollard 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi foxgang FYI A while ago I mentioned that Robohelp's HTML help refused to go on windows 10. Well odd thing is it was the installer that refused to work on Windows 10. I just updated the windows 7 machine with HTML help on and it still works, well other than not being able to load some components which I don't need anyway, but it did that on 7. Good, saves me looking for a new HTML help prog. Al

http://www.irrlicht3d.org/pivot/entry.php?id=1485 Why you should not develop apps for Windows 10 My point for posting this is are we all expecting more automated messaging to help fix things these days that we lose sight of the real problem? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

RE: VFP 9.00.0000.5815 and a bad PATH environment variable
by Tracy Pearson 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Hello everyone, I've tracked this down a little further. Using the SysInternals Process Monitor program, VFP is looking for the FOXUSER.DBF. In the process, it looks in the current folder, then every folder in the PATH. There bad path does not appear in the captured data. Having a valid FOXUSER.DBF in the program folder prevents the error from happening. This still occurs even though the compiled in config.fpw file contains the line: resource=off I am now testing with 09.00.0000.7423 This wasn't a problem with an exe built using 09.00.0000.3504, until I modified the exes internal manifest. Any thoughts? Tracy Pearson PowerChurch Software

Spinner Control Anomaly
by Richard Caruso 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

I've been struggling with a bug and it came down to a spinner control. I've gleaned a lot from this community and thought I'd pass my solution along for comments/suggestions. I am using a spinner control with the control source gnYear. Clicking on the up/down spinner arrows changes the value of what the spinner displays, but does not change the value of the control source. I verify this by displaying the control source gnYear in a wait window from the spinner's interactive change method. While the spinner control is still active, selecting a menu option to call a function that uses gnYear does not produce the desired results since gnYear remains at its initial value. For example, gnYear is 2016 when the form loads. I change the spinner value to 2014. I immediately select a menu option to call a function that uses gnYear, but gnYear is still 2016, not 2014 as I would expect it to be. The value of gnYear is set to the correct value only when focus is set to another object. So my resolution is to setFocus to another object in the spinner's mouseLeave method. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

VFP EXE being blocked by Norton
by Wes Wilson 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

My yahoo account sends it but zipped up exe gets deleted by Norton, even if i change extension to txt. So I tried gmail. Gmail would not even let me attach it. So i am trying my erw.com email. It allowed me to send it but do not yet know if Norton will let it install. My backup plan is to put the develompent folder on my client's server and just send changed source. Then compiling it.
