The dBASE Book Plus is, as the subtitle implies, a companion book to The dBASE Book (3rd Edition). It was written to discuss enhancements and changes to dBASE Plus since the 2.8 release of the software. This book covers changes from dBASE Plus 8, 9 and up to 10.1. These include, but are not limited to:
Upgrades to the Integrated Developer's Environment (IDE), including the Microsoft Foundation Classes
ADO (ActiveX Database Objects) - a way to free your applications from using the Borland Database Engine
Includes a basic, but fully functioning, application using ADO Database Classes
The new Graphics Engine, and some of the new features included with it
Enhancements to the Grid, and the new GridEx control
The new ListView Control
The new SQL Builder
The new (simpler) Data Module Designer
Improved ActiveX interface, and the ActiveX controls that are installed with dBASE Plus
Callbacks (from the Windows API)
High Precision Math, new Number Object, and more
And some new features for building and deploying applications ...
This is dedicated to those developers who have used my books over the years to help develop their applications.
