>How is it releated to VFPX OOP Menu Project ?

Sergey:

Thank you for your interest. The only connection is that I have downloaded it as part of my research.

My short term goal is to have class that replaces the native VFP shortcut menus, but the implementation is open to make it a full blown menu sytem.

The main difference to previous attempts at replacing the native VFP menu framework is that I am not just “wrapping” the VFP commands, but actually wrapping the Windows API directly.

The VFP menus are owner drawn, and as such lack the new Vista feature of themed menus, but also I consider them lacking in visual quality, and shorcut menus do have problems.

So the main objective is not to have OOP menus (they will be OO). The main objective is to have an easy to use class for shortcut menus that look like any other standard Windows context menu.

As you can see from the pictures in the link I provided, I already have a working prototype, but wanted feedback from more experienced developers before continuing, I am shure there are a lot of things I am missing.

Your feedback regarding this will be greatly appreciated!

Carlos
