    CommTools Question for dsummzzz

    I noticed you spend quite a bit of time with this library and wondered if you do much with it and VFP, or have you moved on to the Active X? I need to rewrite some communication programs thru serial ports and I use CommTools for this, however I wondered if mscomm works any better. Don Higgins...

    Graceful Shutdown

    After your READ EVENTS in your main.prg file you should just tell Fox to exit. I have a global variable to tell me if this is the development version or the EXE. For example: ** setup stuff and variables glexerunning = "EXE" $ UPPER(SYS(16)) && or 'APP' $ UPPER(SYS(16)) Do Form MainForm...

    Graceful Shutdown

    You are making it too difficult. You will issue a Clear Events from the Quit button on your main form, or menu. If you are using a main form then in the Form's Destroy event put a Clear Events also. Then just issue a quit if in the EXE mode or a Return if in Dev Mode. Don Higgins...

    New FAQ - Search folders and Subfolders for files

    Would it be fairly easy to modify to pull all the files from a directory into a listbox to select and resort etc? I hate using GetFile() because I have to change to Detail View and then resort the files to get the newest ones. Don Higgins www.crewchiefpro.com

    Invoice form with standard depth for details?

    You should not need anything special here. If I understand you properly the detail lines are controlled by the records so you do not need to set them. The graphic normally goes on top of the invoice, away from the detail and column headers. There are samples that ship with foxpro for this...

    Form Display Issues

    I assume this is not a holdover from some Fox 2x code, if it is then I can understand the problem. If not, I would look at the video driver, try downloading the latest driver from the manufacturer. I had the same thing happen before, but I was trying to run old code inside a new form and that...

    Converting form from Foxpro 2.6

    It will take some time but we have all been through the same thing. Post specific questions and we can help. Most common errors are when using Variables (I know this one well). They are now replaced with Form Properties and local variables instead of public variables. Once you get "over the...

    Lazy readonly textbox

    Why in the world would you want a readonly control to get focus at all? Seems like a bad idea to me. make sure it is also disabled unless you need it, in which you can enable it and turn off read only. Don Higgins www.crewchiefpro.com

    VFP9: Heavy traffic/transaction

    I find it amazing that this code in VFP 7 will create 70,000 more records than VFP 9 with the same code on the same machine. Wonder why that is. Don Higgins www.crewchiefpro.com

    Water Mark on Reports

    Better yet create a form Property and initialize it with either true or false depending on if it goes to the printer or the preview. Form properties are public during use and are discareded when the form is destroyed. You can refrence them on a report PRINT WHEN with : if thisform.glCopy =...
