Hi herman,

You did a great job.. thanks for that. I'm very impressed...

One question however, if I like to replace my standard VFP menubar with your overdrawnmenus and still want to use the SKIP FOR clause to be executes everytime the menu is displayed, how would I do that best in your classes ??

Thanks,

Walter,




>>Today I was demoing our new application. The customer is a large company who wants to buy sales software for it's distributors. We were explaining the technical architecture of our solution after reviewing the full functionality and some of the IT guys (from a large IT department working with .NET for years) asked me wich development language we used. I asked them what do they tought it was and gave them 4 choices: VB.Net, C#, Java an VFP . For making it interesting, I challenged them with a $20 bet. Both accepted, played with the tool for a couple minutes. One choose C# , the other VB.NET.
>>They could't believe that my APP was pure VFP with GDI classes (outlook3bar, a modified version of ownerdrawnmenus, ribbon bar and a some other GDI stuff). I had to show them the code.
