If I go to msdn.microsoft (not the link same link, then I can choose VFP from the drop-down of all products. Right above it is a Key topics which includes all the other tools except vfp.

>>>Hey while yer at it, why don't you guys and some other folks from the VFP team run down the hall and teach the vs.net team some more OOP concepts. I'm sitting here in a vb.net class right now and maaaaaaaaan... you can't do squat! I've even heard the teacher say a couple of times "you don't want to make a long inheartance chain"..and when he says "long" he means like don't subclass more than once! WTF were these guys thinking? Heeellllooooo! OOP! aaahhhh!

>Well this is only my 3rd day of being in the class so I don't really know much yet...but like if you wanted to subclass some buttons with code in the click events its kinda hard...plus if you have subclassed it more than one or two times it looks like it might be very hard (if not impossible) to control what runs ... like if you wanted to override the underlying code.

Not really, it may seem daunting at first, but once you get over the Overloads and Overrides etc. etc it's pretty straight-forward.

I would highly recommend Kevin McNeish's book ".Net for VFP developers", if you haven't got it already.
