Mandy, it may be possible through the WinRT. There's a session coming up at FoxFest. There's no mention of cameras or QR codes in the session description but i'm sure questions will be asked during the session. If it is possible it will likely involve C#. hth n

i've had issues in the past with both nfjsonread and nfjsoncreate because they don't use m.dot. in the runtime environment might you have an imported excel sheet with field names a,b,c,d,e,etc ? either select 0 before calling nfjsoncreate or change that bc to m.bc . hth n

Sasha, or leave enabled but have the .when() method return false under those conditions. that said, the idea of the disabled/readonly colour change is to indicate to the user that they can't/must't be changed. hth n

Mandy, that's the old (and these days very dated & ugly) 3d effect. set the .themes property for each control (or the form) to false and .specialeffect property to 0. n

Griff, perhaps no benefit. But a dderequst() from one (UI) process does cause an "event" in the receiving process (in that the ddesetopic passes a UDF to fire when the topic is called by the first (UI) process.) i mention it a bit tongue-in-cheek... it's more or less deprecated but it does...

Dennis, VFP still has DDE ! so one (background?) process would ddesetservice() and ddesettopic() and the other (UI) process would ddeinitiate() and ddeexceute() or dderequest() hth n

Mandy, Mike and Colin have answered your question "as asked"...... but it's probably worth adding that that is not a great way of doing things. At some point in the future someone may be working on the parent form and decide to change the button's name or move it onto one the pageframe tabs or...

Rajesh, then you are probably already showing a grid of filtered records...... highlighting the column should be good enough? i do similar for browsing records.. in this case the filter reduces the record set and i've not been tempted to highlight.... hth n

Rajesh, we need to know more about what you are trying to achieve. As has been said you can't have mixed fonts within labels, textboxes or other native VFP controls. But if this is some sort of lookup would this approach work? this is done using the grid column's dynamicbackcolor property...

Griff/Mike i just tried CREATE REPORT in a runtime command window thing ... and yes it worked.... n

Tamar, sorry if i jumped the gun n

sessions have been announced for October 2022's virtual foxfest https://virtualfoxfest.com/sessions.aspx

David, there's a .sendusingaccount property on the mailitem object. so.. to find the account you want. loOutlook = CREATEOBJECT("outlook.application") loMailitem = loOutlook.createitem(0) loSendingAccount = NULL FOR EACH loAccount IN loOutlook.SESSION.Accounts IF loAccount.displayname =...
