Putting a web-style face on a Fox app 1

[Lauradc]

I've been using older versions of Fox (Mac, DOS, FPW26) for many years, but now I'm migrating many FPW26 apps to VFP6.

I have this pipedream of putting a web-page-style user interface into place, but continuing to use all the great Fox database manipulation and speed.

What would make that possible?

What would you consider Web-Style interface? Mike Gagnon

The idea I have in mind is something that either has a menu at the left, perhaps in a frame, with the equivalent of menu options (perhaps icons). If the user clicked on the item on the left, the right-hand pane (the larger part of the window) would display information about the option and one or more action buttons.

I figure this interface would be self-documenting for the user than a simple tool bar across the top or a menu bar, or even a window with the action buttons on it.

Make sense?

How about an Outlook style interface, with the side bar and the top bar. It looks pretty good.

Mike that link takes me to Thayer's World where I get a couple of ERRORS and a link that goes to THE PAGE CAN NOT BE FOUND
Do you have another link, or maybe the code needed for the toolbar?
