[NF] Monitor woes
by Paul Newton 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

Hi all I have just taken delivery of a 20" monitor which the vendor assured me has a resolution of 1920x1080. It doesn't, its native resolution is 1600x900. I have identified another Viewsonic monitor from a different vendor which definitely has a 1920x1080 resolution but it only has a D-sub connector. Is this something I should be concerned about (I know that I can get a D-sub to HDMI or D-sub to DisplayPort cable).

Maybe search here on your needs: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/display-finder Click on top-left on filter, set size to 17 - 21, Resolution to 1920x1080 and check the results :) Another one is https://versus.com/en/monitor I haven't been able to see a Resolution filter on that one, though -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox <profox-bounces(a)leafe.com> Im Auftrag von Paul Newton Gesendet: Dienstag, 21.

Legacy app using wwipstuff.dll fails sending Office365 email
by Ted Roche 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Hi, folks: An ancient legacy app (soon to be mothballed) has been using wwipstuff.dll to send email through outlook.com since at least 2013 or so. Once in a blue moon we've needed to tweak parameters but nothing for around 5 years. I used BLAT to debug and get all the parameters set up correctly. Today, trying to get t to work, I get the error: <<<getline<<< 354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF> <<<getline<<< 550 5.7.64 TenantAttribution; Relay Access Denied [BN1NAM02FT037.eop-nam02.prod.protection.outlook.com] Message not accepted by server >>>putline> This looks like some new requirement by outlook. A quick web search yields: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/troubleshoot/email-delivery/relay… which talks about using certificates (doubtful) or a fallback IP address mode, which I don't remember having to walk them through before. Anybody ran into this and know a quick fix?

[NF] VGA/DVI to HDMI
by Paul Newton 15 Jun '22

15 Jun '22

Hi I have a monitor with VGA and DVI outputs which I want to connect to the HDMI port on my laptop, I know I can get adapters for both VGA-HDMI and DVI-HDMI but would one be better or preferable to the other? Many thanks. Paul Newton --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Problem setting ActiveX control property (Folderview and Fileview controls)
by Paul Newton 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

Hi It's a few years old now, but I have the Sky Software Shell Megapack suite (V8) which contains the two (ActiveX) controls above as well as a drive combo control. I have used these successfully in the past but have run into a problem. The Fileview control has a Public Read-Write Property ColumnWidth which, according to the help file, "Gets/Sets the width of the column in pixels". The VB syntax in the help is: Public Property ColumnWidth(ByVal ColumnName As String, ByVal ColumnIndex As Long) As Long ? MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0) and ? MyFileView.Object.ColumnWidth("Name",0) both work fine and return 120. Trying to set the column width as follows MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0) = 240 gives "Function argument value, type or count is invalid" and MyFileView.Object.ColumnWidth("Name",0) = 240 gives "Syntax error" Am I missing something (I have checked and there is no method or event on the control which references ColumnWidth). Alternatively, can anybody suggest affordable (aka cheap, preferably free) alternatives to these controls which are designed to closely mimic the behaviour of Windows Explorer?

Form design Properties window - Enumerated properties
by Paul Newton 05 Jun '22

05 Jun '22

Hi all A native ActiveX control (i.e. not in a VB wrapper) has an enumerated property ViewType. If I add the control to a form in VB, the property sheet has a dropdown list of the allowed values as follows: 0 - Value one 1 - Value two etc. If I add the control to a VFP form, the property sheet shows the allowed values but without their descriptions. Is there a way to get VFP to show the values and their descriptions (like VFP does for the Alignment property)? Unfortunately, I suspect not but might it be possible to get this working using a wrapper? Again, I suspect not :( - but maybe somebody can come up with something ... Many thanks Paul Newton --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

A better way to create directories?
by Paul Newton 31 May '22

31 May '22

Hi all I hope the following might be useful (I apologise if this is "old hat" for some of you). I wanted to create C:\Folder1\Folder2 when Folder1 does not exist. It is possible to do this using MKDIR but the created folders are in lowercase. You cannot do this with the CreateDirectory API, nor with Scripting.FileSystemObject. Here is the solution: Function MDEx(tcFolder) * tcFolder must be a full path including drive letter DECLARE INTEGER SHCreateDirectory In Shell32 INTEGER hwnd, STRING Path Local nResult * Path must be UNICODE nResult = SHCreateDirectory(0, StrConv(tcFolder,5)) Return nResult && 0 = Success Possible error codes are: ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME (161) : tcFolder was a relative path ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE (206) : Path too long ERROR_FILE_EXISTS (80) or ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS (183) : The directory already exists ERROR_CANCELLED (1223) : Cancelled by user Paul Newton --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

fox wiki down for anyone else?
by Jeff Roberts 30 May '22

30 May '22

I haven't been able to pull up pages on fox wiki (https://fox.wikis.com/) for several days. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, does anyone know who maintains this site? I was playing around with linked servers in SQL Server 2014 and there was some code there I was going to put into my notes. -- Jeff Roberts | jefflroberts(a)gmail.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
