That's true, maybe we should just leave it alone. But I think some of our software users don't know about the thumbnail view feature and be nice to make it clear to them.

Can you set the default folder viewing option in VFP?

Hello, I use a getpict command to select and image but for some reason it always displays the image files in list format and not thumbnail format. How can I get the thumbnail format? The VFP 9 help file states: You can preview images in Windows 2000 and later by clicking the View Menu icon...

I was looking for "crop to fit" feature like my Corel Photo program has. When I insert a portrait image in the 4x6 print template, it crops off both sides of the pic and centers the image perfectly. In our Foxpro case, you would only see the left hand side of the image and not the center part.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately "Clip Picture" doesn't work because it doesn't resize the photo, it just clips it so all you would see in a full size image of someone is the left side of their head and shoulder and not the full body shot. Images are all different sizes (some landscape...

Hello, We have created a report that prints a detailed customer record. The report consists of customer info along with an image of the customer. My question is that for the image properties, we are using "scale contents, retain the shape". But when we do this, we leave to much white space...

Thanks for all the help. I see what you're saying now and that would work in my case as we speak. In the future we plan on bundling up the software package and selling it to potentially 100's of other companies. I don't think the above would work then because we couldn't setup a customized...

Thanks for the help. I think what jrbbldr said about the Command Language (PCL) commands is what we might need. But I'm not sure. Our client sometimes prints in high quality and other times at the regular lower default setting. He does need to print several reports in "high quality" on...

Is there a way to keep the printer property settings? For instance, our client often times prints using a "high quality" setting. Each time they print, they have to reselect this setting as the default standard setting is always selected. Any ideas? We are using VFP 9.

Hello, We just installed VFP 9 and from what we understand you can have the user change the font color and type within the reports. On the form we used the color picker command and font selector but can't figure out how to carry the variables to the report. I think we need to do something...

Thanks Mike for the help. But I don't believe the link really is the solution we're looking for. We have actually developed a consumer application and installing NT on the client machine is not an option. Any other ideas? Thanks and we appreciate your help.

Is it possible to have a menu (File Edit Help Etc)at the top and not have two windows. Right now we have two closable windows, one for the form and the other for the main window which consists of the menu. Can you some how put the menu at form level? Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks Ramani for the quick response. I placed this code in my starter program and the minimize, max, and close (X) disappeared. So I changed the code to: _screen.controlbox = .t. _screen.closable = .t. Now I can see the X. But when I click it, it states it cannot close Visual Fox Pro...

Hello, I would like to have the user be able to close my program by clicking on the very top right X of the program. Right now it is not activated and therefore you can't click on it. I built a menu with the menu designer and can't figure out the control to make the X clickable. I've...

Thanks guys for all your help. I appreciate it. Unfortunately I'm going to keep going with what I have. If you try to load images in a grid, it takes too long because of fox resizing each picture. When pictures are displayed as thumbnails inside a web browser, they pop up almost instantly...
