Every once in a while I walk thru the Spanish forum .. even though I do not intrepret your language very well ..

I stumbled on the first topic and with INTEREST

I see you are working on a Web IDE ????? looks very interesting. Can you elaborate more in english ?

Thanks
Rick Lipkin

Rick,

Its the result of some testings using javascript

We don't know yet how far we can go with it, anyhow we have some interesting ideas in mind...

Antonio

As your vision here has lead you to venture into java script .. I truly believe rich gui web apps are the future... especially given the large infrastructure I am in.

I am moving closer and closer to deploy once and run anywhere ( holy grail ) and I think I have pushed the limit of client\server and Win32.

This last project ( as you know ) had to launch from a intranet web page .. which meant the exe had to be self contained with no other files in the deployment folder.

I used sqloledb ( ado ) to connect to a sql server and using MS Sql Server, that means I do not have to deploy a run-time or have any fat client like Oracle or db2.

I would have liked to done this in an AJAX foundation .. but there is just nothing out there other than a few java\ajax languages.. see link

and the syntax is 'brutal' .. very difficult to understand. I applaud your vision and efforts here .. don't give up !! I hope it leads to a very promising venture for you .. and I think you are going to have a willing and attentive audience.

Rick,

I fully agree with you. Our idea is to reuse our FiveWin "know-how" and push it to the web

In the meantime we keep learning, as usual, but also having fun with it. Have a new look:

You have made amazing progress .. I see you can now move the controls around in the form !! I like your foundation. Be great to watch your progress as you add controls, folders, listbox..

How do you envision the code behind the controls .. xBase dialect seems like a challenge to bring to a java script ??

If you can somehow merge FW commands and methods, objects .. you will have acomplished an amazing hurdle.

Just looked again at your progress .. on your database .. connection section .. don't forget about sql connections ( ado )

Antonio:


Looks great.

Antonio, Rick

This looks great.

Antonio - are you making any progress?

I see progress in this as vital for the future.

Maybe the future is already here!

All the best
Jonathan

Jonathan,

Yes, we are working to get all the required components to implement it.
