XML is and how to use it.
New Ways... Working with Work Areas
Tamar E. Granor, PhD
Although we've had techniques that let us ignore
work area numbers and letters for many versions,
some developers still write code that addresses
work areas directly. This month, I'll look at how to
write code without worrying about work area let-
ters or numbers, and how to depend as little as pos-
sible on the currently selected work area. The result
is better code that‘s easier to write and maintain.
KitBox: Doing a PROPER Job<
Marcia G. Akins, Andy Kramek
Correctly formatting blocks of text is a problem that
we all have to deal with from time to time. While
VFP has functions for forcing text to either upper
or lower case, its handling of mixed case text suf-
fers from a number of shortcomings that make it
essentially unusable in all but the simplest of cir-
cumstances. This month Andy and Marcia are dis-
cussing the issues surrounding the task of format-
ting text and come up with a class that does a better
job of handling mixed case text.
Vista: Displaying form borders in Windows Vista<
Vanelina Jordanova, Uwe Habermann
If you are running VFP 9 applications in Windows
Vista, you will know the problem. Forms with a
Border Style setting other than 3 sometimes appear
without a form border. In principle this bug shall
have been fixed with VFP 9 SP 2. But then why are
the forms often displayed incorrectly?
Events: The German 2007 DevCon from a visitor's perspective<
Boudewijn Lutgerink
While visiting the German DevCon this year I took
the chance to listen to Steven Black's sessions about
niche markets and "So fox is 'dead', now what?"
