I didn't see Jobs presentation on the ipad, just the video on the apple.com/ipad page along with some news write-ups... what I did see from the video was the ability/push to read online magazines, news sources and books. Not being able to run a chat program at the same time I see as a draw-back - not necessarily for me personally, but for younger generations that are constantly communicating on msn I see this as a missing feature. Maybe this is not Apple's target market with this device, or as you say, this is more of a reader device, not a netbook alternative - I was hoping it would be a netbook alternative. Kevin I don't think that this was a limitation; I think that this was a design decision. I've noticed that people who find this a problem tend to be experienced computer users/developers who are looking at this as a netbook alternative, and I think that's not what sort of product they're defining.

Running an application in its own process
I am having issues with a text editor application we run from within our VFP9, SP2 application. It seems the editor is losing key-strokes occasionally. We believe that it may have something to do with the Windows Priority being given to the application. By setting the windows priority to low on the VFP app after it opens the editor, on our test machine all is well. But when I do this same scenario on my desktop, the VFP app's dynamic priority still occasionally peaks above the priority status on the editor (which is left at normal). I have more resources on my desktop, so potentially this is ok in that there are more resources for the dynamic priority of the VFP app to utilize, but I would like to make sure that Windows is considering the editor first before it gives up resources to the VFP app. We run the editor using DECLARE LONG WinExec IN WIN32API AS RunApp ; STRING lpCmdLine, ; LONG nCmdShow When we run the editor in this fashion, the editor shows up under (as a child) the VFP app in Process Explorer. Is there a way to have the editor run in it's own process. Could it be that when it runs as a child of the VFP app, Windows is not considering its resources first?

Looking to optimize a query
VFP 9 SP1... A colleague is looking for a way to optimize a query... a little background - we are looking to allow users to define what records they want to see in our lookup lists. The approach taken so far is to present the admin user with a list of all the lookup records. The admin user than removes all the records they don't want to see. We store these records that were selected NOT to see in a table. The thinking here is that this will be less fields to store - ones they don't want to see as opposed to ones they do want to see. When building the lookup lists, we looked at using a SELECT FROM maintable WHERE field1+field2+field3 NOT IN (SELECT field1+field2+field3 FROM filterlisttable) This SELECT is taking from 3 to 5 seconds (3 seconds with an index, 5 without) on a few thousand records - not ideal. We looked at JOINS but there doesn't seem to be one that handles only returning the records in my left table that aren't in my right table. Any thoughts on an approach to build this SELECT statement to make it faster? Unfortunately at this time, we are also forced with the concatenating of these fields - there is no unique field to pull from. ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Forms order in _VFP
I am working on a FoxPro 9, SP1 application - upgrading the GUI in a big way. We use formsets quite a bit as well as stand-alone forms. I am hitting an issue when opening the same form multiple times. In the previous version, the _vfp.forms() object held the forms in the order they were opened/activated (myform1 and myform2 opened a second time): _vfp.forms(1).name = myform2 _vfp.forms(2).name = myform1 _vfp.forms(3).name = myform3 _vfp.forms(4).name = myform2 _vfp.forms(5).name = myform1 In the current version, the _vfp.forms() object groups the forms by name: _vfp.forms(1).name = myform2 _vfp.forms(2).name = myform2 _vfp.forms(3).name = myform1 _vfp.forms(4).name = myform1 _vfp.forms(5).name = myform3 If I change the names of the forms to be unique so myform1 and myform2 get opened each time with a unique name, the ordering is correct (equal to the previous version). It appears that FoxPro is grouping the forms by name, OR more likely, my code at some point is sending focus to the previous instance of this form before the form is opened a second time. I knew that I was breaking the LisaG rule in at least one place, but removing the code hasn't resolved the issue. I also took a look at the coverage profiler, but I haven't been able to find the culprit yet. Is the ordering of the _vfp.forms only based on the order that the forms are opened or activated?

RE: Integrated Source Control and a Project Hook
Can't really help you on your question as we don't store the project files (pjt and pjx) or the pjm file in CVS. We use PushOK as well, but we weren't sure on the best approach to storing the project files in Source Control. I understood that we should be able to store the pjm file only in Source Control and that this file would be updated as developers made changes to the project and other developers could get the latest copy when joining a project, or the updated pjm at any time. We ran into problems with this approach, as PushOK did not bring down the updated pjm file and merge it into other developer's local project. For a work-around, we have just verbally let everyone know to get a new form (for example) when a new form is added to the project. How have you went about handling this - do you just store the pjm file in source control?

