my employers (who have for many years deprecated in-house development in
general and Foxpro in particular) asked me to sit in on a couple of days
training on the Report Generator for the new bought-in Housing Management
System ('Comino' - formally 'Universal Housing' or 'UH').
It has foxpro written all over it - including the Report Editor - but all a
bit quirky.
>From quizzing a couple of people I gather that it was originally Fox but it
is *all* data driven (including form layout) and the straight fox runtime
was too slow. I *think* they instantiate a vfp.application in C++ and
create everything on the fly using the api.
All in all it's quite impressive - but sadly suffers from the usual
glitches when inter-operating between T-sql and fox syntax - and the
occasional memory leak heralded by the cursor 'scribbling' on your screen
and/or everything locking up.
Perhaps I should tell them about using Win forms in vfp10 <vbg>
