• Khaja Imtiyaz Day Time Picker little trouble.

  Back in Visual dBase days we used regular spinners for dates but here in Fox the spinners do not seem to like dealing with anything but numeric values. I placed three day/time picker controls on two different containers that are supposed to become visible or invisible depending on some buttons being pressed. I am certain the pickers' parents are the containers however when I make the containers invisible (setting .visible to .F.) the pickers sta ...Show All

• Trane Co Engineer Don Embed a report into a form…

  i would like to Embed a report into a form… Is this possible If so how Thanks Sammy Not quite sure what you mean here. A report is either printed, run to file, or run to preview.

• RobinLennox Performance of VFP 5.0 vs. VFP 9.0

Assume free tables being used initially. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Performance is good in general but I never thought it as the primary reason to make a move. Your existing code might not be fully compatib ...Show All

  I am writing a FoxPro program that uses the Microsoft Excel component in order to generate a XLS file.

  Working with the treeView Control I ran into an unexpected problem. It appears to be impossible to collapse a node branch programmatically. Collapse is an event, not a method and when I tried to use it as a method I could not get anywhere. I also tried to employ DblClick with the same negative result--the tree does not budge. Aside from Collapse I will need Expand as a method not event, although I am using it as even already. The expansion ...Show All
