The Southwest Fox rehearsals continue at our next meeting on Tuesday, August 11. As usual, feel free to bring dinner and come as early as 6:30.
Tamar E. Granor will present "Top Ten (or more) Reasons to Use the Toolbox":
The VFP Toolbox is a terrific tool, but many VFP developers have never really used it. In this session, we'll look at why you should use this tool everyday. We will look at built-in capabilities like an easy way to drop controls into grid columns. We'll also see how to customize it for your development environment, including having each control you drop given an appropriate name. Finally, we'll explore some easy extensions that make the Toolbox even more useful, such as making it easy to store web links.
