Release Block User Code

In any login code, aside from status login, logout, I also made use of block. A user has a status of block if his username and password dis not match thrice in a row. This will help in the security of accessing the program.

PUBLIC pBlockUser

IF !EMPTY(THISFORM.Text2.Value)

IF THISFORM.Text4.Value = "BLOCK"

pBlockUser = THISFORM.Text3.Value

lAnswer = MESSAGEBOX("Do you want to release "+ALLTRIM(pBlockUser)+"?", 4, "Confirmation")

IF lAnswer = 6

SELECT SviewAccess

LOCATE FOR IdNum = THISFORM.Text2.Value

IF FOUND()

REPLACE AccessStatus WITH "LOGOUT"

=MESSAGEBOX("Successfully release "+ALLTRIM(pBlockUser)+" .", "Confirmation")

THISFORM.Grid1.REFRESH

ENDIF

ENDIF

ELSE

=MESSAGEBOX("Select a Block User.", "Confirmation")

ENDIF

ELSE

=MESSAGEBOX("Select User.", "Confirmation")

ENDIF

Balance Code

This code will check if textbox 1 is equal to textbox 2. If the two quantities is not equal a messagebox 'Not balance.' will appear but continue printing if balance at all.

IF !EMPTY(THISFORM.Text3.Value)

IF (THISFORM.Text1.Value) = (THISFORM.Text2.Value)

REPORT FORM "C:\GenLed\Reports\ReportJournalEntry" TO PRINTER PROMPT NODIALOG PREVIEW

THISFORM.Refresh()

Login Form

Fill-out the Username, Password and Branch field and click the OK button to continue. The following spaces should be filled with correct Username, Password and desired Branch to continue. Selected branch will give you information and data for that branch only.

Activity Log in FoxPro

This is my first sample form of Activity Log in FoxPro. My current project which is a General ledger required me to have Activity Log. It is easy to make a log but requires me to update the table from different form and command such as login, logout, add, edit, delete and post. But will be handy of traceability purpose.

Trial Balance in FoxPro

Sample form of Trial Balance in Journal Entries or General Ledger. General Ledger is one of the famous system that is being develop or being automate for faster, easy processing.

SQL Connections

Using SQL Server, you will need a connection string to be able to access the database. Here is the basic connection string format.

DRIVER=sql server;SERVER=ServerName;UID=UserName;PWD=Password;APP=Microsoft Visual;WSID=PcName;DATABASE=DatabaseName

Do not forget to verify connection.

Add Image on FoxPro Background

Are you bored on all white background of your FoxPro Program? Now you can pick or put a background image on your program. Just include this line of code on your main program and specify the locatin of the image.

_screen.picture = "C:\GenLed\Images\background.bmp"

Trial Balance Report

Here is the sample report designer or FRX. You can use groups in the report designer. As you can see, I used Data Groupings. You will group by the field "Name" for example. In the group footer, you can use a variable which sums the field "amount". Right click your report and look at the tabs Data Grouping and Variables.

Special Thanks to Samir of Foxite.

Public

Recently I learned how to use PUBLIC in getting info or data from another form to another form. And it was very usable for me since my program has a login and branch name requirements.

On Login Form
PUBLIC pBranchName
pBranchName = ALLTRIM(THISFORM.Combo1.Value)

On Branch Setting Form
PUBLIC pBranchName
THISFORM.Label18.Caption = pBranchName

On Journal Entry Form
PUBLIC pBranchName
LOCATE FOR ALLTRIM(BranchName) = ALLTRIM(THISFORM.Combo1.Value)
pBranchName = ALLTRIM(BranchName)

FoxPro Graph

To those who are neophyte in VFP Language might have a hard time researching and building a graph in a form and report. I also had a hard time making a graph when I first encountered a VFP Project with a graph. But once you learned, it is easy for the next project to bulid a graph in form and report.

You need the following requirements before continuing to the graph:

Table

OleGraph

Grid

SELECT * FROM crewquestion INTO CURSOR MYCURSOR

TAB = CHR(09)

CRLF = CHR(13) + CHR(10)

SELECT MYCURSOR

NEWDATA = TAB + "Recruitment & Selection" + TAB + "Documentation" + TAB ;

+ "In House Training" + TAB + "Accounting Activity" + TAB + "Working Gears" + ;

CRLF

SCAN

NEWDATA = NEWDATA + TAB + STR(question1) + TAB + STR(question2) + TAB ;

+ STR(question3) + TAB + STR(question4) + TAB + STR(question5) + ;

CRLF

ENDSCAN

SELECT crewquestion

APPEND GENERAL crewques1.Olegraph DATA NEWDATA

SELECT crewquestion

THISFORM.REFRESH

SELECT * FROM crewquestion INTO CURSOR MYCURSOR

TAB = CHR(09)

