Coverage Engine Object
| Category | Reporting |
|---|---|
| Class | cov_engine |
| Class Library | coverage.vcx |
| Base Class | formset |
| Parent Class | scov_formset |
This formset is not a subclass of _formset, therefore the Coverage Profiler runs in Visual FoxPro 5.0 and later.
Remarks
This class is subclassed from the Visual FoxPro formset class. Though it provides no visible components, it provides the datatsession of a formset class and includes provisions for feedback on coverage log processing through WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT, MESSAGEBOX( ), and subclasses of MSComDlg.CommonDialog. This formset has one member, a toolbar, that remains hidden while providing a container for custom objects, such as CusRegistry or Dialog subclasses. Cov_standard, a subclass of cov_engine, provides a sample user interface, the Coverage Profiler Application. You can subclass either cov_engine or cov_standard to fit your requirements.
aAddIns array Property
This one-dimensional array holds a list of registered add-in files.
Default .F. (the array will be dimensioned [1])
aFileTypes array Property
This two-dimensional array holds a list of the file types (extensions) the Coverage Profiler handles. The first column holds the extension listed in the coverage text log (such as .fxp or .vct). The second column holds the extension of the matching source code file (such as .prg or .vcx) that the Coverage Profiler must locate to analyze the code. This array is filled at startup by the FillFileTypeArray( ) method.
Default .F. (the array will be dimensioned [1, 2])
cAddIn Property
Specifies the add-in last run successfully. At startup this property can be set by an add-in passed to the Coverage Profiler application as a parameter and run in the Init. Otherwise, if add-in file names have been stored to the registry previously, this property is filled using the aAddIns array.
Default ""
cBaseFontName Property
Specifies a base font name for any interface elements. The default for this attribute when no preference has been saved to the registry is the #DEFINE constant COV_DEFAULT_BASE_FONTNAME in COV_TUNE.H.
Default MS Sans Serif
cBaseMonoFontName Property
Specifies a base font name for any interface elements that require a monospaced font.
The default for this attribute when no preference has been saved to the registry is, first, any Visual FoxPro resource file entry for MODIFY COMMAND window preferences. Otherwise, the coverage engine looks for a Visual FoxPro registry entry for the Trace window. If one of these is not found, the coverage engine uses the #DEFINE constant COV_DEFAULT_MONO_FONTNAME in COV_TUNE.H.
Default Courier New
cCovFilesAlias Property
Specifies the name of the cursor holding names of source files the Coverage Profiler should not locate and analyze. The engine fills this cursor with a set of file names using the CreateCoverageFileNameCursor( ) and FillCoverageFileNameCursor( ) methods. You can use the coverage engine abstract AdjustCoverageFileNameCursor( ) method to add file names to the set.
Default IgnoredFiles
cDefaultWritePath Property
Specifies the path to cSourceFile. Supplies the default path for any file output of the Coverage Profiler.
Default ""
cMarkExecuted Property
Specifies the character(s) that marks lines of code that executed according to the current coverage log. Although this property defaults to an empty string, the engine uses the SetMarks( ) procedure to adjust the length of cMarkExecuted and cMarkNotExecuted to equal lengths so the appearance of marked code is unspoiled. At startup, therefore, cMarkExecuted's value is SPACE(4), to match the default length of cMarkNotExecuted.
Default ""
cMarkNotExecuted Property
Specifies the character(s) that marks lines of code not run during the current coverage log.
Default |+SPACE(3)
cSavedSkipFiles Property
Specifies the name of the table (.dbf) file that contains the list of source files skipped during coverage analysis.
Default ""
cSavedTargetDBF Property
Specifies the name of the table (.dbf) file that contains the coverage results.
Default ""
cSkippedAlias Property
Specifies the name of the cursor which holds names of source files the Coverage Profiler could not locate or analyze. The engine fills this cursor using the CreateSkippedCursor( ) method and saves it to disk using the SaveSkippedCursor( ) method.
