I think that's a no brainer, of course we would want to have those abilities.

Those are exciting things to look forward too. One of the things I've been wanting is a better way to host some of these things in VFP. Currently the only way I know hosting a WinForm style control is either by wrapping it in an ActiveX control or hosting it in explorer. Niether of which I have attempted yet. A VFP host container for these things would by high on my wish list.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for integration.