CRLF = CHR(13) + CHR(10)

SELECT MYCURSOR

NEWDATA = TAB + "Padala Sytem" + TAB + "Company Facilities" + TAB + "Attitude of Staff" + TAB ;

+ "P&I Medical Assistance" + CRLF

SCAN

NEWDATA = NEWDATA + TAB + STR(question6a) + TAB + STR(question6b) + TAB + STR(question6c) + TAB ;

+ STR(question6d) + CRLF

ENDSCAN

SELECT crewquestion

APPEND GENERAL crewques2.Olegraph DATA NEWDATA

SELECT crewquestion

THISFORM.REFRESH

Back Color

Changing the back color of an Edit Box. Same applies to Text Box, Combo Box or Grid.

THISFORM.TEXT1.BackColor = RGB(255,255,255)
THISFORM.EDIT1.BackColor = RGB(255,255,255)
THISFORM.EDIT2.BackColor = RGB(255,255,255)
THISFORM.EDIT3.BackColor = RGB(255,255,255)
THISFORM.EDIT4.BackColor = RGB(255,255,255)
THISFORM.EDIT5.BackColor = RGB(255,255,255)
THISFORM.EDIT6.BackColor = RGB(255,255,255)
THISFORM.EDIT7.BackColor = RGB(255,255,255)
THISFORM.EDIT8.BackColor = RGB(255,255,255)

Empty Box

This code lets you use an Edit Box and will saved "Y" if the edit box is not empty otherwise save "N" if the edit box is blank. This is useful if you need to show in a View what Edit Box has an input and will not include blank.

SELECT QuestionTable
REPLACE q1comment WITH THISFORM.EDIT1.Value
IF EMPTY(THISFORM.EDIT1.Value)
REPLACE Q1Indicator WITH "N"
ELSE
REPLACE Q1Indicator WITH "Y"
ENDIF

Clearpage Code

THISFORM.Text1.VALUE = ""

THISFORM.Command1.VALUE = ""

THISFORM.Pageframe1.VALUE = ""

THISFORM.Grid1.VALUE = ""

THISFORM.Combo1.VALUE = ""

Report Code

Calling a report from a form is very easy. You can even call a multiple reports that comes from your application. Microsoft Visual FoxPro is very flexible, you do not have to install other application in making print reports. VFP 's built in reports can call view from a table either local or through local area connection such as SQL from a server.

txtName = ALLTRIM(THISFORM.txtName.VALUE)

txtBirthDate = ALLTRIM(THISFORM.txtBirthDate.VALUE)

txtBirthPlace = ALLTRIM(THISFORM.txtBirthPlace.VALUE)

REPORT FORM "C:\ProjectName\Reports\Resume" TO PRINTER PROMPT NODIALOG PREVIEW

Edit Save Code

Microsoft Visual FoxPro programming language has a lot of code to edit, insert, replace or save. Using select, append, insert or replace is some of the ways to save data. I always use the select and replace because it is easy to troubleshoot when your code has a problem.

SELECT InfoNumber

LOCATE FOR IdNum = THISFORM.txtIdNum.VALUE

IF FOUND()

SELECT InfoNumber

REPLACE LastName WITH ALLTRIM(THISFORM.txtLastName.VALUE)

REPLACE FirstName WITH ALLTRIM(THISFORM.txtFirstName.VALUE)

REPLACE MiddleName WITH ALLTRIM(THISFORM.txtMiddleName.VALUE)

Do Case Code

When you have a multiple case which you would want a different action, you can use the Do Case. Do case is very useful code when used wisely.

DO CASE

CASE THISFORM.txtSqlId.VALUE = 1

MESSAGEBOX("Argentina", "Information")

CASE THISFORM.txtSqlId.VALUE = 2

MESSAGEBOX("Bangladesh", "Information")

CASE THISFORM.txtSqlId.VALUE = 3

MESSAGEBOX("Malaysia", "Information")

CASE THISFORM.txtSqlId.VALUE = 4

MESSAGEBOX("Philippines", "Information")

CASE THISFORM.txtSqlId.VALUE = 5

MESSAGEBOX("Taiwan", "Information")

CASE THISFORM.txtSqlId.VALUE = 6

ENDCASE

Export Code

Use this code when you want to export data from table to Excel File. Plus with a message box informing you if you want to do so. There is also a message box that telling you that you have successfully exported your table to an Excel File.

lAnswer = MESSAGEBOX("Generate Report, do you wish to continue?", 4, "Generator")
IF lAnswer = 6
SELECT SeafarerList
=REQUERY("SeafarerList")
COPY TO "C:\SEAFARER.XLS" XL5
=MESSAGEBOX("File successfully generated.", "Successful")
ENDIF

