RE: Any way to get WAN IP in VFP app?
This will work from within vfp as long as you can create an instance of IE
and the website 'www.whatismyip.com' is up and running. This is quick and
dirty - add your error checking:
*create instance of IE
If Type('OIE')='U'
Public oie
oie=Creat('internetexplorer.application')
OIE.VISIBLE=.T.
ENDIF
lcurl=[http://www.whatismyip.com]
oie.Navigate(lcurl)
* I find you have to have three levels of checking on the web stuff
* first check oie's readystate, then the documents, then the busy state of
IE
Do While oie.readystate<>4
Enddo
Do While oie.Document.readystate<>'complete'
Enddo
Do while oie.busy
Enddo
* you might want to check on the existence of the next line (error trapping)
lc=oie.Document.body.innertext
* If it fails, return 'none'
LCIP='NONE'
FOR i = 1 TO MEMLINES(lc)
lcline=UPPER(MLINE(lc,i))
IF OCCURS('YOUR IP IS',LCLINE)>0
lcip=STRTRAN(lcline,'YOUR IP IS','')
ENDIF
ENDFOR
?LCIP

Not reliable in my tests. I think the best thing to do is perhaps just
do a NavigateTo with some tool of Rick Strahl's wwIPStuff.vcx and scrape
the returned text for the value of "displaycopy" (between the parenthesis).
