Hi Stein,
?
I've been going over some code Eric showed us years
ago which I've just taken for granted because it's just been there... working
quietly in the background every time I start VPF.
?
Basically you need to issue:
?
_screen.caption=sys(5)+sys(2003) from the command
window or somewhere.
?
What I was remembering at the meeting was that this
line is in my config file at startup ... being there it only shows me were I am
at startup. I've been playing with MACROS under TOOLS on the toolbar.? I
set one up so that when I hit the F12 key it will refresh the _screen.caption
property. The code I entered in the Macro box is:
?
_screen.caption=sys(5)+sys(2003){Enter}
?
This of course mimicks CD? but at least you
know exactly where to look on the screen for the folder you are in.
?
If the macro were set up like
this:???
{Enter}_screen.caption=sys(5)+sys(2003){Enter}?? then you could use
the F12 key as an alternate "Enter" key and the screen.caption would be updated
everytime you did something in the command window.
?
It would be nice to suppress the output that goes
to the Command Window but the only properties that I can found for the Command
Window are found by right-clicking in it. There doesn't seem to be a lot of
controls to play with there.? Do you know how to did deeper into it? I
don't think we can just run a macro on the "ENTER" key.
?
Jim

Jim T, you mentioned that you had
your system set up so that the current directory would be echoed in the VFP
screen caption.? Is there associated code or config info that you could
post?
