No, not useful at all, except if you want to make the EXE bigger and allow decompiling them too. Regards, Fernando D Bozzo El mié., 24 oct. 2018 19:32, escribió: > VFP9SP2 > > Since .h #INCLUDE files are only utilized at build time, is there any > reason you'd want to include the .h files in

.h files included or excluded in your project?

VFP9SP2 Since .h #INCLUDE files are only utilized at build time, is there any reason you'd want to include the .h files in the EXE? I'm thinking "no." ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance:

RE: Replacement for standard OLE image control

Another good thought. I'm also cruising through the WW docs since Rick has an image handling DLL as part of the package. If I go this route I probably have to write my own wrapper around the Windows API calls since most of what I've seen so far are more for manipulation of the image as opposed

Thanks, Ted. I was thinking of trying the browser control. I'm still not certain that any graphics handling that VFP might call is going to do anything other than use the image handling code from Windows 3.x but it's worth a shot. Peter, I have it set to isometric so the problem is not caused

Re: Replacement for standard OLE image control

It's overkill, but you could embed a webbrowser control. MS and other vendors have a bad habit of shipping proof of concept controls we base production applications on, or go out of business or otherwise cease supporting an app, but it's unlikely MS will go out of the browser business, much as we

Testing is done differently today than it was 20 years ago. It doesn't replace real people from final testing but it does reduce their need on early bugs that is for sure. I don't allow your code to be saved if your code breaks the build we have in place. You get notified of it right after you

I use the built in image control to view imported pictures. I use an old LeadTools product to resize the image to 800x600 before storing it. Is your customers images from a 12 megapixel or higher camera? You could use one of the available ways to reduce the image size for displaying in your
