That's right Dave, I didn't answered before because I've not registered on Leafe, but Iv'e registered 2 days ago just to answer.
It's a pitty that some people keep using XML for comparing VFP code, or any aother text representation that is not actually code, but I think this is just because they have accostumed to what where available for many years and they don't know other new options. In last SouthwestFox 2014 Rick Schummer made a session talking about it <http://www.swfox.net/2014/sessionsswfox.aspx#VFPXEdition2014_1>, and there where some talks and posts on Universal Thread, Foxite, fox.wikis, and Google Groups. If there is something not clear enough in the VFPx Docs, you can contact me on VFPx forums, Thor forums, UT, Foxite or in this list. I suggest reading the Log of changes on VFPx (on main FoxBin2Prg download page <https://vfpx.codeplex.com/releases/view/116407>), because there are new useful things in the Preview-1 of the next v1.19.43 release that could be useful to you, like the new "RemoveZOrderSetFromProps" option proposed by Ryan Harris, or the "UseClassPerFile" implemented in latest versions (this class separation by file was an idea taken from TwoFox). In the past I've collaborated in some parts of the coding of ScctextX at VFPx, so I've incorporated to FoxBin2Prg all the great ideas used in SccTextX nad TwoFox, which I've used too. I know you are going to enjoy it, merging with VFP 9 is great right now :) Best regards! 2015-04-27 11:24 GMT+02:00 Dave Crozier <[email protected]>: > Thank you for the link Fernando...