Default SkippedFiles
cSourceAlias Property
Specifies the name of the source which holds the appended and processed records stored by the coverage text log. The engine creates this cursor in the CreateSourceCursor( ) method and provides the abstract AdjustSourceCursor( ) method so you can add fields, index tags, and so on. Then the engine fills the cursor with records from the text log in the FillSourceCursor( ) method.
Default FromLog
cSourceFile Property
Specifies the name of the file to be analyzed. You can specify this value as the first parameter of the DO (_COVERAGE) WITH command.
Default ""
cSuspendedLog Property
Specifies the name of the current coverage log (SET(COVERAGE)) if the Coverage Profiler suspends coverage data logging. This property is set with the SuspendCoverage( ) method.
Default ""
cTargetAlias Property
Specifies the target cursor which holds the names of classes, source file names, coverage-marked procedure source code, and coverage statistics. The engine creates this cursor in the CreateTargetCursor( ) method and provides the abstract AdjustTargetCursor( ) method so you can add fields, tags, and so on. Then the coverage engine locates and analyses source code in the FillTargetCursor( ) method.
Default MarkedCode
iLenExecuting
Specifies the length of the field in the source work file that contains information about the object and method name that is running covered lines of code when the #DEFINE COV_TOPSPEED in COV_TUNE.H is false (.F.). You can decrease the default value, with care, if your fully-qualified object names and method names are short and if you want to conserve the disk space used by the Profiler work files. See COV_TUNE.H for more information about this value. See Conserving Disk Space During Coverage Runs for more information on using iLenExecuting.
Default 115
iLenDuration
Specifies the length, including decimal places, of the numeric field in the source file.
Default 8 (in Visual FoxPro versions 5.0 and 6.0. Defaults to 11 in later versions.)
iLenHostFile
Default 115
iLenObjClass
Specifies the length of a field in the source and target work files that holds information about the object executing Covered lines of code when the #DEFINE COV_TOPSPEED in COV_TUNE.H is false (.F.). To conserve the disk space used by the Profiler work files, you can decrease the default value, with care, if your object names are short. You can do this even when object names are fully-qualified by their container hierarchy. See COV_TUNE.H for more information about this value. See Conserving Disk Space During Coverage Runs for more information on using iLenObjClass.
Default 115
lBaseFontBold Property
Specifies a base font attribute (bold) for any displayed characters.
Default .F.
lBaseFontItalic Property
Specifies a base font attribute (italic) for any displayed characters.
Default .F.
lBaseMonoFontBold Property
Specifies a base font attribute (bold) for any displayed characters that require a monospaced font.
Default .F.
lBaseMonoFontItalic Property
Specifies a base font attribute (italic) for any displayed characters that require a monospaced font.
Default .F.
lError Property
A flag that specifies an error occurred; set by the Error method and checked by critical operations during processing.
Default .F.
lInCoverageFrame Property
Specifies whether the Coverage Profiler opens in the main Visual FoxPro window. The default displays Coverage Profiler elements in a separate window.
Default .F.
lInProfileMode Property
Specifies whether the Coverage Profiler analyzes the coverage log for profiling characteristics. In the default setting, the Coverage Profiler analyses for coverage characteristics.
Default .F.
lMarkAllOnLoad Property
Specifies whether all source code is marked when a target file is loaded. In the default setting, individual source code records are marked one at a time as required by the user.
Default .F.
lSaveFormPositions Property
Specifies whether all forms in the formset receive an instance of cov_SavePosition to handle form positions and size.
Default .F.
lSmartPath Property
Specifies whether the engine retains a reference to directories in which you have located files.
Default .T.
lStartInProfileMode Property
Specifies how the lInProfileMode property is set when each coverage log loads. This value is significant when the property lMarkAllOnLoad is set to true (.T.).
Default .F.
lTurnedOffTrace Property
Specifies whether the Coverage Profiler issued SET TRBETWEEN OFF during processing.
Default .F.
lUsingRegistry Property
Specifies whether user options are saved to and restored from the Microsoft Windows registry.
Default .T.
lUsingStatusBar Property
Determines whether feedback messages during processing are displayed in the status bar or as a WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT message. The status bar is used when the Coverage Profiler runs in the main Visual FoxPro window or in Unattended mode and STATUS BAR is ON.
