    How to use static library libzip.lib in a new DLL project

    I discovered git repositories that alleviate building Dynamic and static versions of zlib and libzip: https://github.com/kiyolee/zlib-win-build https://github.com/kiyolee/libzip-win-build To be precise, these projects build from the get go with no problems in their VS2022 version (at least, I...

    Are you interested in this forum?

    I think this forum is quite dead and may be closed/archived? I may be part of this, repelling people, sorry if that's the case, but the post frequency was already low before tha last thread, too. The one really nice puzzle for programmers site is https://projecteuler.net/about']Project...

    ActiveVFP

    After ravicoder asked about ActiveVFP in thread184-1830634 I looked a bit into it. This is not a full review of ActiveVFP, but what I found out is: 1. The GitHub repository https://github.com/claudefox/ActiveVFP is inactive, there was no action since 11 years ago. 2. The GitHub originated at...

    ODBC specifications

    I wondered about the latest posts about MySQL driver problems, and I'm not sure if I'm even on the right track. It's awkjward the MySQL driver version 8.0.33 works and 8.0.35 does not. One hint is that there's a gap, no version 8.0.34 wsa released, see...

    A way to have GetAll() by using SetAll()

    In thread184-1826223 (which by the way earns more credit to Gerrit Broekhuis) I indicated that the SetAll method could be used to implement a GetAll(), too. Here's the principle by which that would work: Using the SetAll() method you can only set all properties of a specific name and - if you...

    VFPX pj2 conversion to pjx

    I actually just explained how to do this in thread184-1821580, but I still have a general question: Is there is any general wiki/howto about VFPX github integration with VFP overarching all projects? Not only on the topic of using foxbin2prg to convert binaries (pjx, scx, vcx) to text usable...

    DPI awareness manager questions

    I want to continue the discussion from the previous thread thread184-1821304 Summary I would first like to summarize what I think is best to do with lower effort and when to go "full in" with all efforts to make an application dpi aware. First, to summarize what I see in FoxyPreviewer is not...

    Parallel processing

    Within thread184-1820648 a lot of ideas were posted about the need Griff has to process data to very many PDFs. In the end, it has become a bit too convoluted for me, and I don't hide the fact I'm embarrassed by the confusion I had and caused already, so I opted out. But I wanted to pull...

    How to log cyclic with a predetermined fixed log size, maintenance free.

    Here's a short demo of fixed-size logging with a DBF log file. The main idea is to populate a fixed number of log records, which means the log table will already start with a specified size to fit in as many messages as you want to be able to look back. This size then is kept constant. At least...

    Multiprocessing with a COM Server

    I programmed something for which I saw a demand from a few past threads about parallel processing, which are: thread184-1817657 thread184-1819600 thread184-1819365 thread184-1818385 So this is for anybody interested in parallel code execution. And I know I could point out several things...

    That egg didn't age well...

    ...but it's still there: ACTIVATE WINDOW puzzle The title bar is merely usable to drag the window as the title bar is dominated by the title bar buttons. Shuffle, play a little, then suddenly win with CTRL+END. <- And that's the easter egg The only other according to...

    another pack alternative

    Her's the continuation of Using low level file operations on the dbf file instead of SCATTER/GATHER. Pros: 1. Even faster, as it doesn't touch cdx or fpt, any usual updates of indexes and memo file by scatter are avoided. 2. The readonly nature of autoinc fields is overcome 3. No index...

    pack a dbf in shared mode

    Well, at least mostly in shared mode. An idea to do PACK without exclusive access is to fill the gaps from deleted rows by moving undeleted rows into these gaps. Eventually all deleted records are at the end of the DBF and it can be truncated. That still needs write access - exclusive access -...

    More English dictionary fun

    Based on a file that contains 194,000 English words, Mike Lewis mentioned in thread1551-1811770 I mentioned a spin off question to his question about all words in the graph L - A - R | x | x | C - O - I | x | x | T - A - F What letters in which arrangement allow to build the most words? I...
