I work for a CBT company in Rochester, NY which is re-developing our training course product using visual studios (primarily foxpro). We see ourselves developing CBT courses using the internet, local or world wide to provide the courses.
What we are trying to figure out is the format the courses are going to be stored in. I've learned I can go into foxpro and create a form and store it as an object in a .vcx file. I've also learned that I can't take that same form and play it in a browser. To me a form is a page with a graphic background and buttons with logic associated with them.
We would like to be able to play these forms/logic objects in either a foxpro player and in a web browser. This means I must figure a method for storing the forms in a common format.
On solution I have thought of is using foxpro to control the browser and doing all development in HTML. Foxpro app would not need to display HTML and we would simply use HTML. However, now I want to write a course designer and would have to integrate it with a browser and will end up doing browser development anyways.
Can anyone offer me a solution which allows me to do HTML in foxpro or some other idea? Currently I'm investigating westwind 3rd party software and also interdev to see if it does what we want.
Thanks in advanced, feel free to email me at mryan@safe-passage.com
