I would like to thank every one for responding. I tend to agree with Chip that this is meant to be that way. In the past, I had control over the app and used to work through ini entry or the existance of certain file to flag the system that the app is in development mode and let the app behave...

Thanks for your advice. I did search google, but what I found requires coding in the form that is borderless. My problem is that I am not suppose to make any change in the app that I am trying to move. It is a seperate app (suppose I have no code for that app). I need to get the handle of the...

I have an application (writte in VB.Net) that runs without the ControlBox (just like a splash screen that you cannot move). I want to write a .Net app to change the property of the running application to add a ControlBox so that I move it to my desired location whenever I need it. Is it...

Teresa! You guessed right, but set notify is off and no message is displayed. I have a 'Save' button on the form. When I click on it and currently the date field in the grid is in 'VFP control state', neither valid nor lost focus is triggered at that time. It triggers after the save button is...

Thank you Mike. Your second solution makes more sense. I just have to do a little more to validate date.

I have a grid that has a column controlled by a date field. There is a valid event that triggers if the user enters an undesired date. My problem is that if the user enters 00 or any invalid date, i.e. 02-31-2007, the vfp takes control and would not loose the focus, neither it will trigger the...

I am not sure if there is a direct way to grab information from the screen output. However, I would use SET ALTERNATE command to output to a file besides screen and then check the file for anything I want.

Your answer is on the following link; http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/1646.aspx

You can also consider changing the property of the fields (txtField1.Enabled = .F.). This way cursor would not go to these fields at all.

The following link would show you all the runtime files of VFP8 and where they should normally be installed. If these files are not in the path, your app will complain about DLLs. Please make sure that the path is correct for that particular user or you can simply copy all required DLLs in the...

Here is an example USE Company IN 0 IF EMPTY(FIELD('CITY', 'Company')) wait window 'The field does not exits' ELSE wait window 'Field exists' ENDIF ** you can create a function like this Function FieldExists(pcFieldName, pcTableName) RETURN EMPTY(FIELD(UPPER(pcFieldName)...

Here is one solution; IIF(EMPTY(b1b250.a31), '', TRIM(b1b250.a31) + ', ')+TRIM(b1b250.a32)+', '+TRIM(b1b250.a33)

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there anyway, we could do it without calling a seperate exe or dll or com server?

I want to run a process from a screen that should run in the background and update certain tables from some other tables. Currently I have a screen (form1) that has a buttons that runs a modeless form (form2). I can do anything with form1 while form2 is also in the background, but when i select...

We thought about this also. We could create unique DSN and assign to the application to use that DSN name. However, there is one thing that is not clear to us. When we create a report we assign a DSN to the report. How can we tell the report at run time that use another DSN instead of the one...
