There's some trueness in what you write. It strikes me that it took MS so long to present the PREVIEW of the Desktop App Converter only recently:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=51691>Another M$ gimmick that will be replaced with greater thing they will research in no time.

>>
>>In 2015 Microsoft introduced the phrase 'Windows Desktop Apps' for PC-applications. This month they demonstrated the preview of the ‘Desktop App Converter’. The claim is that legacy apps can run without much adaptations inside a 'container'. Moreover, extensions can be built with the legacy platform, but also with newer platforms.
>>
>>I interpret this as the claim that, in time and gradually, we can build new modules and/or replace existing modules with another tool/language. Eventually the application might be totally VFP-free. However, esp. one question pops up:
>>
>>Modules (.app) in VFP are aware of the open tables/cursors, the public/private variables and the various SETtings. Will we be able to build a module with such a new tool/language that is also aware of open tables/cursors and variables??
