    confused re adding CreditCard Payment to our VFP9 app

    I don't want to get in trouble in this forum for posting this because there seems to already be quite a few references to this topic, but many are old. We have been designing / distributing a very large VFP system for many years now (about 2,500 clients - mostly in Canada). We want to add a...

    VFPPING.DLL and Windows 8

    We have been using VFPPING.DLL to determine Internet connection in our large VFP app for 11 years, across multi Windows platforms. However, we are now finding that the Windows-8 computers are returning a .F. which results in our "... no internet connection..." message when attempting to Check...

    Trapping CTL characters in textbox/editbox

    Thanks Olaf, This is what I want to happen. The control is editable but if the textbox has a particular value, I want to disable CTL-A, like in Google Gmail Subject textbox when the initial word "Subject" is still there. Roy

    Trapping CTL characters in textbox/editbox

    I am trying to trap the Ctrl + A, Ctrl + V in a textbox, and it seems that the event is not triggered (also for some other ctrl + key combinations). But I can trap them if the control is an editbox. Is this a VFP bug? Is there a way around it?

    API's to get File Owner

    Olaf, What kind of rights or security settings should be granted to actually get the file owner? Basically, the VFP EXE is run from a network drive, and all the shared DBFs reside on that drive. One of the forms allows selection of a client to see all client accounting details. The users have...

    API's to get File Owner

    Thanks Dave ... If the program runs on the network but the files are on my local drive, I get the owner. But if the files are on the network, don't get the owner. Is there a generic way around this rights issue? Roy

    API's to get File Owner

    In a VFP program, I am trying to get the file owner using the following APIs: GetFileSecurity GetSecurityDescriptorOwner and LookupAccountSid. If I run the application on my C: drive, I get Administrator as owner. If I run it on the network, i get an empty string. If I copy or move a file...

    Where do the compiled EXE properties come from?

    Hopefully a simple answer that I keep missing... If I use MyComputer to right-click on our main startup EXE (compiled in VFP9) to see the EXE Properties, on the Details tab, I cannot determine where a few of the values came from when the PJX was compiled. For example, the contents of the "File...

    Missing properties in runtime Modify Report

    The large software package we design and distribute is developed in VFP9 (SP1) and includes the correct runtime modules. We use the "Modify Report" in a few places to allow the users to adjust layouts to match pre-printed forms (e.g., Cheques, Statements, Bills, etc.) Inhouse, when our...

    Determining scrollbar visibility based on fit

    Hopefully there is a simple way that is just eluding me right now. I am adding a simple form to some projects that will use the _WebBrowser4 ffc to display a pre-selected HTML file that was passed from the calling form as a parameter. (This will be used as a type of dynamic Help instruction...

    "Encrypted" in PJX Project Information resets

    We build our distributable EXEs with the "Encrypted" box checked in the Project Information screen. Lately, we have also checked the DebugInfo box. We have been having an increase of C0000006 errors recently on Windows7 (64-bit) workstations on a few clients running on SBS2008(x64) networks...