Default .F.
lVFP5 Property
Specifies whether the Coverage Profiler is running in Visual FoxPro 5.0.
Default (ATC("FoxPro 05",VERSION( )) > 0)
nBasefontsize Property
Specifies a base font size for any displayed characters.
Default 11 (defaults to 8 in version 5.0 and 6.0)
oFrame Property
Specifies a reference to the Coverage Frame window when the Coverage Profiler exists in a separate window. The engine makes sure this window exists before displaying any related dialog boxes or other elements (including common dialog subclasses, SET TALK display, and so on).
Default .NULL.

CreateForms( )
Return Values
None
Parameters
None
CreateSkippedCursor( ) Method
The engine creates this cursor by looking for deleted records in the Source table, because skipped records are deleted when the engine encounters file names that cannot be located or that are in the Ignored Files list during its load of the log file. See the CSkippedAlias property.
CreateSkippedCursor(tcSource, tcSkipped)

Specifies the message that appears in the MESSAGEBOX. - TnMessageBoxOptions
Specifies the MESSAGEBOX nDialogBoxType setting. - TcMessageBoxTitle
Specifies the MESSAGEBOX cTitleBarText setting. - LiReturn
Specifies any return value from MESSAGEBOX( ), or 0 if a WAIT WINDOW executes.
Remarks
If the Coverage Profiler is running in Unattended mode, the message is displayed in a WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT window so it does not prevent further processing. You can specify the timeout value using COV_TIMEOUT_SECS (a #DEFINE in COV_TUNE.H).
Error( ) Method
Sets the dialog error flag.
Error(nError, cMethod, nLine)
Return Values
None
Parameters
- nError
Specifies the Visual FoxPro error number. - CMethod
Specifies the name of the method that caused the error. - NLine
Specifies the line number where the error occurred.
Remarks
Depending on the value of COV_DEBUG (a #DEFINE in COV_TUNE.H), this will display an error MESSAGEBOX and release the engine or display a WAIT WINDOW with error information and invoke the native Visual FoxPro error handler to make it possible for you to cancel, suspend, or ignore the current error.
FillCoverageFileNameCursor( ) Method
Adds files to the list of ignored files.
FillCoverageFileNameCursor( )
Return Values
NOT THIS.lError
Parameters
None
Remarks
CreateCoverageFileNameCursor( ) calls this method to add the names of the coverage engine file set to the group of files that should be ignored during processing. This method is a hard-coded set of INSERTs in the base coverage engine. You can override this set in a subclass designed to read in a set of file names from a text file generated from the Coverage.pjx file list.
FillFileTypeArray( ) Method
Initializes the aFileTypes array with known file extensions. See the aFileTypes property.
FillFileTypeArray( )
Return Values
NOT(EMPTY(THIS.aFileTypes[1,1]) OR THIS.lError)
Parameters
None
FillOneTargetRecord( ) Method
Adds unmarked source code to memo field.
FillOneTargetRecord(tcSource, tcTarget, tlFillingAll)
Return Values
lReturn AND(NOT THIS*.lError)*
Parameters
- tcSource
Specifies the name of the table containing the source records. - TcTarget
Specifies the name of the table being modified. - TlFillingAll
Specifies whether all records are processed in a loop, which changes the user feedback and displayed character handling.
Remarks
Places the unmarked source code for a target record into the appropriate memo field for later marking using a different strategy to find the right code for each type of source code. When COV_TOPSPEED is not #DEFINEd true (.T.), this method also places certain initial statistics into the Target file.
FillSourceCursor( ) Method
APPENDs the coverage log contents to the coverage analysis source file.
FillSourceCursor(tcSource)
Return Values
lReturn
Parameters
- tcSource
Specifies the name of the source file.
Remarks
This method calls the SourceAvailable( ) method to eliminate records that refer to source files unavailable for analysis. It marks these records deleted in the source cursor.
FillTargetCursor( ) Method
Calls the FillOneTargetRecord( ) method for all target records in a loop.
FillTargetCursor(tcTarget)
Return Values
(THIS*.iTargetReccount >* 0**AND NOT THIS*.lError*)
Parameters
- tcTarget
Specifies the target file that receives the processed results.
