Hi Rick,

Thanks for dropping in:-)

I have some reservation about using two interpreter-based languages in a single application. Application deployment could possibly become quite complex. I like simple dev environments such as an interpreter-based language à la fox or python calls to dlls or fll(vfp) for external parties.

However getting an additional alternative way to smoothly get out of the VFP trap into python would be plain great:-)

>Can you create DLLs in VFP that give you the GUI component, and reference those functions from a Python app?

>form = create_form(size, type, title, etc.)
>obj = add_object(form, type, size, etc.)
>type = get_data_type(obj)
>value = get_data_value(obj)

That would be fine. But I have no clue on this. I thought that VFP DLLs were for automation-only. Am I wrong?