RE: What Project File is selected?

Hi Kevin, I think the reason why the sc files are getting updated on the clear events is because a timer object is getting dumped from memory and in its unload event it tells the sc file to update (or flags it in the changelog file). The timer is used to keep checking to see if the design window for the class library is open so that it knows when you have finished editing the file. In theory you could just edit the files normally without scx and then just before you are about to commit the sc files up, you could then run a command to generate all the sc files. Eg... oFunctions = newobject(sesFunctions, scCommon.prg) lnFiles = ADIR(laFiles , 'c:\classlibs\*.vcx') for x = 1 to lnFiles lcFile = 'c:\classlibs\'+laFiles(x,1) oFucntions.BinToSC(lcFile) endfor Then after checking out you could run... oFunctions = newobject(sesFunctions, scCommon.prg) lnFiles = ADIR(laFiles , 'c:\classlibs\*.sc') for x = 1 to lnFiles lcFile = 'c:\classlibs\'+laFiles(x,1) oFucntions.SCToBin(lcFile) endfor I hope this helps.

Tracy -Original Message- From: Lew Schwartz Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 10:43 AM Subject: RE: List members isn't working Yes, something else. I seem to remember that in VFP6, if any part of a code window had focus, ctrl-J would bring up a drop down that included the current object, all of its contained objects their properties. Selecting one of them would insert a fully qualified reference as code text. Eg even if you were in a form's init, the ctrl-j drop down would allow you to navigate to thisform.mybutton.caption insert the text thisform.mybutton.caption for you.

RE: FoxPro / Igloo / CVS - Questions
Thanks for the feedback Ed - I will take a look at SmartCVS. One more question - does anyone know the difference between the icons in the FoxPro IDE using igloo? Some files have a padlock and some files have a person icon next to them - as far as I can tell, the files are both in the same (unchecked out) state.

You must have a lot of experience with Visual SourceSafe. That product keeps everything off-limits to editing until you check out the file. Most other version controls do not work that way: everything is editable by default. It is up to the project management to manage who is editing which file. This approach works great in the world of text files, where simultaneous editing can usually be easily merged together. It doesn't work so well in the VFP world, where a single file can hold several classes, and the binary nature of the files prevent them from being merged easily. CVS does have the concept of setting yourself as the editor of a file, which will prevent others from checking in their changes, but for VFP files other than PRGs, the best option is to make sure your classlibs are not too broad. 2. Does anyone know how to handle the potential issue of the repository growing substantially with the check in and check out of class libraries (and other files)? Is there any compression utility which can be incorporated with CVS? No, can't say that I have. One option would be to check out a copy at a known point (i.e., after a release), archive the existing repository, and then use the copy as the basis for an import to create a new repository. 3. Does anyone have experience with third party tools to see a more Source Safe GUI or report that will give more information on what developers have what files checked out, etc. I have seen a few in searches on the net - just wondering if anyone has any preferences for certain ones. I use SmartCVS for a Windows GUI for CVS. But to be honest, I rarely use it, preferring to just use TortoiseCVS to integrate version control into Windows Explorer. -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com [excessive quoting removed by server] ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

RE: FoxPro / Igloo / CVS - Questions
Thanks for the link Ted - even though the information was dated, it was still quite relevant. I hadn't integrated the FoxPro IDE with Source Control before (even when I use to use Source Safe), so Update Project List task was quite helpful!

FoxPro / Igloo / CVS - Questions
Hello, It's been a while since I subscribed to this list - I just recently got back into FoxPro development with a new job. We are currently integrating FoxPro with CVS using Jalindi Igloo and I have a few of questions: 1. Is there a way to prevent simultaneous check outs of files for specific modules in CVS? I have seen reference to the cvs admin -L command which seems to allow reserved check outs - does anyone know if this is what I need to set? Also, it must be module specific, as there is another team using CVS that will want to be able to do simultaneous checkouts (as a last resort, we could set up a separate install of the CVS repository for our team). 2. Does anyone know how to handle the potential issue of the repository growing substantially with the check in and check out of class libraries (and other files)? Is there any compression utility which can be incorporated with CVS? 3. Does anyone have experience with third party tools to see a more Source Safe GUI or report that will give more information on what developers have what files checked out, etc. I have seen a few in searches on the net - just wondering if anyone has any preferences for certain ones.