Remarks
Replicates the ObjHits statistics from the CreateTargetCursor( ) method for additional records referring to the same source files with the target files. See the CreateTargetCursor( ) method.
FilterListByLocation( ) Method
Provides a placeholder for future enhancements.
FilterListByLocation( )
Return Values
NOT THIS.lError
Parameters
None
Remarks
FilterListByLocation( ) can be called either when a log loads or in response to a user action, with or without the Coverage Profiler application. This method is abstract in the engine.
GetAlias( ) Method
Returns the current or default alias of a Coverage Profiler workfile type.
GetAlias(tAlias, tcWhichProp)
Returns
cReturn
Parameters
- tAlias
Specifies the alias of a file. - tcWhichProp
Specifies the workfile type (currently, either Source or Target) of the current default.
Remarks
GetAlias( ) returns either a currently used alias or the default alias of one of the Coverage Profiler workfile types. The valid workfile types include the following:
"SOURCE","TARGET","SKIPPED","COVFILES", and "PROJECT"
(The list of types is #DEFINEd in COV_SPEC.H as COV_KNOWN_ALIAS_PROPERTIES.) Each workfile type matches one c…Alias property to specify the default alias for this workfile.
The Coverage Profiler usually has a cursor open using each one of the workfile default aliases. However, the Coverage Profiler is capable of handling many sets of workfiles at the same time, within its data session, as long as you specify separate aliases for each one. The GetAlias( ) method and the system of defined work types, plus c…Alias, properties make it possible for you to have default alias names without the default aliases being hard-coded.
The engine methods that process the workfiles use aliases as parameters, so you can specify which source, target, or other file you are interested in at any time. Because you usually are interested only in one set of workfiles, however, these methods all use the GetAlias( ) methods to specify which alias and workfile default type to seek if you do not pass them a specific alias or aliases.
GetFontsFromUser( ) Method
Creates an instance of a common dialog subclass to ask the user to set font properties. If lUsingOCXs is False (.F.) or there has been an error creating an instance of the common dialog, the method uses the GETFONT( ) method. If the first parameter, tlBaseMonoFont, is True (.T.), the method shows only monospaced fonts and fills the monospaced font attribute properties of the engine. If this parameter is False (.F.), the second set of base font attribute properties is filled from a list of all available screen fonts.
See to the GetResourceLocation( ) method for more information on the lUsingOCXs property.
GetFontsFromUser(tlBaseMonoFont, toMemberHost )
Return Values
lFontChange AND NOT THIS.lError
Parameters
- tlBaseMonoFont
Specifies the default monospace font style. - ToMemberHost
Specifies a reference to the current Coverage object.
GetProjectStatistics( ) Method
Creates a cursor containing project information.
GetStatistics(tcSource, tcTarget, tcProject)
Return Values
lReturn
Parameters
- tcSource
Specifies the name of the alias containing the source records. - tcTarget
Specifies the name of the alias being modified. - tcProject
Specifies the project containing the source files.
Remarks
The information contained in the cursor is in the following format.
CREATE CURSOR(cProject) ;
(Hostfile c(COV_LEN_HOSTFILE), ;FileType c(4), ;Coverable n(8), ;Covered n(8), ;ObjTotal n(8), ;ObjHits n(8))
GetProjectStatistics( ) creates a header file in this cursor, indicating the project to which this cursor applies and fills this cursor with statistics drawn from the current coverage log that apply to each source file in the project. If necessary, GetProjectStatistics( ) calls MarkOneTargetRecord( ) for any project files that have not yet had their source code marked.
GetRegisteredAddins( ) Method
Fills the aAddIns array and the cAddIn property.
GetRegisteredAddins( )
Return Values
None
Parameters
None
GetRegistryKeyValue( ) Method
Retrieves registry value of user option
GetRegistryKeyValue(tcOption, tDefaultValue, tcPath)
Return Values
vReturn
Parameters
- tcOption
Specifies the file type option. - tDefaultValue
Specifies the default registry value. - tcPath
Specifies RegKey.
