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!

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
