VFP forms editor replacement
There is a very cool tool in UT VFP Downloads section. It is a custom application created by UT member Gregory Green for replacing the internal VFP editor for the forms. Features include syntax highlighting, tooltips, code completion, member lists, column highlighting, line numbering, change control indicators, bookmarking, and much more. The editor is based on third-party ActiveX control. Gregory personally gave me its demonstration when I have been in Chicago a few weeks ago for my own presentation about Interceptor-type classe at Chicago FoxPro User Group.
