Re: Stupid form question

[Mike Copeland]

Modal is considered, by me, to be old-school and undesirable. People 
expect to have several forms open on their worksurface and interact 
between them. Just my opinion.

Re: M$ OCX Date Picker Problem!

[Mike Copeland]

Alan,

I use that same control but I haven't had any reports of problems. I 
just checked it and ran through a few tests and it seems to be working 
well.


You're experiencing this on multiple user systems?
Any idea which OS is having problems?

On investigation we use it on our standard date picker control,

RE: M$ OCX Date Picker Problem!

[Kurt Wendt]

I'm really surprised that NOBODY Responded to this thread. Mostly because I 
would be shocked that NOBODY had this problem - as those nobody is using this 
DatePicker control. Can that actually be??

Subject: M$ OCX Date Picker Problem!

Hello there ProFoxers!

1st of all - Happy TGIF!

I'm trying to find out who else may have this particular problem.
Here's the URL to an image of the Date Picker being used within a system here 
at my job:
http://imgur.com/a/ZlGZu

Initially - the problem with the Date Picker caused the system to Crash. Why 
you might ask? Because the system was trying to set a default date for the Date 
picker. This was the specific error that was being thrown:
"Ole IDispatch exception code 0 from DTPicker: A date was 
specified that does not fall within the MinDate and MaxDate properties..."

At first I wasn't sure what was causing the problem. Turns out - I went to 
another screen that had the Date Picker running on it - which is the above 
screen. When I went into that screen - the dates were set to 9/1 - 9/30/16. 
This is because this report is generally run on the 1st of the month for the 
prior month. So - upon trying to set the dates to Oct month range - then the 
problem is apparent. Notice the grey circle around the 25th of the month - 
although you probably can't see it in this screen shot. But, the picker no 
longer allows you to pick ANY Date Beyond the 25th of October!  And, trying to 
set the default date to end of Oct. during the startup of another report screen 
- That is what caused it to Crash.

Needless to say - this is an OCX from M$ - and its fairly standard. So - I 
figured others may be using it in their systems - which are May NOT be FoxPro 
systems. If so - you will ALSO have the problem.

So - I'm curious - has anyone else here experienced the problem?

Thanks!

Stupid form question

[Adam Buckland]

Final job before I leave this gig after 24 years...

This shown how little code I've done in the last x years...

I've got a menu that calls a form ivied:   DO FORM weekref.scx

However when it runs as an executable yes it calls the form but then hands 
control straight back to the menu so you can't actually do anything with the 
form.

What is the stupidly obvious thing I'm not doing please???

TIA

Adam.

Well, looking at what's out there in terms of options personally I would
create a C# DLL to do it, there are a few examples on StackOverflow that
seem to work.

YMMV
