>>Our plans do not include changing or enhancing how ActiveX controls are hosted on VFP forms...

The current ActiveX hosting capabilities are good in VFP. I think my request here was possible better directed at the C# development team. I currently have a control I picked up that was written in C# that I would love to be able to include on one of my VFP forms, unfortunately from what I can see the explorer solution that I mentioned requires a web host and when I look at putting it into an ActiveX wrapper, most of the posts I see point to problems & headaches with doing this. (Maybe I'm missing something here... but I have a gut feeling I'm not going to see a good solution for this.)

>>but in how VFP can call and use external forms such as .NET WinForms, Avalong forms, etc.

Boy that brings up a lot of questions, most of which I suspect you can't answer yet. But it will be interesting to see how databinding is handled and how we will be able to interact with those forms.

Manipulating XAML code from VFP looks like it would be as easy as manipulating HTML, so I see alot of cool possibilities with that one.

Looking forward to next month and hopefully more details.
