VFX 18 The development of VFX 18 focused on the implementation of functions to support the General Data Protection Regulations. This gives developers the ability to easily extend end-user applications to meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations. Additionally, VFX 18 includes numerous small enhancements and fixes. New property of the application class lUpdateCurrentDBonly Previously, when updating the database structure at the customer site, all databases entered in Config.vfx or Vfxpath.dbf were updated. This is still the default behavior. If the value of cfoxAppl.lUpdateCurrentDBonly in Appl.vcx is set to .T., only the structure of the selected database is updated when the application is started for the first time. The structures of other databases are not updated until these databases are used for the first time. This procedure can save customers a lot of time. VFX - Cursor Adapter Wizard For cursoradapters that are based on views, more properties are transferred from the view to the cursoradapter. Password protection for e-mail attachments A password can be entered in the reports dialog now when selecting to send the report as an e-mail attachment. When a password is entered, the email attachment is compressed into a zip archive that is password protected. The data sent by e-mail is securely protected. All file types (PDF, HTML, XML, TIFF, and BMP) are supported. Management of consents for data storage and processing In order to meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations, consent to the storage of personal data may be stored for any data containing personal data. To use this new functionality, the class xCntConsent from the class library Appl.vcx can be added to a form by drag & drop. This container class contains a label and two command buttons. The left button shows whether a consent has been saved for the current, personal data record. A click on this button opens the form VfxConsent.scx for managing consents. A click on the right button opens the dialog VfxConsentRep.scx in which a report can be selected. To use the class xCntConsent, the values of three properties must be set. cParentTableKeyFieldName - Primary key field name of the table containing personal data. cParentTableName - Name of the table with personal data. cReportName - Report file containing the fields for self-disclosure. The form VfxConsent.scx can be used to maintain a chronological list of consents. The consent data is stored in the table VfxConsent. The following data is managed for each consent: 1. Date 2. Type of consent 3. Person in charge 4. Reason for consent 5. Reference to a document 6. Remarks and 7. Revocation date In the dialog VfxConsentRep.scx you can choose between the following reports: 1. Consents 2. All consents 3. Missing consents 4. Self-disclosure The reports consents, all consents and missing consents are automatically generated at runtime. The self-disclosure report must be provided individually for each form.

December 2010	VFPizza Silverlight Demo online! We migrated VFPizza for VFP to Silverlight with the beta version of VFX for Silverlight which was released just before Christmas. The result is available online at http://www.vandu.eu/vfpizza.htm This version of VFPizza is migrated from the well-known VFX for VFP version with the VFX - Silverlight Wizard. Additionally, some small changes were done. For example, in the form customers there is a button "Proper". By clicking this button the VFP function PROPER() is executed in a VFP COM server. The result is shown in the textbox customer name. In this example VFP code is executed at the server side of the applicatin, in this case at the cloud server. Another manual change is done in the form orders. Here VFP code is executed directly with GUINEU. With GUINEU any business logic can be implemented with VFP and the user interface can be controlled. In this case VFP code is executed at the client side of the application, so in the browser of the Internet user. VFP code can be executed in any browser that supports the Silverlight plug-in, even on MACs.

July 2005	VFX Roadmap published And here is the Roadmap of Visual Extend for Visual FoxPro, matched to Microsoft's official roadmap for Visual FoxPro: The development of the framework VFX proceeds according to the schedule. VFX 9.5 will be introduced at this year's VFP DevCon in November in Frankfurt. A first insight into VFX 9.5 has already been given at the VFX users meeting on April 29th, 2005. The portability of existing VFX applications into web apps is going to be one highlight. A VFX-AFP Wizard as already contained in VFX 9.0 is the first step in this direction. Further information on this interesting topic will soon be disclosed. More announcements with further details about VFX 9.5's functional range will follow. Visual Extend 9.5 shall be released in close temporal connection to service pack no. 1 to VFP 9. Thus we make sure that the new version of VFX is adapted to VFP 9 SP 1 in the best possible way. The development will continue in a consequent manner after VFX 9.5. On time with the release of Sedna, VFX 10 is going to appear on the market, enabling the VFX developers to make use of Sedna's advantages and features straight away. For more than two years, qualified .NET programmers (MCP level or higher) have been working in the VFX team, too. More developers than today will work on Visual Extend to achieve the substantial further development planned. Thus, the features and technologies of Sedna as annnounced by Microsoft are going to be usable for VFX developers as well. At the VFP DevCon in Frankfurt in November 2006, a glance at the beta version of Visual Extend 10 can be taken. After VFX 10, the development will continue in parallel to the further planning of Microsoft. VFX developers can rest assured that for many years they will be able to create high-performance applications at the high degree of productivity they are used to - applications based on the newest technologies.
