Are grids available in FoxPro 2.5 for DOS?
Hello out there! I have a client that has old legacy apps written in FoxPro 2.5 for DOS
running under Windows XP. A lot of the screens need maintenance/fixing before they can
be revamped and eventually rewritten in VFP 8.0. The old system is in production and is
in constant maintenance (They have a huge backlog).
It's been a long while since I've touched FoxPro 2.x for DOS/Windows (I've been
developing apps in VFP 6.0 and 8.0 for the last seven years). I went into the screen builder
in FoxPro 2.5 for Dos (Arrgh! I had to get used to the old aqua blue and purple screens again)
and found that I could easily add push buttons, text, checkboxes, @Say and @Get fields, popups
and lists (Spinners are only available in FoxPro 2.x for Windows as the help file for
FoxPro for DOS says). However, there are no grids available.
Am I crazy or is this most important feature missing from FoxPro 2.x for DOS?!? How in the
world did old FoxPro 2.x for DOS programmers get by without a grid to display rows from a
child table? Did they somehow use a bunch of lists placed parallel to each other,
SET a RELATION from the parent table to the child table and display each column from
the child table in a seperate list? Any insight and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
