I guess I didn't realize that Aero does not work and play well with VFP UI - even in SP2
Anybody know of progress made in a fix for this? Is there something in Sedna I should be aware of ? I am losing titlebars, getting weird redraws etc even in the dev environment. I've got a fast quad core box, 512mb NVidia 8500 graphics and 4gb of ram. Is this the way my VFP apps are going to look on Vista boxes and am I really going to have to tell clients they need to dumb down their Vista graphics at the OS level to get acceptable UI?
This is not good. I am hoping I am just ignorant, as sometimes that is fixable <g>
Update : Calvin Hsia had this in his blog
http://blogs.msdn.com/calvin_hsia/archive/2007/04/27/fix-your-forms-to-paint-borders-correctly-under-vista-aero.aspxand that looks somewhat promising (if I can get Feltman to recompile the core VFE UI <s>) since I use all form classes.
It is a little discouraging to see that one of his suggestions was to wait for the next VFP SP.
Think I'll go poke around in Sedna - can't believe one of our uber-geeks hasn't solved this ...

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
