Reading documentation; always good times. 😊 Per the Help the thing that gets run from the standard VFP menu is stored in _FOXREF system variable.
I know Jim had a whole how-to for adding a custom menu to the standard sysmenu that was driven out of Thor. Just don't recall where... -- rk From: ProfoxTech <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Kurt Wendt Sent: Monday, May 19, 2025 4:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Code Ref Tool is Broken... Yes - RK - I have been spending HOURS in the VFP Help file today - trying to track down how to look at what VFP is trying to run when I try to run Code Ref from the Tool menu. But, so far I can not find an answer. Also, I think other strange things are happening. I actually turned to my new Best Buddy Claude for assistance. But, so far - striking out. A Lot of the things he is suggesting is not working - even things that VFP help says should work a certain way - is not. I WAS - using the help of Claude - able to Add a New menu item under Tools. I essentially had it run the original FoxRef.app - and that works. So, I could add GoFish to the menu that was. I'm just frustrated that I can't seem to determine what is happening when I use the current Code References menu item. It's VERY Frustrating! Ugh... ________________________________________ From: ProFox on behalf of Richard Kaye Sent: Monday, May 19, 2025 2:38 PM To: mailto:[email protected] Subject: RE: Code Ref Tool is Broken... Curiosity is good. IIRC there's a system variable that determines what happens when you pick Code References from the standard VFP menu but all that stuff should be found in the VFP Help. And you do have the VFPX version of the VFP9 help, yes? 😊 If not, that's also available via Thor. IIRC there are Thor videos and info on how to customize your VFP system menu with Thor tools. Jim Nelson put a great deal of effort into docs for Thor. -- rk From: ProfoxTech <mailto:[email protected]> On Behalf Of Kurt Wendt Sent: Monday, May 19, 2025 2:13 PM To: mailto:[email protected] Subject: Re: Code Ref Tool is Broken... Yes, I did already know of Thor (which is also the name of one of my cousins) - and I did see GoFish can be installed with Thor. But, honestly - I want to better understand why the current Code References tool is running the wrong thing. Am really trying to figure out how to display WHAT the current VFP menu system is trying to do - what or How it's trying to run something strange when I try to select the Code References menu option. I figured that once I see what it's running now - I could then replace it with the GoFish App. I actually did drop GoFish on my PC here at work - and I actually have it running in VFP right now - but, simply by typing: DO "C:\PAKO\GoFish-master\Source\GoFish.APP" If I could change a standard VFP menu drop-down to run GoFish - I think that would be the efficient way to run GoFish!
