>I have designed my own, quite efficient and robust application framework... I was just wondering how all you folks in the VFP community have been dealing with using the same framework for different applications...do you use a wizard to create a new project? Copy the framework to your new project directory? Or just reference the same set of VCX's and PRGs for all your apps?? We're deadly curious!
My 2 cents...
We copy the main PRGs and a few other items (login, user Info, Main Menu) to the new project. I have a set of base libraries/classes which (as Gary said) are never deleted. They're mostly my basic controls with colors, BMPs, etc. set, plus a few items like my favorite Interactive Change text/combo/grid control Any changes in these at the project level is simply subclassed into a project VCX. Any really neat ideas we come up with are (very carefully) added to the base library. We've found that if we're careful with default values on user-added properties that this works well.
