Except maybe for the flat toolbars and that it will probably take less time to develop because of the improvements, there nothing tangible for the user. I hope to see more goodies for Sedona soon, otherwise I will have a hard time convincing a client to upgrade his app from 6.0 to Sedona.

Thanks for the report Graig.

>The Keynote for DevCon was highlighted with a demo of the next version of VFP. There is no release date. Here's a summary of some of what was shown:
>
>- Code name is Sedona
>- Flat toolbars (like Word, Excel)
>- Command, Data Session, and other windows are dockable -- and can dock to each other. Randy Brown showed how the Command and Data Session windows can be docked together.
>- The debugger windows can be docked into a page-frame like Window with tabs at the bottom
>- The editor now has a bar on the left-hand side. Just click on the bar and set a break point on that line of code
>- Set bookmarks in the editor
>- Highlight a word in the editor, then press a hotkey to find the next instance of the word
>- View whitespace (you can see where spaces, tabs, and paragraphs are at) in the editor
>- Hyperlinks in comments
>- Modified file indicator in the title bar for the window
>- Many of the features of the COB editor extensions have been included, including change case, command completion, etc. This is configurabe
>- To edit a page on a page frame, you don't have to right-click and select Edit. There is a keypress to do this now.
>- Close parenthesis. You don't need to count the number of parns needed to close a statement. VFP will tell you how many you need.
>- Timeout added parameter added to MESSAGEBOX
>
>----- And the biggest thing...that got a huge cheer ---
>
>Intellisense, but done better. For example, you can type USE and a list of the most recently used tables is diaplayed, or a list of the tables in the DBC. It will also read the type libraries of other objects and work with them too.