Remarks
This method, typically used at startup, uses the registry-handling member of the toolbar in the engine formset to get a registry key value for a user option. It converts the registry value to other TYPE( )s as required and compares this TYPE( ) to the passed value, tDefaultValue. It returns the registry value or the default value if the registry value is not found or is of the wrong type.
GetResourceLocation( ) Method
Specifies whether GETFILE( )/ShowOpen( ) strategy or PUTFILE( )/ShowSave( ) strategy is followed.
GetResourceLocation(tcHost, tcTitle, tcCDLFilter, tcFileName, tcWhichDialog, [toMemberHost] )
Return Values
lcFileName
Parameters
- tcHost
Specifies the name of the file the method is starting from, usually seeking the matching file name of the uncompiled version of the code. If it is passed, it provides information for the common file dialog .InitDir property. - tcTitle
Specifies the title to use in the dialog or, in the GETFILE( )/PUTFILE( ) version, to use as a WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT prompt. If tcHost also is passed and includes a file name, then this information is added to the dialog title or prompt. - tcCDLFilter
Specifies the file types allowed in the dialog. This parameter is expressed in the format required by the common dialog filter expression. If the GETFILE( )/PUTFILE( ) is called, the method parses the common dialog filter to put it into appropriate format for the two Visual FoxPro functions. - tcFileName
Specifies the default file name to display. - tcWhichDialog
Specifies the GETFILE or PUTFILE. - toMemberHost
Specifies an optional form reference that can be passed to indicate where the dialog is displayed. If toMemberHost is not passed, the file dialog will display relative to the Coverage frame (if the Coverage frame exists) or to the first form in the formset collection (if the Coverage Profiler is in the Visual FoxPro window).
Remarks
Adds a member of the appropriate common dialog subclass (depending on the value of tcWhichDialog) if this is the first call. The dialog subclasses differ in how they set various flags.
Note This method provides for additional dialog subclasses, showing a Help file or print dialog, to be instantiated and used in the future.
If a common dialog subclass or .ocx-related error occur in the Coverage Profiler, this method sets the lUsingOCXs property to false (.F.) and uses GETFILE( )/PUTFILE( ).
You can set the #DEFINE COV_USE_OCXS if you prefer to default to the native Visual FoxPro functions even if there are no OCX errors.
GetTableName( ) Method
Generates file names for unattended operation.
GetTableName(tcWhichSuffix)
Return Values
cLogfileStem+SUFFIX[+n]+.dbf
Parameters
- tcWhichSuffix
Specifies which file extension to use.
Remarks
This method allows the coverage engine to generate file names with which to save its work to disk without overwriting existing files. Generally it just supplies file name defaults, but in Unattended mode, this method creates the file names without user intervention. Each method that saves a file to disk calls GetTableName( ) with a specific suffix; for example, in the SaveSkippedCursor:
cDBFName = ; THIS.GetTableName(COV_SKIPFILEDBF_SUFFIX)
GetTableName( ) uses the path and stem of the current log file name (THIS.cSourceFile) and attaches the appropriate suffix to this stem plus a digit, followed by the DBF extension. For example, Testlog.txt would produce TESTLOG_SKIP1.DBF in the previous example.
GetTableName( ) then increments the digit if the generated file name exists, until it finds a name that does not exist.
The default suffixes are #DEFINEs in COV_TUNE.H.
LockScreens( ) Method
Freezes or releases LockScreen properties and MousePointer properties for all members of _Screen during various long procedures.
LockScreens(tlOn)
Return Values
Logical. .T.
Parameters
- tlOn
Specifies whether to lock the Lockscreen and MousePointer properties.
MarkAllTargetRecords( ) Method
Calls the MarkOneTargetRecord( ) method for all target records in a loop. Can be called because lMarkAllOnLoad is true (.T.) or because the coverage engine is in Unattended mode.
MarkAllTargetRecords(tcSource, tcTarget)
Return Values
NOT THIS*.lError*
Parameters
- tcSource
Specifies the name of the table containing the source records. - tcTarget
Specifies the name of the table being modified.
MarkCodeLine( ) Method
Creates a marked-up version of a line of code, plus coverage statistics.
