472 The Fundamentals of Visual FoxPro 6.0 DBI Technologies ActiveX controls DBI has been at the forefront of producing ActiveX controls that work in Visual FoxPro. Many ActiveX control vendors concentrate their efforts on the Visual Basic market, and thus many controls have difficulty running properly in VFP. DBI is one of the few vendors that has focused on the VFP market, making sure their controls behave properly in both VB and VFP. See Figure 16.15. www.dbi-tech.com Figure 16.15. The Component Toolbar from DBI.
Section IV Chapter 16: Customizing Your Development Environment 473 FoxAudit FoxAudit, from Take Note Consulting, allows developers to add complete, automatic, clientserver–like, transaction logging and audit trail support to their applications. It is implemented as a Visual FoxPro class that captures information each time a user inserts, updates, or deletes records in an application. The details of each update are stored in a transaction log table. See Figure 16.16. www.takenote.com Figure 16.16. Viewing a transaction log using FoxAudit. Foxfire! It’s the rare application that doesn’t require output, and it’s even rarer when you find a user who doesn’t want to change “one little thing” on the reports you’ve put together. Many developers decide they want to create a generic ad-hoc report writer that will allow users to create and store their own reports. A few months later, the developer emerges from his office, dark circles under his eyes, muttering, “If only I could get this one thing to work, I think I’d be done!” Foxfire!, from Micromega Systems, provides this functionality and more. See Figure 16.17.
