Hello all. Hope everyone is staying safe.
*--- The Background ------------------------------------------------
I have a not-so-common scenario playing out in a Visual FoxExpress application I'm working on. Essentially, I have a local view that is too complex for the native VFP View Designer (VFP VD) to open, which typically (for VFE apps) means we use Dan Goodwin's awesome VFEGenView utility (
https://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFEGenView) to maintain the view definition once it gets "too complex" for the native VFP VD. This normally works great and allows for quite complete view definitions and maintenance without issue.
I’m now in a situation where I need to add an additional view parameter to an existing query that can no longer be opened by the VFP VD, and would like to hack wherever it is that VFP stores the view parameter registration.
*--- The Issue / Question ------------------------------------------------
When we register view parameters via the VFP VD menu option (View > Query Parameter), where does VFP store that view registration? I am hoping it’s somewhere that can be hacked so I can add an additional parameter registration for a view already too complex for VFP VD to handle.
It’s possible I knew this back in the day, but if I did, I’ve forgotten it and can’t find the location even after searching the view DBC and metadata tables.
TIA, and stay safe.
