Intellisense problem now solved. I changed the Foxuser file on the Win 7 machine to one from one of my XP machines - and the shortcuts are back. Many thanks to everyone

thanks - Doug Hennings paper now downloaded (34 pages will take a bit of time to read) meanwhile I'll try playing with the Foxcode table, tried re-installing already. But I've found another problem now - trace doesn't work! I'm not too bothered by security on this. I'm the only Foxpro...

Trying to use VFP 7 under Windows 7 to update an app. Problems! VFP doesn't load intellisense any more so many of my shortcuts just don't work a RUN command (specifically RUN "EXAMDIFF.EXE") just generates an error Both are fine on my XP notebooks. Is there a solution please?

Interesting - thanks. I'm always surprisised at what Fox and a bit (lot?) of programming can get done with data

>>I was not suggesting Win API :)<< So far I'd always got away with simple keystrokes, just changing the few non-intuitive ones if the keycode clashed, but it's good not to have those limitation. The program also has to run on the on-call technician's netbook - slightly different keyboard...

Pass - don't think I'll need that thanks - think I can manage with what I've just learned - for which many thanks again. The ^C / PgDn clash was the first (and I hope now last) time I'd met a problem with keystrokes - and I've been with Fox since before MS bought it ariela

>>it's better to test for nKeyCode in conjunction with a specific nShiftAltCtrl value. << Thanks - I'll check the other keystrokes now, though everything except ^C worked as expected. As you say "implicitly" - it is understandable once you know. Maybe later versions of VFP than mine are more...

>> test for nKEyCode = 3 AND nShiftAltCtrl=0, which means no such modifier key is pressed together with PageDn.<< That worked perfectly - The lab boys & girls will be much happier now, with keystrokes that do what they're used to And I've learnt something new (after 20 odd years of Fox) thank...

>>I don't understand why Ctrl+C is causing a page down within the grid. In MS-DOS, the PdDown key generated the same key code as Ctrl+C << and still does in VFox. I think Olav's last post has provided the solution.

>>do you have Keypress Event code, which calls NODEFAULT in cae of the keycode for PageDn? << Yes I've never looked into the nShiftAltCtrl parameter. How would I code for it? the current bit of the Keypress is if nKeyCode=3 && PgDn nodefault if this.pageframe1.activepage=1 && go to P2...

>> You need either to use _MED_COPY in the menu bar<< I did, and assigned ctrl C as the shortcut key label but pressing Ctrl C, even after R-clicking for the shortcut menu, still just pages down to the next page. Cut & Paste work normally & the users prefer the familiar keystrokes. (cut isn't...

Answer was bit of both. Created a shortcut menu with just Copy and called it from the R-click method of the field that needs that capability. So it's just R-click C to copy selected - near enough to Ctrl C to keep the users happy. (Paste still works as usual in the EXE) Now is there a simple...

Thanks both. I'll go with Oleg for this app - This is the only field where ctrlC/V is wanted OR allowed

This form has a 3 page pageframe; each page containing a grid. The pageup/down keys move between pages. Keypreview =.t. The users want to be able to select part of a grid field and copy the selected text to another field (on the same page). In development mode this works prefectly well - ie...

Thanks gentlemen. Looks as though I have to stay with Mike on this one. What I do atm is to keep a 50 record 'base' foxuser in a non-Fox folder(H:\). This just has my working enviroment as I want it. I also have the following lines at the top of my Command.PRG set reso off !copy...
