Display memo fields in VFP - database

How to display the content of memo fields with select command?
If I have a table (vendors) with the following fields: id_vendor C(10),address M and I want to display all the content with "select * from vendors" I receive only the type of field but not the content.

If you are viewing the results in a browse window (which is what executing the SQL will show), then ctrl+pgdown in the field (where it is showing "Memo") will display the entire contents in a new window.
The SQL did retrieve the entire contents, which can be confirmed by in the command windows entering
? [fieldname]
And you will see the contents that way also.

Which language are you using or what it your output audience... if within VFP, use an EDIT field to allow for multiple row content to be shown. In a simple "text box" field, it will only show "memo" as you indicate. Otherwise, as Swordblaster indicated ctrl+pgdown or even double-clicking SHOULD open it, but that would throw up an uncontrolled "window" for you vs a controlled "edit box" control which you can specifically place in your window as needed.

Double click Memo and the contents are displayed in a new window.

Issue in automating table data filling in firefox using webdriver

Objective:
This is data driven approach. I am trying to get data from sheet to be entered in table in a web application. Now in the table there are fields as below:
Textfield (To enter name), Datatype drop-down (To select data type), Length field(to enter the length), Status field (Isactive or not)
Now here there is a dynamic logic as for only “String” datatype the “Length” field would appear else in default table “Length” field/column is not shown because for other data types there is static length value provided.
Now when automating I am getting data in sequence from sheet and setting that in table. Switching over the fields is done by using “Tab” mechanism.
Issue:
The only issue in this whole process is that while selecting “String” data-type from drop-down and after that tab is applied. At this point the “Length” field is supposed to appear for which data can be entered from the sheet but here at only tabbing/loosing focus from one field to another is not revealing the hidden “Length” field.
And at this point automation gets stuck up. Manually selecting the drop-down shows the “Length” field but when same is done manually using tab, the “Length” field does not show up.
It would be of really great help if anyone can please suggest on above issue.
Hoping to hear soon from someone. Thanks for your efforts in advance.
Manually selecting the drop-down shows the “Length” field but when
same is done manually using tab, the “Length” field does not show up.
Seems selenium isn't setting focus to the same object/element that you are. How are you using selenium to tab between fields? Do you have to tab to this element, or can you have selenium select it directly? Also, it would help us if you shared the selenium code and html.

Opening Button to open form based on combo box selection

I currently have a MS Access database of members.
I have a form that has a combo box which is populated with just the first and last names of members. (using a test database for now)
What im struggling with is how do i create a button that opens another form i have created but using the selection in the dropdown box to populate the fields in the newly opened form.
When a user from the dropdown box is selected an open is clicked i want it to open the profile form populated with their details.
pictures and access files can be found on my ftp server:
ftp://ftp.legends-gym.co.uk
User: ftpuser#legends-gym.co.uk
Pass: ftpuser

I can't access ftp site from work so can't see what you've got thus far however, the key bits you want to look at here are:
Add a button to the form and the On Click Event to open your profile form. Something along the lines of docmd.openform "frmProfile", acNormal
You need something to pass the member you've selected in the combo box to the profile form. One way might be to use OpenArgs so have a look at that
You then could use the passed variable in OpenArgs to select the data you want to fill out your profile form.
EDIT...
OK, I've had a look at the file now. Here is what you need to do to fix your problems (and a couple of extra bits which aren't causing an issue but will improve the look and feel).
On the Format of the Home form and the Member Search form, set Navigation Buttons and Record Selector to false. - This removes the unnecessary elements for a "single" form, you're not looking at records.
On the member search form, remove the binding to the members table. - You don't need to bind this form, as the recordsource of the combo is pulling the data required separately. if you look at your form before you change it, you'll notice you've got 1 of 10 records...
Also, remove the filter criteria and set filter on load to No - You were filtering the wrong form.
On the combo box, remove the after update event. - I'm not sure what that was trying to do but its completely unnecessary.
On the command button, add an onclick event which has the following code DoCmd.OpenForm "Profile", acNormal, , "ID = " & Me.Combo361 & ""
Save everything and enjoy. :)
You weren't far wrong with the filter, but it's actually a WHERE clause when opening another form - sorry, my bad misdirection. What you were doing was filtering the original form - ie the member search form. Also, you don't need to put ' quotes around the ID, it's a number not a string.
If you have problems I can probably host this fixed version somewhere for you to download.

Finding empty label in Windows form

I am new to Windows Form application and trying to build a small application.
I had dragged and dropped a label on the main form.
Then I deleted its text property to empty string basically hiding the label.
Now I would like to move this label to some other location on the form but unable to do so because I cannot find it.
I checked the designer file and its there.
But I cannot find it in the form so that I can grab it and move to a different location.
Please help.
Thanks
Use Document Outline. Look at the following images.
That happens to me several times, and a few weeks ago I found a way to get the empty label like this:
On the tab "Properties" just click on the arrow to show all controls and click on the label you want, this will automatically select the label on your form..

SSRS : how to add an icon with a data region

My aim is to have the icon , combined with the results of my dataset
I'm adding an icon in my textbox. The textbox is part of a table , within a list.
Then I put the name of the image plus the name of my dataset (as you can see below)
"mailsocialmedia128" + Fields!MyFieldname.Value
Issue is the icon is only appearing when the dataset is empty. But when the dataset is not empty , I have a ... red cross (see picture below).
How can I have the icon and the data related , inside of the text box?
Thanks in advance for any insights you will be able to provide
Rather than trying to achieve all of this in a single text box, you can instead create multiple objects within the area.
Right click the text box and select Insert -> Rectangle
You can then insert both a Text box to display the text and a separate Image control to this area, and one won't affect the other.
It could look something like this in design view
And like this in preview
Let me know if this is helpful, or if you require further assistance

Sitecore MVC Checkbox

In Sitecore MVC, FieldRenderer.Render(Item, "Field Name") automatically checks its field type. In another word, all XSLT extensions (sc:text, sc:image, sc:date, …) is affected by the RenderField pipeline.
But, I couldn't find sc:checkbox information and it doesn't show "CheckBox" in page edit mode. It just shows the value of the check box.
How can I make it show as like input type=checkbox in page editor?
Sorry for the link only answer but the general approach here is to use a Field Editor Button.
This will open a pop up window with the content editor style control for the field.
If using a custom experience button is not an option for you, you can output different markup (i.e. your input button) to the client when the page mode is in 'Edit' mode.
This will allow you to present the author with the controls you wish to display, but still output the normal output values for end users.
If you are able to use controller renderings, you can use the controller to load a different view to make this easier, but otherwise you can use if statements within your View to output different markup.
