Our next meeting will take place Tuesday, May 11 at 7:00 PM. For one more month, we'll meet at Granor-Price Office Center, 721 Dresher Road, Horsham, PA. As usual, feel free to come as early as 6:30 and bring some dinner.
We're trying something new for this month's meeting. Doug Hennig will present a session remotely. That is, he'll be in Sasksatchewan and thanks to the Internet, be able to give us a live presentation.
Introduction to GDIPlusX
GDIPlusX is a VFPX project that exposes GDI+ to VFP applications as a set of VFP class libraries. GDIPlusX makes it easy to add new graphical abilities to your applications, allowing you to provide a fresher and more powerful user interface. This session provides an introduction to GDIPlusX, going through the basics of GDI+, looking at the classes in GDIPlusX, and going through various samples of how to use GDIPlusX in VFP applications.
