Missing feature of VFP web tools

There are couples of 3rd party VFP web tools available in market. Comparison Of VFP Web Tools can be found at Fox Wikis.

Each of the VFP web tools have its own strength and weakness. They focus on middle and backend. Only Voodoo web controls from EPS focus on UI layer. Why doesn't other web tools vendor like web UI control?

Voodoo allows developer to reuse the UI code, but still need to write many code. Also, as mentioned in my previous post, VFX has a new AFP builder to generate HTML from VFP form. It is a greate feature, but still not enough.

I do feel that it still miss out one important feature, that is Visual designer. With visual designer like ASP.NET, it would make VFP web apps developer life easier. Is it a hard work?

Hi,

Voodoo has stil some shortcomings, mainly the lack of support and further development at EPS, who see their fortune in DotNet.
If you're looking for VFP-based UI, then maybe take a look at www.AFPZONE.COM, which is a complete Web Application builder, written in AFP and generating AFP code.
