Version 1.1. gives you DPI-Awareness, Textcontrol runtimes included!
This is a demo of all the product features. The demo is no longer virtualized but "winrared". Txcontrol version 15.1 runtimes and foxpro runtimes are delivered with this demo, just for people who don´t use version 9 of VFP or don´t have the textcontrol runtimes.
Watch the new fading possibility of command bars lib in action with this demo.

For developers who want to redesign their apps, maybe the best and fastest option is to ask alex creating the basic app for them. So transferring an old-style app to a modern and very nice interface is mostly a matter of hours or days.

Here is a small screen video (flash format stream-sorry Steve Jobs and ipad users... ) to demonstrate the features of Arg Txlib:
http://www.swissholter.com/argtxcontroldemo/argtxlib.html

2 demo apps:
There are 2 exe files shipped this time:
argtxlib_sample1.exe is just the plain txcontrol interface

***************************************************************************************************
New changes and corrections in this release:
Version 1.101
Toms Demo has now a splash screen with progress bar/line.
Version 1.1
Runtime files of textcontrol are included in this demo, there is no need to install or register these activex files any more.
DPI-Awareness: so far we know, this is the first VFP-Application, that is fully dpi aware. VFP-Dialogs are now scaled properly, depending on screen resolution and Windows font (small, medium, big) settings.
We have included 3 very nice dialogs too, the option dialog, a new about dialog and a splash screen(only in toms demo) . The option dialog has a autoscroll function, so its very easy to place a lot of setup-options in this dialog. The user can scroll though the dialog like in Office 2010 Option-Dialog.

Version 1.0
Problems with print preview are corrected, headers, footers and tables are now completely implemented. You can add and remove headers, footers and table rows now.
To see the table row functionality rightclick on a table row and choose the table menu options.
There were some compatibility problems with VFP regarding textcontrol, Alex added therefore a small external dll (ArgTxLib.dll). The whole functionality is now compiled into a separate app file (ArgTxLib.app) and a small vfp vcx lib.
The multilingual support now has been finished. The german and russian xml file is now completely translated.
Developers who need localization apart from english, german or russian can translate the xml file by themselves. Please send them to us, so we can publish it for other developers.
The actual (version 1.0) english xml - file for localisation you find here:
http://www.swissholter.com/argtxcontroldemo/ArgTxLibResources_EN.xml
German and russian xml-files are here, just for interested developers:
http://www.swissholter.com/argtxcontroldemo/ArgTxLibResources_DE.xml
http://www.swissholter.com/argtxcontroldemo/ArgTxLibResources_RU.xml

******************************************************************************************
Just for internal information.. VFP code/exes are obfuscated, don´t waste you time.. :-)

****************DPI-Awaress****************************************************
For the first time in vfp-history (so far we know), someone has managed to handle the problems with DPI-Virtualisation and different screen fonts.
With the new dpi-awarness lib you are able to create VFP-dialogs, that scale correctly under small, medium and big screen font settings-used in windows vista and 7.
More infos about DPI-Awareness you get here:
