Editorial: The VFP Stack Overflow
[[Ken Levy]]
Stack Overfow Overfow in the stack of ideas comprising the sofware
components the Visual FoxPro ecosystem.
VFPX: ProjectHookX
[[Rick Schummer]]
Projecthooks were introduced in Visual FoxPro 6,
yet even today I know developers who have not
implemented projecthooks in their development.
Projecthooks allow you as a developer to write
code that reacts to the different events of the Project
Manager. One of the drawbacks of projecthooks is
you only get one per project. Toni Feltman from F1
Technologies saw this limitation pain and designed
one approach to working around it so developers
can use more than one projecthook for any one
project and calls this project ProjectHookX.
Deep Dive: Introduction to GDIPlusX, Part 3
[[Doug Hennig]]
GDIPlusX is a VFPX project that exposes GDI+
to VFP applications as a set of VFP class libraries.
GDIPlusX makes it easy to add new graphical
abilities to your applications, allowing you to
provide a fresher and more powerful user interface.
This article is the third in a series that provides
an introduction to GDIPlusX, going through the
basics of GDI+, looking at the classes in GDIPlusX,
and going through various samples of how to use
GDIPlusX in VFP applications.
New Ways: OOP + Metadata = Flexibility
[[Tamar Granor]], PhD
Over the last few years, I've found many situations
where data-driving code makes an application
easier to maintain. But sometimes, data-driving
alone can lead to repeated code and more diffcult
maintenance. In such cases, combining good object-
oriented practices with data-driving may provide a
better solution.
Paying it Forward
Toni Feltman
For years DBI Technologies, www.dbi-tech.com,
has offered for sale ActiveX controls that could be
used in various development languages and unlike
many other third party vendors they had examples
written in FoxPro. Now, DBI’s support of the FoxPro community is even better. They have agreed to
give away 8 of their active controls for free to users
of VFP 9, SP2 in a bundle called the “Sedna Components.”
