[NF] Winforms
by Graham Brown 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

Hi all Are there any VB.NET Winforms gurus around. I am struggling with custom controls in Winforms. So when I start a new project in Visfox I create custom VCXs for the different forms and form controls. I then use these custom controls throughout the project. I can create an inherited form with the layout I need but when I use this form in the project all the base controls are locked which I think is something to do with "Friend" but I don't understand. In Visfox I create a VCX for controls (e.g. textbox, label, combobox etc ) and inherit from the windows controls. Customisation of these controls is visual so click on the properties and change the font size etc. In Winforms there doesn't seem to be any visual element to this I have to write all the code for it. Am I missing something? Cheers Graham -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Grid column text alignment shifts on first focus
by Tracy Pearson 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

I have a grid in my application that allows users to edit some columns. (Most of my grids don't allowCellSelection) There is 15 columns, the first two do not allow editing, the rest do. The 2nd column alignment appears as top left until it is clicked in at which time it aligns middle left like the other read only column. The other 13 columns are numeric and are all aligned middle right. The first 3 columns are locked. (lockcolumns = 3) I have set the alignment to middle left on the column and the textbox, yet it still wants to first appear top left. I have set this in the properties on the grid class and in the init event I also set them in the grid class. I have set this in the properties on the grid in the form and in the init event of the form. I have placed a button on the form that when clicked it sets these properties. I have used the Grid.ActivateCell(1,2) to try to trick the grid. I set the ReadOnly to false before I did. The When event returns a value on the form to prevent focus. It was allowing focus when I attempted the ActivateCell. The text in that column does not align correctly until a row in that column is clicked. I also notice a white line (highlight?) around the inside of the cell when the cell is clicked. Once focus moves from that cell the highlight goes away. Has anyone seen this and discovered the trouble behind it? Thank you, Tracy

[NF] Recommendations on a developer seat cushion?
by Malcolm Greene 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

OK, I realize this is a rather [NF] but list traffic is low, its summer ... and well, I'm looking for a comfortable "developer" seat cushion and appreciate the wisdom of this crowd. I know, I'm a bit embarrassed by the "developer" adjective, but trying to keep this thread somewhat on topic :) I'm looking at the ComfiLife Seat Cushion (Amazon, $35) but not excited about some of the reviews. Also overwhelmed with the number of options in this space. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014F18ZGU Suggestions?

For those interest: Essentium.com -Kurt P.S. OK - my bad - after I started to write this I realized I should probably tag this as NF - although I DID start with a Q re: Quiet ProFox list...

Disappearing pop-up windows (like the Find window dialog in Code References, and sometimes the entire Debug window)
by MB Software Solutions, LLC 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

VFP9SP2 Win10Pro Dell Latitude 3400 and my favorite color today is red. Has anyone come across where your resource file just seems to get crazy and show windows in coordinates that are entirely off-monitor and you cannot see them? I do! Started not too long ago. I use a dual-monitor setup and on very rare occasion have my laptop lid open too while on the dock for a (unintended) 3rd monitor display. I can only guess that my re-arrange monitors perhaps has caused this. It's very frustrating. I've nuked the resource.dbf file a couple times but it repeats behavior. (Off the top of my head, I can't recall if the ZAP of resource.dbf fixes it or not, but if it does, eventually it happens again where I cannot see the Find window.) Only thing more I can contribute: leftmost monitor is #1 and right (and sometimes middle) is #2. Laptop sits at far right of my desk. Ideas? Tia. -- Michael J.

Generate Restful API for a database
by Frank Cazabon 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

Hi, I'm converting a system that I've had running for the last 15 years or so against SQL Server/PostgreSQL to start using a restful API. I'm looking at doing this API in nodejs and probably using Express. It looks like tedious repetitive code that should be good for a generator. Has anyone come across one out there in the wild? -- Frank. Frank Cazabon

Just heard the new verbage concerning Insert/Update
by Stephen Russell 04 Aug '21

04 Aug '21

The method is UpSert Your database has an object, stored procedure in SQLServer case, that receives all the parameters for a single row of data for that table. The first thing you do is attempt an update of that row. If nothing is updated you then do an insert of those same params. I have been doing this practice for 1-2 years now and just heard the catchy name for it. I will also throw back the ID for the new record as an output param. -- 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 ---
