Visual FoxPro 6.0 Application

We have an application we want to bring to the Web to
present a Marketing Demo of our product. Our app is
written exclusively in "procedural code" - no
utilities for screens or menus and the like.
Could our source code be interpreted by a Java
programmer and converted to a Web Application?anything is possible but possibly not practical. if you have a mess of procedural code that you need to turn into a web application of any sort it will need a redesign and re-write no matter what languages you are going to go to, Java or otherwise.
so the answer really is yes you can most likely find somebody who can do a literal translation from one programming language to another but it is not too likely that this is what you really what to do. what you really want to do is have an existing application redesigned and redployed in different manner on a different platform.

When sending report to Adobe PDF via Visual FoxPro, SAS or other development system, programmatically, I need to suppress the dialog box and send report directly to AdobePDF, create the file. I will choose directory programmatically.

How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) in Visual FoxPro 9

I use ActiveX from Crystal Report Developer XI for viewer in Visual FoxPro 9 and I already know how to show Main Report by using command:
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
Inside the MyReport.rpt there is two subreport name :
1. MySubReport1
2. MySubReport2
My Question is :
How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) at the 1st time we call ViewReport?
I try to using command :
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport1")
oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport2")
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
but only show Main Report (view tab name : Preview)?
Did I miss any command before I call oRptView.ViewReport?

Your right, there is only one tab to view the report.
To open the subreports you will need to click on them in the main report. I don't know of a way to open them programmatically like you are doing here

Integrate Crystal Reports version 11.5 and Visual FoxPro

Post Author: landc50
CA Forum: General
I have developed several softwares in Visual FoxPro while using Crystal Reports Version 7 as the major reporting tool.   It was easy to invoike Crystal reports from my applications, simply by adding the Crystal OCX onto the VFP form.
Now --- I have added the ActiveXReportViewer from version 11.5 onto my VFP form.    Looks ok but it I am not sure how to invoke the reports in Maximized mode.   Seems like it will only show the report the same size as the object I placed on my VFP form.
I need to know how to do this yesterday.   I must implement a new system and I do not want to revert back to Crystal reports version 7.   Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I would recommend you have an empty form and drop the viewer on that form. Set the form's state to Maximize.
Good luck,

Visual Foxpro (VFP): Background color for ResizeCanvas - how?

I'm using Visual Foxpro to automate certain tasks with photoshop.
I can open an image file, save it as something else, extend the canvas, but I cannot set the color for the canvas that gets added.
Somewhere in the application model for Photoshop (CS) must be an object property to set the background color to some kind of value representing for example a certain grey.
Has anybody worked with this
General approach in my VFP-Code:
PUBLIC oPhotoshop
oPhotoshop = CREATEOBJECT( "Photoshop.Application" )
oJPEGSaveOptions = CREATEOBJECT("Photoshop.JPEGSaveOptions")
oJPEGSaveOptions.quality = 8
lnNewH = 800
docRef.resizeCanvas(lnNewH ,lnNewH ,5) && 5 = extend to all sides with active background color
docRef.SAVEAS(lcfilename2, oJPEGSaveOptions, .F.)

This sounds like more of a scripting question than a SDK question, so in JavaScript I would do something like this:
// retrieve the current background color
var oldColor = new SolidColor();
oldColor = app.backgroundColor;
// create a new SolidColor object and assign a color value
var newColor = new SolidColor();
newColor.rgb.red = 100; //or whatever red value you want
newColor.rgb.green = 150; //ditto green
newColor.rgb.blue = 200; //ditto blue
// set the Application backgroundColor property to the new color
app.backgroundColor = newColor;
// do what you gotta do!
// set the Application's backgroundColor back to it's old value
app.backgroundColor = oldColor;
I'm not familiar with using Visual FoxPro as an IDE... If you're using VBA scripting, the syntax will be a little different - but the procedure should be the same. I hope this helps.

