Reminds me of many years ago, well, not THAT many really, we used to
point to a certain development tool and say "I could write that using
VFP". Trouble is, the old memory is getting so bad these days I can't
remember what program it was. :-) Might have been a Borland product.
So many have come and gone... and VFP just got better and better.
Dave, how can I see a real live "Metro desktop"? Is it by chance the
new Windows 8?

Eurico,
The design mode I have in mind is to have the "Metro desktop" as free floating top form
and using it to call other forms, which could be MDI in themselves. The thing about Metro is that
it is only a "launcher" for the majority of apps anyway, but it looks sexy (if you are
saddo geeks like us!) and will certainly become what end users expect, despite what we all say
about M$.
You could also get it to launch other VFP Apps from a stand alone "Metro
Desktop", that way your current apps wouldn't need any changes at all.
I have lots of ideas in the pipeline, if only to refresh some VFP apps here
that I definitely DO NOT want to rewrite in C#!!
