Hi Jaime,

Hag Sameach (a little late)...Would you believe I am swamped with VFP work here, were nobody knows there is such a product?
Lets put some pressure with these bugs - VFP 8 is useless in hebrew with this

>Long time i didn't see or hear from you. I hope everything is well with you and that you have a happy passover. Here are a few remarks.
>
>>I think the font problem with the reports exists only in windows 98 and ME. With windows 95,XP,2000 etc it seems fine.
>There are two kinds of font problems in reports. The first one exists only up to Win98 or Me, and almost never appears in Win2k or XP: that's the alignment of hebrew in report preview when not using Courier New or some Fixed font. In Win2k or XP this works ok enough with Arial or other fonts i tried.
>
>The problem i was referring to still happens also in VFP8, and also in Win2k - XP Pro. I just select any field in the report, and set the font to any TrueType font ( specially those without hebrew, like MS Comic ), and the field disapears at design time. It is showed at run-time, but it's quite tedious to use it...
>
>>1. The combo and listbox occasionally go nuts when the RightToLeft property is set with alignment=1(right) . This means that when trying to use the scrollbar dragging it down causes the records to go up. Unfortunately dragging it up becomes impossible in this situation.
>
>This is a know issue for me too. The only work-around my users found, is to click the first time on the combo-arrow, click-back WITHOUT SCROLLING, and click again on the arrow the start scrolling the list...That's why i never use the combo for lookups anymore, but rather some form with a grid where i added incremental search...
>
>>2. Edit boxes do not work properly: If the controlsource is a field (i.e. mytable.remarks) hebrew and english get mixed up. The solution is to use a memory variable (then it works properly)
>
>Yup. The editbox is even a problem when disabled and showing hebrew content. The alignment and justification get mixed up.
>
>>4. With VFP7 & VFP 8 and windows XP (only) the debugger gets all messed up.
>
>I can use the debugger in 7 and 8 and XP Pro. I got some crashes here and there, and didn't know if this was because i previously used the debugger. Since it asks me to send the data to Microsoft, i always click on Send :-)

>All the best,

>>>>>>>Hi all
>>>>>>>I finally received today my copies of VFP8, and started recompiling my apps to see it working under the new version.
>>>>>>>I found a very bad bug, which means for me i will not be able to use VFP8 for hebrew apps in the meantime.
>>>>>>>The problem is when setting the RightToLeft property of the Grid to True. Until VFP7, the only problem i had is that i couldn't resize columns when it was set to True, but i did all my sizing in normal mode then when finished, set the RighToLeft property.
>>>>>>>Now, when i set it, some of the columns disapear, and some others become transparent (!!). The whole column, including header and all... I think the whole thing is also shifted to the right. I am trying now to play with the settings ( i.e FontCharSet properties and family ) and alignments to see if there is any setting that works :-((
