Dear Tom
Thanks.
I spent the last few years developing in VFP.
Doing a complete rewrite of a large FoxPro DOS
application with many modules and a lot of custom
options and programs for several hundred clients,
and having been for many years of FoxPro DOS programmer,
we did things the old way. While creating a visual user interface
using all the visual classes, much of our code was stored
programmaticly. We dug into the guts of the classes
and figured out how to program things the the way we wanted
it to work.
Two examples,
1) Many of our grids were created with a procedure and it allowed
us to do certain things you would normally not be able to do
with the grid (e.g. easily copying parts of one grid to a second grid,
or changing the RecordSource after the grid has been activated)
2) We created a report procedure that allowed the user to select at
run time what fields to print, what to group and total.
It meant a lot of extra work and trial and error.
I am now looking to start some new projects with a much faster
developement cycle. I think I should go the framework route.
Can you suggest which framework(s) might good to start with.
Thanks
Shlomo
