Just Upgrade Already!
It amazes me how people refuse to spend money to upgrade from an eary version of VFP yet will spend hours to create a feature in the old version that's built-in to the current version. Here's an example from a recent newsgroup posting:
The hourly costs of doing this in VFP 6.0 probably outweigh the costs of just upgrading to VFP 9.0 and having it done in a matter of minutes!
I'm trying to create a right-click menu in VFP6. The only question I have
about this is to find out if there's an easier way of doing this. The
shortcut menu is created and now I want to attach it to the RightClick
method of the form. The only question I have is to find out if there's an
easier way of doing this rather than attaching the code to the RightClick
method of every object on the form.
I tried using the ON KEY LABEL RIGHTMOUSE command but the problem with that
is that after the menu option is selected there has to be some additional
commands depending on what option is chosen and these commands need THISFORM
in them which is only allowed in a method.
If it was only a couple forms, it wouldn't be a problem adding it to every
object but I have 42 forms and it's going to be very time consuming so if
anybody has a better suggestion, I sure would like to hear it.
The hourly costs of doing this in VFP 6.0 probably outweigh the costs of just upgrading to VFP 9.0 and having it done in a matter of minutes!