MarkCodeLine(tcLine, tiExecuted, tnFirst, tnAverage)
Return Values
CMarkedLine
Parameters
- tcLine
Specifies the line of code. - tiExecuted
Specifies the number of times tcLine was run. - tnAverage
Specifies the average length of time to run.
Remarks
In Coverage mode, MarkCodeLine( ) marks code as "Executed" if tiExecuted is a positive number and "not Executed" if tiExecuted is 0. In Profile mode, MarkCodeLine( ) marks coverage statistics appropriately for the line. In either mode, MarkCodeLine( ) marks code as uncoverable (preceded by spaces) if tiExecuted is .NULL.
MarkOneTargetRecord( ) Method
Determines the marked status of the current line.
MarkOneTargetRecord(tcSource, tcTarget, tlFillingAll)
Return Values
lReturn AND (NOT THIS*.lError)*
Parameters
- tcSource
Specifies the name of the table containing the source records. - tcTarget
Specifies the record being modified. - tlFillingAll
Specifies whether other target records are being processed. If all records are processed in a loop, then the user feedback and handling of displayed characters changes.
Remarks
Determines whether the current target record, tcTarget, is already marked in the current coverage mode and, if not, passes the relevant information to the MarkTargetCoverage( ) method for processing.
MarkTargetCoverage( ) Method
Marks up a copy of the source and REPLACEs a memo field in the target file.
MarkTargetCoverage(tcSource, tcTarget)
Return Values
NOT (EMPTY(cMemo) OR THIS.lError)
Parameters
- tcSource
Specifies the name of the table containing the source records. - tcTarget
Specifies the name of the table being modified.
Remarks
MarkTargetCoverage( ) creates a marked-up version of tcSource and REPLACEs a memo field in the target file, tcTarget, (whether the code is for a class or a full procedure file).
To perform this action, the method starts with the sourcecode memo. The memo field REPLACEd depends on whether Coverage Profiler is marking Profiler or Coverage information, because the Target record retains both sets of marked-up code. This method parses the source code and evaluates its statistics line by line. By default, this method calls the MarkCodeLine( ) method to mark each line when it has the appropriate statistics. However, the way this method marks the code line is #DEFINEd as COV_MARK_CODE_LINE in COV_TUNE.H, not directly implemented as a call to the MarkCodeLine( ) method. This makes it possible for you to replace the call to the MarkCodeLine( ) method with a different marking system. A second #DEFINE, COV_TOPSPEED, in COV_TUNE.H also makes it possible for you to switch the MarkCodeLine( ) call to a simpler, in-line marking system for fastest response time.
MarkTargetCoverage( ) evaluates each line to find out whether it was executed, how many times it was executed, and its execution timings (first and average) when in Profile mode. However, many lines are considered uncoverable in Coverage Profiler. These lines, such as comments, DEFINE CLASS and ELSE/Otherwise statements, and lines within TEXT … ENDTEXT, do not appear in coverage logs, because they are not executable.
Note Other uncoverable code lines include #DEFINE statements, empty lines, continuations of executing lines, and parameter lines.
This method sets the number of times these lines run to .NULL. These lines are not considered when Coverage Profiler compiles statistics. In addition, lines broken by continuation symbols (semicolons) are considered as a single line of code and marked only on the last line.
OrderListByTime( ) Method
Provides a placeholder for future enhancements and subclasses.
OrderListByTime( )
Return Values
NOT THIS.lError
Parameters
None
Remarks
OrderListByTime( ) is abstract in the engine.
PassedProperParams( ) Method
PassedProperParams(tcFile, tlUnattended, tcAddIn)
Return Values
lReturn
Parameters
- tcFile
Specifies the name of the log file. - tlUnattended
Specifies whether to run in Unattended mode. - tcAddIn
Specifies the add-in file name(s).
Remarks
Test at startup to determine whether passed parameters are appropriate to the class. If any passed parameters are not appropriate TYPE( ), provides a MESSAGEBOX showing what parameters may be passed and RETURNs false (.F.), preventing any further coverage processing, as well as the creation of an instance of the class.
