• Visual FoxPro report preview form problem

  I posted a post related to some problem with memo fields in reports. What I've done so far was to create an intermediate table, a workbench with a single field of a character string length 95. When I need to preview or print a memo field I first format it and place every word sequentially in records of that table. It required a bit of coding but now it seems to work. In any event, the problem I am about to inquire is not related to it at all. ...Show All

  Hi I have having trouble getting my hands around how to retrieve variables from a parent package. I read about the Environment variables and Configuration File at the parent package level and the Parent Package variable at the child level. Here are my questions: 1. Can you only store/retrieve 1 variable in a config file at a time 2. Does the child package have to define the variables and if so, do they have to be the same names as th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom Editor

  I am currently trying to integrate a custom editor (for an in house scripting language) within visual studio. The editor itself has been build as a seperate windows application. However, i wanted to convert it into a VSPackage. I have read whatever is available in the VSIP sdk, but that's not much! I have also looked into the basic edit sample (provided with the VSIP sdk), but i somehow feel that it might not be the best way of getting things do ...Show All

• Visual Studio Add a project template in Package.

  I am trying to create a user experience for creating custom workflows inside VS as a custom package. The behavior would essentially be the same as a workflow project, but I'd want to limit the types of activities available in the toolbox, and probably change the properties and commands. Certainly add menu commands. I'd need a custom project template and maybe some custom project item templates as well. The template I probably can create wi ...Show All
