Customizing the Visual FoxPro Environment

  • Cikk

After you install Visual FoxPro, you might want to customize your development environment. Environment settings include the main window title, default directory, project, editor, debugger and form tool options, temporary file storage, field mappings for drag-and-drop operations, and many other options.

You can configure Visual FoxPro either interactively or programmatically. You can also establish configuration settings that are loaded when you start Visual FoxPro. For information on optimizing your system once it is configured, see Optimizing Your System. For information on optimizing your Visual FoxPro applications, see Optimizing Applications.
