Help save SouthWest Fox!!

http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Help-save-Southwest-Fox-122973.S.250929260

A special appeal for consideration from Tamar.  Helping get the word 
out...don't think I can help by making it though; we've had some 
leadership changes and the Fox isn't something our company wants to 
continue investing in I'm afraid.   :/

I wonder about some sort of online conference instead, where you could 
subscribe and pay for the sessions ala carte on your own time?  Beats 
them having the site expense.  Yes, I know and fully agree that the 
networking that occurs at conference is extremely valuable (perhaps most 
valuable) and this doesn't let that occur, but I'm just thinking of Plan 
B if Plan A fails to happen.

[NF] Emulate Apple iPad OS?

We are getting more and more requests from users (doctors etc) that
want to access our system remotely using wiz bang stuff like Apple
iPads and such...

We have zero Apple product capability here so are pretty unfamiliar
with it so are looking at going out and buying one just to test with.

Question: is there a good way to emulate iOS within a pc platform i.e. laptop?

Just being a casual listener to all-thing-Apple my understanding is
that iOS can do Windows, but nobody can do iOS except iOS...

[OT] Keep America At Work

The first issue of Keep America At Work will be released around 15 July 2013

A sample consisting of the first 3 pages can be found at:

http://keepamericaatwork.com/?page_id=75

The first issue will be limited to 16 pages simply because that is the
limitations imposed on me by this company (if anybody knows a better source,
I'm all ears)

http://www.makemynewspaper.com/

If anybody knows of anybody that believes we should Keep America At Work and
wants to put their money where their mouth is, I could use their help in the
form of advertising.

Feel free to forward this to anybody.

Thanks,

Virgil Bierschwale

Layout values appearing as non-default

I have a form class with a pageframe on it based on a parent class with the same pageframe.
The parent class has the following properties for the pageframe
Top = 6
Height = 397
The child class has the same property values but they appear as non-default.
I change the properties on the child class to be 5 and 396 and save the class.
I then 'Reset to Default' those properties and save the class.
I then re-open the class but although the properties have the default values they appear as non-default.
This is driving me crazy!  Has anybody come across this and know a solution?

Many thanks

A Focus Problem - Not a Lack of Concentration!

I'm going kinda Crazy here with some strange Focus problems on this Form.

So - I have this Form - for the Inquire, Mod. & Entry of PO Lines. Currently
I am working just on PO Lines creation. The Inquire & Mod. Modes are already
working.

I have this Grid - where the PO Lines will be displayed. I also have a
Container at the bottom of the Form - which pops-up & allows entry of Style,
Color, Desc,, Qty's, and such. Since this is Entry/Creation mode - I have it
on right when you go into the screen - and the Style gets the Focus. That
part is working fine. 

So - upon entry of a Style - if its Valid (its checked against a Style DBF)
- then the Focus is SUPPOSED to move onto the next field - the Color.
However, after its checked and found to be Valid (no need for a Look-up) -
the Focus jumps to the Grid! WTF!?!? I can't explain WHY It is doing that!

As such, I decided to "Fudge" things - to attempt to force it to work. So -
I DisAbled the Grid. Now, after entering a Valid Style - it then DOES go to
the Color field for entry. But, I don't really like this Kludgy solution.
Especially since there are More issues.

Now - if the Style is NOT Valid - I have it Pop-up a Lookup. This Lookup is
another Form to lookup Style/Color combos - and its used in other parts of
the system. Now, with the Grid Enabled set to False, and an invalid Style is
entered, and the Lookup window pops up - after making the selection - the
Focus goes BACK to the Style! That isn't right - as it should go to the Next
field - the Color!

Next - if put in a Valid Style, it goes to Color. Then, if I put in a Valid

Re: Turning Off Field Validaton Until Form "Settles"

Set your flag in the LOAD and reset it in the end of the INIT method.

Re: Turning Off Field Validaton Until Form "Settles"

If I understand you correctly, what you want is to shut off validation 
until the user hits the edit button.

What I usually do is simply set enable .f. to all textboxes, setting 
their disableforecolor to rgb(0,0,0) (black) so the field contents can 
be seen clearly.

When the user hits the edit button, the enable property is set to .t. 
Likewise, after she hits the cancel or save buttons, the setting reverts 
to .f.

In this way, the user can navigate the table without any unwanted 
validation code firing until it is really necessary

Gene,

Add a form property named "HasActivated" set the initial value to .F.
In the ACTIVATE event, set it to .T.
In your troublesome places, check the value.
    IF THISFORM.HasActivated
        *-- Your code goes here
    ENDIF

Turning Off Field Validaton Until Form "Settles"

Dear Vixens and Reynards:

      Once more, I am doing battle with the form event model.  I did 
not want a fight, but it appears that I have one.

      I have validation on fields.  What I want to do is be able to 
turn this off until the form is ready for user input.  How can I do this?

      One possibility that I have thought of is using Form::KeyPress 
to detect the first keypress.  I do not think that this will work, 
because I have to have a keyboard command in one gotfocus to handle a 
VFP bug.  (I actually have to move off the field then back on, 
because otherwise, the cursor does not get set to the part of the 
field that I want (the day part of a date).

      I have a flag property that I use for determining whether to do 
validation, and it works fine during normal use.  During 
initialisation, with all of the events firing, it does not work.  I 
think it would *IF* I could determine where I could reset the flag.

      Any ideas what I can do here?

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

[NF] Intel i5 vs. Xeon CPU for a data server

Building a new data server...

Any opinions, facts as to whether a Xeon CPU would SIGNIFICANTLY, 
NOTICEABLY outperform an Intel Core i5 on a box that is a CentOS running 
MariaDB dedicated data server? I'm sure the Xeon would run cooler, fewer 
cycles, etc.

I'm of the opinion, although I have no facts or data to support it, that 
the i5 would not be a significant bottleneck in this environment.

If it makes any difference, the # of workstations will be between 60 and 
200 with about 2/3 local network, the other half via the Internet.

I've been using a Core i5 in this configuration for a year or so and 
while watching the % of "busy" on the server, it rarely exceeds 5% on 
any core, any parameter.

Not going to be rendering video or 3d models...just serving bits from 
data request hits.

Thanks, as always, for any sharing of your vast depth of experience, or 
prejudice!
