Re: Lister program for VFP code
Something like this might get you some of the way:
lcHeadings = set("HEADINGS")
set headings on
type "my_prg_file.prg" to printer auto prompt number
set headings &lcHeadings
So that will print out the prg, with a heading containing the filename and
date\time, wrap long lines, include line numbers and prompt for the printer.

The thing about Outlook automation is that its days are probably numbered in the medium to long term.

WRT large memory allocation, try throwing a sys(1104) in maybe. "Purges memory cached by programs and data, and clears and refreshes buffers for open tables. You can improve performance by calling SYS(1104) after executing commands that make extensive use of memory buffers. This function also clears internal buffers for open tables, forcing the tables to be refreshed, which is useful with large tables and in multiuser environments." -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dfeb5c23-cef6-4e43-9ad7-e4dbaa663...@app.fastmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Then an append method like:

Which updates the log file like:

If I needed features like logging to a table, different log levels and so forth

Re: Fun with .Net DLLs
Richard
I assume you created a project of type 'Class Library'. No you can't debug
those, you need to host it in some other sort of exectuable project. To debug
that you either need to add another project of a type that is executable to
your solution (like a Windows Forms, WPF or Console application) and reference
the output from the first project in that, so you can test it. You need to
right-click on that project in Solution Explorer and select 'Set As Startup
Project'.
Normally I would recommend to test it on the .NET side you actually use a
proper testing framework like MSTest or NUnit. However what you're trying to
really needs to be checked visually so that's probably overkill initially.
Did you make the relevant methods COM-visible, i.e. like:
[ComVisible(true)]
[Guid("8C019E76-59BE-43A6-9DD9-66F7C9CAE67B")]
[ProgId("MyApp.ExcelConvert")]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)]
[ComSourceInterfaces(typeof(IExcelConvertEvents))]
public class ExcelConvertHelper
{
...
}
I must confess I've never gotten the wwDotNetBridge registration-free COM to
work. I've always had to add an installer project in .NET and just make users
install and register the assembly.
Don't forget you have to build it as 32-bit to use it from VFP.

Re: Equation solving from VFP
Thinking aloud, if you could guarantee 32-bit Excel was available you could
probably use Excel automation to do it, i.e.
Create a Workbook programmatically
Fill defined cells with your input values
Do a Goal Seek with result in a defined cell
Read that value back to VFP.
Range("B4").GoalSeek Goal:=-900, ChangingCell:=Range("B3")

Re: dreaming of vfp and vscode integration
Jeff I had a play around with this last year. It involved creating a VS Code build task, which in turn ran a VBScript (.vbs) script. The script took the .PRG filename as an argument and created a VFP COM object, then told that to compile the .PRG. Given the above and the Visual FoxPro syntax highlighting plugin for VS Code, it worked well enough for individual files. However it didn't help with code in visual elements like form classes and that's the show-stopper with trying to use external editors with VFP. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/adc29883-2ee3-456d-9641-43de95414...@app.fastmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Creating a hyperlink on a PDF via XFRX.
I'm reporting to PDF using XFRX. I need to create a hyperlink to an internet URL. The method XFRX uses for this is via a string in the Comments field of a report expression, so for example if I add a report expression with value = "Click Here" and put this in the comments: #UR A HREF="https://www.rte.ie"; <https://tinyurl.com/yfzyu2s9> Then the created PDF will have a clickable "Click Here" link to that site. However I need to take the URL from a table field, i.e. not a static string, but I can't get it to work. I've tried: #UR A HREF=#+mytable.myfield #UR A HREF=mytable.myfield #UR A HREF=eval(mytable.myfield) Has anyone ever done this ? -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/a05f8d3a-f5c3-4ddc-9d44-cade907b7...@www.fastmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Probably the easiest way is just trying to open it and trapping the error. So assuming you know the file exists then lnHandle = fopen(lcMyFileName) if lnHandle = -1 * -- The file couldn't be opened so is open somewhere else. else fclose(lnHandle) endif To close it you would have to find the file handle from the other process, i.e. whatever they're using to read PDF files, and use the Windows API to close that handle.

For serious LOB applications for end users you or your customer would need the full PowerApps on your Office 365 subscription.

Report to Microsoft PDF Printer creates text as images.
We have a customer who when printing a particular report from a Visual Foxpro application sometimes selects the Microsoft PDF Printer (installed with MS Office). This then prompts for a PDF file to save the report output to. They then open the PDF in Acrobat Reader or whatever and need to select and copy some text from it. The problem is that sometimes the PDF is rendered as an image so no individual elements are selectable in Acrobat Reader. All fonts on the layout are standard Arial. There are no settings on the PDF printer to adjust and nothing on the VFP side that I can see would affect it. Replicating this process with the report layouts in question on my PC works fine.

Re: [NF] Help With VB.Net
Assuming you are using Windows Forms and not WPF ...
You can detect an 'Enter' keypress via the KeyPress event.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(sender As Object, e As KeyPressEventArgs)
Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then
MessageBox.Show("Enter")
End If
End Sub
That won't detect focus leaving the textbox via tab or mouse click etc though.
For that you might have to use the Validating event.
Private Sub TextBox1_Validating(sender As Object, e As
System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Validating
Dim isValid As Boolean
isValid = True ' Check what you need to check here.
If isValid = False Then
e.Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

I bet an off the shelf 32 bit consumer SKU would work. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm On Thu, 4 Nov 2021, at 2:38 PM, Philip Borkholder wrote: > Hello, > > I have a customer who is still running a FoxPro 2.6 application and has > been for years. > Their hardware is getting old and their IT/Network group is telling me > that they've tried to install WIndows 10 32 bit on several new > workstations and both Intel and AMD CPU based PC's are denying the > ability to install the 32 bit version of Windows 10. > They say neither AMD nor Intel are allowing the 32 bit installation to > start. > > Has anyone run into this recently?

VFP equivalent of SQL Server 'script table'
In MSSQL you can script a table out to a Transact SQL script, including all CREATE statements and multiple INSERT statements for the data. Is there a VFP equivalent that anyone knows of? This is for including test data in source control, it's better to have a PRG that can generate the database than adding binary DBF files etc. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/c8289ef0-1f85-4355-aaa6-8e3d9891b...@www.fastmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: Retire the CSV?
Can relate, however despite all its many drawbacks it will never die because: It's easy for non programmers to read and understand, as opposed to the hierarchical structure of JSON and XML. It's easy for non programmers to generate, or easy to make third-party applications generate if they have any sort of built-in report generating at all.

Re: [NF] Winforms
It's been many years since I used WinForms but if I remember visual inheritance and WinForms designer support in Visual Studio don't work the same as you would be used to from VFP or VB6. Basically you have to programmatically add designer support, or as you say programmatically update any control properties you want to change. WPF and its successors are much better in this regard. ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/f29ec5af-8c25-410a-87a7-ef2e40794...@www.fastmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
