There are many links to "Download MsgBox FLL" (e.g. http://www.news2news.com/vfp/?solution=3) that fail with:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /vfp/ on this server.
Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe

Apache Server at www.news2news.com Port 80

Note sure where to put this information. I don't want to fork just to edit the .md so I'm gonna make it an ticket.

In the "Hints" section for HTONS, it says that newer versions of windows set the 16th bit. But that's not quite right. For different numbers it sets more bits.

587 becomes 150274 instead of 19202

10 0100 1011 0000 0010 = 150274
00 0100 1011 0000 0010 = 19202

2525 becomes 646409 instead of 56585

1001 1101 1101 0000 1001 = 646409
0000 1101 1101 0000 1001 = 56585

20000 becomes 5120078 instead of 8270

0100 1110 0010 0000 0100 1110 = 5120078
0000 0000 0010 0000 0100 1110 = 8270

On Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11 htons() is returning a result with more than 16-bits. (To fill in the extra bits, it's cycling through the significant bits of the number again. So it's simply nonsense.)

The fix is to ignore everything after the 15th bit. e.g.

=num2word(BITAND(htons(587),65535))

Hi

Are there any examples of using the builtin Windows API from creating zip files?

Simon

Hello, friends.
When I try to run the sample in

Displaying standard progress dialog box when copying files
https://github.com/VFPX/Win32API/blob/master/samples/sample_508.md

I got the error

There's no use license of the class.

I understand that there is a problem with the Treeview control.
VFP9-SP2, Windows 10 Pro 64 bits.

I would like to know how do I need to correct.
Thanks.

1-https://github.com/VFPX/Win32API/blob/master/samples/sample_577.md
Displaying Windows shell folders in TreeView control with Visual FoxPro FLL
this url dont exist and dont listed in samples.
Please verify also samples 586,509,510,525,,583,..... forget ?

2-examples seen in news2news as
-dialogs/messageboxes,menus,....i see them in old news2news (site down)
not integrated in this vfpx win32api ?

Example 264 shows the use of the function ChooseColor.

I wish I could predefine the 16 colors but I can’t find a way to do it.

At the following link https://www.functionx.com/visualc/controls/dlgcolor.htm do just that, but as I do that in vfp?

Thanks in advance.
