Generate program codes from Forms (*.scx file)

[C.S.Chan]

Is there a way to generate program codes from Forms (*.scx file) ?

Hi C.S. Chan:

>Is there a way to generate program codes from Forms (*.scx file) ?

Since the .SCX file in Visual FoxPro creates a form object, we no longer
create .SPR code files as FoxPro 2.x did.

You can see the code in the form by opening the form in the Class Browser
and choosing the "View Class code toolbar" icon. However, this code will
not run if you simply place it in a program.

If the SCX is part of an executable, you can buy ReFox and uncompile the
executable; however, I would only consider this as a last resort.

I hope this helps.

If the EXE is not encrypted (by Refox or VFP), you can use the free yRecover
tool by Yuri Rubinov to extract VCX, SCX and FRX files from APP and EXE. You
can get it here:

This VFP tool works with VFP6, VFP7 and VFP8 EXE/APP files. Not sure about
VFP3 and VFP5.

Hi Eric:

Thanks for the reference to Yuri Rubinov's utility. I made a note of it
and will keep it for future reference.
