>Why, as soon as the controls become "real windows" controls the inherent data binding capabilities go right out the window (no pun intended). ONe of the nicest things about VFP for developers is the natural data binding it has without righting code to get data from some place all the time.

The "real windows" are needed in order to be able to use automatic test tools for apps developed in VFP. As you know, this is one of the main problems with big VFP apps. They could also be very useful for the use of Win32 API functions on controls.

Why do you say that "data bindinding capabilities go right out the window" with "real window" controls?
