The GDIPlusX Library Has Been Updated...Into Production

The GDIPlusX library, part of the VFPX project, has been updated and moved into production status. Rumor has it that many people were using it in a production environment already (including myself) but now its official.

With this release we have added SYSTEM.APP. This APP includes the entire library in a single distributable. Rick Strahl made this recommendation at SWFox and we liked the idea. Of course, if you prefer to compile the library into your own application, you can do still do that also. All of the source is still downloadable from VFPX.

A few other features were packed into this release based on feedback that we have received in the past few months. We would like to thank Christof Wollenhaupt , Alan Stevens, Carlos Alloatti, several members of the Foxite message board and of course Craig Boyd for your valuable contributions. Special thanks to Cesar Chalom for all of his efforts in this last release. Most all of the new enhancements were added by Cesar as well as several cool new samples…if you haven’t downloaded it yet, you should really check it out as well as the other great projects on VFPX.

An updated version of the GDIPlusX library has been posted

It has taken a while, but the GDIPlusX library is finally converted to be PRG based and has been upgraded from Alpha to Beta status. The new 1.00b version can be downloaded from here. But you should always check the GDIPlusX home page for the latest version.

There were several advantages to converting the library as I described in a message on the VFPX discussion board. The library is faster, smaller and more stable than before.

Special thanks to Cesar Chalom. Most all of the bug fixes and new features were added by him over the past couple of months while I converted the library.

We will hopefully update the project again from Beta to Production status by next month. We welcome any feedback. If you have any issues with the library, make sure you post them in the Issue Tracker so they can be prioritized and voted on.

For my next Blog entry I will discuss a little project Craig Boyd and I started on that will allow any VFP object (with a Picture property) to become a canvas object and have an associated Graphics object. There is a small sample posted on VPFX that demos this new functionality.