How to move data from Sql Server 2008 R2 to Visual Foxpro 6.0 dbf file format

I have some data that resides in SQL that needs to be automated via a SSIS package to create the output to a Visual Foxpro 6.0 format for use by another application that cannot access the SQL server.
How can this be done with SSIS

Can oracle PLSQL program communicate to VFP (Visual Foxpro) Database.

Hello All,
I am using dataabse 9i in windows 2003 - 32 bit server.
I have couple of application in forms and Visual Foxpro(VFP). The VFP program can commucate to the oracle database.
when I am inserting/updating/deleting some data to the oracle database it should insert/update/delete the record in VFP database.
For this I have created triggers in the oracle tables so that when DML oreration are happening in the database it can triggered and same time the VFP tables can be updated by the oracle triggers. But my problem is I am not able to connect to the VFP table from the Oracle.
Any body have any idea on it, Please suggest.
Thanks,
SUN

Oracle has a facility called Heterogeneous Services. It uses odbc or ole to communicate to third party databases.
You need a Foxpro ODBC driver, and you need to set up several Net related files.

Visual FoxPro ODBC Drivers

I've been searching for some time for the ODBC drivers for Visual FoxPro. I see from postings on MSDN that Microsoft suggests using OLEDB instead of ODBC. That is fine if I was coding an application, however I'm trying to interface a data source with an
application that connects to data sources using ODBC connections. Is it possible to have the ODBC drivers for Visual FoxPro made available? I tried to find the drivers online through the Visual FoxPro support site but links kept bouncing back to OLEDB drivers.

Weird,
a few days or at least weeks ago the ODBC download page was available at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vfoxpro/bb190233
which now redirects to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vfoxpro/bb190232
But in a recent experts-exchange thread I posted the direct download link. Get it while you can at:

Visual FoxPro and WebHelp

Is it possible to create WebHelp for a Visual FoxPro application?

WebHelp is really for running from a server so it is best suited to web apps.
CHMs are now really for local installation and thus suited to locally installed applications.
Both can be run locally or from a server but there are issues when not run as above.
I believe Visual FoxPro only generates apps for client installation so CHMs would be the way to go.

Visual Foxpro and Parallels

I'm a total Macbook newbie and a VFP developer. The reason for purchasing the Macbook is to determine whether our Visual Foxpro application will run in Parallels on a Mac. Obviously, this is a marketing opportunity for us that we want to take advantage of if everything works properly.
I've got Parallels installed on my Macbook but I haven't had a chance to install VFP yet. Just thought I'd check to see if anyone else has tried this.

This may not be an immediate answer to your question, but you might want to post as well on the Parallels Desktop for Mac support forum. I did do a quick search for "foxpro" on the forum and only hit a couple of posts, so at the moment there isn't a lot there but it still might be worth a shot posting. The folks who hang out on that form (I do there and here) are generally pretty helpful (OK, I hope I'm helpful .

Visual Foxpro and java

Hi all,
I just have a quick question. I have a stand alone Visual Foxpro project, which I am converting it to a web application and I am using java servlets. I was wondering can I have a java class that after getting the info from the servlet class "passes the info to foxpro class" or "calls a method from a foxpro class"?
I appreciate your reply,
Thanks.

If the FoxPro class is a .dll you should be able to. Google "JACOB Project"

Windows 8.1 - Office 2013 - Visual FoxPro - excel data connection problems

Hi i have an excel document with existing data links to a foxpro database. these links worked on windows 8 with office 2013 but since getting windows 8.1 the links no longer work.
After much searching i have found i need to installed VFPOLEDBSetup.msi
This does not fix the issue. The ODBC Data sources located Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools still have no reference to FoxPro and within excel if i select from other sources and the other/advanced i can see the Microsoft OLE DB
provider for visual fox pro but it crashes excel.
in Windows 8 ODBC Data sources located Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools i have listed two items Visual FoxPro Database and Visual FoxPro Tables but both these are missing in Windows 8.1.
What do i need to do to correct other than not to use Windows 8.1
Many Thanks

This is not obvious. VMware should allow some monitoring which will show the bottle neck. Did you check what VFP command causes these delays? File opening, record/file locking etc?
