VFUG Meeting: Wednesday, May 26, 2004
Topic: Latest Developments at SkyTrain - Sam Robbins
Sam Robbins will be giving us a look at some of the
latest techniques SkyTrain is employing to improve the look and feel of
their VFP systems:
- Under the Radar - how to use VFP to provide pop-up utilities in the Windows systray (or have them completely hidden but active)
- Fading Away - VFP provides an example of how
to adjust the transparency of a form to show it fading into the
background. Making a form fade into view is a little more challenging -
we will show you how to do it
- Seek and You Shall Find - how to integrate search functionality into a Grid class
Sam Robbins is Manager, MIS of B.C. Rapid Transit Co. Ltd., operator of
the Vancouver metropolitan area SkyTrain rapid transit system. SkyTrain
uses VFP extensively in its operations, and is one of the largest VFP
users in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest.
Time: 06:30pm ("doors open" 06:15pm)
