Comment on Visual FoxPro on Windows 8 by admin

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:04:52 +0000

All I can tell you is that I installed the Developer Preview of Windows 8 on a virtual machine using Virtual Box. I then installed VFP9, and applied Service Pack 2, as well as all the HotFixes that have been released for VFP9.

You can see the hotfix list and links here: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~CurrentVersion

Make sure you version says 09.00.0000.7423

As I recall, the VFP installation installed a few .Net thinhs as well, but I don’t remember the details.

Good luck, and let us know if you get it running.

I’m trying to get this to work myself – when I run it I get a c000005 error right after the splash screen – can you tell me the steps you did to install?

Thanks!

Comment on Using Linq to count rows in a DataTable based on a field value by admin

That is a formatting mistake where I have accidentally pasted in some html code. I will fix it.

It should read:

int linqCount2 = dt.AsEnumerable().Where(c.Field("nMenuLevel") == 2).Count();

To update this post, I probably posted my issue to quick. I had performed the previously mentioned steps, but whatever caused it is no longer happening. Works as stated, again, thanks for the help on this.

To turn off the displaying of the PDF after it is created, Right-click on the PDF Printer icon in Printers, then click on “Printing Preferences”

Then click on the “Adobe PDF Settings” tab, and un-check the “View Adobve PDF results” option

Anyway to prevent the pdf from being displayed. Seems like after it generates the 2nd one with no problem, it starts displaying the pdfs. So if I generate 10, I have 8 displayed. Seems to be resetting the View Adobe pdf results setting.

Thanks so much and for the extremely quick reply! That was the problem, I didn’t have the include file registry.h
It’s been along time since I’ve done anything in Foxpro, I am doing a data conversion of this old app and also exporting reports to pdf. This is the cats meow, thanks so much for posting this info!

You cannot add quotes around HKEY_CURRENT_USER…. That’s the problem.

That is a CONTSTANT, and, I failed to point out that you must reference an include file named “registry.h” which exists in the FoxPro install folder, and that’s where the string value for that constant will come from.

That’s why the OpenKey() is failing.

On my machine, that file lives in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\ffc folder.

I assume you know how to use reference an Include file. It varies depending on if you are working in a Form, Class, or Prg.

For PRG, you do this

#INCLUDE C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\Ffc\registry.h
