Paradigm Technologies Corp. is pleased to announce the release of the Paradigm Source Code library for Visual FoxPro. The library contains several controls including and object oriented visual calendar and resource planner. The controls are delivered as class libraries that can be dropped onto your forms. The developer uses these libraries to add functionality to the applications they are developing. For example, you may be creating a service call application that needs to display the work orders on a schedule. The resplan class library has a class called “resourceplanner” that you would drop on your form. You then use the methods and events of the control to produce the desired functionality.
Demo application
The source code library comes complete with demo forms and documentation that describes how to create and use the controls. The demo forms provide a variety of examples of how the forms can be used in real world scenarios.
Resource Planner
The resource planner is a set of event driven control classes that allow the developer to create visual calendars for their applications. The calendar is written in pure Visual FoxPro and requires only the VFP development environment to operate.
Search Grid
The search grid control supports searching, tagging and highlighting. This control is normally dropped onto a form after which the developer simply overrides the methods and events to create the desired functionality. Dragging and dropping to and from the grid is also supported.
Multi-Checkbox control
This control is ideal for applications where you need to create many checkbox fields on a form. The labels for the boxes can be defined by the user or programmatically. Up to 31 checkboxes are supported per single integer field.
In Use Control
This control identifies if a form is in use for those forms where you want to limit the number of concurrent users.
Idle Timer
This control manages queued events or processes. You can use it execute processes when your application is idle or it can be used to fire the screen saver.
