RE: Date / Date Time Picker Class

[Richard Kaye]

I use the dtperiod container class. Jun tends to use object properties as 
opposed to control values. dtFrom.Value and dtTo.Value are what I get or set 
for dtPeriod.

+1 to Woody's comment. There are a lot of really cool things in the ssUltimate 
classes and the cost to subscribe is nominal.

I have just had a play around with the DTPicker VFP example which is good but 
when I try and use that on my own form it reports that value is readonly

Basically I need to set this control to an empty date when adding a new record 
or set it to a date from an existing record in a table as it doesn't seem to 
support control source

Anyone out there working with ole dtpicker?

Thanks

Chris.

A lot of Jun's stuff is on VFPX. The correct download area for those should be 
www.VFPX.org, then look for "ssClasses", 

which will bring you to
https://github.com/VFPX/ssClasses


Unfortunately, the DateTime picker is not part of those:
http://sandstorm36.blogspot.de/2017/12/dtpickerx-december-2017-version.html

You need to subscribe to his "Ultimate Library":
http://sandstorm36.blogspot.de/2015/12/whats-on-ssultimate-library.html
Which is absolutely worth the money.
You surely will have a different mindset about his usage of colors, fonts and 
bitmaps, but those you always can change to your likings :)

Re: [NF] Reporting in Python (Django)

[Ricardo Araoz]

I've checked it out, I can see your point, it's a beautiful tool, but 
too many dependencies and a long product chain.
For simple database reports (that would be 98% of the time) I'll work 
with xlsxwriter and PollyReports which is close to the fox style but 
stays within python and keeps the design of your report and it's 
parameters within the language and will be easily portable.
Regarding the remaining 2% if I can't dodge the bullet I'll probably end 
up doing what you suggest (thanks for the tips Ajit, hadn't heard about 
until you mentioned it)


Cheers

Gaetan's Appy Framework does exactly that. It works with odt documents.
For simple reporting, it is ok. But for complex reports(which is easy 
in VFP), I found that had to do too much of tinkering.

Also it needs Libreoffice to run in silent mode to generate the pdf.

check out PollyReports which is not a graphical tool but a python lib 



Simply put, I have been spoilt by VFP. Hence hunting for the GUI

Ok. Seems that I will settle in for JasperReport.
These are the steps:
1. Prepare the data in XML format (Thanks to yattag library)
Along with the table data, I can pass adhoc values like the report 
title etc
2. Design the report through the free JasperStudio (same like VFP 
report design tool)
3. Generate PDF through Jadson Ribeiro's pyreport which is a wrapper 
for JasperStarter command-line tool.
This generates the PDF without any reporting service running in the 
background.

[Stephen Russell]

Happy Happy Joy Joy they say.  Needing 3 server environments to dev, test
as well as prod because one upgrade or update can screw things up.  Been
there and done that.

Re: [NF] Reporting in Python (Django)

I've used JasperStudio alongside Servoy (which is essentially a Java/Apache 
stack) to do this and it was the path of least resistance. Once it was up and 
going it has worked fine creating complicated invoice PDF files  on demand from 
a database.

But as is the way with development nowadays it's adding at least one other 
third-party layer of dependencies into a toolkit that is already a mountain of 
third party dependencies, and you're multiplying the potential points of 
failure all the time. In this particular scenario you could update Java and the 
whole thing might collapse.

Re: [NF] I liked this...

[Kurt at VR-FX]

Andy - very interesting indeed. The whole webpage write-up about the 
book seems like a bit of a spoiler. But, then at one point they stop 
relaying the story - so that they didn't relay any spoilers.


The writer, Carlos Bueno - his name sounds REALLY Familiar.

Anyway - sounds like a cool book. Too bad it wasn't avail. years ago - 
as I would surely have gotten it for my son. He's way too old for it now 
- as he is 16 - and he is already WELL Versed in programming - since he 
did Python last summer for an Internship at Brookhaven Natl Labs in LI - 
working with a researcher doing research on some special atoms!
