Re: [NF] X# Bandol 2.4 released, public release next week and LIVE Demo 23 April
by Eric Selje 29 Apr '20

Quick question as I think about this tutorial. Would the emphasis be on how to create an app from scratch with X#, or should I create a To-Do List in VFP first and then convert that?

GoFish problem
by Paul Newton 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

Hi all I have been happily using GoFish (4.3) for years but today when I tried to run it (in VFP9 SP2) the cursor changes to that circular one which appears when Fox is busy and GoFish refuses to load. Fox also displays eventually as Not Responding. Any ideas/suggestions? Many thanks Paul Newton --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Topic: Exploring XSharp Runtime State Time: Apr 30, 2020 04:00 PM Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna We plan for 30 minutes, but our schedule allows to extend that when needed. Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83219835339 Meeting ID: 832 1983 5339 Please note that if you do not have Zoom installed you will be invited to download an exe. Even though the name may look like a Virus, it is not. We are not sure why zoom generates file names like that: Zoom_o42a8sofizku_643cd2774e61398f.exe You can also choose to join the meeting in your browser, so you do not have to install anything Next week (May 7, same time) we will look into new features inside the X# language. An invitation will be published here. Johan Nel George, South Africa.

[ADMIN] Upgraded server
by Ed Leafe 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Over the weekend I upgraded the mail server from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, and there have been some issues with mis-matched versions and libraries. If you have tried to send a message in the last few days, please check the archive (https://leafe.com/archives) to verify that it was posted. I *think* I have all the kinks worked out, but please let me know off-list about any problems you run into. — Ed

AddObject/BindEvent Question
by Paul H. Tarver 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

I'm probably missing something obvious here or being thickheaded about this, but here's my situation: I have a standard lookup button class I use all the time that I drop onto a form, set several properties, do a simple query to create a picklist and then it uses CREATEOBJECT to create a simple form from my class library, then it uses ADDOBJECT to add a Grid from the class library and Select/Cancel buttons to the form. After creating the grid, I loop through the fields in the picklist and setup the columns in the grid. I use BINDEVENT to provide the functionality to the click event of each button and the dblclick event of the grid columns. This class has worked perfectly for many years and is easy to use and include whenever I want a simple look up for a single selection from the picklist by the user. However, today I was trying to add some functionality to the class by adding a checkbox in the first column of the grid to allow users to make multiple selections from the picklist. Adding a 'Sel' field to the query and setting the resulting cursor to READWRITE was easy enough. Displaying the checkbox in the generated grid was also easy. I set the readonly propery for the grid, the column and the checkbox to .f. and everything displays correctly but no matter what I do, when I click on the checkbox, nothing happens. I've confirmed the cursor is readwrite at runtime. I've monitored readonly properties all the way to the moment the .show() method is called to display the picklist form and they all are .f. until after the .show() method executes. I've traced the code for all the parent elements and can find no other place where any readonly properties are being set to .t. My question is this: If I'm using ADDOBJECTS and BINDEVENT commands to create this picklist form, do I need to create a procedure specifically for the CLICK event of the checkbox to issue a DODEFAULT() command and then bind that to the Click Event manually or will the checkbox just automatically use the base CLICK event code from the parent class? I haven't worked with ADDOBJECTS and BINDEVENT commands often (the last time was probably when I wrote the original code for the picklist class I'm trying to modify) and I'm not sure this makes sense, but after a couple of hours failure, I decided to give up and ask for help. Thanks in advance! Paul H. Tarver --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

It sounds painful. Yes - its actually listed in a job on this website: https://jooble.org/alert-vacancy/XNDJGCDZEPVNTCDBBRTD/0/?ed=43941&mid=553f4… I thought it was pretty funny they should list something like that - and wanted to share it here - as well as fact that there's 5 jobs listed - but, some of the links look like total BS type headhunters! -K-

Decompile FoxPro Windows 2.6?
by Ted Roche 24 Apr '20

24 Apr '20

A charitable service organization have a custom FPW 2.6 EXE they use for some calculations and inventory, and are desperate to get it working on something more recent than Windows XP. So far, no source code has turned up. What's out there that would let me decompile an FPW 2.6 EXE? I'm donating my time on this, so free would be nice, but I'll spend a few $$$ if needed.
