VFP Hot Tip...
If you’re like me, you quickly got tired of scrolling up and down through the property sheet looking for the Value, Visible or some other property. Use the Ctrl+Alt+First Letter keystroke combination to quickly navigate your way around the Property sheet. For example, at the form object level, Ctrl+Alt+C takes you directly to the Caption property.
When you’re dealing with a built in a VFP property, (.Visible for example), you can double click on the property to switch back and forth between the logical values. If you’re a keyboard hound like me, just pressing the period
(.)
key with also toggle between .T. and .F. The Right and Left arrow keys will also work.
Some properties, BufferMode for example, allow you to select, from a drcdpdown list of c options The Right and Left arrow keys allow you to cycle through the options.

It Can’t Get Any Easier
We’ve come up with an easy way to submit articles to the
LA Fox DeveloperNewsietter
one that has been overlooked for a long time.
You can submit your articles to Barry Lee at
CIS#
72723,3422 on Compuserve,
or brlee@earthlink.net.
These articles can be on any FoxPro-related topic, whether it concerns a new technique you’ve discovered, a certain development technique you may favor over others, book reviews, etc. Editor reserves the right to edit or offer constructive comments concerning submitted articles and accepted articles shall be considered to be in the public domain.
The quality of this newsletter really depends on the members that support
it,
not just read it. And I think we’d all be surprised by the useful information that could be circulated around the membership.