Edit Save Code

Most of the time neophyte VFP Programmers know how to add, edit and save data on the table. But how can we improve the form design? This is a sample I usually used, to ask or confirm if the User want to edit dat. A confirmation message box will appear with a 'Yes' or 'No'. From that the User can choose which will be the next function.

lAnswer = MESSAGEBOX("Save and update Counter Dispatch?", 4, "Confirmation")

IF lAnswer = 6

SELECT sviewbranch

LOCATE FOR IdNum = THISFORM.Text12.Value

IF FOUND()

REPLACE beginbal WITH THISFORM.TEXT1.Value

REPLACE branchname WITH THISFORM.TEXT2.Value

REPLACE branchaddress WITH THISFORM.TEXT3.Value

REPLACE branchdesc WITH THISFORM.TEXT4.Value

REPLACE debit WITH THISFORM.TEXT5.Value

REPLACE credit WITH THISFORM.TEXT6.Value

REPLACE netchange WITH THISFORM.TEXT7.Value

REPLACE ending WITH THISFORM.TEXT8.Value

REPLACE branchdescnum WITH THISFORM.TEXT9.Value

THISFORM.REFRESH

ENDIF

Retrieve Code

If you want to have an easy way to retrieve data and have it appear in a text box or combo box just by clicking a single data from that row, there is a simple remedy for that. Just follow the following code and paste it on click.

THISFORM.Text1.VALUE = sviewbranch.beginbal

THISFORM.Text2.VALUE = sviewbranch.branchname

THISFORM.Text3.VALUE = sviewbranch.branchaddress

THISFORM.Text4.VALUE = sviewbranch.branchdesc

THISFORM.Text5.VALUE = sviewbranch.debit

THISFORM.Text6.VALUE = sviewbranch.credit

THISFORM.Text7.VALUE = sviewbranch.netchange

THISFORM.Text8.VALUE = sviewbranch.ending

THISFORM.Text9.VALUE = sviewbranch.branchdescnum

Read Only Code

Thisform.Text1.ReadOnly = .T.

Thisform.Command1.ReadOnly = .T.

Thisform.Grid1.ReadOnly = .T.

Thisform.Pageframe1.ReadOnly = .T.

Thisform.Combo1.ReadOnly = .T.

Set Focus Code

You can use this code if you want to focus on a certain text. I usually use this after enabling the textboxes.

Thisform.Text1.Setfocus()

If Else EndIf Code

You can utilize this code if you want your Command box caption to be change.

IF This.Caption = "Edit"

This.Caption = "Save"

Thisform.cmdClose.Caption= "Cancel"

ELSE

This.Caption = "Edit"

Thisform.cmdClose.Caption = "Close"

ENDIF

FoxPro Accounting Form

Sample accounting form using text box, command button, grid and page frame. This is one of my interface I used in Accounting Units. It has complex functions.

Image one has motif of blue and consist of grid, page frame, several text box and several combo box. It has a function of add, edit, save, delete and other function that was require to make the User usage comfortability. It also allows you to search for a certain name and shows or retrieve the dat data on text and combo box.

Image two has more complex function than the first one. It is use for cash and check voucher. Aside from that the viewing of data being save are also incorporate. As you can see there is a five page frame available. These page is utilize to the step by step documentation of data.

While the third image for the purpose of viewing of queued data from the Operation Department thus using the Local Area Connection.

Microsoft Visual FoxPro

Microsoft Visual FoxPro is a data-centric object-oriented and procedural programming language produced by Microsoft. It is derived from FoxPro originally known as FoxBASE which was developed by Fox Software beginning in 1984. Fox Technologies merged with Microsoft in 1992, after which the software acquired further features and the prefix "Visual". The last version of FoxPro 2.6 worked under Mac OS, DOS, Windows, and Unix: Visual FoxPro 3.0, the first "Visual" version, dropped the platform support to only Mac and Windows, and later versions were Windows-only. The current version of Visual FoxPro is COM-based and Microsoft has stated that they do not intend to create a Microsoft .NET version.

FoxPro originated as a member of the class of languages commonly referred to as "xBase" languages, which have syntax based on the dBase programming language. Other members of the xBase language family include Clipper and Recital. A history of the early years of xBase can be found in the dBase entry.

Visual FoxPro, commonly abbreviated as VFP, is tightly integrated with its own relational database engine, which extends FoxPro's xBase capabilities to support SQL query and data manipulation. Unlike most database management systems, Visual FoxPro is a full-featured, dynamic programming language that does not require the use of an additional general-purpose programming environment. It can be used to write not just traditional "fat client" applications, but also middleware and web applications.