This method uses a MESSAGEBOX for feedback and stops processing even if the Coverage Profiler is starting up in Unattended mode. If you are setting up the Coverage Profiler for automated testing, be sure your calling program sends correct parameters or the analysis will not proceed.
RestoreCoverage( ) Method
Resumes coverage logging from suspended operation.
RestoreCoverage( )
Return Values
None
Parameters
None
Remarks
If the Coverage Profiler previously suspended coverage logging, this method gives the user a chance to resume coverage logging when the Coverage Profiler releases. The user can choose to overwrite this previous log, append new log entries to it, or not resume coverage logging at that time.
RunAddin( ) Method
Runs an add-in file.
RunAddin(tcAddin)
Return Values
lReturn AND NOT THIS*.lError*
Parameters
- tcAddin
Specifies the name of the file to run.
Remarks
RunAddin( ) runs a file (.scx, .fxp, .app, .prg, .qpx, .qpr, .mpx, or .mpr) that adds functionality to the Coverage object. If you do not pass a file name, RunAddin( ) runs the file specified by the cAddIn property.
The tcAddin file must accept an object reference, because the file is run by passing a reference to the coverage form, as in the following examples (depending on the file type):
DO (cFileName) WITH THIS
DO FORM (cFileName) WITH THIS
SaveFormsetAttributes( ) Method
Saves general frame and formset characteristivs to the registry as Profiler ends.
SaveFormsetAttributes( )
Return Values
None
Parameters
None
SaveOptionsToRegistry( ) Method
Saves current user values to the registry.
SaveOptionsToRegistry( )
Return Values
lSuccess
Parameters
None
Remarks
SaveOptionsToRegistry( ) can be called any time the user's current values should be saved to the registry. It saves the following user preferences:
- Work options group
lStartInProfileModelSmartPathlMarkAllOnLoadcMarkExecutedcMarkNotExecutedlRegisterAddIn - UI options group
Font name, size, italic, bold for base monospace font
There are a few registry settings not saved by this method, because they have to be done at specific moments during the life of the engine. These are:
Coverage or the main Visual FoxPro frame (must be done when the user makes a choice and will be in effect next session but does not correspond to or affect any of the coverage property values for this session).
Registered add-ins (this array is manipulated over the life of the session, and the full set of file names it contains is saved to the registry at the end of the session).
SaveSkippedCursor( ) Method
Saves the skipped files cursor to disk.
SaveSkippedCursor(tcSkipped)
Return Values
RETURN NOT THIS.lError
Parameters
- tcSkipped
Specifies the cursor containing skipped records.
Remarks
Saves the skipped files cursor to disk if it contains any records and places the name of the table on disk in the cSavedSkipFiles property. See the cSkippedAlias and cSavedSkipFiles properties.
SaveTargetToDisk( ) Method
Saves output file, including marked-up code and statistics, to disk.
SaveTargetToDisk(tcTarget)
Return Values
lReturn and NOT THIS*.lError*
Parameters
- tcTarget
Specifies the name of the modified table saved to disk.
SetFontValues( ) Method
Sets up initial font attribute values using registry key values and other defaults.
SetFontValues( )
Return Values
NOT THIS*.lError*
Parameters

Reads and restores general frame and formset characteristics.
SetFormsetAttributes( )
Return Values
None
Parameters
None
Remarks

Attempts to set up a file for analysis.
SetLogFile(tcFile)
Return Values
lReturn
Parameters
- tcFile
Specifies the name of the file to analyze.
Remarks
If you pass no string value, the SET COVERAGE value is used. If there is no current log file, the method prompts for a file name. If a log file can be set successfully, the method returns .T. If the user designates no log file, the method returns. F. If no new log is specified, the Coverage Engine returns to the currently loaded log, if one is loaded, or releases, if no log is loaded.
SetMarks( ) Method
Synchronizes and returns the values of cMarkExecuted and cMarkNotExecuted.
