[Post 270] the web uses actually very big string to represent for ex a big picture,as 64 encoded string .... vfp has natively limited the litteral string to 255 chars. in text/endtext this string was limited to 8192 octets. if you put in code between command text/endtext a big string (more 8192 octets), vfp returns error (in certain cases it crashe

[post 276] vfp historically is a good searcher but with old/traditional methods as: -pointing a folder,scan/endscan,loops,strings operations... -vfp filer (with an external dll)-this dont worked correctly and make vfp crash without any alert (abandoned). -gofish... nowadays even the windows 10 search integrated in windows explorer(reappointed) seem

[Post 274] this is a custom PDF reader based on vfp browser and automated from it exclusively. this can work with local pdfs (communly called acrobat).I used my acrobat Reader DC (version base 18.2816). Acrobat is not a friend with all softs because its based on javascript and only some pro versions can be automated. But the trick here is to use 2

[Post 275] In previous post i presented a PDF reader but as native vertical scrolling position. Modern apps make readers page by page as slideshow (the pdf reader on win 8.1 have this improvment but it erased by microsoft in win10).. but how to achieve this goal? the idea is to have the pdf in separates pages and then present each page in the scree
