Outlook Redemption tool
by MB Software Solutions, LLC 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

I have a need to use MAPI (yes, I know Ted et al: MAPI bad, SMTP good...but this customer wants to see a system generated email in Outlook, review it including file attachment, and then press Send manually). I thought I was going to have to use the Redemption tool to get around the security issues with Outlook but I'm stunned that this simple code worked on my laptop which has Outlook 2016 on it: LOCAL oOutlook as Outlook.Application, oNamespace as Outlook.NameSpace, oMailItem as Outlook.MailItem oOutlook = CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.Application") #DEFINE olFolderDisplayNormal 0 #DEFINE olMailItem 0 oNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI") oExplorer = oOutlook.Explorers.Add(oNameSpace.Folders[1],olFolderDisplayNormal) oMailItem = oOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem) WITH oMailItem .Subject = 'Testing email send' .Body = "Thank you for your participation in the test at " + TTOC(DATETIME()) .Recipients.Add("mbabcock(a)mbsoftwaresolutions.com") .Attachments.Add("C:\crap\MyFile.pdf") .Save() *.Send() && commented out for now as I don't want to auto-send...user wants to review and manually Send ENDWITH oExplorer.Activate() This is basically using the code from the Microsoft Office Automation with Visual FoxPro book from HWP. (Thanks for the cue, Ted!). Now the comment and question: 1. I'm amazed that Outlook 2016 let me do this without any warning/blocking. I was thinking I'd have to use the Outlook Redemption add-in tool (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/) 2. The sample code above saves it to the Drafts folder but when I open OL via the last line (oExplorer.Activate()), I was hoping to have the email front and center so the user could just press the Send button after reviewing it manually on screen. Any ideas how to achieve that? tia, --Mike --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

SMB
by Chris Davis 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Hi All With any networked VFP application sharing a DBC the SMB performance of the server hosting the DBC is very important? Assuming your answer to the above question is Yes or Of Course, then when you have one server that seems to perform well and one that doesn't it would be useful to easily compare the setup of the two. Is anyone aware of any utilities that make the configuration and tweaking of SMB easy or at least allow you to compare to setups? Of course, if your answer to the first question isn't yes I would also be interested in your thoughts. I know there is a lot more that comes into the performance of an application other than the setup of the server, i.e the spec of the client, the os of the client, other software such as anti virus, network infrastructure etc etc. Where I am going with this... We have lots of sites where an application works well and one site where it doesn't, and without having to spend hours and hours investigating all the various settings and registry entries, I just want to start with the servers and make a comparison to see if there are any obvious differences. Thanks Chris. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Thor Updates and VFPX GitHub site
by Bill Anderson 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

I have a multi-pronged question here. I had (well have) used Thor's update process to update all the VFPx tools pointing to MSFT's former site for VFPx. Side note: It's apparently undocumented but VFPx tools can still be updated through Thor. So long as the update comes from outside MSFT's dead web site, everything works. Occasionally an update will come through, such as Doug Hennig's new Project replacement. So, things are now on GitHub. OK. How does one manage this? 1) How do we determine which is the latest version? That's a serious question as there are two places that can have the update. 2) What tools do you recommend for Github? 3) Thor would download an extension and put it in a specific directory for Thor to manage. Let's call it directory X. The Github downloader would ostensibly put it in directory Y. Is there a way to not only point to directory X for a specific GitHub VFP tool but to have it unpacked in that directory? 4) How about integrating new VFP tools on GitHub into Thor? Does one just manually make the directories and update metadata somewhere? There's probably several more questions but that will get us started.

X# Bandol GA 2.0 released
by Johan Nel 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Good day VFPers, As promised by the DevTeam the above version was released to the Paid members today. The public release will follow in a weeks time. Some exciting news: VFP DBF files are now supported (read/write) with DBC to follow soon. Xs2Ado an ADO driver for DBF like interfacing to SQL will also be released later this week. And I believe most important of all, the DevTeam will soon release the Compiler source code also in the public domain! Hope this is of interest to some. XBase greetings, Johan Nel Friend(s) of XSharp(FOX) member https://xsharp.info George, South Africa.

[NF] X# final bug fixes before public release
by Johan Nel 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Hi all ProFoxers, Just an update regarding the public release. Some minor issues were encountered and a paid release of X# was made for final testing before the public opensource release. Some of the VFP highlights announced (https://xsharp.info) FoxPro class defines will be addressed after this release to hopefully be implemented by swfox. Hope this is of interest to most, Johan Nel George, South Africa. *Compiler* * The TEXT .. ENDTEXT command has been implemented in the compiler (FoxPro dialect only) * The \ and \\ commands have been implemented (FoxPro dialect only) * Procedures in the FoxPro dialect may now return values. Also the /vo9 options is now enabled by default in the FoxPro dialect. The default return value for a FUNCTION and PROCEDURE is now TRUE in the foxpro dialect and NIL in the other dialects. *Runtime* * Added support functions for TEXT .. ENDTEXT and TextMerge and an output text file. * We have added several FoxPro system variables (only _TEXT does something at this moment)
