[NF] Inadvertent Movement of Documents Folder
by Ken Dibble 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hi Folks, I'm asking you guys about this because, frankly, it's the only group of people I have to ask questions. :) I'm hoping that one of you can suggest something based on a deeper understanding of Windows than I have. Some weeks ago what I *thought* was a _copy_ of somebody's entire "My Documents" folder appeared in a network share that is only used for my Foxpro database system. Since I have people accidentally, and apparently unknowingly, dragging and dropping folders from where they should be to where they shouldn't all the time here--in some cases moving enough data to cause a Windows file copy/move dialog to appear, and stay visible for quite some time--my assumption is that is what happened in this case. However, there are some points in this case that are confounding: 1. The user is not a typical computer illiterate. I did not expect him to be capable of such a mistake. 2. The folder was not just copied, it turned out to have been _moved_, which is not do-able by drag-and-drop without some user interaction, yes? 3. The folder was the user's official designated "My Documents" folder, which also should not be movable without a whole lot of user interaction, right? The user's device is a Windows 7 Pro laptop. He moved the folder to a share on a Windows 2012 server. The only other unusual thing about this machine is that it's lost trust with the domain a couple of times in the last few days. But his documents folder first appeared on the network share weeks ago. So if any of you would like to amuse yourself by positing suggestions of how this could happen without the user being aware of it, please respond here. Thanks. Ken Dibble www.stic-cil.org

[NF] Update on X# progress regarding VFP
by Johan Nel 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Good day ProFoxers, Just an update regarding X#. It was initially expected to have a public release of X# around 19 July. We have however through user testing of RC2 found some issues and on 18 July a RC3 version fixing issues was released to paid members. Due to holidays and much needed rest, the DevTeam have therefore postponed the Bandol GA public release to middle August, which will only include bug fixes found in the RC3 release. It is still planned to have full VFP support by October in time for swfox http://swfox.net/sponsors.aspx Robert the brain behind X# and Fabrice Foray (Visual Studio integration) will be present at this event. Two Silver sponsor sessions are allocated and if there are enough interest, a post conference session will be held the Sunday after closing of the event. Hope this is of interest. XBase greetings, Johan Nel George, South Africa FOX member: Friends of XSharp X# Website: https://xsharp.info X# Runtime: https://github.com/X-Sharp/XSharpPublic

[OT] Missing messages....
by Fletcher Johnson 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

I moved this to OT since it really isn't FP related.... Like you, Paul's initial email re Event Viewer icons also didn't get to my inbox either, just the replies. I wonder if there is a black list somewhere that isn't well monitored - and that some of us somehow got on it. Any ideas how we might track that down?

Re: [NF] How to Get Black Bars on Monitor

>From Display Settings, go to Advanced display settings, then Display Adaptor properties. On that form, there's a List All Modes button. For my graphics card (Intel HD 530) I can choose 1024x768 and this gives me black vertical bars. The result might be a bit blurred because it's not native resolution. Ricardo.

You mess with the Windows Display properties until you get what you want. There are a lot of options, especially in the Assistive panels for the visually impaired. If you have special software from your video card vendor, that may may give you more flexibility to set up things the way you want. Without telling us any specifics, you are only going to get generalized answers.

[NF] How to Get Black Bars on Monitor
by Gene Wirchenko 19 Jul '19

Hello: My desktop system's monitor just died. I now have a new one. Unfortunately, it is a wide one. I do not want a wide monitor. I want my 1024x768 resolution! Some people have this and the monitor displays black bars to the side and do not want this, but some of us do want it. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a general solution. Does anyone know how to get 1024x768 on a wide monitor without getting distortion? Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko
