Visual FoxPro 8 Forum

Good news:
HTML help could be used, if IE 6.0 installed in CX system.
VFP 8.0 is running much more stable as before. Actually no issue discovered.

Bad News:
Installer still does not works. You have to copy whole VFP directory by your self.
Still no color picker in Properties dialog. You have to give colors like RGB(XX.XX.XX).

I got new AMD64 machine on which I installed MDK 10.1 AMD64 edition.
There was cx 3.0.1 demo included.

I have installed IE 6.0 on it, office and I did try to install VFP 8.0 on it.

Installation failed, but I copied VFP8.0 directory directly in Program Files of Fake_window directory.

I created a link on desktop and do run VFP enviroment with
/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --winver nt40 --workdir "C://Program Files//Microsoft Visual Studio//Vfp8" --check --cx-app "C://Program Files//Microsoft Visual Studio//Vfp8//VFP8.EXE"

I created a links for MS htlm system:
/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine hh.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\vfp8\dv_foxhelp.chm"
by which iI do run MS html help system for foxpro.

Except color picker, which does not work, whole system runs quite good and stable.

As I wrote above text, I forget to mention one more small problem.

If you set textfield background to "black", you will not see coursor placed on it.

In some way, the textfiedl cursor does not change to white on black border and remains black. So you can not see it on black border...
