Because of your reviews I purchased windev and webdev 18 last year. I'm still learning the tutorial of windev.
I hope if in the future I make a question in this section you or somebody else will have the kindness of give me some answer or point me in the right direction.

Right now I just have one question.

In the tutorial, they explain this command that save the data of the form directly to the table ScreenToFile, but I want to update the same table in a recursive way.

the table is like this parent c(20), code c(20), value n(12,2) when I update the table it has to look at the parent and then add the value to it and so on until parent is empty.

How can I do this in windew?

Regards.

>So here is probably my final post punting WinDev. A while ago I said on this forum that we wanted to convert one of our main applications from VFP9 to WinDev and that I would post how that went. So, after having been quite intensively working with WinDev for the past 9 to 12 months we finally have converted our main application.

>I’ll keep this post short as the low feedback and participation in this thread makes me think probably everyone has moved onto whatever they are going to move on to :) and I don't want to be bore. In a nutshell, I find that WinDev’s promise to make you 10 times faster is just marketing. But I would say that it makes you between 3 and 5 times faster. Why is this? How does this happen? There are many reasons but to keep this short and sweet I would offer 2 primary reasons;
>
>(1) The first reason would be that the integrated development environment is simply fantastic. It does so much for you from sophisticated Intellisense to the analysis of the database system to auto-complete, wizards, spotting errors as you code, automatically changing variable or function names if I change them, and much more coding and project related help.

>(2) The second main source of productivity improvement would be the extensive library of functions. There are literally thousands of functions that will do basically anything you want from the stock standard stuff to all those things you bought 3rd party libraries and tools to help you do (e.g. zip, compression, encryption, graphics, multi-threading, etc.) It is just so complete that you will find a function to do what you want 9/10 times.
>
>As a last point I would add that it can do things so much simpler – to give you one example; the table control (VFP grid) in WinDev is simply mind boggling. I mention this one because we use it so much. Unlike VFP you don’t need to connect it to some pre-existing table or query or memory cursor (although you can if you want to). You can instead just add data to the table control on the fly. And every column becomes sortable and filterable. And the column positions and widths and styles are automatically saved and stored for you. And it includes export to XLS, DOC, PDF, XML, email to someone, print, etc. without any coding. And powerful: you can add 100,000 rows x 30 columns to a table in +/-40 seconds. That’s 3 million cells and the resulting table is fully sortable and filterable and sub-filterable (i.e. apply a filter to an already filtered table, and again and again). (NB: This 40 seconds includes the time to read the data from disk based files using a SSD with 8Gb RAM, 64bit Windows 8, 2.4Ghz CPU).
