I haven't been able to find much regarding VFP on Windows 11 so I assume there are no major issues. Anyone know of any problems with running VFP desktop apps on Windows 11?
Thanks, Carl.
I haven't seen any differences between Windows 11 and Windows 10 in my applications... it's basically an unchanged environment as far as desktop applications are concerned.

Thanks, Rick.

So far, my VFP9 Desktop App is working without issue on Win11.

I just wanted to add to this link.
Converted a VFP7 app to VFP9. SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR 70 SET REPORTBEHAVIOR 80
We are having issues with reports that are designed as landscape. The reports are cleaned. Report field expr has only.. ORIENTATION=1 PAPERSIZE=1 PAPERLENGTH=2794 PAPERWIDTH=2159 COLOR=2
The issue is on windows 11 only. When you issue the REPORT FORM command with TO PRINTER PROMPT, The Windows dialog does not say Landscape but defaults to the default in the printer which is PORTRAIT.
Not sure why the Windows dialog is not being changed to landscape. If you just print it prints PORTRAIT as expected. If you change to landscape, it prints landscape as expected.
I have not resolved this issue.
Revision 04/18/2023 Problem seems to be with Windows 11 (11 22H2). New print dialog introduced. Found this solution option. https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/restore-legacy-print-dialog-windows-11/
Don't worry about it; that works for me
Hey Carl, I've used VFP on Windows 11, and it seems to work pretty smoothly. Most compatibility issues have been ironed out. Just make sure your apps are updated and keep an eye on any specific dependencies. Here's a guide about updating windows. You should be good to go!
Carl, I can tell you I am still on Windows 10 for development so compiling is done in Windows 10. My desktop is running on many Windows 11 workstations both via RDP (RemoteApp) and not. Hundreds of users, app contains about every possibility you can imagine including lots of COM servers, etc. I have no issues. John
Windows 11 lacks some VFP libraries. I run Windows on my Macs under Parallels. My Dealmaster Pro Bridge-playing software runs fine on Windows 10, but fails on Windows 11...due to at least one missing support file. So I'm still running Windows 10, and must continue to do so if I want to run that VFP software. Is there a solution for this?
I should mention that my primary machine is a 2019 iMac with an Intel processor. I'd like to move to an M4 processor Mac system.
Unless it's a third party ActiveX control I don't thing anything changes in Windows 11 in regards to libraries. I have several very UI heavy VFP applications that I still use that have no issues on Windows 11. However, you may have to review exactly what you install with your app as there may be files that you need to explicitly install that were previously OS installed (ie. the various merge modules, and Windows OCX controls, MSXML...)
