I would work with Chuanbing on Visual FreePro, Jr. He's an excellent developer.

>As an aside: how difficult would you expect it to be to write in VC++ a Bootstrap or HTML5 rendering engine for VFP forms and controls including links back to events in the VFP form?

I wrote a simple HTML rendering engine for VJr's windows. It supported a subset of HTML plus some additional features, like allowing you to directly embed a DLL and function name to call on a hyperlink.

It'd be a job. I'm not sure about HTML5 specs. You could probably get 70% there in a couple man-weeks. 90% in a couple man-months. And 100% in a man-year or more as it's the last details that are the hardest in these things. It took me probably five days to implement as much of what I called SHTML (Simple HTML) in my own product that I was intimately familiar with as I did. It required a specific stack design, the ability to unwind arbitrarily if you encountered mismatched tags, etc. It was a bit of work. It would require an advanced developer to do right.
