I'm not quite sure what generated code you're talking about here, Tom.

The VFE wizards are simply tools for subclassing from the framework to create application specific subclasses. Short of a very limited number of lines of code in grid headers there is no code generated (unlike FEX 2.6 which sounds like what you're describing)

VFE is a set of class libraries. Entire VFE apps could be written without the VFE IDE, builders and wizards.

Complex apps, of course, require the developer to write method code but no code is written by the framework (with the small exception of the grid-header thing mentioned above)

>>>Having been a member of the VFE Pioneer Engineering Team, and a VFE user I would say that indeed VFE generates code. So does Visual Maxframe Professional, which I also use. Each time a new application is created a number of user prompts are selected and this allows the creation of the “type of application” the user selects. It does so by generating the appropriate code from the foundation libraries which are a part of the product.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
