Hi Samuel,

thanks a lot for this info and the links. It's very impressive and cool. Good luck for the further steps.

Look at PROCEDURE oCheckBox.DblClick and PROCEDURE oButton1.Click. And you can override any method as you do in VFP. That functionality is not possible with other .NET languages, and as you know that is cornerstone to Visual Inheritance something very powerful and not available in the other .NET languages, and now it is debuting in .NET through our compiler.

>As you may infer from the sample, we are just a step from just turning your VCX and SCX into .NET Classes. What is stopping us from that is that there is not a tool that turns VCX / SCX into the text representation required for the compiler. The ClassBrowser while allows you to export a VCX / SCX to PRG, generates wrong code for methods inside nested controls. So we'll have to fix the Export Routine for that, that is easy because our TableLayer 64 bits, can read and work with VCX and SCX as VFP does.

>Anyway, the next week we'll put a preview of the runtime with the GUI classes so you can give it a spin for that. You'll have to feed the online compiler with text versions of your forms but you would be able to test the functionality. Of course in the final product you will be able to compile your VCX and SCX as expected with no change.

>And I almost forgot to mention that those VFP Controls appearing in the Screenshot, can be embedded into .NET Winforms.

>>Hi Samuel,

>>4 weeks ago you announced an update of the VFP-Compiler with really amazing things. As an appetizer there should come some ScreenCasts and/or ScreenShots. I just visited your website to look for this, but I didn’t find anything new. Is your website the wrong place to get at least the ScreenShots, or are they still unavailable?

>>Thanks Rolf
