VFPX: Open Source Extensions
Rick Schummer
In 2007 I presented a session on VFPX at four Visual FoxPro Conferences in
the United States and Europe. During each of the sessions I asked, "How many
of you have heard of VFPX?" Approximately 10 to 15 percent of the people
sitting in the room raised their hand. Since I believe VFPX is a significant
part of the future of Visual FoxPro, this is a disturbing revelation. The
goal of this series of articles is to introduce you to the VFPX open source
project, and to do some high level overviews of the different tools and
components, as well as some deepdives to show how they can be used in your
day-to-day development of Visual FoxPro solutions.
This article will describe VFPX, provide a short history of this project,
show you where on the Internet you will find VFPX, and provide an overview
of
the Web site......

KitBox: Managing Global Variables<
Marcia G. Akins, Andy Kramek
The use of Public Variables in FoxPro Applications has long been regarded as
poor design. However there are many situations in which a variable that can
be accessed, or updated, from anywhere in the application is really the only
feasible way of handling things. In this article, Andy and Marcia design a
data driven "Variable Manager" class that can be either be instantiated
directly, or can be attached to an application object, to manage variables
that need to be globally available...
