Jensen,

>I am choosing visual foxpro for our development platform on a financial application, we need a true object oriented platform that can rely on, can anyone tell me how visual foxpro does in the OOP arena? Does it pose any limitation in oop development in comparison to the other oop development tools? What we look into now is the ability to do multiple inheritance?

As others already mentioned, VFP doesn't support multiple inheritance natively, though you can simulate this by using interface in the VB approach.

As for VFP being fully OO. No it's not. When compared with C++ you will find that there are signifincant features missing: Operator and parameter overloading are two of them.

Though many of the stuff you'll find in C++ for example has strong relations with the strict typing of this language. Since VFP isn't strict typed the OO model is much simpler.

According to OO pureists, even C++ misses OO functions that should be available in a true OO development tool, but no C++ programmer seems to miss them.
