PRB: Some Intellisense settings do not persist between sessions (310970)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 7.0
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8.0
This article was previously published under Q310970 SYMPTOMS
When you set the _VFP.EditorOptions property, either in code or through the Intellisense Manager, and then quit Visual FoxPro 7.0 or Visual FoxPro 8.0, the value is not saved when you start Visual FoxPro again.
RESOLUTION
Use a configuration file (usually Config.fpw) to persist the setting.
MODIFY FILE HOME() + "config.fpw"
Add the following line, modifying as appropriate:
COMMAND=_VFP.EditorOptions = "lqkT"
See the "EditorOptions" Help topic for the options you can set here.
You can only have one COMMAND line in your Config.fpw file. If you need more than one, create a .prg file in the home directory and call that in the COMMAND line instead.
COMMAND=DO vfpStart.prg
In Visual FoxPro 9.0, the persistence of the _VFP.EditorOptions settings is supported by saving them to the Visual FoxPro resource file, Foxuser.dbf, between sessions of Visual FoxPro. Therefore, using a Config.fpw file to save this setting is unnecessary. STATUS
This behavior is by design.
