I'm trying to program an *autocomplete* (for medical terms) with an Edit Object (Memo field); its getting tricky. Any suggestions are appreciated in advance. Ideally, we'd be able to: (1) Start typing in a word and it finishes the word, to *stuff* it in the paragraph. Currently I'm using the...

1) TIFF conversion seems to have problems with large Bitmaps in reports. 2) TIFF conversion must condense out data when a report file is cluttered against page margins. Any of you have this problem ?

I've condensed 'MY.EXE' down to 3 Mbytes and 550 symbols (VFP9). I've packed/cleaned classes and do use a single 'LIBS' folder (vs. the VFP\FFC folder). Likewise, Included Bitmaps and Reports are not very large. Is the App too big? I'm paranoid about bloating up redundant classes from the...

I just installed VFP9 over VFP8 and things were fine. Then I uninstalled VFP8 (which I probably should have done 1st). I then tried to launch an exe on another computer and got the message: "Cannot Locate the Microsoft Visual FoxPro support library" So, I uninstalled and reinstalled VFP9...

Are my COM commands for Outlook XP OK for Outlook 2003, etc. I noticed my COM commands for Outlook 2000 don't work at all.

In non-grid field-controls I've used date fields with 'FORMAT'='YL' (this being Windows long date format). This is rough because of Window's 'Region' variances in Control Panel. I've tried the below expression and it fails with error message "Not a variable reference"...

After lurking a bit on the thread "Install a Font" I wondered: Might it be feasible to change the "Long Date" setting programatically using API calls. Any wild ideas would certainly be appreciated? Thanks, Philip

Probably a simple question to most LAN networkers: I use ROUTER: "D-Link AirPlus Extreme" in a building with many cement walls. How might one extend his/her wireless network-signal well beyond the "100-150 ft." limit? I.e, I hope to somehow extend from a router socket via a long CAT5e cable...

My exe(s) bloat in memory after every compile; that is to say they increment in size and become HUGE after each compile. The only way I've been able to reduce them afresh has been to go to CLASS BROWSER and hit the 'X' button ("Clean up Class Library") ... then recompile. Any other suggestions...

I apologize in advance for the generality (non-descriptness) of this question. Before re-inventing the wheel (on any level), do any of you have any ideas, opinions, etc. on VFP and Signature Capture? Based on your feedback I'll try to refine the question. The objective is to have a...

Having studied the API concepts I still can't figure it: (i.e., www.news2news.com/vfp/?example=418&function=39) Do any of you know how to extend Messagebox Captions a little ('Yes', 'No', 'OK', etc.) using WinAPI functions? Thanks, Philip

Any suggestions on programmatically (safely) closing non-VFP and/or VFP apps: i.e., "Calculator","MyExtra.exe", etc.? ... ******************* The following API calls does bring the Calculator window to top (but doesn't attempt to close it) DECLARE Long FindWindow in Win32API String, String...

I (foolishly) experimented with the following code: oManager = GETOBJECT("winmgmts:") oApps = oManager.InstancesOf("Win32_process") lfound=0 FOR EACH PROCESS IN oApps IF MY.EXE' $ UPPER(PROCESS.NAME); Process.delete("Wind32_process") &&BIG MISTAKE! ENDIF NEXT EVEN AFTER...

Are any of you aware of any Win32API Function web sites where I can learn more of their use (without paying $80/year) http://www.news2news.com seems great but I'm not sure I should pay for it. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to change table data using an Update Trigger or similar record validation in 'MODIFY STRUCTURE'. When I call on a UDF that replaces a record in a field I get: "Trigger failed: table is read only". Of course this makes sense since changing the record would become nested. I...

My computers (a Laptop with XP, a Dell with XP and a client with W2000) often won't launch 'my.Exe' on Top while it contains an embedded Outlook Ole Object? All Other '*.exes' launch on top of other Desktop Windows. Any ideas on how to consistently launch an Outlook embedded 'my.exe' on top of...

I've done a fair amount of COM automation using Outlook objects and thought it would be more savy to use my.exe (VFP-8) as a COM object in OUTLOOK. (i.e., to place My.exe within a Contact Form and/or Appointment Form. FoxAdvisor's April 04 issue discussed a VFP 'exe' as it was used as a COM...

I've tried to avoid bothersome (app startup) flickers by: placing commands _screen.visible=.F. and _screen.lockscreen=.T. immediately in the main.prg(s). This workaround helps but does not completely stop the bothersome startup blinking/flickering that occurs ... that is to say, VFP has a...

I've programmed and re-programmed in VFP, VBS script, Html, and COM for about 12 years and haven't yet understood SQL concepts per se. I haven't yet tried the Upscale Wizard for converting VFP to SQL: Some basic questions: Is upscaling (using the Wizard) to SQL a seemless operation with...

Is there any way to perhaps TURN OFF birthday reminders in Outlook? (My calendar gets cluttered with these). Thanks much in advance. Philip
