Subject: Shout Out to Dave Crozier ...was[RE: VFP Metro Interface]

Hey Dave - I believe the ProFox list posting at the bottom of this message was 
from you. I was just trying to search for it on the ProFox Archives again(just 
confirm that it actually was YOU that posted the original
message) - although, for some reason - the Archives Search seems to be CHOKING 
on me right now - and I can't run ANY Searches!

Anyway - was just hoping to hear from you re:MS Metro & implementing it under 
VFP.

Thanks in Advance!

Hey Dave - regarding this older posting of yours. I'm curious to know if you 
have made more progress on implementing Metro style interfaces in VFP - since, 
we (at my day job) - have this App that we are looking to run on a Tablet - and 
I MUST give it a proper Overhaul ASAP!



Thanks in Advance!

-K-

               To All,

I was just playing around with VFP last night after having developed my first 
metro app in Visual

Studio last week and wondered  how a Metro style interface could be developed 
in VFP. A small video

of the results of my deliberations is at:



http://www.replacement-software.co.uk/VFP_Metro/



I haven't had time to add callouts and commentry etc just yet as the whole 
project took up my time

(about 4 hours) but I will do once the classes are in a stable state at which 
time I hope to have a

set of classes made that will allow Metro buttons and info to be easily put 
into any VFP App simply

by dragging and dropping a Metro surface onto a form and polpulating it with 
Geoups and Items

...(you can see this in the video).



The result so far are:

1. A scrollable Metro "desktop" so that you can hold more buttons than can ve 
viewed on the desktop

2. Metro style buttons that can have the caption in either the centre or the 
four corners of the

button as well as a relocatable picture on the button.

3. Metro Groups. Consisting of selections of metro buttons that can be dragged 
and dropped within

the allocated group and re-ordered into a pre-defined column/row Metro sequence.

4. The ability to drag/drop the Metro Groups around on the desktop

5. The  ability to drag/drop Metro buttons around within their parent group in 
real time ... and

then re-order the group



The  next step is to give the Metro interface a "skinnable colour" property 
that will be changeable

in real time ... this is done but I haven't had time to incorporate it as of 
yet.



If anyone shows any interest in the video or the development then post on here 
with regards to

possible enhancements etc. and comments will be gratefully accepted, good or 
bad.



When I have a set of classes in workable form then I intend to post the source 
on Codeplex with full

source.



The fox can still run with the best...



Have fun,

Dave
