John, I'm using Vista as my main machine now days. I've installed VFP 8 and VFP 9 onto the box. We have another box which we've installed a VFP 6 application and a VFP 3 application. With the VFP 3 application we've needed to set the icon to run in Windows 95 mode. This gets around the 768MB problem of VFP 3.
When running with the Areo theme enabled The IntelliSense Manager window sometimes appears without a border. If you drag this window where the borders go outside the screen borders and back on you'll get artifacts. This is a known bug. Calvin has posted a workaround http://tinyurl.com/2cppln. The baseclasses I use set the borderstyle at runtime. After the borderstyle is changed in the forms INIT, I call the following to fix it. ACTIVATE WINDOW (THIS.Name) IN SCREEN NOSHOW (In a previous post I showed a way for toplevel child forms to properly update) Any dockable form (toolbars, project manager, properties, command window, etc...) drag in a jerky motion and it's difficult to know where they are. Click and release the titlebar to select the window, then moving the mouse sometimes drags the window you clicked on. (To be clear, this drag motion is only seen with dockable forms) Right-click on a open PRG, drag your mouse down, the DO <program.prg> stays highlighted. IntelliSense for a command like SET() will stay highlighted as you arrowdown or drag your mouse over some of the dialogs. This is a known bug. Calvin has posted a workaround http://tinyurl.com/34e8o7. Context Menus (define popup shortcut) will cascading levels do not properly work. This is a known bug. For an example see this thread: http://leafe.com/archives/showMsg/350481 -----Original Message----- From: John J. Mihaljevic Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 8:45 AM Hi all, All of our PCs are running XP, but we're considering new ones that run Vista. Has anyone had any issues running VFP on Vista machines? We've got one system on 6.0 and another one on 9.0. Thanks, much!
