I just found that a form doesn't take the SET PROCEDURE TO line from
the program that calls it.
I have to re-issue the SET PROCEDURE command in form.init() in order
to get things done.
Is there some form properties that control this? Data Environment?
Assuming you don't have a typo that you're not seeing, then it really
sounds like your issue is a pathing problem.
If you only have one SET PROCEDURE call, then it has to be pathing.
It's not a scope problem; SET PROCEDURE is global. Therefore the
location of your procedure file must not be available when the form opens.
I always use the Project Manager to "include" all of my procedure
files, so they will be compiled into the .exe.
My framework code looks something like this:
** Main.prg
LOCAL classpath, progpath
IF _VFP.StartMode = 0 && Running in the IDE
** An earlier version. Actually the current version
** pulls these paths from a ProjectHook subclass.
classpath = "C:\STIC Foxpro Framework\Base Classes\"
progpath = "C:\STIC Foxpro Framework\Programs\"
ELSE
** Running an exe
classpath = ""
progpath = ""
ENDIF
SET CLASSLIB TO (classpath + "sticbase.vcx") ADDITIVE
** etc.
** The fxp file will also work here...
SET PROCEDURE TO (progpath + "handyprocs.prg") ADDITIVE
** etc.
*** Lots more stuff here...
***
***
** My framework form manager class.
oFormMgr.OpenForm("mainwindow")
***
***
** End main.prg
So when the program needs an external path (in the IDE), it has one.
When the program is relying on internally-compiled files, it doesn't
need a path.
I guarantee that if you follow this pattern in your code, it will
work when your form opens.
