OK, I always thought that DE controls had an Activate. It seems they do not, but I *have* had activate code getting executed. I put the code in the control's gotfocus in my app where it had not worked in my concept test code, and it worked. The big difference between my concept test code and my app code is that the former does not use pageframes and the latter does. Does that make any difference? Sincerely, Gene Wirchnko </pre> Gene Wirchenko 2013-05-16T19:24:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.foxpro.profox/121916 <pre>Dear Vixens and Reynards: By cutting out the explicit setting of focus, I have gotten a different result. Now, on form input start, the activate for the first control does not fire, so my selection code is not executed. It is executed if I leave the control and come back to it. Does anyone know what is going on? Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko </pre> Gene Wirchenko 2013-05-16T19:14:38 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.foxpro.profox/121915 <pre>Dear Vixens and Reynards: I am doing some clean-up of forms. On one form's date control, on entry to the field, the cursor should be set to just before the day part of the date. I was previously doing this with the keyboard command. I had tried .selstart and .sellength, but it did not work. It turns out that .gotfocus is the wrong event for it. It is .activate that you have to put the selection code in. This worked fine in tests. Unfortunately, in the form, this is the first control. For some reason, it does not work. If I swap the first two controls, then it does work. This will not be acceptable for the production app though. The .activate code does execute, but it does not select. Instead, the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the field. How do I get .selstart and .sellength to work right? I suppose it could be something in my form framework code, but I have been wrestling with this this morning, and if it is a VFP quirk instead one </pre> Gene Wirchenko 2013-05-16T19:05:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.foxpro.profox/121897 <pre>Guys, I've just been asked by someone to connect to their webservices and consume some info. I have tried all the std demos that seem to be available after trawling through the interweb but can't even get a start on how to understand the damned thing along with Soap etc... I know Allen (if he is around) has done lots of work with web services and his feedback has not been complimentary to the technology at times so has anyone got a very simple bit of code for a web service that actually works to get me started. I did have a VFP examplel onto the Daily Dilbert that I downloaded some time ago but that is dead now for the code that I have and something like that would be really helpful. On most of the examples I get as far as: loWS = NEWOBJECT("WSHandler",IIF(VERSION(2)=0,"",HOME()+"FFC\")+"_ws3client.vcx") This does creat an loWS object but when I create the actual client.. eg (for one downloaded example that doesn't work): loZipWS = loWS.SetupClient("http://webservices.eraserver.net/zipcoderesolver/zipco</pre> Dave Crozier 2013-05-16T09:28:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.foxpro.profox/121886 <pre>Does anyone have suggestions on how to display a PDF from VFP?

So - We are now doing testing of the new screens - and my Boss noticed that the Fonts on the screen looked like SHIT when running on WinXP - even the SAME Screen design looked just FINE when running under Win7. All our Dev. here is done on Win7 PC's. But, we also have an XP machine here they use for testing &amp; Client support. And, since many of the clients still use XP - the programs must work under Win7 &amp; XP. The font I'm using for the main screen field labels is Arial - 12 - not Bold. When view on XP - they come out looking REALLY Skinny! Also, the font on the menu buttons - is Times New Roman - 12 - Bold Italic. The buttons look Great on Win7 - but, under XP - they actually look fuzzy - almost like I am looking at a screenshot image with Compression Artifacts - even though I am actually looking at a running system. Am open to suggestions!

I just did another Test - with another column of labels on the same Screen - I LEFT Aligned them - ran a test - and they stay aligned when the screen Expands. So - obviously - the problem ONLY Occurs with Labels that are Right aligned. And, I also figure I understand Why it happens - probably related to the Anchoring of those Labels (just a WAG). RK - I know you've been doing a lot work with the Resizer thing. So - I was curious if YOU came across this problem before - and, if so - how did you resolve it? Unless you simply don't Right Align labels...

The form is a very simple form with about 15 Text boxes I have tried the _screen.mousePointers=10 and various other numbers, but it does not give me what I'm after. (In the init of the form) It displays a different mouse pointer in my command window, but not in the form Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong ? </pre> Sytze de Boer 2013-05-14T21:44:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.foxpro.profox/121846 <pre>Is there an easy way to send a report to a document and then make it into a pdf instead of printing. I want to email some 2-col reports instead of snail mail hard copy reports. The hard way. export to text fle, import to word, select all, make 2-col, save as doc, open with open office, export to pdf. I know, get word-10, but they hid all of my macro toys and I hate it.

I think it WAS Mentioned here on the Forum not too long ago. Like, if all the TextBoxes on a Form start off as Read-Only. But, if the User hits a Modify button on the screen - and therefore we need to Flip ALL Text Boxes to allow the user to Edit the contents. I suspect it's a One line command - but, not sure what it is - and, not even sure where to look in online help for something like.

My current thought is to have the system maintain a table of the output IIF files created with file name, creation timestamp and transfer timestamp. This information will allow the system to refuse further processing until the previous file has been transferred. The system would scan the log file for records with an empty transfer timestamp field and do an API call to get the files last accessed time. The value would then be plugged into the log file record if it is later than the creation date. I'm hoping that I can read the file properties from the OS to get the last access time without changing the value of the field. I also hope the import operation from Quick Books will update the last access time. Googling gave me bad news about the time not being reliable, the copy operation not updating the last accessed property, and different behavior in different versions of Windows.

In a read, waiting on several fields what is the behavior called that moves the cursor to the next field (with out a tab) when it is filled in. Old VFP6 app, normal behavior is for the cursor to advance. Have two users where this isn't happening .... 8-( Set confirm on?

I'm trying to deploy FoxCharts in a web application. It runs fine on my Win7 machine but when I deploy to a Win2K3 server, I'm getting an error in imgCanvas.CreateOSB() on line 18 |WITH _Screen.System.Drawing| I'm getting "Error Number: 1925" which is "Error: Unknown member SYSTEM." Would the server have a difference between _Screen.System on Win7 and Win2K3 Server? Hard to believe. I must be missing something.
