Hi all
I have been comissioned with a task that at first sight does not look too complicated:
A customer has an old and well sold VFP application and wants to "beautify" and modernize its interface, new menues, new colors, new icons. The app was developed using Visual Pro-Matrix.
No -major- changes are expected to actual functionality or business logic, the application does its job properly, it is just that its look and feel are a bit outdated and look and feel sell at the end in trade shows.
The app is interface a simple old-VFP-looking menu bar and there is a single "Launch" form with big buttons for the mayor logical segments of the application. Clicking on them launches subsequent forms, all plain looking, out-of-the box VFP controls, buttons, grids, dropdowns and lists.
The app is doing proper subclasing from a set of form controls following Pro-Matrix model, I think this will help.
An atractive toolbar could be added without too much complication. An Outlook "accordion" control on the left may add discoverability to its functionality too.
Which components are available to "upgrade" the look and feel of the menues to a more actractive, actual look?
What are my options for forms and objects in the forms (buttons, grids, etc)?
Can you share the look and feel of your apps too? Seeing modern GUI interfaces will help in my quest too.
Many thanks in advance,
Max
