Southwest Fox 2008 Rehearsal

- "Using VFPX Components in Production Applications" by Rick Schummer

The components developed for the open source VFPX project on CodePlex have matured quickly over the last couple of years. Rick is using components like the Themed Controls (OutlookNavBar, ExplorerBar, and Toolbox), the ctl32 project (StatusBar, Scrollable Container, BalloonTip), Desktop Alerts, and GDIPlusX in the applications he develops. This session will deep-dive into as many of the controls as fit into the session. It will show you practical real-world usage of the controls and then show you how he implements them with code examples and cookbook style instructions. The white paper for the session will cover several controls not discussed during the session to provide you a jumpstart.

You will learn:

* Practical uses for the controls
* What controls are available from VFPX for you to use
* How to implement VFPX controls in your Visual FoxPro applications
* How you can help accelerate the development of more controls
* About the resources available to help you implement the controls

- Open discussion and the other normal chatter of tips and tricks.
- Anything else people want to talk about.


Hope to see you there.
