Treeview of choice for VFP app?
by MB Software Solutions, LLC 01 Nov '19

01 Nov '19

Needed to mockup something with a treeview control. Is there a free treeview that you could recommend beyond the basic MS ComCtl control? I say free because this really is for just some quick mockup and not worth spending $$. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Gene, Vilhelm made fabulous classes to export DBF tables with memofields in MSExcel, MSWord, MSAcces have you tried any of them already?

A FoxPro Transition @ UCLA...
by Kurt at VR-FX 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Hello there folks, I'm looking to get some feedback from the hive mind of this group. And, I will admit, I'm doing this kind of last minute. Too many things going on lately, and I have not had a chance to do my true due diligence! Such as thorough research via prior postings in this forum. So as some of you may already know, I had a first interview for a programmer job at UCLA. The second interview is coming up, it's supposed to be this Thursday, but I might try to postpone until Friday. Too much stuff going on in my life lately, including doing 2 different part time jobs and an extended relative who passed away recently, that's the reason I'm going down to LA for an in-person interview, since the last interview I did via Skype. It looks like UCLA really wants to move away from Foxpro, as they know it's a dead language. But, they want to move to something similar to VFP. I suspect its also because the 1 and only programmer there, who's been there for like 30 years and may be retiring soon - doesn't want to learn something Totally new. And, also wants to minimize the transition! They are asking me to propose what I think is the best option. They have mentioned several options such as Fox-in-Cloud, the Alpha software, and even Servoy. They did not bring up things like Lianja, XoJo, or X# the open source X-base language. I know that Fox-in-Cloud even offers a type of Conversion Assistant - which looks really Great! But, once its converted and running in the cloud - I'm assuming that making updates to the system actually means programming in something that is not actually FoxPro - as I think its Javascript & HTML. But, I could be wrong - and am sure Thierry will correct me. There was also some recent discussion on X# which looked like a potentially great option. But, I heard that via the last posting - the FoxPro version of the code wasn't really ready yet! They also told me that they have already been working with Alpha SW - and in discussions with them for several months. Which makes me think they are already leaning towards Alpha. A quick review of old postings in this forum did not show a lot of discussion or users of Alpha. It would really be great to hear from some Alpha users! Anyway - any and all input would be greatly appreciated. I've seen Numerous discussions about a number of these technologies here in the forum over the years. But, honestly - I never truly got involved with any of them - until NOW! Regards, Kurt

SWFox 2019 recap
by Tracy Pearson 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

I am back to calm after the first day back to work. I had a great time at the conference and hope to stay connected with those I met. I answered an email this morning and thought about the conversation I had with Richard Kaye. <grin> Good conversations, good information, and a fun time. I hear I did well as my first time speaking at the conference. Maybe we can get more ProFoxers to go in 2020. See you around! Tracy
