    Change display properties programatically

    Do any of you know how one might change display properties programatically, without affecting other windows' windows? Caption Font, color of title bar, etc. Thought it might be interesting to play around with such (non-critical apps, etc.) Thanks in advance, Philip Philip M. Traynor, DPM...

    Report Crashes When Maximimized (Myform.Windowstate=2) ?

    ...Yes, everything was fine in VFP8 after all the VFP and XP-service packs and patches. Then this!: The crash is the same for All my different computers with different printers and all those service packs updated, (even the one with windows 2000.) Windows fatal errors take place only when...

    Desktop Timer (exe) to run 'My.exe'(s)

    I'm experimenting with a DesktopTimer.exe concept to hopefully run other 'My.exe'(s) (backround backups, schedule updates, etc.) and am having frustrations: 1) The Timer class object sticks only to a form (container class); is there another idea for a programatic timer (DOWHILE loops?) to run...

    How might I close all instances of MyApp.Exe from another Exe file?

    Having searched the FAQs, I've experimented with the following, but with no avail. Any suggestions are appreciated in advance. *************************************************** oManager = GETOBJECT("winmgmts:") oApps = oManager.InstancesOf("Win32_process") FOR EACH PROCESS...

    Can reports become images to be made into wallpaper or desktop image?

    I realize this is probably not possible, but: Can reports be made images to be made into wallpaper or a desktop (backround) image. (I currently generate images in the main foxpro window via report writer) Thanks in advance, Phil Philip M. Traynor, DPM www.doctorprofessional.com

    Passing Parameters (or Such) prior to 'My.Exe' Excecuting?

    I'm trying to make several SHORTCUTs (desktop) to cause one .EXE file to perform differently as per each situation: (Currently I replicate My.Exe with My2nd.Exe (My3rd.Exe ...etc.) and use the SYS(16,1) calling program function to differentiate. This is too much memory) I've thought about: 1)...

    DoWhile Loops with XPI calls (in Outlook)?

    This excellent code is borrowed from Mike Lewis for cycling through MS windows in VFP (which Ramani kindly discovered for me). I'm trying to make a VFP function suspend running (i.e., in the DOWHILE LOOP) until the user closes the Outlook Appointment (Inspector) Window. Any help is...

    Cycle through Windows (Captions) in non-VFP Windows?

    VFP can cycle throught forms WITHIN a VFP '_screen' (eg., _screen.form(x).caption loops) ...but can we cycle through windows outside of VFP ...eg an OUTLOOK Inspector window ? (Note: Outlook inspectors do not run as seperate windows processes) Thanks in advance, Philip M. Traynor, DPM...

    Know that an Instance of an MyApp is Already Running?

    An instance of MyApp.Exe can run multiple times (desireable). How might VFP discriminate when there is another instance of MyApp running? Thanks in advance, Philip M. Traynor, DPM www.doctorprofessional.com

    COM a SPECIFIC Excel file into a VFP Form?

    While I can COM a specific Excel file as follows: oExcelSheet=Createobject("excel.application") oExcelSheet.workbooks.Open(myExcelFile) && a memvar path I can't find an Excel COM object in object browser that correctly opens "myExcelFile" above INTO a VFP form. (There...

    Is it worth trying to COM into ACT, Quicken, or Money?

    I have done all my accounting in VFP to speed up the navigation/filtering obstacles of these other venerable programs (venerable enough that they sinchronize with PDAs). Do any of you aspire such COM integration of accounting programs into your apps as I have commensed? You may respond as...

    Synchronizing Outlook, Etc.?

    Synchronizing Outlook (hopefully like a PDA) has been a great challenge. I've reached the point of import/export prototypes only (VFP to/from Outlook), thanks in great part to Mike Gagnon, Ramani, and many of you. PROBLEM: Filter syntax for Number fields with 'RESTRICT' nor 'FIND'. (I get...

    XML Syntax for Node Objects ?

    I'm very new at XML: I'm trying to convert these 2 lines (from MS Outlook terms) into VFP terms to make a node object (B): A) --objXML = New MSXML2.DOMDocument-- B) --objXMLNode = MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode-- I believe the 1st VFP conversion is: A)...

    OUTLOOK: Modifying View Columns Programatically??

    I am trying to modify columns in say a table view of appointments, programtically. Manually, one does this by simply accessing 'define view' under Outlook's View Menu. Consider the basic COM code: oOutlook = Createobject("Outlook.Application") objViews =...

    Outlook: Importing CONTACT ITEMS from HIGHLIGHTED Items only?

    Is there a way to import SELECTED (Highlighted) CONTACT ITEMS (Task items, Appointment items, or whatever) for IMPORTING to VFP? I.e., I would HIGHLIGHT Contact items (within or without an Outlook COM window) and hopefully be able to import these highlighted items only. Even an "I don't...

    Autotext like MS Word? Drag/drop text like Word?

    1) Word has an autotext function wherein a tool tip may be displayed to click/enter a word/phrase for complex words. Fox Advisor has an article that demonstrates pop-down 'phrase menus' (good for many); but this is not like Word. 2)Word and VFP Memo fields both allow one to cut/drag/drop text...

    Outlook Automation: Open an .OFT (template)

    The (generic) code (from Fox Advisor). If any of you have experience with Outlook COM objects: oOutlook = Createobject("outlook.application") oNameSpace = oOutlook.getnamespace("MAPI") oDefaultFolder=oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(10) &&CONTACTS oMsg =...

    Calling OUTLOOK (COM) without MS Exchange Server?

    All VFP-COM objects with MS Outlook seems to require MS Outlook to be installed on every client (assuming if each client wants to publicly share in the COM import/export files from MS Outlook). VFP calls on the CLIENT's Outlook (and NOT the SERVER's Outlook) with commands like: oOutLookObject...

    VFP REPORTS Using OUTLOOK (... Other OLE Data) ?

    This is a general question (for now) for any of you: Peradventure, I'm trying to make VFP reports based on my 'dangerous' knowledge of Visual Basic, COM-Automation, and MS Outlook CONTACTS and/or APPOINTMENTS/SCHEDULES. I suppose one might start by something like: 1) Import OUTLOOK...
