For command line options that process is typically handled through Console output.Īlas, FoxPro - or for that matter any Windows application - can't output to Console by default. Specifically the process I'm working on is for Help File build automation with command line - you tell Html Help Builder to do a Help File compile and build - this process may take a little while and it be nice to provide some basic status information. Along the way it would be nice to provide a little information, especially if something goes wrong. ![]() But if you pass in a few specific parameters it will crunch away at some options and then exit. When the app starts with no parameters it just runs the desktop app. ![]() Here's the issue: I have a Visual FoxPro application that is a desktop application - Html Help Builder - but that also has command line options for a variety of tasks. However I'm posting it anyway to give some insights that might prove helpful to others and a partial solution that might address some limited scenarios that only need to generate display output to the console. I'm starting this post with a disclaimer: This post doesn't have a full solution to the problem I was aiming to solve.
