Take
a look at Visual DataFlex 10's enhanced WinPrint, Wizards
and usability!
Visual DataFlex 10 has been released for Beta testing
and, in addition to the robust Web Services features that
this latest revision offers, developers are certain to love
the new WinPrint 2 features, Wizard enhancements, and overall
usability improvements, as well!
WinPrint
2
Visual DataFlex 10's new WinPrint 2 components include a significantly
improved viewer that offers faster previewing as well as background
previewing (to preview a report even as the report is being
generated), faster paging, a modern interface that's consistent
with the Crystal Reports viewer (for applications that use
both WinPrint2 and Crystal Reports), more intuitive operations,
improved Report Progress notification, support for JPEG and
other graphic file formats, and better control over graphic
file locations.
Studio
Wizards & Workflow
All of VDF 10's Studio Wizards have been improved and are
fully integrated with the Studio workflow improvements. In
addition, the Data Entry View and WinPrint 2 report Wizards
have been completely redesigned and are much more versatile.
Connectivity
Kits Included!
Visual DataFlex 10 Studio licenses now include 2-user development
and testing licenses for all the Data Access Worldwide database
connectivity options: Microsoft SQL Server, Pervasive.SQL
V8, IBM DB2 and ODBC (with Embedded SQL support). All of the
connectivity components are installed automatically and are
pre-registered for use with your Visual DataFlex 10 Studio
license. Your development environment will now have all the
connectivity options at your fingertips, and at no additional
charge!
And
More!
Additional features of Visual DataFlex 10 include:
-
Database
Explorer improvements;
-
New
improvements to the documentation;

A
