To all that have shown interest in converting 2.6 apps to VFP I have recently uploaded version 4 of migrator program to files section.

THE GOAL:
1) Convert 2.6 programs into as fully VFP apps as possible.
2) Convert CodeBook control screens into control objects.
3) Conversion should be as close to 100% automatic so that can avoid long period when you have to freeze development or replicate changes in two versions. It is acceptable to require bracketed code (DOS/VFP).

CHARACTERISTICS of "Mig"
1. It does not use READ compatibility of VFP. This means no unnecesary form sets or pageframes.

2. It uses your first level classes, not VFP's.

3. Converts the project, as well as the screens.

4. Procedures become methods. Calls become ThisForm.MethodName() automatically.


TRADEOFFS:
1. Continues to use SCATTER/GATHER.
2. You must bracket some code. For example changes to _pdsetup and the foundation read. The first one is simply ignored, and the second one becomes READ EVENTS (via macro).


CREDITS: This program started from a convertor kindly provided by Dragan Nedeljkovic. By now I have received help from many others, including especially what I learned from the Micro Endeavors self study course "You can teach an old Fox new tricks".

I appreciate all help offered.

TIA,

Alex
