>>If I limit my use of OCX 5 to Imagelist, ToolBar, Treeview and Listview, would I (or my users) have anything to worry about?

>First that I found is that 5.0 toolbar has no dropdown buttons. I think this is the main feature leak you have to worry about. Another problem is that 5.0 and 6.0 use different ocx files and you need to distribute comctl32.ocx too.

>Because all .NET languages have common base. It means that .NET converts source code to common language before compilation. This allows for example to use classes coded in VB.NET from C# app w/o any intermediate interface.
>VFP is still not a .NET language and probably cannot be .NET because its conception is not compatible. I remember something about this was in December letter from Ken Levy.

>>I used a Winform Xbase (released by same people that offer Delphi) about 10 years ago. It was flushed out by Visual FoxPro, but still enjoys a small market in europe.
>There no link between Winform Xbase and WinForms.

>Now I found a way to provide ">>" button and even "custom" customization for MS Toolbar 6. Now I working on release version. (My own uses my internal classes). So please wait.
