VFPX: Using the BalloonTip
[[Rick Schummer]]
The balloon tip control is a nice way to communicate information to the
users while they are interacting with the user interface of the application.
This month in Rick's continuing series on VFPX deep dives, he takes a look
at the ctl32_BalloonTip control found in the ctl32_StatusBar project up on
CodePlex.
Deep Dive: Creating Explorer Interfaces in Visual FoxPro, Part 1
[[Doug Hennig]]
Explorer-style user interfaces are among the most popular for today's
applications. However, working with and integrating the controls necessary
to implement an explorer interface can be challenging. This first of a
multi-part series presents a set of classes and techniques that makes short
work of developing explorer interfaces for your applications.
[[KitBox]]: A Moving Experience
[[Marcia Akins]] and [[Andy Kramek]]
One question that seems to pop up again and again in various on-line forums
is how to create a grid with mover bars that will allow the users to
re-sequence the records in the same way that they can in a list box. This
month Andy and Marcia discuss how to implement this.
New Ways: Breaking Up is Not Hard to Do
[[Tamar Granor]], PhD
In my last article, I looked at techniques for reading and writing text
files. Once you've read a text file into memory, or perhaps created a long
string in some other way, it's not unusual to need to break it up into
lines, or words, or based on some other criteria. Prior to VFP 6, you had to
use different approaches depending on the criteria for parsing. With the
introduction of the ALINES() function, though, most simple parsing has been
reduced to a single function call.
Best Practices: Best Practices Part I
[[Jim Booth]]
Programming in Visual FoxPro is not really any different than programming in
any other language. Programming languages all have differing syntaxes and
the commands and functions vary from one to the other, but the underlying
concepts of good programming are universal across all languages. These
underlying concepts of "good" programming are referred to as the "Best
Practices." In this article series I will be discussing the "Best Practices"
in programming with Visual FoxPro. The "Best Practices" are the same for all
languages; consequently, the only thing that will make this series about
Visual FoxPro will be the example code.
