> If you look at the new features added in VFP 9.0 and then compare them to what was posted here on the UT and in the Wish List and other, you will see that we do listen to you, possibly better than most other Microsoft products and even better than many other products on the market.

I agree, and this has been one of VFP's strongest points for years!

> If you have feedback you think is not being heard by Microsoft, you and anyone can always let me know and that has been the case for many years.

Well, I guess you have heard it before, but what is really sorely needed in VFP is an update of the UI controls to allow for more modern UIs. For example:
- A native treeview would be wonderful. The activeX version can be used, sure, but it is a hassle, and does not always play well with refreshes etc.
- The grid control could use quite a lot of improvements as well: Make it hierarchical (sort of like a combination of a treeview and a grid - I'm sure you know what I mean). Furthermore, it would be great if the grid could use other data sources than a cursor (or if the listbox could offer more of the same functionality as the grid)
- A container should be scrollable, and ideally, have the ability to use its own data session


Thanks for listening,

Eyvind.
