Make VFP cool!

There are couple of blogs show how to make VFP look cool! For example : -

• Recreating OneNoteTabs in VFP9
• What I have done with VFP, GDI+, and a ton of help from VFP Community (OR why VFP is COOL)
  
• ctl32_statusbar - A Status Bar Control Class For Visual FoxPro 9

Some of them are using pure VFP code, and some make use of WINAPIs call.

It just remind me what I did two years ago. Image below is one of the screenshot of my application that make use of listbar control which can be downloaded from UT download section. I make some changes on it and use some bitmaps so that it look XP theme. It is just simple changes.

Does it really cool? Well, it may not as cool as other tool mentioned above. However, at least, my customer impressed on it and asked : "Are you sure you are using VFP to do this?"
