Hi Don, the IDe contains editor, project management, debugging, but unfortunately no formdesigner. Is the later one the one that you are missing when you state "only"? In this case, unfortunately I have to confirm that this is true (however, it was already long comunicated that teh first release, former called CCE and now Visual Xbase++, would not contain a form designer. As far as I understand, the form designer was already developed, see e.g. http://www.alaska-software.com/vx/VisualDesigner.shtm, however, from the story in conjunction with alaska-research, I understand that they found that in order to make sense, they needed better controlls, which they seem not to have ready yet, at least not to their satisfaction, see http://www.alaska-software.com/vx/VX_BluePrint062003_EN.PDF for details). All the best, Kai

Hi Y'all,

This is a question, not a complaint.

It appears to me that the Prerelease has only the editor functions.  Am I
missing something?

TIA,

Hi Don,
the IDe contains editor, project management, debugging,
but unfortunately no formdesigner. Is the later one the
one that you are missing when you state "only"?
In this case, unfortunately I have to confirm that this is true
(however, it was already long comunicated that teh first release,
former called CCE and now Visual Xbase++, would
not contain a form designer. As far as I understand,
the form designer was already developed, see e.g.
http://www.alaska-software.com/vx/VisualDesigner.shtm,
however, from the story in conjunction with alaska-research,
I understand that they found that in order to make sense,
they needed better controlls, which they seem not to have
ready yet, at least not to their satisfaction, see
http://www.alaska-software.com/vx/VX_BluePrint062003_EN.PDF
for details).

All the best,
Kai

Thank You Kai,

Kinda suspected that was the case.  Just wanted to be sure I'd not messed up
the installation.

I remember reading the documents you referred me to but, sure didn't
remember their content like you apparrently do.
