• Visual FoxPro Future of Visual Foxpro

  Hello friends, I have a general question. What will be the future of VFP The reason for asking this question is because, our company is planning a major commercial software development. So far we were very much satisfied with VFP. But now doubts are being raised whether we should base our investment on this platform or consider something new like VB.NET. Especially when we hear that the products will not be served beyond 2009!!! Any sincere opinion will be a big help. Thank you. Microsoft has never said that VFP.Next (Sedna) will be version 10. I talked to Alan Griver (yag) last month in Germany and he said the decision on what to call it or how to package it hasn't been made yet. My bet is that it will be more of a service ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Graphical operations

  I am looking for some application notes or code samples for graphical operations such as drawing on a form (in VC++ Express). I do see that there is a .NET library namespace called "System::Drawing", so I suspect there is some built-in support for drawing... Also, how easy is to implement graphical operations in a Windows Forms application vs. an MFC application Do I need to migrate to the Standard/Professional editions (and develop an MFC application) to get good graphics support Just to give you an idea, here is roughly what my application needs to do: Allow users to draw a "schematic" (on a Form) consisting of an arbitrary number of rectangles connected by lines (preferably using some predefined shapes) ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Declaring alternative input devices

  Hi to all I have been told that I can register alternative input devices to the DirectX such that a game that runs will see my input instead of the standard devices that are connected on the machine. To be more specific, I want to use a client that receives a user input (game pad, mouse etc.) from a remote machine and gives it to the Direct Input, such that the game that runs on the local machine thinks that an action was taken locally. I have browsed through the DirectX SDK Documentation and also searched for an answer in the web, but I haven't figured out anything yet. Could anyone from this site clear this issue for me please Is what I am trying to do feasible I really thank you for your time Theofilos ...Show All
