Hi Koen,
>what is withholding you to download, install and do a testrun with Chen's application?
Once upon a time, you could NOT be a C/C++ coder and be productive with VFP, vb and a bunch of other stuff. As I said, I could avoid coding C for over 24 years. This is a long period. And I do not really wish to untertain myself with the pleasure of setting up a C-to-exe compiler chain in 2018 without a strong reason. What reason? That the testing is worth the time spent on it.
That said, of course, I could certainly spend a week re-training myself on this after such a long period of time. But I could possibly as well change coding language and dev platform by the way! As many VFP developpers of past times, I take no pleasure at training for the sake of a simple test. Of course I can understand that among the die-hard fox addicts, quite a few were initially trained in, say, C or pascal. I expect for them setting up a test environment is a breeze. And I am looking for their feedback. The windows platform is not exactly ubuntu.
My journey was: APL, dbase, fox (1986), then vfp, smalltalk (dead-end) and python (not writing any C or fortran extension here). I am trying to avoid developping applications the tough way. And VFP, up to now, has served very well from this standpoint.
I find it a bit sad that Chen is not more supported by the community. Except for John - thanks to him - the feedback is extremely limited, here and elsewhere.
Daniel
