The next meeting of the Philadelphia VFP User Group will be next Tuesday, December 9 at 7:00 PM. We'll meet at Valley Forge Pension Management, 715 Twining Road, Suite 202, Dresher, PA 19025. (Note: The Oreland offramp from PA 309 Southbound has been permanently closed. The easiest way to reach the meeting location from the PA Turnpike or 309 Southbound is to come through the Fort Washington Industrial Park.)

As usual, feel free to bring dinner and come as early as 6:30.

This month, we'll begin an exploration of VFPX. Bob Pierce and Tamar Granor will show some of the VFPX projects, including the Property and Method dialog replacements, FoxCharts, GDIPlusX, and the Outlook Bar control.

VFPX is an Visual FoxPro community open source project dedicated to enhancing and extending Visual FoxPro. It includes developer tools, enhanced controls, the Sedna components, the various Xbase tools that come with VFP, and more. The items to be shown at this meeting range across the spectrum of VFPX projects. They include some items you can use immediately and others to keep in mind for the right project.
