Subject Questions with regards to dBASE PLUS 12 From Dennis Guay <dguay@live.com> Date Tue, 11 Dec 2018 22:13:34 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hello everyone. I just recently upgraded from dBASE PLUS 2.6 to dBASE PLUS 12. Thanks to the great folks at dBASE, the upgrade was affordable and exciting. Glad to see that the IDE is still familiar yet filled with lots of improvements. And the fonts look great too. My conversion of applications to dBASE PLUS 12 was relatively painless and worked like a charm. The first thing I noticed is that all of my newly compiled applications now have nicer color tones, sharper resolution and fonts, and have sharp blue edges on the forms and backgrounds. Sweet. Since I'm running a Windows 10 64bit PC and a Windows 7 32bit netbook, I knew it was defenitely time to upgrade. Have to say though, that I am sad to see the dQuery wizards go. Bulky or not, I used them in a pinch when I didn't feel like typing. LOL. Since I am still learning all the new stuff in dBASE PLUS 12, I have a few questions that I need answered as I am stumped. 1. When executing reports from my applications, the report viewer is now automatically minimized at the bottom of the screen. Never used to do this. Is there a way I can force these reports to open mazimized automatically? I don't see a maximize property in the Inspector. 2. When I browse the c:\users\user\documents\dbase\plus 12\samples\ directory the Navigator cannot see any of the files inside there. This happens intermittently. One minute its there and the next minute its not. If I get desperate, I just copy the samples folder to my desktop for example and then it will work. 3. I wanted to add page numbers to my reports. In the help documentation it says to drag the PageNumber component from the Component palette's Custom page to the report page. Problem is, I don't see a Custom page. It says that this custom component is installed with the dBASE PLUS samples. So how exactly do I turn this Custom page on? 4. In one of my applications I use the Zseeker custom component. In order for it to work it must have the seeker.cc set in order for Zseeker.cc to work. So for example, the source would look like this: set procedure to seeker.cc additive set procedure to zseeker.cc additive The thing is, the set procedure to seeker.cc additive line of code always disappears when in form designer mode. And so the workaround is that I always have to manually retype in this one line of code whenever I make changes to the application or rebuild. Why does it do this? Well folks that's all I have for now. If you can help me that would be great. Thanks in advance!
