Hi everyone,
Push Your VFP App to the next Level: Blur / Acrylic Blur - the VFP developer can use this free DLL WindowComposition.dll to blur every window background under Windows 10 and 11 !!!
Just like e.g. the left side of the Setting Windows or the Taskbar of Windows 10 / 11 !!!
The DLL...
Hi Mike,
I assume Chriss is right in everything he wrote
if you set Desktop = .T., VFP makes the window internally a top level window - not shown in the Taskbar
that's why your code now also works with Windows 7
I believe it even works with Windows 2000, XP and Vista ...

Hi Chriss,
for me IsTopLevelWindow( hWnd ) always returns 1 = .T.
any combinations of ShowWindow = 0, 1, 2 and Destop = .F., .T. => always 1 = .T. ?????????

Hi everyone,
how it works:
1) set the Backcolor of Your Form to colorKey
2) make Your Form a Layered Window
3) set the colorKey of this Layered Window: this makes the Background transparent :-)

Hi Chris,

Hi erveryone,
Just as you can use the normal ProgressBar to create a progress bar on a form, the VFP developer can use this free DLL ProgressTaskbar.dll to visually spice up VFP Apps and create a progress bar in the taskbar of Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11 !!!
Just like e.g. the progress bar...
Hi ducklord,
Your observation is correct :-)
the modification date is updated when the table is closed: manually with USE - or - automatically by VFP
and this is not an issue but a feature: the modification date does not have to be updated for every user change

Hi SitesMasstec,
You can use ATC() instead of AT()
ATC() is NOT case sensitive
using ATC() means, there is no need for LOWER() ... or UPPER()
.SelStart = ( ATC( MyText, THISFORM.txtCobs2.Value ) ) -1

Hi Chris,
I agree with You:
the Microsoft RichTextBox Control Richtx32.ocx is much more comfortable !!! there is no need to know the start position and the length of the searched string
the use of the Microsoft RichTextBox Control Richtx32.ocx is free for VFP developers
the latest version...
Hi SitesMasstec,
You can realize this text highlight for both a native VFP Textbox and a native VFP Editbox
You have to know the start position (x) and the length (y) of the highlight text:
Textbox is named Text1
WITH THISFORM.Text1
.SelStart = x
.SelLength = y
.SetFocus...
Hi Mandy,
THISFORM.Release causes two Form events:
1) Destroy event
2) Unload event
it's a better idea to put
CLOSE DATABASES
CLOSE ALL
into the Unload event
