See
http://www.craigberntson.com/Articles/kb015.htm. I also HIGHLY recommend you look at the book Code Complete by Steve McConnell and Windows GUI standards on the MSDN web site.
>We are compiling system limitations and coding standards for our company. We code in VFP, Delphi, VB.NET, and WebSmart among others. We are compiling an 'accepted' practice of coding standards for EACH language (since there are typically habits developers in each language employ that are not necessarily accepted universally). This is everything including (but not limited to):
>
>indentation of nested blocks
>comments
>identifiers (common abbreviated standard or spelled out)
>variable naming conventions
>objection creation/destruction standards
>font face on forms
>
>I have already reviewed the capacities and naming conventions in the VFP8 help files.
>
>Has anyone already done this for a shop that uses VFP and is willing to share? I have worked with many VFP developers over the years and each had their own preferences (capitalization of keywords, all lowercase, indentation preferences, etc).