SetMarks( )
Return Values
NOT THIS*.lError*
Parameters
None
Remarks
Synchronizes the lengths of cMarkExecuted and cMarkNotExecuted and returns the values of either or both properties to a default if they are not character-type or both properties are empty. If user options are not available from the registry, this method gets defaults from the #DEFINE values, COV_DEFAULT_MARKNOTEXECUTED and COV_DEFAULT_MARKEXECUTED, which you can set in COV_TUNE.H. A third #DEFINE, COV_DEFAULT_MARKSPACING, makes sure there is space between the marks and the line of code.

NOT THIS.lError
Parameters
- tcWhichOption
Specifies the user option to be accessed. - tValue
Specifies the value of tcWhichOption.
Remarks
SetRegistryKeyValue( ) uses the registry-handling member of the toolbar in the engine formset to set a registry key value from a user option. It converts all values to string type before sending them to the registry-handler to apply to the registry.
SetUIFonts( ) Method
Provides font preferences.
SetUIFonts( )
Return Values
NOT THIS*.lError*

SetUIToShowCode( ) Method
Enables display of current target record in new log.
SetUIToShowCode(tcTarget)
Return Values
NOT THIS*.lError*
Parameters
- tcTarget
Specifies the name of the table being modified.
Remarks
Abstract in the engine, called at the end of SetupWorkFiles( ) to allow UI to show current Target record in the newly loaded log.

Enables reporting of log loading status.
SetUIToShowFileStates(tcSource, tcTarget)
Return Values
NOT THIS*.lError*
Parameters
- tcSource

Remarks
Abstract in the engine, called at the end of SetupWorkFiles( ) to allow UI to indicate success or failure or current attempt to load a log.
SetUpWorkFiles( ) Method
Sets and validates a coverage log.
SetupWorkFiles(tcLogFile, tcSource, tcTarget)
Return Values
lReturn AND NOT THIS.lError
Parameters
- TcLogFile
Specifies the name of the text log to analyze. - tcSource
Specifies the name of the file to use as source. - tcTarget
Specifies the name of the cursor being modified.
Remarks
SetUpWorkFiles( ) sets and validates a coverage log and then creates and fills the source and target work files for this text log. If the user choice is the same as the log file currently loaded, the method asks the user whether the log should be reloaded and analyzed. It makes sure the log is not open in a text window before loading the log. If the user specifies lMarkAllOnLoad, it marks all records in the current mode (Coverage or Profile) after successfully filling the target file with source code entries. If Coverage Profiler is in Unattended mode, it marks all records in both Coverage and Profile mode after successfully filling the target file. If the load succeeds, this method also sets the cDefaultWritePath to mark the path of the text log and the cSourceFile property to hold the name of this text log.
SetWorkOptions( ) Method
Sets initial user defined options.
SetWorkOptions( )
Return Values
NOT THIS*.lError*
Parameters

SourceAvailable( )
Return Values
lReturn
Parameters
None
Remarks
SourceAvailable( ) calls GetSourceLoc( ) if necessary to locate uncompiled source code. If the lSmarthPath property is true (.T.), it uses AddPath( ) to adjust SET (PATH) as the user specifies directories in which to find source files. RETURNs false (.F.) if the source file is on the Ignored Files list, if the file is of an unknown type, or if the uncompiled source code cannot be found.
SourceFileIsLog( ) Method
Checks the file name held in the cSourceFile property for valid coverage log format.

Holds the name of the saved Coverage stacklevel analysis in XML form, after this file has been saved to disk. Set back to default ("") when you load a new log.
lStackXMLExtendedTree Property
If .T., then it generates more extensive StackXML, so profiling of each branch can assess effects of args and other factors for different invocations of a module. Defaults to .F. but if COV_LOAD_STACK_FROM_DBF is .T., then this more extensive XML is generated always.
ShowStackXML( )
ShowStackXML(tclog)
Returns
Logical. .T. if successful.
Parameters
- tcLog
Specifies the name of the log file.
Remarks
ShowStackXML( ) calls GetStackXML(tcLog) and DisplayStackXML(tcXMLFile) to run coverage analysis figures against a specific Visual Foxpro project set of files. The tcLog argument is ignored if DEFINEd COV_LOAD_STACK_FROM_DBF is .T.
