I found this tool on the VFP ProFox downloads page called CLUE. The
description mentions:

"Class Library Utility Extension - A tool I started back in '95 with Tom
Rettig. Never got around to incorporating Tom's prg2vcx into it."

 

I actually downloaded CLUE - and attempted to use it - and confirmed that it
won't actually do the PRG conversion to a VCX.

 

So, I'm now trying to create my own inhouse tool to automate the process of
converting our system from PRG's to (in my case) Forms (SCX). 

 

I created this Basic Form that has a Dummy Title. So, the 1st thing I am
trying to do is just get my tool to read the title in a PRG I want to
convert (I got the proper title) - then update the Properties field in the
proper record in the SCX (and I got that working too). As such, the Caption
item in the properties DOES get properly updated with the new screen Title.
However, if I then open the Form - the title is "garbage". Instead of my
title wording (in this case "Purchase Order") - which should be Centered on
the Form - instead, what's displayed is the word "Label1" - and its sitting
in the upper left corner of the Form! But, if I go back and look at the
Properties field - it looks FINE!

 

Now - here's the REALLY WEIRD part. If I go into properties - and, let's say
- I simply change the Width item - but, change it right back, like doing an
Edit and then an Undo. Now, if I close the SCX - and open it as a Form - the
Title is now correct and centered. JUST by the act of editing the properties
field without ACTUALLY Editing it!

 

Anybody have a clue as to what is going wrong. Its driving me NUTS - and I
would Really like to get this thing to work - as I know when I show my Boss
what I got working - he will be SO THRILLED!!!

 

L8r,

-K-
