Hi, I have a bunch of PDF files set with "Fit Page" magnification. I would like to set it to "Default" or "Page Width" programatically. Does anyone knows which OLE automation method should I call to accomplish this?

Mike, the problem is that if I set the AllowCellSelection to .F. I can't change the check box I have on Column 1 because it behaves like a readonly column.

Mike; I tired the DisabledBackColor with no luck. To get the controls in the grid it's a very tricky procedure that takes a couple of tries, the good thing is that it is documented go to the help of VFP8 and in the search tab write "displaying controls in grid columns" it should be the first...

I am using VFP8 to create a form with a grid that contains 4 columns using the property sheet. The column controls are as follows: Column 1 - checkbox (readonly=.f.) Column 2 - textbox (readonly=.t.,opaque) Column 3 - textbox (readonly=.t.,opaque) Column 4 - editbox (readonly=.t.) Also I...

Hello: I have a form that I want to return an array from it. I call the form with a DO FORM frmName TO laretval. The form manipulates the data and stores the values in an array property and returns the property. The problem is that laretval is not an array and only stores the first element of...

Mike, The INPUT='FILE' is an HTML variable type as textbox but its purpose is to browse for a file. If you put it on a web page it will place a textbox with a Browse button. There the user can type the file name with path or click the button and browse his computer for a file. From VFP you...

I have a web control on a form that has an INPUT='File' field on it. I want to populate the path programatically from my form to that field. I read that the value property of the INPUT='File' field is protected for security reasons, so I started looking for another approach with the _cliptext...

Aircon: Thanks a lot it did work! I was considering something like this but wasn't sure how to get to it. It's a little frustrating that you have to create an additional object to accomplish something that the control is supposed to do. But the user wouldn't know the difference! Thanks all...

Mike, Have you been able to test this. I think you are right and that's the way to go, but we are still missing something because I get the same results. This is what I have in the click event (just for testing purposes) of the rtf control: thisform.SetAll('Tabstop', .f. ) WITH...

Hello All: I have a form that contains several controls including an ole rich textbox. The problem is that within the box I am not able to use the TAB key to insert the TAB characters. I read on a MS tech article that you have to set all the controls' tabstop property to .F. so I did. But this...
