The only adventage of using VCXs over PRGs is that: - Descriptions of the methods and properties are shown by intellisense when you scroll them while using an instantiated class, which is not possible with PRGs, except PRG-COM classes instantiated from the registered Windows object. - Can be created (NewObject) from external exes/apps (with PRGs just the main program with SET PROCEDURE)
On the other side, PRGs have plenty of adventages over VCX: - The text never gets corrupted - You can define the type of procs/funcs parameters and their returned values (useful for COM) - Better for merging in a SCM/DVCS tool - It is the only way to use the Session class - Easier for bach-replacing between a bunch of files (you can do that with the tx2 versions generated by FoxBin2Prg, but then you need to regenarate the binaries, which is an extra step) Fernando D.
