Problem installing Thor
by paul.newton.hudl＠gmail.com 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Hi all I have followed the install instructions and I have Thor.APP and the "Source" folder in Home().\Tools\Thor. When I run Thor.App it complains that MenuDefintions.FPT is missing or invalid BUT instead of referring to .Tools\Thor\Source\Tables (where I can open the table without a problem) it is expecting to find MenuDefinitions in .Tools\Thor\Thor\Tables As usual, any help will be much appreciated.

Update and summary of findings: Syntax highlighting, registry settings and Tools~Options~Editor settings
by paul.newton.hudl＠gmail.com 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

Hi everybody I make no apologies for reposting under a different subject but I think it is necessary to avoid confusion. After carrying out a series of tests, and restarting VFP each time I make a change, I can summarise my findings as follows (what I expect is the settings I can see in the Registry Editor) Summary 1. Sometimes my code window is not what I expect, but the sample code window is what I expect and yet the colour dropdowns do not reflect either (the colour dropdowns do not even agree with the sample code window) 2. Sometimes my code window and the sample code window are both what I expect but the colour dropdowns do not reflect the same 3. Generally speaking the sample code window IS what I expect even when my code window and the colour dropdowns are NOT what I expect I am wondering if VFP's highlighting in my code windows is "remembering" something from somewhere which is overriding the registry settings? The only thing I can seem to reply upon is the sample code window in the options dialog. Any thoughts, comments or ideas will be highly appreciated. Many thanks.

RE: VFP code editor syntax highlighting not working properly (totally screwed up) - NOT SOLVED

Hi Richard Further investigation shows that there is still a problem. I am carrying more tests as methodically as possible and will post my findings when I have finished. I have changed the subject line accordingly.

VFP code editor syntax highlighting not working properly (totally screwed up) - SOLVED
by paul.newton.hudl＠gmail.com 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

Hi all Although the problem has been fixed, I thought this may be helpful and/or of interest to some of you. I have also added at the bottom a REQUEST FOR HELP regarding when changes to colour settings take effect (if anybody thinks that should be a different thread, I will post another message for that) I have recently been experimenting with different colours in the code editor. I have been using VFP's own Tools~Options~Editor and have also been importing .REG files. Everything has been working fine until this morning (I have made no changes this morning). I have tried "Reset All" and importing/merging a .REG file. I exported the VFP Options from Registry Editor and this is what the .REG contained (only relevant entries) Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\9.0\Options] "EditorCommentColor"="RGB(0,128,0,255,255,255), NoAuto, Auto" "EditorKeywordColor"="RGB(0,0,255,255,255,255), NoAuto, Auto" "EditorConstantColor"="RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto" "EditorNormalColor"="RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto" "EditorOperatorColor"="RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto" "EditorStringColor"="RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto" "EditorVariableColor"="RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto" "EditorCommentStyle"="-1" "EditorKeywordStyle"="-1" "EditorConstantStyle"="-1" "EditorNormalStyle"="-1" "EditorOperatorStyle"="-1" "EditorStringStyle"="-1" "EditorVariableStyle"="-1" Just after I started this message, I had another thought - in Registry Editor, delete all the Editor colour entries and start over. Hey presto, that solved the problem. REQUEST FOR HELP When I make changes to colours using Tools~Options~Editor, the changes take effect immediately. If I change one or more colours *from within* VFP by modifying the registry entries. The changes only take effect after restarting VFP. Is there/might there be a way to force VFP to respect the changed colours immediately?

Problem with bbControls and MFC70.DLL
by paul.newton.hudl＠gmail.com 13 Feb '22

13 Feb '22

Hi all I am trying to install a couple of Bela Bodec's ActiveX controls but the OCXs fail to load - "Unable to load OCX!" I know that MFC70.DLL is required and I have a copy which came with the controls but I am not sure what to do with it: Which place(s) should I copy it to (I am running Win 10) and will I need to register it with REGSVR32? I have already tried to run REGSVR32 against MFC70.DLL in its present location but that also fails ("The module MFC70.DLL failed to load").

Pictures and fontnames in dropdown lists and listboxes
by paul.newton.hudl＠gmail.com 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

Hi all I have come up with a rather frustrating anomaly. In the debugger I can set the picture of a particular item in a listbox or dropdown list like this (THIS is either one of the two controls) THIS.Picture(nListIndex) = "SomePicture.BMP" and it works in both cases. But if I try this THIS.FontNamer(nListIndex) = "SomeFontName" it does not work even though THIS.FontNamer(nListIndex) is a property which I can change in the debugger. Does anybody have any thoughts or insights on this or is it "just one of those things".

Players explore a game world, while solving puzzles and engaging in combat. A key feature of the genre is that characters grow in power and abilities, and characters are typically designed by the player.[1] RPGs rarely challenge a player's physical coordination or reaction time, with the exception of action role-playing games.[3] Role-playing video games typically rely on a highly developed story and setting,[4] which is divided into a number of quests. Players control one or several characters by issuing commands, which are performed by the character at an effectiveness determined by that character's numeric attributes. Often these attributes increase each time a character gains a level, and a character's level goes up each time the player accumulates a certain amount of experience.[5] Role-playing video games also typically attempt to offer more complex and dynamic character interaction than what is found in other video game genres. This usually involves additional focus on the artificial intelligence and scripted behavior of computer-controlled non-player characters.[3][6] Story and setting A party of adventurers gathered together in the isometric fantasy RPG Tales of Trolls & Treasures The premise of many role-playing games tasks the player with saving the w --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Copy contents of code/editor window with formatting
by paul.newton.hudl＠gmail.com 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hi all I am trying to copy the contents of the editing window that is currently active (i.e. that I am editing) as text with its RTF formatting code. What I have got (cribbed) so far is this: SET LIBRARY TO (HOME()+"Foxtools.FLL") nWHAND =_EDOPENFIL("TEST.PRG", 1) nEDstart = _EDSKIPLIN(m.nWHAND,0,0) nEDend = _EDSKIPLIN(m.nWHAND,0,10) = _EDSELECT(m.nWHAND, m.nEDstart, m.nEDend) = _EDCOPY(m.nWHAND) = _EDCLOSEFI(m.nWHAND, 0) This works fine insofar as I can paste the code into Word and see that the code highlighting is correct. But there are a couple of issues I haven't yet been able to resolve: 1. I want it to work with the current/open editing window 2. I want to work with the underlying RTF, i.e. the text together with the RTF formatting tags I expect to invoke the code to do this via a hotkey so that the window that I am working on will be the active window. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Paul Newton --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Transparent commandbuttons in Windows 11
by Tracy Pearson 01 Feb '22

Nothing fancy, it appears to come for free when running on Windows 11. If you have a button hiding something under it, it might show up through it. Tracy
