    Help me KISS please

    Oh, and I am using VFP 6.0 if that makes a difference.

    Help me KISS please

    How do I hide the tabs? That's the same thing my boss said to me today so I switched to multiple forms in a FormSet instead of using the pages on a page frame. Is there any difference between using the pageframe and multiple forms? Also, what Mover class are you talking about? I am sorry but...

    Help me KISS please

    Alright, the current form I am working on is a pageframe with 3 pages. On the first page is a grid and 2 command buttons. The buttons allow you to add/edit records that are displayed in the grid. On the second page are all of the labels and text boxes in the table that are disabled until...

    XMLToCursor but no cursor

    While I don't have a vast experience with runtimes, and certainly not VFP runtimes, I have worked on a couple open-source projects that had to be updated every couple of weeks or so due to changes on the server. When the server would go down and come back up (program needed a patch to work...

    Grid rows alternating colors

    I can't seem to get your suggestion to work, no matter what syntax I try. I'm using VFP 6.0 if that makes any difference. I made a view, included all of the fields from the table, and it displays fine in the grid, but the code won't work to change the sort order.

    Views....why?

    Can someone explain to me the concept of views and why/when you want to use them compared to regular tables? It seems to me that views and tables are very similar, and perhaps my preference is just to use tables over views, but if I am misunderstanding something, I don't want to be cutting...

    Grid rows alternating colors

    Right now I have my grid setup so that the rows alternate colors based on recno. It works great, except for when I sort the table any other way than on the primary index. Is there any way I can get each row to alternate colors regardless of how the table is sorted?

    Grids and pageframes and editing information

    OK, nevermind I finally got the code in the right place. For anyone else that was wondering how to do this, simply put This.refresh in the Activate event of the page that you want to display the information on.

    Grids and pageframes and editing information

    I have a 2 page pageframe. On the first page is a grid that is tied to the VEHMAST table in the DSD database. This grid shows all of the current inventory entered. The 2nd page has all of the little details such as price, cost, vehicle location, options, etc. I used to have it so that when...

    Adding a record via a seperate form

    I am not planning on modifying that specific class, if I was going to do anything I would make a new class, copy over the code, and then start changing things.

    Adding a record via a seperate form

    What would help me a lot more is to understand what is going on when I click those buttons, instead of just using the wizard standard buttons, actually being able to see the code that is executed each time I click on Add or Save or Edit, is there any way I can see that?

    Adding a record via a seperate form

    Ok, that helps, but it's still not quite how I want it to be. Now when I click on the Add button, it does switch over to the second page and bring up blank fields to be entered, however now I need a button on the 2nd page to save the changes, I assume I can do the same thing that I did the...

    Adding a record via a seperate form

    I have a pageframe setup with 2 pages. The first page is a grid with all the records showing. The second page shows all of the specifics about the record that was selected on the first page. The second page was also created by the VFP wizard, and therefore has the standard button et with...
