Discussion:
[NF] Form Controls Toolbar

I have just bought a new Win10 computer and installed VFP9. I originally sub-classed the standard controls and added some customised ones into a new class library when I installed VFP for the first time. I exported the registry entries for VFP from the old computer and imported them into the registry on the new one. They show up in the Options dialogue correctly but when I select the Form Controls toolbar it shows the standard controls instead of my sub-classed versions. I know I can make it show the sub-classed ones as that is what I had in the past but I can’t remember how I did it ☹



Also, how do I tell VFP to use the VFPX (I think) version of Help?



Thanks



John

On your second question, download the VFPX Help installer and just run that. If you use Thor, it's pretty convenient.

Hi
Firstly update to version SP2 with hotfix.
When you want to make use of your subclassed toolbar instead of the default
you have to run that toolbar.
There are No entries in the regisrtry to controll that.

Many thanks! I thought that I had installed SP2 but obviously hadn't. I now have VFP SP2 + Hotfix with SP2 help 😊 I have also found how to select the class library I need.

Thanks again
